Lived in Madison for 3 years, ate here roughly weekly. Delicious. Favorites were the Madison Philly and buffalo wings but lots of good options. They use dairy, but everything is base vegan and its easy to avoid the dairy.

Everything I've tried there has been great. My partner and I split the Philly Cheese Steak and Bahn Mi last time we were there and both were excellent.

Cozy little vegan restaurant in a super cool part of Madison. Been here a few times and the staff are always friendly and the food is top notch. If the vegan brisket is the special, buy it and thank me later. 😃

Great spot! I'm not vegan/vegetarian, but this still remains one of my favorite spots due its quality, and overall health-focused menu. Pictured is the Atwood Bowl (added tofu for extra protein.)

This place has the vibes of all the best dive bars combined, loved it! Staff were so friendly and made sure we enjoyed our meal. Food was so dang good too! Had the Madison Philly and WOW, best Philly I've had. This is a must try if you're in Madison, even if you're not vegan! Check it!

I’d like to come back again and again! I want to try everything on their menu and reorder the meal we had! The menu is fully vegan and has the option to add dairy.

So delicious!! I was visiting the area and was hesitant because I thought it was mostly vegetarian and not really vegan but the opposite is true; everything is vegan on the menu and can be made wi the dairy if requested. I’d come back time and time again to have what we ordered and to try everything else on their menu! The chocolate lava cake was perfection! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-16

The Bahn Mi is so delicious. Would definitely recommend trying it... the tofu was cooked well & the vegetables were nicely pickled. Tasty garlic aioli on it.

We went on a Saturday for lunch and there was a 15 minute wait. Food took a little bit to come out, but that was alright with us because it was super tasty! I will certainly be returning to try more of their food :-)

Late-adoption lactose intolerant here. Was thankful to find so much comfort food on one menu that I could safely ingest. Finding vegan cheesecake was heavenly.
