Oh Lindsey, you've done it again! I was gonna wait till I got to work to eat my omelet but I just couldn't resist, I practically inhaled it in my car. So fresh, so tasty, yummy crunchy veggies inside the perfect fluffy egg. Thank you for being here for us and providing QUALITY, FANTASTIC food. ♥️

What a gem to find! I happen to know the owner and spoke with her about their processes so was very excited to see how they prioritize the quality of ingredients. Quality always leads to better taste in my experience. With vegan, gluten free options this is even more important so I am excited for their continued success in the community!

A vegan restaurant with quite a few options. I am not vegan so this was something different for me. I enjoyed my French toast. Also has a nice selection of cold bottled drinks. An interesting atmosphere with some murals on the wall and local art for sale.

Had an access issue with my service dog. The owner was uneducated in Ada federal law. I assumed that the owner was uneducated due to the fact that she asked me an illegal question. The owner asked for paperwork/registration or documentation under Ada federal law it is illegal to ask this question. I corrected her on it and she was very understanding and then proceeded to ask me the correct questions allowed under Ada law. The main issue we were having is that I did not have my dog in a vest. Service dogs are not required to wear any gear and the owner was just extremely concerned about it. I tried to explain and educate but the conversation was shut down by the owner. The owner was very nice about the whole conversation and situation it was just not the most pleasant conversation. I would not recommend coming to this restaurant if you are a disabled individual.
