Atmosphere is excellent, super relaxed and pleasant. Cushions for sitting available at some spots. Employees always happy to talk and try to educate about the food and tea. The tea is excellent and the variety is great. The food is delicious, I love the quality of the sauces in the Mediterranean platter.

Delicious food with a conscience, spring specials on point! And lots of goodies for a sweet tooth after your meal.

Just an incredible place with beautiful food. Vegan or not, this place feels like a spa in the best way and has amazing food we feel amazing after eating - everyone who works there is so genuinely kind and calm. Their plant-based pastries slap so hard.This is my new favorite restaurant, my only complaint is it’s far from where I live. I want the absolute best for this place, I never write reviews for restaurants. Please support this amazing, welcoming, inclusive place.

Mediterranean platter: Smoothest hummus ever, baba ganoush had such depth of flavor, tzatziki was ok, pita was fresh with enough crunch to stand up to dipping. West African stew was delicious, flavorful, worth having. Kamala masala was good, nutmeg flavor was a welcome taste but it was a little sweet. Matcha latte tea was refreshing and didn't need sweetener. Service was quicker than expected. I would recommend the restaurant and expect to return.

High quality, DELICIOUS, affordable vegan & gf food in Southern Mass?! What?! It sounds too good to be true, but it's so real. The people here are lovely and the food is so delicious I suspect it would please even the bro-est of kegstanding tailgate bros. So affordable compared to basically any restaurant in the area & filling portions, plus a lovely shaded patio where you can sit with dogs. The interior ambiance is very zen, as well. Food comes just like in the pictures, if not more robust. Their dragon bowl & chai rank among the best edible things in Massachusetts.Edit: minus 1 star because, despite me being a long time customer & it never being an issue before, someone there - I think the owner, possibly? - hassled me about my service dog. Who was well behaved, quiet, still, bothering no one, lying under the table. Some other snobby patrons were muttering about dogs in restaurants. She wasn’t shedding everywhere or drooling or chewing on furniture. She was a model of good behavior, bothering no one, helping me, and I still got side eyed and ushered out by this guy despite being a long time customer who spends a lot of money here, is laid back with their occasional mistakes. I’d tip lavishly as well if the place allowed tips, because there have been some truly spectacular staff here at times. But this guy in every way but outright (illegally) stating it, made it clear my dog wasn’t welcome. We usually sit outside as a courtesy but it was winter & no outdoor tables were available.So I haven’t gone back since. It just left a bad taste in my mouth. Zero respect for the fact that we were regular good customers and my dog was perfectly behaved. I can see, rationally, as I wasn’t alone, there might be a question as to why the dog was needed when a person was with me. I was dropping the person off and had been alone all day and would be again after lunch. The dog is necessary for day to day medical alert purposes and I couldn’t leave her home in this case - needed her the rest of the day while alone. I guess we could have skipped lunch but there was, as I saw it, no reason to. She’s legally allowed inside and is good as is required by law. So the whole thing was just lame & though a minor irritation, I’ll honestly not go back because of the discomfort and embarrassment of this random man coming over and lowkey harassing us (out of line) after what had already been a hard, crazy day, based on a side eye from 2 ignorant animalphobes who straggled in, probably not even as regular customers.Also, I wish they allowed tipping, but I understand why they don’t. Not allowing it is better for customers but it sucks for service industry staff who realistically probably can’t be making more than $15/hour, I’m guessing, which is just not that much these days. Having worked in the industry formerly, I think this is more a gimmicky quirk of management that isn’t very sensitive to the needs of workers. But I may be wrong on that, so that’s just a side note.This was a 4 star review but I docked it one the more I thought about it, because honestly, we won’t be back and more than a year later, I’m still annoyed and frankly fed up with being targeted as a minority. There’s just a point where you get fed up, and I used to think, “Oh, there’s one of those problem people who likes to raise a fuss and get entitled!” but honestly, you just get fed up with these passive aggressive bullies trying to run you around because you have some kind of disability or health issue that they don’t understand. I’m not trying to a pain in anyone’s butt, just trying to have a normal life & I’m endlessly considerate and apologetic for myself all the time, and today I’m changing this because I’m so tired of it. We did nothing. We were awesome. This is on that dude.

Lovely, comforting, nurturing and delicious! A cozy, colorful setting with an interesting menu that includes a large tea selection. The teas are described as thoughtfully and carefully as one would normally see when dealing with wine or bourbon. The person who waited on me (table service) provided both insight and personal favorites when I asked for suggestions with a tea choice.I eventually chose an organic Oolong and was really happy with it. In fact, I bought a bag of loose tea to take home with me.I also had an oatmeal whoopie pie, drizzled with chocolate. Whoa, was that amazing. It absolutely tasted gourmet, artisanal and expensive, but nothing I bought was overpriced or prohibitively expensive. The large bag of loose tea, which will last me a couple of months, was only about $15.The tea, when served at a table, came in a heavy pot, and was enough for several little cups. It was certainly enough to share. The oatmeal whoopie pie was decadent and also shareable.In addition to all of this, as I was signing my credit card receipt, I saw that there was no place for me to leave a tip. (See included picture.) This restaurant pays their staff an actual LIVING WAGE, as opposed to below minimum wage and making them survive on tips!l absolutely will return and hope you visit this little slice of Nirvana.Vegetarian options: SeveralDietary restrictions: We're very careful with my food allergies.Parking: Small free parking lot out front but a larger free parking lot out back.

Very cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food and tea was delicious. So many items to choose from. Extensive tea selection. Fresh ingredients. I ordered the Babba Buddha wrap on a gluten free wrap which came with a side of mixed greens. Meal was delicious. Highly recommend.

Great food and very friendly staff. Amazing baked goods and the tea and coffee selection are fantastic. Eating in is a treat but getting takeout here is always a hassle. If they say 15 on the phone it's going to be 30 minutes and there isn't really any room to wait. I have no problem waiting longer for my food but just be honest about the ETA so I don't have to sit there awkwardly twiddling my thumbs for 15 minutes. I'm sure my frustration isn't helping the ambiance.Vegetarian options: Entirely Vegan!!! It's such a relief to be able to order anything on the menu without having to interrogate the staff.

Not for me and Lisa or anyone who has bad knees. Two places for a group to take their shoes off and sit in a circle with pillows and a table. I would have thought it was cool in my younger days, pre arthritis.
