Found this spot during an impromptu trip north from Northampton MA. Great find, cool vibe, attentive staff. It was not only my birthday but also a woman at the next table’s. Staff took the last piece of the dessert we’d both ordered, cut it in half, served one to each, and it was on the house. Sweet!!

If this was in New York or Montreal there would be a long line to get in.
Had the Meatloaf, and ordered the Bahn Mi wrap to go.
Both were excellent! One of the best Vegan meals I've ever had.

Had the nachos at the pop up at BUI skatepark today. Chili was absolutely INSANE. 1000/10

This place has the best food we've ever had! The only liability is you'll be so overly full from trying everything and loving it. Kind staff, cool outdoor patio. We are from the PNW with numerous vegan restaurants a stone's throw from our house and this little VT gem makes us jealous we don't live there!

This place is amazing! Great food, great service. Spectacular menu. If they were open for lunch, I'd be in trouble. I will be back!

This place is a true gem!! My boyfriend and I tried it and got hooked!! The flavors are colorful, warm, delish, truly crafted. I almost don’t want to give a review because then it will be crowded even more than they are and how will I greedily eat ?
Vegetarian options: This restaurant is a vegan restaurant that I can never get enough of!!

Tasty and hearty dishes. I’m not vegan and loved it all, special mention to the buffalo cauliflowers wings appetizer. Super cozy covered outdoor seating.

I ate outside both times with my SO here and the food/deserts were incredible. The Mexican chorizo buddha bowl is to die for, vibrant and delicious. Edamame pesto pasta was well balanced and generous with their portions. The Tofu Rangoon is crazy, honestly one of the best appetizers I have ever had.
Personally, eating outside at night was way more fun, scenic and the music (if a little loud) was really nice. Really great atmosphere and staff were super kind.

Order the meatloaf! No one probably ever says that but if you loved meatloaf as a child and haven’t had it in years… rejoice! Staff was also so kind right at closing, that means more than the food sometimes. In this case, five stars all around
My partner and I love to visit Vermont every few months and try out new places to eat. I usually struggle finding restaurants that are gluten/dairy free friendly so when we came across this hidden gem, we decided to give it a try. We are not vegan but they are very allergy friendly and had meals we both enjoyed. The environment was very nice, all of the staff were friendly and made sure to greet everyone who came in or left. Our server, Nick, was very attentive and frequently checked on us to make sure we were doing okay. We both loved the food and the mock-tails, overall our experience was really good, we felt very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a cute date night spot or an allergy friendly place. We plan to come back next time we're in town!

First time at Vegan A. F. tonight. Not a vegan, I was eager to try here because I know one of the owners as an amazing cook/chef in the past at non- vegan places.
She and the rest of the staff shined tonight! Tried their award winning chili - very good; coconut curry vegetable soup - outstanding!; gluten free cake; non dairy mousse, etc. etc. If all vegan dishes are as tasty as this, wow! (And I hear they are!)
A great experience for this novice.

So many awesome options with the most wonderful staff. Lots of interesting and unique dishes on the menu, would highly recommend coming here if you’re passing through or even making the trip there just for the food. Make a reservation beforehand if you can, it’s gets pretty busy!

Amazing food, staff and atmosphere. Everything always comes out perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. By far the most creative vegan options in Southern Vermont.
