This place is so good. Everything I have had here is delicious. Love the brunch wrap supreme and the basic b waffle. Wife loves the hashtastic with tofu and the berries and crème waffle. Delicious stuff. Busy on the weekend so go mid week like us.

A cute small hole-not-so-hole in the wall cafe. This is our first time here We arrived shortly before noon-ish (1100), so the restaurant was a tad empty. There is only street parking, so finding that was no problem. Our server was friendly, and answered all of our questions we had. I ordered the chorizo burrito and the wife ordered the chik'n'waffles. My wife was very impressed and enjoyed the gravy. The burrito was packed and so was my belly after eating it. Overall, the food and our experience was great.

This place! I hadn't eaten here in a couple of years and it's still just as incredible as always. Very friendly staff and we'll look at the pics of the berry waffle! Vegan foodgasm

I bring own of town guests here for brunch on the regular and keep coming back because it's so good. Vegan by default, chicken eggs and dairy cheese available on request. Generous portions, damn fine coffee, and I love the rotating kombuchas on tap. Be warned the the waffles are larger than your head and very dense/filling so great for sharing! Be prepared to wait on weekends. Pro tip: the garden store next door is a great place to browse while waiting for your number to come up :)

i normally come here with friends and we all sit in a booth enjoying what we ordered but also looking at the plates to our left and our right wondering if we should have gotten that or that, because there really is no wrong choice on the entire menu. the coffee is like if a computer read the dictionary definition of coffee and then synthesized it: you taste it and think yes that is exactly what coffee is. its not bitter, its not cold, it has no additional flavors, it goes down easy black or with almond milk (or any of those other milks), it is exactly what diner coffee should be. its a great place to come with a group, but i actually find it almost more enjoyable to show up alone and treat yourself to breakfast with a couple add-ons while watching the world disintegrate in real time on your phone. something about sausage gravy and tofu scramble really keeps the horrors at bay. whatever you order, add a chik'n patty.

I'm not vegan, or vegetarian, but what matters in any restaurant is the yumminess. And these folks do a good job. Wonderful cinnamon roll and no idea it was vegan. Had the feast waffle, and the buckwheat a little dense and dry--helped by having some hash browns inside the waffle, along with a little sausage & alleged vegan cheese. the gravy is excellent. they have quite a broad menu, and I'll be back to try something else--maybe biscuits and gravy or mac and cheese. And the place has such a friendly, homey feel, thanks in large part to the service. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy off the griddle!

Ordered the full mess and grapefruit mimosa. The kitchen staff are quick. It took less than 10 minutes for our food to come out fresh. The full mess was loaded with gravy on top of hash brow, but I felt like it made the hash brow soggy which was disappointed. The biscuit was yummy. Not dry. The restaurant was super busy on a Sunday brunch, but the playlist was rad. Attentive staff.

I haven't been to many vegan brunch spots, but if you are craving a heavy, southern-style/American breakfast, this may be the perfect spot for you. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the inside is very cute and gives off the vibe of a Southern home. Their menu is pretty vast, with both sweet and savory options. They have items ranging from waffles, mac n' cheese, burritos, wraps, all with different protein options. I saw someone sitting near me and their wrap so amazing, so I ordered one for myself too. Their food is SO good, and very flavorful. Overall though, it wouldn't be my favorite brunch place as their items tend to be really heavy for a first meal (LOTS of protein, sauce, big portions)--but! that is something totally up to my own preference. The food is amazing and I think it gives vegans (and non-vegans) a great choice!
