I have tried this establishment twice. The first time I did not enjoy my food but figured it may have been an off day since the other reviews are rated pretty high. I gave it another try but ordered my food to go this time around. I ordered the Chumichurri Seitan, Lion's Mane Orange Bites with Coconut Rice, and the Banana Souffle with vanilla ice cream. The Seitan wasn't good at all, the texture was rubbery and appeared over cooked and it was pretty tasteless. The Lion's Mane was ok. The rice was flavorful but the mushrooms could've been more crispy and less soggy and more sauce could've been added. The Souffle was really good. My only complaint is the ice cream was priced a bit high for what you get. It was a $6 additional fee for ice cream and I received one small scoop. I'm not sure if I'd try this place again as both times, the food wasn't that great but hopefully the owner and chef take the feedback constructively to better their business and customer's experience, as we definitely need more successful vegan restaurants in this area.

Great place for date night or just a chill meal. The service here is great and the food is awesome. Been here multiple times with my wife and we've brought our children before and like it as well. Highly recommend!

Our favorite breakfast/brunch spot! My savory pick is the Just Egg + ham on an everything bagel 🥯 and my sweet pick is the blueberry pancakes 🥞! Wonderful staff and very cozy ambiance. Definitely worth it!

Such an incredible meal. Everything was to die for. The seitan, the roasted cauliflower, the lentil salad, the banana souffle with the cashew ice cream, I genuinely can't wait to go back 😍

Took our mother for her birthday. The food was incredible and the owner was a delight! She took tremendous care of us. I am not vegan at all but enjoyed every single item. Would definitely come again. I could drink the cucumber & cilantro sauce.

I don't know why Google removed my previous review and pictures but this is the 2nd time coming here. Both times were excellent. Food is prepared with care! You can tell that Nathaly, the owner, loves what she does. I recommend the fried oyster mushroom appetizer which I've had twice now. Everything on the menu is health conscious but does not taste like it. Will be coming back to try other items on the menu next time. The drinks are fantastic too! Lots of unique drink options.
