Had been to this place once before, but it was a couple of years ago. Went here for breakfast as they cater to mixed diets. I’m vegan and my friend isn’t. We had a little bit of a wait, but that’s to be expected on a Saturday morning.

I had the brunch tofu hash with a side of vegan sausage and an orange juice. My friend had 2 eggs scrambled with potatoes, a side of sausage, a side of turkey bacon, a side of 2 poached eggs and Moroccan mint tea.

Overall,...

Absolutely loved the vegan options available. The vegan pancakes were good and the fresh blueberry compote was excellent. We also had the vegan version of a BLT, the TLT. Good sandwich and fries!

Service was great and the menu was clearly marked, with more than a handful of actually good vegan options!

This cafe's name is well deserved. It's very cozy, the staff members are kind, and the food is very good. I recommend the pancakes and the brunch burger. I'll certainly be back to try the rest of the food.
