I got their veggie breakfast bowl with suggested vegan modifications. This is my first time in the area and had low expectations for vegan options, so seeing clearly labeled vegan items was exciting! Options are limited but I enjoyed the meal I had! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-01
If I didn’t have a tiny suitcase, I would be buying up every bit of tempeh in this building, freezing it, and taking it home with me. I had the vegan breakfast bowl which was wholesome, healthy and delicious—perfectly aligned with my health goals. The real star of the dish was the tempeh! No bitter taste, it was crispy, buttery and delicious.
There wasn’t a lot for vegans and it was more like the kind of thing I would make myself at home, not beautiful, just pretty basic. The vegan version of my veggie bowl meant they just leave out some of the toppings. It would be more tasty if they added vegan cheese or some type of vegan sauce (tahini?).
Would have liked more options. We were there for breakfast and I ended up putting together a few sides to get tempeh and tomato gravy, which is quite like tomato sauce, plus coleslaw. The staff was friendly but we waited quite a while for our orders even though it was not packed when we were there. There was another day where we noticed a lot of people waiting so probably best to either go early or off-times.
Don’t understand how this is place rated so well. Several vegan options, but no flavor in any of them. It looked so promising but disappointed.
I tried the tofu scramble. It was good, but they were out of all vegan bread except GF white toast. There wasn’t vegan butter, so I added jam. It also came with grits or fries. I chose grits because I eat fries too often. They normally come with dairy-based cheese, so they were completely plain. Not great. My daughter had the roasted mushroom/veggie sandwich. It was good, but it really needed some kind of sauce. The fries were just okay. My non-veg daughter enjoyed her meal. The place was cute, and the service was friendly.
It was just ok. They were out of a lot of things.
We went here for breakfast and I quite liked my meal, the tofu scramble. Unfortunately the grits I got as part of the meal had cheese, as I mistakenly assumed a menu item marked vegan would fully meet that description, sides included. I asked the server after getting my food and they confirmed mine came with cheese, BUT you can order them without it. You could also get a side of potatoes instead. If you are eating vegan here I would be very clear and careful when ordering to avoid this. It looks from other reviews like other diners here have similar stories (like another reviewer, my toast also came with a wrapped pat of real butter, if you want to avoid that).
Service was good. Options were clearly marked… but my vegan plate arrived with a wrapped pad of actual butter and a biscuit that was clearly not vegan…
Sooo inconsistent! Food will be amazing then horrible honestly a 50/50 chance if it will be good or awful. Too expensive to keep trying will not go back anymore. Also unsure with the inconsistency if the food is also vegan and not made with butter. BEWARE!

Loved it! I got the grits with the veggies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not a whole lot of vegan options. The staff is were lovely and knowledgeable. I had the grit cake, and that itself was a bit bland, but the gravy and veggies on it were spectacular. Also super long wait.
Staff is awesome and place has a nice vibe. I felt the vegan options were a little confusing and not clear. As far as the food it was just ok.
Best tofu scramble and potatoes!
Tofu scramble was great, tempeh was pretty bland
