One of my favorite restaurants! I’ve been ordering the quesadilla and vegan rancheros here for 10 years and still haven’t gotten tired of it. And the cupcakes here are the best!!!
Moved in next door fall of ‘25. Needed super healthy boost and found it here! I love the menu and I’m not even a vegetarian. Everyone working does a fantastic job to be chill create amazing drinks, meals and snacks. This is a place I went to back in the early 90’s. So glad it survived to today. Well worth a visit.
They cook food fresh and it's worth the wait. Very fun views of the neighborhood and close to parts of the UMN campus. It's obvious they treat their workers well and the workers seem happy to be there. There's something for everyone on the menu too.
