All the food is so wholesome and tasty. One of the best restaurants on the downtown mall. You can pick anything on the menu that you're in the mood for and it's good. Special, seasonal menus are like the icing on the cake.

This place is located within an outdoor, walkable mall. The indoor seating area was amazing.
For breakfast, they only have a handful of menu items available, plus some items in the display case like fruit and cookies. I had the Breakfast Sandwich and liked it. Wife had Sesame Avocado Toast, and she enjoyed it.
We went back for dinner and was amazed at all the things available. I had the Roasted Sweet Potato Bowl and some lentil soup. Both were so good I'm still thinking...

Extremely delicious food! Was in the town for the weekend and stopped in for brunch because I saw this restaurant was exclusively plant-based. I got the gluten-free savory waffles (under the brunch menu waffles 2 ways) which could quite easily be the tastiest breakfast I’ve ever had. Was able to eat outdoors and enjoy the weather too ☀️ Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and try some more!
