The best vegan soul food in Philly. I've seen this place grow over the years, but one thing has always been consistent; the amazing food and staff. Don't forget to check out the courtyard out back, and definitely don't miss the dessert case!

I really do like this place, they have good food and a nice dining area. I just wish their customer service would get better. The cashier was so rude and dismissive to me today. You guys need to hire more people that will actually like their job.
