Wow! Wow! Wow! Firstly, I am NOT a vegan. My experience with vegan foods has left me with bad taste in my mouth (pun intended)... but this place - it?s worth a special trip! It was recommended to me by Sofia at Anima Mundi Herbals (Noble St.). When she said?vegan? I almost didn?t finish listening but a voice inside said ?try again? and I am so glad I did! The smells when I walked inwere intoxicating and unlike any other restaurant. I had a hard time choosing but ended up ordering the Baja Oyster Tacos withb?nut squash soup as the side and a large Clean Green juice?oh, and a pumpkin donut to go. The flavors were incredible! Layeredand nuanced like a fine wine. The crisp and crunch of the fried oyster mushrooms, as well as the juicy tenderness inside was sodelectably satisfying. I probably looked like a caveman eating his first meal but I didn?t care. It was definitely one of thebest meals I?ve have anywhere in a very very long time, and being a foodie, I don?t say that often. The green juice wasperfectly balanced, clean, and oh so delicious! Not too bitter, not too sweet, just right. The cafe itself has a cozy feel withnook-like sitting areas for groups in the front windows, plants and artwork throughout. I forgot the name of the girl who waitedon me (agh! sorry!) but she was delightful and friendly, and super helpful! She told me they have a buffet every day and thetheme of the food changes daily. This place is for sure a go-back for me, a destination spot for food rather than anI?m-in-the-area stop. It is so worth the trip! Take that from a non-vegan! (Yes, the pumpkin donut! I?m salivating typing aboutits soft, moist, perfect balance of sweet and pumpkin. Agh! I have to go back!) Read more

For $36 I got what is pictured. The burrito is the size of half a regular burrito. Calufilower bites $13 for 6 pieces... I... ordered through uber eats with tip it cost over $51 but seems like not worth ordering from here being how over priced it. Mindyou the food has no meat. Its just vegetables and tofu how can it cost more then a non-veg meal? Read more

I'm not an idealistic optimist ? I don't hand out 5 star reviews indiscriminately and unceasingly. But this place was fantastic!... I could hardly believe how helpful and friendly the cashier/front receptionist was. Everything from arrangement to service istop-notch (and if you're a vegan ? look no further for a beautiful date-night venue!) Read more

Cozy warm cheery vegan restaurant. They have two window round tables with seating on cushions. A very nice touch. Rest of tables... are the usual chair seating. Had the burrito bowl which was delicious and had saitan and beans (good amounts of protein).There's a buffet option and also menu. They serve tea in a pot. Also a very nice touch. Read more

The lunch buffet here was fantastic. Excellent atmosphere and delicious food. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. ... Definitely have to go back. More places should do a vegan buffet like this. Read more

Not vegan, but enjoy trying vegan options. We got the cauliflower bites, beet burger, Baja oyster tacos, mac and cheese, green... curry, and corn muffins. Stand outs were the Baja oyster tacos, green curry and corn muffins - so, so good. The mac and cheesedidn?t quite hit the spot for me. Excited to come back and try more of the menu! Read more

On Mother?s Day I took my mom, dad, sister, wife, and kids here for dinner. My parents an sister are not into vegan food. They... LOVED IT. My sister has some interesting allergies that make vegan food tricky and she was able to order food here and lovedwhat she had. My kids loved the variety. Portions are great sizes. Seating for large parties is available due to the type ofseething they have inside. Outdoor seating is more for small parties. My family and I love this place and will be coming hereagain soon.

Pretty darn delightful. We ate in (hooray!) And the food was quite tasty. It actually tasted like non-vegan fast casual food.... Not super elevated in terms of refinement but pretty good prices and nice staff. I would be happy to go back for a bite. Read more
