I’m so glad i finally tried the food here! Everything is so good! My whole family has liked pretty much everything they’ve tried. For a weekend treat they chose veggie burgers, smoothies, and acai bowls over any other option. They’re also very helpful with food allergies which is really hard to find!

I deliver goods to them, never heard of em before but i love smoothies. By far one of the best ones I've had! After drinking it, I wish I've gotten the bigger size. They've also got food im dying to try next time. The owners are amazingly cool people too. I don't live out in that area, but best belive imma drive out there for that smoothie 🫦

Just left here. I got the black bean burger and the black bean burritos with truffle and sweet potato fries. This was the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to in Illinois. Also the owners were so sweet and kind and accommodating. You have a forever customer in me. This food was so delicious

Dropped in for the vegan mac burger with sweet potato fries. I enjoyed talking to the owner. My order was ready upon arrival and everything was hot and fresh, I even got my extra pickles i ordered.

This place rocks! Food is great, staff is super friendly. I love the variety offered on the menu and always great to have whole ingredients and in-house prepared food. Definitely give this place a try! Plenty of parking and nice clean bathrooms too.

My first time coming to Kankakee, and I thought I’d stay hungry until I got back home to Chicago. Then, I found this hidden gem in Northfield Square Mall. The owners, Robert and Denise, were so nice and passionate about the food they serve with the intention of bringing awareness to the vegan lifestyle, and it’s BLACK OWNED! I tried a small piece of their pumpkin cake which was delicious, and I ordered a falafel sandwich with sweet potato fries “yam’d” up that hit every spot.

A delicious and healthy food option in Kankakee County. Quality is top notch and portions are plentiful.

Loved my brat and burger. The owner chatted with us and made us feel at home. My mango smoothie was to die for! I’m definitely going back even though I live an hour away.

Lent was the perfect opportunity to try out this vegan spot I always walk past. I should have stopped by sooner. The vegan mac is out of this world! The best vegetarian burger I've tried. The bun was soft and fluffy. The patty was incredible. And BIG! As a meat lover, I can't believe it is vegan! The sauce tastes like an elevated bigmac sauce. I can't wait to try out the other burgers (which probably won't happen since I have a feeling I'll just end up ordering the vegan mac again!). She also had falafels for sale. You can't beat a fresh, homemade falafel. I bought falafel balls as such and it was very good. The only thing I'd add is some salt. If you're having a falafel wrap, it won't be an issue.

For vegans (and non-vegetarians), this spot is a must try. Even my in-laws, who are picky eaters, said the burgers were fantastic! And that is high praise coming from them.

Traveling for work and was delighted to find a vegan cafe near my hotel. I ate here every day for a week and was never disappointed with the food.
