Come here and pretend to be vegan! You won't know you're eating plants.

This place is awesome. Food is 10/10 tasty, big servings, reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. They are hitting on all cylinders over there. We highly recommend.

Visiting KC from out of town and we are always on the lookout for restaurants where my kiddo with alpha gal syndrome can eat safely. Treehugger is a winner! The food was great, and it’s super family friendly. The lady who worked the register was so friendly. Really great place!

What a surprise it was to find a vegan restaurant in the Midwest. I admit, I’m a skeptical and biased Californian. Plugged my GPS straight here from the airport.
First of all, too many vegan goodness options. I was hungry and EVERYTHING sounded great.
I settled on the buffalo cauliflower bites and the KFC BBQ Sammy.
The cauliflower bites were perfect. You know how cauliflower can get soggy? These were not. Crisp and with the perfect amount of breading.
The KC BBQ was everything I remembered when I last ate pork back in the 80’s. My memory flooded with times from my youth but with the added comfort knowing no animal died for my tastebuds.
Go here. It’s that effing good 😋

i don’t know how i’ve lived in southwest missouri for almost two years and until very recently have slept on tree hugger kirchen—the food there is phenomenal!!! i’ll never be able to say enough good things about the reuben, and the caesar salad wrap was also great. the sweet treats are also excellent—the molasses ginger cookie was huge and perfectly chewy and the peanut butter pie was likewise excellent, full of peanut buttery chocolatey goodness…i can’t wait to go back!

My new birthday/special lunch spot. The food is great and my non-veg wife loves it as well. Shout out to the friendly and helpful staff as well.
Got the Monte Cristo😄was good and love that they practice zero waste by implementing compost/ recycle bins and not just a singular trash bin.

Love this place! Fantastic food with lots of options and big serving sizes. I'm a vegetarian and it's so nice knowing that I can truly get anything on the menu without wondering if it'll have meat in it by accident. Great food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.

I've been to this place twice so far. The first time was amazing. Great service and wonderful food. So happy to find a vegan resturant that is still open in MO. The second time I went, there was a young man who was heavy on the micro aggressions. I was just checking out the different menus while I was waiting to place my order. One menu is clearly labeled 'Lil Tot' menu = for kids and he wanted to make sure, with emphasis, that I knew it was the kids menu. When the young man brought the food out to the table he asked if an extra tray was needed to split the food 🙄. My partner is even vegan, he was treating me to a nice lunch. No, we didn't need another tray because it wasn't being shared. I will try again and hopefully moving forward there isn't an issue considering that the food is delicious. Had to knock a star because of that though.

I'm a certified meat eater so I didn't have high expectations for this place. I have now been twice and both times I have been, the food has been great. Just come in with the expectations that it won't be eating meat so it won't be the same as the dishes try to mimic but they get pretty closer. I had the buffalo Mac wrap and Reuben. Already looking forward to a 3rd visit

Very good vegan and gluten free food. But very pricey for us. 2 adults and 2 kids over $60 including tip and no drinks.
I was delightfully surprised!
