I was back in town to visit family. During my stay in Attleboro and Pawtucket I was looking for a good vegan breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised I didn't have to go to Providence. I ordered the Fuego sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Both had amazing flavor, and while the price sounds a tad high, it's not out of range for a breakfast of its magnitude. The Fuego has the right level of heat. The burrito is stuffed with fresh ingredients and toasted nicely for a crisp bit. Only word of advice for both foods. Don't try to eat the burrito while driving. It's huge, and the combination of ingredients make for a bite that demands sitting over a plate. The Fuego on a bagel is a great sandwich, but the hole in the bagel makes it somewhat messy. I dismantled it a bit during eating. Sitting at a table with a fork and knife is the better approach for this meal. A ciabatta would be a perfect vehicle for transferring this from foil to face. Yea, I at 'em both for breakfast. I am how fat vegans are forged. I had do walk down Dexter Street a few hundred yards. Like most places in the area, parking can be a challenge. But I'll face the challenge for this food.
Love this place and the people

Excellent vegan food, my family and I love the breakfast sandwiches our favs are the wafflenator, I personally enjoy the sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit , my sons love the bagel sandwiches. Lattes are amazing ! It all good ! It’s all yummy
Overall, as a non-vegan, I wouldn't come here again, at least not for the food. My girlfriend ordered a cinnamon roll for us both, and it was very tough and hard to chew. We also got coffee and a hot chocolate, which were pretty good, and worth getting again. Then our food came out - I just got an everything bagel with garlic cream cheese, which was quite delicious. My GF got an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel, and her bacon turned to a crumbly, almost sandy paste in our mouths, and neither she nor I could finish her sandwich because of the texture of the bacon. We tried picking it off but it would just crumble to powder in pieces when we tried to pull it off of the cheese. The eggs on the sandwich were also kind of a chalky texture. My bagel with garlic cream cheese was very tasty at least!
Vegetarian options: The menu is entirely VEGAN - keep this in mind if you're coming here. I've heard great things from vegans about this place but as a non-vegan this place does not have good food compared to what I'm used to (real eggs and bacon, cow milk, real cheese, cow cream etc).
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten-free options!
Parking: The parking situation wasn't bad midmorning on a Sunday but driving by I've noticed the street parking gets super dense and hard to find a spot on weekdays and Saturday evenings.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. There is a big step up to get in and the place is too cramped to have a wheelchair inside.

The bomb. Ryan is friendly and efficient. Nothing was less than spectacular-- the tofu bite appetizer, the pot pie pasta, the parsnip cake, the turmeric mocktail. All made with love and fresh ingredients. As a gay man, I feel very comfortable here. THis is an excellent place for a date night. Thank you Todd for introducing me to this place. Trying to think of something bad-- OK parking may be a bit challenging.

Honestly the best vegan food and coffee I’ve had in awhile. The chipotle Mac and cheese was phenomenal and a good portion. Cinnamon dolce latte was smooth and not too bitter not too sweet. I didn’t ask but it looked like at least some of their sauces for coffees were homemade. Already told two friends about this place and I haven’t even left yet. Definitely coming back.

I just moved into the neighborhood. So was looking for a new spot and heard so many great things so had to check it out for myself. It was a cozy great atmosphere place. The service was phenomenal and coffee was delicious. I can't wait to go back to try the food and the many different flavors of coffee they offer. ☕️🏳️🌈

I’m not one to leave negative reviews and to be honest it makes me feel really bad to do so, but I think it’s important to put it out there after today. Maybe the workers of this place will someday appreciate the perspective coming from a regular customer.
I absolutely love the coffee so it’s too bad that I feel the need to write this. There was a period where I went here every day… and when they had a GoFundMe, I was one of the first people to donate because I believe in supporting a local business. As you can imagine, coming here frequently not just for one latte, but sometimes two and three in a day because I also buy for my family, it adds up. They had a loyalty card which literally says every 10th drink is free with nine planting pots and a star (which is the 10th drink) however, they would not grant this. It’s technically the 11th drink that they give you free. Then, they transitioned to a different reward system, which is very inconsistent. I went in there two separate times today, once in the morning for myself and I did not earn a star although I entered my phone number, and then I came in at the end of the day for three more lattes and again did not earn stars. I voiced that it’s frustrating and very inconsistent considering I use Apple Pay every time and it’s not an issue on my end. This happens too often, sometimes you earn a star and sometimes you don’t. This is not about the money or getting a free drink, I spend money here because I enjoy the taste of the lattes and baked goods, however, it’s an INTEGRITY issue for me. Today they gave me another loyalty card (after I voiced my concern) punched it four times and proceeded to say “ Don’t forget you need to buy 10 drinks before you get the 11th one free.’’ (as if I’m the problem) Well, the loyalty cards should specify that, and the check-in system for rewards should be working correctly by now. I was a loyalty customer, but am no longer going to support this place.
Also, if you aren’t going to be friendly to customers, maybe you shouldn’t work the front register. It doesn’t hurt to smile or ask how the person’s day is- if you’re trying to grow a business, it starts with building relationships with customers. I will say that in the beginning, people were friendly which was another reason it was easy for me to support them but this place is not the same.

We got lavender matcha and lavender lemonade, and it tasted like we were drinking a flower field. Absolutely delicious drinks, cozy atmosphere and kind staff

We orders take out, but we thought the space looked really nice and cozy. Our food was TO DIE FOR !! The cassava crepes, mmm the delicata doughnuts , we should have gotten 2 orders. Beet and Avacado salad with a perfect citrus dressing, also should have gotten 2! We are now planning our next order! Run! This place is genius.

Always delicious- the Morning Ritual Latte is wonderful!
The new dinner menu on the weekend is amazing, creative and flavorful. I had the crab cakes and crepes which were just so dam good. The parsnip dessert was delish, super moist. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable with places to eat and lounge. I would for sure come back again and again.
