Review: A family group of us went here for breakfast and it turned out great. There was no wait and we were able to please vegans and non-vegans and gluten-free eaters. Everyone was satisfied. It's a bit casual (you order at the counter), but I had a good tofu scramble plate and the conventional eaters enjoyed pancakes and breakfast burritos. I was really surprised I hadn't heard more about this place as everything was tasty and fresh. It is pretty new, so maybe growing pains explain the previous review.

 
Pros: Not crowded * good breakfast options * casual
Cons: not a lot besides breakfast * counter service *

Review: This place has really fast internet service & comfy couch seating. The ambiance is polished & nice. They have stevia, agave, rice milk, soy milk & honey all out on the bar. I really appreciate the fact that they use biodegradable corn to go utensils & have an extensive composting & recycling area BUT the food sucks. I tried & tried & tried to eat here. The worst being biscuits & gravy. The gravy is a really gross salty brown shitake gravy(almost tastes like chinese food sauce) & there faux sausage tastes like I don't even know what. Yuck. When I ordered slaw on the side it seemed like old slaw that had been in the fridge atleast overnight. I ordered egg & cheese biscuits repeatedly & every time it was something different. Like almost no cheese or sooooo dry & repeatedly over salted eggs. Some how they managed to ruined sauteed swiss chard. I never had one thing for breakfast good here so I gave up. Almost everything is organic & local. There smoothies are good. The baked goods looked good. The coffee was fine.
 
Pros: organic & local * earth friendly operation * great central downtown location
Cons: food * sorry but the FOOOOD * cranky staff
