"If you're looking for an amazing vegan brunch or lunch spot in southern california, you can't go wrong with this place! While it's a shame that they aren't open for dinner, their delicious brunch/lunch items more than make up for it. I've been here countless times and each time I've tried something different, I've been blown away. From the french toast to the pancakes, waffles, BLT sandwiches and benaign dessert, everything is top notch. It's honestly hard to pick a favorite dish! While the prices are on the high side, I believe it's worth it especially for those with dietary restrictions. I do hope they lower their prices a bit but the quality of the food makes it worth the cost. Overall, I highly recommend and I know I'll be back again and again just like I have been for so long."

"The real star of the meal was the singular pancake we ordered (not pictured). It had the slightest crisp on the outside and was pillowy on the inside, with the right balance of savory and sweet. I'd do a full stack next time and I'm not typically a pancake person."

"One one the best fried “chicken” sandwiches I’ve had, vegan or otherwise. The bun was nicely toasted, the sauce was on point, even the salad was stand-out—perfectly dressed. Don’t hesitate to try this place, you won’t be disappointed."

"Love hitting up this place whenever I'm in Long Beach. The atmosphere is great, the food excellent, and it is totally worth the wait if you're there on weekends. Try the Chicken and French Toast and the Beignets!"

"Lovely restaurant to go with friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating. And reservations are required for the weekend. Very friendly and understanding staff. I had an allergy issue and they handled it beautifully and with a lot of grace. It was also a friend's birthday and they brought a little treat out for them unprompted which was to our delight and so nice of them. I went with two friends who are not vegan and they loved the food. They also raved about the coffee. The only thing I got a photo of was the fried pickles and that was after we already grabbed some. (highly recommend them too!)"
