I order here frequently. My palate may be biased, but I swear if you gave their food to a carnivore, they’d have no idea it’s vegan. No, it’s not healthy, but it sure is delicious. They pay their staff a living wage & tips are built in to the prices. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-04

It was good… but I can’t stand the misleading lingo they have hanging up claiming that they’re a no tipping establishment (which I’m all for), but not only did they up the prices, they AUTOMATICALLY add a 20% tip to your bill…so it’s a “you-don’t-get-to-choose-you-have-to-tip-20%” establishment. I almost never tip less than 20% on principle, but the quality of service was definitely lower since I guess they knew they didn’t have to try that hard Updated from...

10/10 always delicious. Get the Buffalo fries 🤤 Kind and happy staff, no tvs so you have to actually talk to one another 😉 no tipping because they actually care about their employees and pay them living wages 🎉
