Lovely spot for some vegan soul food, it’s a little hard to find but it’s very much worth it. Highly recommend the oyster mushroom “chicken” snaps!

I've only had one thing I didn't care for here. And the only other thing is the time they're open. They close when I'm getting home from work. Overall the food is good.

The food is so good. I got the gyro plate, it was delicious and tasty. I also ordered the lentil soup. The soup was seasoned and with lots of flavor. My daughter ordered the cauliflower bites and loved them. The seasoning on the bites was perfect. Both of our orders came with fresh cut fries and that was fried perfectly. We also got the blueberry lemonade and the fiber lemonade. The fiber lemonade is not too sweet and perfect. The blueberry lemonade is sweet but not too sweet, which makes it perfect for your kids. Especially if you don’t want your child drinking a lot of sugaring drinks, the blueberry lemonade does the job. Great service and great food. It was my first time eating here and I will be ordering again.

Excellent food. Tons of good vegan options. Would absolutely get it again. I can't recommend the soul plate enough.

Went here based on the photos of the place which included images of their chalkboard menu and inside dining. When I arrived it looked like a completely different location (which I realized after confirming it was the right place on their website that they are at a temporary location). Currently it isnt a cafe at all. It's a small building with thick bulletproof glass and long counter seperating the small ordering section with a few chairs and the back of house kitchen. The place smelled so strongly of oil that my partner and I had to shower and wash our clothes after only being in there for 15 or so minutes. The options were very limited, and you'll want to check their website menu vs going off of the images in the reviews of the chalkboard menu. No soup or mac n cheese soulfood type options. All of the actual reasons we came weren't there from atmosphere, to nice sitdown dining and food options were not there. We gave it a go anyway in hopes for some good tasting food as per the reviews but it was not good food. The fake meat was incredibly oily and did upset our stomachs later. The salad and fry servings are small. The actual cost of the meals considering how sketchy the location was and how not as advertised it was, was shocking. The salad was also very basic and small portioned considering it is a vegan/veg place. What I can say is the woman who took our order was kind, and didn't mind repeating some things through the mic, and the kitchen staff were good about coming back to confirm an order when there was a miscommunication vs just giving ua their best guess (which we appreciated). In otherwords the staff were good. But I would absolutely not go back, especially while they're at that temporary location.

I don’t really have much words that can describe how good the food is. I picked up their thanksgiving meal on thanksgiving day as I have for the last few years. I drive 2 hours each way for this. 10/10. They make the best vegan ribs in a 10000 mile radius. The Mac & cheese is so addicting. It also came with a dessert, a chocolate cake. I gave bits to my family to try, and they couldn’t believe it was vegan. The portions are very generous and it’s so worth every penny.

I was so happy to see a few more people come in to pick up meals after I did. They seemed really busy. I think more people should try this wonderful vegan cafe. They are very kind, and the food has always been so fresh and always has that home cooked meal taste.

I am a huge “foodie” and I’ve tried many vegan restaurants since I became vegan 6 years ago. I’d say I try a new place every 2 weeks or so……… This is and has always been #1 on my list.

I so enjoyed my time there. The staff was friendly and attentive. There was a wide variety of different dishes and all I had were good The owner made his rounds to each table. Family Owen, I like that

Seriously, I was raised if you have nothing good to say, be quiet. I have a responsibility to share that you will be extremely disappointed with this place. The mac was horrible, unedible, watery and filled with tumeric..it was a tumeric bowl with noodles, the potato salad I am uncertain what the plan was for this, greens was decent and fish sandwich okay, but I spent 37 with delivery. Food is an experience, it makes us happy, we fellowship and we eat... this was missing soul and I want to say more, but will reframe.

Idk... where the 150 five stars came from...perhaps I ordered the wrong six items or it was an off day....

OR.. The reviews are from family, friends and neighbors.

i never been to the restaurant since i am very far away but i have ordered through uber eats a couple times and its always sooo yummy. even after 40 mins of sitting everythings still crispy and warm. last time i ordered i got the soul plate with oyster mushrooms and mashed potatoes and greens and soup. im not really a big fan of lentils but the lentil soup is so flavorful!!! i havent found many vegan restaurants that offer authentic soul food flavors so i really enjoy ordering from here ??
