This place was great! Feels very crunchy hippy, original vegetarian restaurant. I got the chipotle tofu burger which was a new item. The crispness on it was fantastic. We also got the cheesecake for dessert, and they loaded up the vegan whipped cream! My server was vegan which was cool. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-30

If you’re a “give me the hippie veg food”/Moosewood restaurant type of person, they’ve got you. The vegan highlander was awesome (more places need to get on board with tofu tempeh in the same dish, yum. Also their tempeh is great) Updated from previous review on 2025-03-21

Staff was perfectly kind, but very slow. It took a very long time to get breakfast here. I ordered the poppy seed waffle and thought it was tasty but a little salty. Good selection of options on the menu. Overall, not a bad spot, but not anything to write home about.
