I can defintely recommend eating here. The food was Excellent, and service was friendly, attentive and relatively quick. The atmosphere feels upscale. The bowls are a solid choice. So many to choose from. Decent-sized parking lot and space inside the restuarant feels perfect for the size. When in Appleton, this would serve you well when the hunger pangs kick in.

The Food is great! That said, we've been there twice now and the ventilation is poor the exhaust above the cooking area must not be operating properly. Please have this looked into.

The vegan food is severely lacking here. We started with a salsa/guac/queso appetizer - for $13 I was expecting more - especially more chips (I had to pay $2 more for chips in order to finish my appetizer) and quac. I was extremely disappointed with my first entree choice, the flatbread. Presentation was underwhelming, the pizza (it is not flatbread) was burnt but soggy at the same time. Absolutely NO flavor and the toppings were gross. I sent that $14 mess back and my server brought me the Mexi bowl. Presentation was very nice and the flavor profile was much better - but how hard it it to make rice, beans, pico, mango salsa, jalapeno, dry-slaw and spring mix (with a weird vegan cheese on top)? I only came here because my friend, who is not vegan, wanted to eat here. I lived around the corner since this place opened and never had the desire to visit because of the lackluster vegan menu and ESPECIALLY because of the sliced and cubed and unmelted vegan cheese pictures on the happy cow app. Put some effort into your vegan/plant based menu items - we matter - especially when we're spending $32+ for lunch of our hard earned money to eat local and support small business.
Miles, our server, gets 5-stars! He was incredible in every way possible - personable, knowledgeable, friendly and went above and beyond for all his tables not just ours. He is the savior of the day. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stopped in quickly to get lunch and oh my! What a fantastic place! It is not huge but it packs a punch! It is very modern and cute as the name implies, service was very fast and pleasant. Server obliged me with a vegan menu and answered questions before I decided on the Mexibowl. This meal was absolutely delicious, I was very full and enjoyed the mix of flavors and textures— it is also an attractive dish! It was enough for me for two meals easily. Could not be more thrilled and will be back! It was so quick yet so well done! Truly impressed! They have a large menu and offer vegan and gluten free accommodations I believe. The regular menu had plenty to offer and they do specials! If you like bowls or enjoy fresh flavorful food stop in it is fine in or take out.

Stopped in for lunch with my bestie today and overall had a pleasant experience. We started with the three-dip appetizer. The flavors were fine but a bit basic — the cheese dip tasted good but was a little runny, the salsa reminded me of Pace Picante, and the guac was the standout of the trio.
For mains, my friend ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, which was really good and absolutely huge. It came with homemade kettle chips that were perfectly crunchy. I went with the Greek Bowl, which overall was tasty, but there were a lot of olives and they were super salty — when you’re already salty, you don’t need more salt 😅 (kidding!). I do wish they offered a “build-your-own” bowl option. None of the bowls start off vegetarian, even though they easily could be with a simple swap. Thankfully they let me substitute the chicken for an egg (which came first? 🤭), so that was appreciated.
Service was kind and attentive. Portions are generous, which helps justify the slightly higher prices. The interior is cute and modern, though it was a bit chilly inside during our visit.
All in all, a good spot for lunch with tasty options, big servings, friendly service, and room for a few small tweaks. Would return!

Came here last night and was utterly disappointed. We did get seated quickly but the waiter was nothing short of terrible. He seemed annoyed at us for needing more time to decide what we wanted and once we did the food took an extremely long time to get. When he went to refill our waters he spilled water all over the table and after taking a few bites of my food I noticed water had gotten into my bowl as there was cold water in the bottom of it. I tried to tell him that when he came by at one point he obviously didn’t really care about our experience and he ignored me and walked away.

1st timer. Pleasantly pleased. Service a little slow for lunch but likely the average customer isn't stopping in on lunch break but rather there for a luncheon date.

Pleasant atmosphere, relaxing music, clean, elegant, and pretty quiet. Prompt service, pleasant, professional, and polite waiters. High-quality and nutritious options, allowing you to choose either a vegan option or add the protein of your choice, with good presentation. International flavors and non-alcoholic beverage options. Nice, clean, elegant bathrooms. Enough parking.
Seasonal menu! The figgy spritz was delicious, refreshing and perfect for fall. The poblano chicken is amazing, street corn dip is awesome. Of course, you can never go wrong with the bam bam shrimp tacos. Service was excellent!

The food looked grate, but the flavor wasn't. I ordered the Thai bowl. The sesame oil over powered everything else. Which made everything taste like burnt sesame. I would go there again to try a difference dish.
