Linden Organic

"I can't give this place 5 stars because the food is definitely not cheap, so eating here isn't really possible for me very often, but the one time I did go here it was very memorable, both because the folks were very nice and because they had such a great selection. I liked how there were lots of sweets in the case and items you could order on the menu as well. A good blend of sweet and savory vegan food, worth the trip but not sure if it's completely worth the price. Would also like to see more seating here, because it felt a little crammed."

"5 stars for being vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. But sadly, the rest didn’t live up. Very pretty, photogenic food, but we were super bummed with the rest. My açaí bowl was large and beautiful, but had chunks of ice in it and tasted watered down. The crunchy wafers were very hard, and i just couldn’t figure out how to approach eating it. Had to eat the toppings separately and still a bunch landed in my lap. Based on the flavor and texture, I’m guessing the protein powder I ordered didn’t get added. All in all, $18.50 for this was not worth it. The spring roll was 90% lettuce. Very watery dressing, so hard to use as a dip. Hard rice paper, probably from sitting in the cooler a while. Unable to get the Moroccan Salad since most everything is premade and available in the cooler, so can’t be modified. The tuna sandwich was beautiful but incredibly messy and hard to eat with very thin bread that didn’t hold together. Also mostly lettuce. So not filling. Didn’t have zucchini, and asked for extra “tuna” instead but doesn’t look like that happened. Avocado toast was pretty and piled with avo. Again very thin bread made it hard to eat. But this was probably the one item that was more substantial (no lettuce or ice fillers.) That said, it still wasn’t a meal, so at $16 was a bit lacking. I also found it weird that ingredients weren’t listed on things. None of the packaged foods, or on baked goods in the display case. Chose not to get any since asking questions for every item felt like a lot. Tiny indoor space with limited seating. No outdoor seats. Sadly, I won’t be back. Not worth the value:cost:flavor ratios. But, I won’t ever give less than 5 stars to a vegan place, in support of offering plant based foods! However, I think non-vegans would be very disappointed here and would leave hungry."

"I have been following Linden Organics Instagram for a while, just pining to visit. I live over two hours away up north, so when I was in town I made it part of my itinerary to finally visit. I have Celiac disease and try to eat relatively healthy- finding celiac safe gluten free food out and about can be challenging. The concept of this place is awesome. Organic. Gluten Free. Vegan. Plus beautiful presentation and branding. I gave it a rating of 2 stars because the woman working was friendly and concept is great, but the food I ordered was very disappointing, 1/5. I purchased the spring rolls for $9 + tip. The website states the ingredients are “ spring lettuce, basil, mint, cilantro, bell pepper, cucumber, tofu, wrapped in rice paper, and served with peanut sauce”. Sounds amazing! But my spring rolls had no cucumber and the tiniest single slice of bell pepper and a miniature slice of tofu. I wish I were exaggerating, but it was literally just biting into rice wrapped spring mix. I attached a photo. When you get a spring roll you expect slivers of bell pepper, cucumber, tofu being a bit more substantial. The peanut sauce was thing but had a good flavor profile. Overall, disappointed. I waited so long to visit and was so excited. Would not recommend. I had to grab a second lunch somewhere else because I just couldn’t stomach eating rice wrapped greens"

"The waffles were good! They were really filling! And they actually tasted good! They didn’t hurt my stomach after I ate them, which is really saying something because I know it’s really hard to make vegan waffles! And I was surprised that it came with so much extra fruit! It was $16, but I think it was well worth it! Also, I decided to try their vegan donuts! To be honest, they don’t taste that good. But I know it’s really, really hard to make vegan donuts! Actually, you can barely find any places that make vegan donuts because they’re so difficult to make! I only tasted one other vegan donut from a different restaurant, and it tasted like they put heavy sugar inside of the donuts, which was extremely unhealthy. This one has a little bit of sugar… You can kind of taste it, but it’s not extreme! But, it just doesn’t really taste that good to me. But again, you know, it’s extremely hard to make vegan donuts, at least from what I’m seeing around! Which is why places don’t make vegan donuts! But nevertheless, the main thing was the waffles! The waffles tasted good! The waffles tasted really good! I wish this place was closer to my house because I would go here all the time when I run out of food to eat! But this place is 50 minutes away from my house, so I’m only going to come here a few other times. But yeah, this place is really good! At least their waffles are! P.S. The waffles are $16 & the donuts are $6 each! But again! The waffles are really what I came for! They are really good and filling!"

"I've been here twice, the customer service is always great, everyone is very kind. I love the things they sell/ gift shop area. As for the food & drinks, I have overall not been satisfied. I want to support so bad because the food quality (organic, whole foods, ect.) is everything. But the flavor just doesn't deliver in my opinion. The food LOOKS beautiful, the branding is gorgeous, but I ended up throwing out all of the pastries because the taste wasn't even tolerable to me the last time I went. I have had the salted date slice and enjoyed that in the past. But it doesn't encourage me to continue to try things when I spend a good amount of money and am dissatisfied/ end up wasting. The chocolate maca bowl was very diluted, as if a bunch of ice was added to make it thicker (ive worked at smoothie places and know that can happen) but for the price I do expect it to be concentrated with the ingredients flavors that are listed, maybe stricter recipes could be useful because thats easily human error. I've had the cherry smoothie in the past and that was good! But I do love and value what they sell here in theory. Judging from the other reviews it maybe varies depending on the day? Because alot of people seem very satisfied. I'll try them once more, I'll have to try some juices and salads. Whatever plant based whip cream they use is also really good!"
