Love the aesthetic and the several vegan options, my partner is gluten-free and vegan so it was cool that they had options for her as well. I got the burger and fries with some soup of the day! Can't go wrong! If I'm in Richmond again I will return! ❤️
The food and options for vegans are excellent. It’s one of my favorite spots in Richmond as far as the food goes. But the staff aren’t super friendly (a couple in particular) and they make it impossible to order food to go. They never answer the phones and don’t have a simple way to order online.
Love the sandwiches here! My favorite one isn’t on the menu anymore (I don’t think) but they used to do a peanut butter bacon banana sandwich that was to die for. They still have lots of great options and it’s a great vibe there too!

Sweet staff, cool drinks, cute environment, delicious vegan nom noms
Good diner style breakfast. plenty of vegan offerings although I stuck to the good old sausage and eggs. Super busy and pretty loud atmosphere but good food and great location for the VCU campus kids and those just wandering down Cary Street.

Love this place and Thursdays is happy hour all day!!
Food was good. Service a little slow. Not a lot of seating. What little free parking they have is reserved for their employees. Wasn't digging the atmosphere.

Ate the club sandwich and I'm not even a member! I don't know how I got away with it.

Waited about 45 minutes for a table, and then waited for an hour and half for eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Food was Luke warm at best. Also the prices online don't match what's inside. Mimosas up to $7 and very weak. Not worth it.

The service was very attentive. They offer a wide selection of draft beers, including the IPA I had, which was excellent. The food was, of course, delicious and very fairly priced.
Highly recommended!

Cultish and yuppie meets musty and overpriced
My husband and I went there on a Saturday morning. We sat at the bar, even though the place looked like it was in dire need of a cleaning we stuck around and ordered. Our food came out an hour and twenty minutes later and my husband’s breakfast burrito was very bland. Apparently they forgot to use any seasoning. As we were leaving I stopped to use the bathroom which was very nasty. Not only did it reek in urine but it just looked so unsanitary. I swore I might’ve caught something just by being in there. Absolutely horrible. They need to do a better job of cleaning and wearing hairnets in the kitchen. I would not recommend this place to any of our friends or family. No thanks!

It's a small dining area, so it gets very noisy because of the multiple conversations. We ended up taking our food to go because of that, but I'd order again due to the extensive options. I got the tofu scramble, vegan sausage, pancake, and biscuit, and everything was pretty good, albeit dry except the sausage. We waited 20-ish minutes for food and our server seemed so over her shift, which...fair lol.

Some of the pancakes were a bit undercooked, the flour wasn’t mixed too well. But the other pancakes were decent,the vegan sausage was decent as well.

So me and my wife came to this establishment at about 10:45 am and our food didn’t reach us for close to an hour this all while sitting at the bar. The food was pretty tasty but the service was very poor to say the least. Idk if everyone was having a bad day but none of the staff seemed to have much personality. And no one actually apologized for the extended wait. All the items we ordered were quick items as well.
