First time here, wanted some good soup for dinner. Seat yourself anywhere. Huge place. Staff is friendly, but used to regulars. They are not just vegetarian, as we assumed for the longest time (20 years, sorry...) Tried the seasonal club called the Dave Beard gets spicy. Comes with mini cup of pasta salad and wedge of cantaloupe. Sando was good, not over toasted, didn't taste the garlic in the bread, though. Also ordered a cup of tortilla soup on the side. A little salty, but it was nice and chunky with veg and chicken. Tortilla (chips) on the side.Wife got the cookie leekie chicken soup. Think clam chowder, but with chicken. It comes with a slice of squaw bread and 2 pats of butter. Will try them again, along with their cocktails and coffee specialty drinks. If we're pokemoning in the area, I'm going to get a smoothie!

I met a friend for lunch here on a weekday at noon. It's sort of hidden and, although it doesn't have its own parking lot, I had no problem finding street parking. It's an older restaurant with several rooms and a patio. You seat yourself and, when you're finished eating, you pay at the booth near the front door. Whimsical paintings and decor cover the walls and one room has a shelf that encircles the room with vintage coffee pots. We sat in a booth and ordered - for 54 cents (one cent for every year they've been open) - a small dish of chips and dip. For lunch, after looking over the massive menu, I decided on a chicken salad sandwich which they call "The Walnut That Kissed The Chicken". It has walnuts, mayo, and celery in the chicken salad mix along with lettuce, and tomato on top. It was huge! It was delicous!I had an Arnold Palmer to drink which was made perfectly. I was too full for dessert but got a cookie to take home. They had several to choose from and I decided on a seasonal one: pumpkin. This cookie was enormous, the size you normally get at those gourmet cookie shops (maybe bigger!). The pumpkin spice flavor was mild while a maple glaze sweetened it up.Our server was wonderful and the food was yummy but I especially loved the goofy atmosphere of the place.

Eclectic decor. Homey (tea pot collection along the ceiling shelf) and rutabega art on the walls.Nachos were first rate.The black bean chili a little bland.The "tried and trues" were solid but the more "adventurous" entrees seemed a bit out of their depth. Service attentive but not overwhelming.Reasonable prices.

Nice good, nice staff, eclectic decor. Would go back and try and other bits and bobs as the menu is large. $20 got me my combo lunch plate, so not the cheapest but the portions are large.

Late review from end of May. I'm having a serious craving for a big bowl of the cockie leeky soup. Warm, potato and leek chowder style soup, I had no idea what to expect and it was so darn good! Food is incredibly fresh and simple. The spinach and artichoke dip had a zesty bite, possibly pickled green peppers in there somewhere? It was a nice twist on a familiar appetizer. Half sandwich and cup of soup was plenty. They also had a flavored iced tea which was very good in an Arnold Palmer. The server even offered a cup to go, which was a delightful treat for the warm day that it was. Hubs ordered a bowl of chili on the side and it tasted hearty and healthy. I believe he got the black bean chili. Lovely spot to stop in. The decor is fun, the service kind, and the food is excellent.

The ambiance of this place is really what sets them apart from others. A very homey setting with very cute decor. The food was good but not amazing. Honestly how fancy can you get with soup, salad, and sandwiches? Ordered take out but the staff was friendly and quick :)

I've been coming here on and off for 20 years, mostly because friends suggest it and it has veggie options. But never do I crave it. The food isn't as flavorful as I would like. The last time I went, my enchiladas had two slices of unripe tomatoes on top. Also there was a random blob of mashed potatoes in it. The enchilada sauce was more of a thick smear. It was just weird. And wayyyyy too much cheese. My husbands chicken pasta was too salty. And my mom quinoa bowl was soupy. The salads here are pretty decent though. Just feel like there are better places to go.

Adorable! I can only comment on service and desserts as we were there briefly. First of all, the decor is adorable, super cozy and family friendly. My father in law wanted chocolate, so I googled and found this place nearby. I brought him chocolate ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, and a chocolate fudge brownie. No, he did not have them all at the same time ;) he gobbled the ice cream and we put away the fudge for another time. The cookie was a bit hard and he was only able to eat a quarter of it. The service was fast and they were ever nice. We will be back. So great to have chocolate nearby!

While I typically come here I've never had a issue in the past with service here but today was different, our server came to our table only twice, to take our order and to give us our food, never did we get a refill nor asked us if everything was ok. Which is disappointing that tables around us got serviced just fine. I understand it's seat yourself here, but where's the service at? not sure I'll be coming back which is a bummer. This was one of my favorite spots.

Good if ur used to eating bland food. I have given it multiple tries and its bad every time. Last time I got an egg sandwich and there was no mayo so I informed the waitress and she said there isnt supposed to be but it was written on the menu so I showed her and she rolled her eyes and got the mayo. Menu is an idiotic take at vegetarian food with a lot of the dishes having just raw vegetables.
