"Great cafe and coffee shop with lovely decor, lots of seating. Good size menu with lots of options and some unique combinations that stood out. I loved the blueberry corn pancake and the oatmeal cappuccino was a nice twist on a classic."
"This was an overwhelmingly positive experience!!! Sooooo many options to choose from. They have pastries, breakfast & lunch items, desserts, along lovely cocktails and coffee beverages. I loved that there were so many vegan AND gluten free options for me. I didn’t feel limited at all. The reviews do not lie. Really great food. I would suggest the vegan blueberry pancake & the regular French toast my friend got and loved it. The chai lattes were delicious. The artwork throughout the restaurant was delightful to see. Really nice touch to the aesthetics. The place is very large which is great because it stayed busy from the time we got there until we left. There’s an option for you to do a self service & eat outside, grab & go or dine in. Really great spot to eat and hang out at."
"Delicious food! Good service, nice cafe atmosphere. The perfect place for dietary restrictions such as vegan or gluten free! I try to eat more plant based and so I've tried many of their vegan options and they are all really good and worth a try. In the photos shown I have the plant quesadilla which has a very clean, fresh taste. The fries are so good with the garlic aioli! And a vegan hot chocolate!? So good, warm, satisfying and chocolaty, perfect for the cold weather. The chicken wild rice soup (which my boyfriend got) was not as creamy as we like it. Definitely a more brothy chicken wild rice. All that food for about 40 dollars! Not too shabby. Not pictured but they also have really tasty vegan pastries! I recommend the chocolate berry tart! Always very good."
"Went here for brunch and it was good! Service got the rating it did, because it wasn’t clear when we got in to to the restaurant whether to seat ourselves or to wait. Stood in a line for some time, before someone came and sat us and we didn’t need to be in that line. There were some other couples confused as well. During the meal the service was okay."
"1 word - AMAZING. Great food selection (offers dietary restriction options - vegetarian/vegan/gluten free), huge drink selection, and amazing baked goodies. A great place to bring a date or brunch with your friends, and even family! Parking is very limited and competitive, so come early!"
