We were sightseeing in Cleveland and I searched on my phone for nearby vegan food. What a find! This cute little neighborhood place was still doing mostly carry-out business in the wake of the pandemic. They allowed us to have a dining area to ourselves. Since we were unfamiliar with their menu the enthusiastic man at the counter convinced us to let them create something we would love. It was amazing. We had more than we could eat and every bit was fresh, delicious, and 100% vegan.

Such good food!! One of the best spots in the city for Vegan options. They have a spicy chicken sandwich during normal hours but for brunch on the weekend they do a chicken and waffle dish.. I've only had the veggie version and it's beyond good! The owner is usually working and is a very kind and funny guy. I've been going here for years and have never left the place without laughing at least once. Definitely worth a try, especially for people with different dietary needs!

Do NOT eat here if you're vegan or vegetarian! This place claims to be vegan/veggie friendly but they are far from that. I ordered the "unfried fries" for take out and there was chicken hidden in my food! I found it after I took a bite and realized what was in my mouth! Spit it out and immediately wanted to vomit, I haven't had meat in over 15 years. It totally looked like it was cooked with the potatoes too and blended in very well. When I called to speak to the owner, Nima, I was told that he would immediately call me back and he never reached out. Just proved that the owner doesn't actually care about offering true vegan options. Makes me not trust that anything here is truly vegan. Will not be returning and will be telling my vegan/vegetarian friends to avoid this place. Attached photo of chicken

I called to place a pickup order. The man who answered the phone was incredibly rude and patronizing. You heard me right. I agree. It's really bizarre to be rude and patronizing to a customer on the phone. Apparently, my offense was that I asked if they offered any breakfast items for take out, and because I read the online menu incorrectly about when breakfast was offered, he felt he should unleash a multitude of patronizing remarks trying to clarify how "wrong" I was for making that mistake. He assumed I read the wrong online menu and offered me the example of how he would never make that mistake, claiming, "If I wanted something at Costco, I wouldn't go to GOOGLE, I would go to the WEBSITE. Do you see what I mean?? Do you see what I mean??" Yes. I see how you mean to treat the imperfect human beings you call customers like trash. I ended up not giving them my business, for obvious reasons. #selfrespect

I just tried this place for the first time and the VEGAN Grilled Chicken Fresco Panini sandwich. It was on my favorite ciabatta bread served with pasta salad and cole slaw. The slaw was a little too oily but still taste good. Overall this meal was extremely feeling and take wonderful. Service was fast too!

Kona smoothie was wonderful, can't wait to try the food!

Just moved down the street from here and wanted to check it out. I was so stunned! The food tasted amazing, I had the spicy chicken sandwich, but I'm excited to explore the menu a bit more. The owner is so nice and conversational, which made the experience so homey (Mind you, I was only getting take out). Excited to see the place with people in it.

Amazing and friendly service and great great food. I forgot to take pictures of the food because it look so good that we just ate . Perfect seasoning and great taste. We ordered Cuban sandwich, California BLTs and 2 Vegan imposible burgers. Wow! When I say I will be going back for more is an understatement. The smoothies we tried (Ocean Side and Sunset with no yogurt), taste so much like the real fruit. Sweet but not extremely sugary! And the desert Vegan Cookie Butter cake. It was perfect amount of chocolate, moist and soft and melted in the mouth. We will definitely be going back for more of those desserts.

Nothing on the menu really stands out. All very typical plain American fare. Guy taking orders was less than friendly. Just short in attitude and seemed mad about something. Hesitant to describe the raw cashew cheesecake to me. I got a piece of raw berry cashew cheesecake and an Impossible burger. He slathered Hershey's chocolate syrup and strawberry slices al over the raw berry cashew cheesecake...why?!? I had to wipe off the nasty processed syrup chocolate from the delicious $8 frozen berry purée and nutty soft raw cheesecake. It was actually very good once the sauce was wiped off. I also ordered a piece of the chocolate peanut butter cake but he gave me an Oreo chocolate cake and slathered that in sauce too- I didn't notice until I got home so it was too late but he clearly wasn't paying attention. The Impossible burger was well done and came with onion, wonderfully fresh greens, and juicy tomato. The bun was toasted yet hard/stale. The fries were flaccid and greasy (oddly enough I prefer soft greasy fries so this is okay) with great salt and black pepper seasoning. Unexpectedly good fries. Skip the food and order cake here.
Amazing vegan options. I love the chicken sandwich! You would never know that a lot of his food is vegan. He can make everything on his menu vegan.

The spicy chicken sandwich is a must try. Love the fresh taste. Vegan option is just as good as the standard.

Best vegan food I have ever eaten!! I love this place and eat there every time I’m in the area! All the dishes can be made vegan or non and the desserts are delicious. The owner’s dry wit is a bonus!

This place has perfected vegan fried chicken. It’s amazing. Seriously.

This is one of my new favorite restaurants in cle! For the price you get so much tasty food. Pictured is the fried tofu sandwich and my friend got the marinated tofu wrap which was also to die for. If you're looking for a great restaurant with quick service this is the place. Perfect for meat eaters and vegetarians, plus anything can be made vegan! Go support this local business can't wait to come back
