Great breakfast/ brunch spot! I got the Euripedes, and subbed the tofu for eggs, my husband had the lemon poppyseed waffle. I also got the seasonal berry smoothie. Everything was delicious, filling, and fresh. The cafe is just the kind of funky neighborhood spot that I love. Service was friendly.Everything on the menu looked great so I'll be back soon to try more!

Love the ambiance of the place. It has a pretty chill vibe to it, showcasing art from a few local artists. The staff were very friendly, cheerful and accommodating. The service is great and the food was beyond our expectation.Loved the tempeh here. It's crisp on the outside and smooth inside. I am not a huge fan of tofu as it is more on the chewy side but i liked the tofu here.The green sauce is great and the sour cream was fresh. This is a vegetarian restaurant (egg included) and several of the items can be made vegan or dairy free upon request.Definitely coming back again here !

Went on a Sunday morning around 10am and it was packed! There was a long line at the front but we were luckily able to sit at the bar with no wait. Overall, it's definitely a diner vibe. Food was hearty but overly salty and my clothes smelled like grease when I got home. It's a good size for the price and the coffee is...coffee. Would be great way to cure a hangover. At least there's a decent amount of vegan options!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon during brunch. I'm a carnivore so coming here I was a bit nervous but I left absolutely satisfied.I had the veggie & tofu breakfast platter. FANTASTIC. Nothing needed additional hot sauce, ketchup etc. it was cooked to literally perfection. Bathrooms are super accessible, clean and have changing stations (nice classic wood ones) Something I noticed was that every single staff member, even the dishwasher was smiling. The people who work here, seem so happy to be here and it's reflected in the food. I will be back. Best breakfast I've had in ages.

I really loved this place! Came in on a Sunday mid-day and they were using the brunch only menu. Worked out fine as they have a variety of selections. There are a lot of delicious looking egg dishes but I opted for the granola and added on the banana and blueberries. Also got a delicious chai style tea. The service was great and we didn't have to wait ling for the food or the table. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a fair amount of space so it wasn't too loud inside. I imagine parking might be challenging at times but I found a spot one block over right away. Great casual but cute spot to meet a friend or take a date.

I have eyed this place for years... Been very excited to try it, and finally got to the other day. Holy crap, I think this place takes the cake for the worst meal I've ever spent money on. A gluten-free option for sandwiches and burgers is great, but why have it be cornbread that doesn't hold up? You literally cannot pick up the burger because the cornbread crumbles into 1 million pieces turning into a soggy weird mess. The burger itself wasn't too bad albeit over salted... Soup on the side had the weirdest confusing flavor but not enough salt. Overall a mess of a meal for an expensive price tag. I would give more grace if the burger wasn't nearly $20 without even including a side.

I ordered The Deluxe, and I loved!! If you're into sour cream, guac, red/green sauce (I asked for both), cheese.. you'll love this! Flavors melded altogether, and it was so so good. You can choose for either black beans or home fries, and I asked for both too. Home fries were nicely seasoned. I wasn't able to finish my whole plate, so they definitely give a good portion!Service was great. Staff was attentive and nice.I came in on a Saturday morning, and it wasn't busy at all. Definitely a great find in Roosevelt, if you're looking for a delicious, filling meal and to get seated right away. Great ambiance. I would come back!

I use to lovr this restaurant. Couldn't wait to have the blushing salad. They have changed the lemon tahini dressing. It doesn't taste the same or lemony. You change long time recipes, you loose customers. Last time I was there, I thought it was me. I took my husband this time. He wanted to take home two bottles. I said one. We are both so glad we didn't invest more. Will I go back. Questionable Better off raising your prices, but keep the recipes that made your restaurant. Add new stuff.
