Food is beautiful and tasty and vegan desserts are outstanding! The vegan options are limited, but I've had the Buddha bowl twice and will likely have it everytime I come here. It is that good! Decent coffee/tea/latte menu and did I mention the desserts? There is a wide selection of vegan and gluten free treats. This is the kind of place to sit and enjoy food and companionship! I love the vibe!
Got a really delicious, spicy masala chai with oat milk and a delicious vegan and gluten free peanut butter cookie ! Really cute cafe, very cozy, great vibes. I’ll be back !
