This cozy nook a couple doors down from The Nook on the downtown mall has that down to earth cottage in the woods vibes. The decor is immaculate. The food is comforting. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I'm stunned by how delicious my cupcake and (crab) soup were. But what really sold me on the place was watching them steam the milk for my chai latte with the loose tea and spices in the milk. It was truly phenomenal. This is a place I will want to come back to...

I have been vegan for 8+ years and this is by far my favorite vegan restaurant I have been to. Food is outstanding, fresh and healthy ingredients are always a plus. My favorite dish is their Miso Mac & Cheese. I love to grab a treat (cupcake, rice crispy) as well. Great for solo diners. Cool atmosphere, staff is very friendly and knowledgable. You need to try it here!

I am not a vegan (nor even a vegetarian), but love good healthy food. This place is fantastic. The food was delicious and filling. The workers were friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing.
