"Not churchy at all - great food!"   My Rating
7 ochibawolf	Posted on: Sunday, June 07, 2009
	Review: As an atheist, I wasn't thrilled about going to eat inside a church. But WOW this place is worth it. First off, it's hard to find if you don't live in KC. If you go in the front entrance, head down a flight of stairs and wa-la! There is Eden alley. A true Eden within a church. I love the atmosphere! The food my fiance and I ordered was fantastic. The hummus is to die for. As vegans, this place had a great menu that told you exactly what is vegan and what isn't and almost all menu items can be made vegan, or have vegan substitute. They even have cashew cheeze! Despite all the other reviews, if you in town, go check out this place - and don't forget to order a vegan dessert! (They have a GREAT vegan chocolate and peanut butter cake =D)   Pros: Vegan desserts * organic and local * easy to identify what's vegan on menu Cons: located in a church * hard to find if first time visiting * small hot tea pots

"One dish is never enough"   My Rating
1 pattydebel lis	Posted on: Tuesday, July 15, 2008
	Review: Prices here are a little high, but the portions make it worth it. Whenever we go, we can never choose one dish. We always have to choose their "can't decide-pick three" option. I have had/tasted the tamales, the lasagna, the sweet potato burritos, the soup, the sandwiches. I've yet to be disappointed. There are so many offerings I want to try, I can't pick one thing.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Its in a Church???"   My Rating
21 vegantrave ler	Posted on: Saturday, January 26, 2008
	Review: Well at least they are trying:) I liked the chocolate waffle and mash potatoes. It did look like they had some good deserts. But I must say I was just here for breakfast. Why I was eating mash potatoes for breakfast I don't remember, I'm just a sheeptard anyway. So I'm guessing its better for dinner. Basically, if you live in KC go here if you don't, don't travel 4 hours or more to get here.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Not that great for vegans"   My Rating
304 gr8vegan	Posted on: Saturday, November 10, 2007
	Review: I appreciate what they are trying to do, but I should have known when it was inside a church it wouldn't be up to my par. The menu is not that expansive. (plenty of eggs for you chicken killers) The food is so so. I really hate to be hard on any place that has vegan on the menu. The staff is nice, but its really not worth the visit. I only took a few bites of my brunch and opted to consume my calories elsewhere. It did look like they had a nice selection of vegan desserts. Give them a shot if you're an adventurous vegan and add another review.   Pros: some vegan food * vegan desserts * nice staff Cons: bland food * smell * eggs galore

There's a completely separate entrance, the servers do no preach to you, and the only place where there is anything spiritual is in the bookstore. But, even then, they have multiple religions and spiritualities represented in there as well as things that have NOTHING to do with religion. I think you might be over-sensitive.. response by pattydebellis - report abuse -

"Great, filling food."   My Rating
6 PuppyGirl	Posted on: Sunday, October 07, 2007
	Review: I visit Eden Alley often and enjoy it every time. I am surprised by the reviewer below that said you would need 5 entrees to feel full, because neither me nor my husband can typically finish one entree. The serving sizes are generous and you can order 1/2 sizes (which I usually do because I love their salads so much). I have not seen chicken on the menu in a very long time and have not noticed fish for quite some time, either. I go there knowing that I have my pick of the menu, unlike most other places in KC (or elsewhere). I've been to veg restaurants in other areas of the nation and I think Eden Alley is at the top of the list for great veg food. The only thing that I have ever felt was not great about the place was the ambiance (they are in the basement of the Unity church), but they have recently redecorated and it's really given the place a lift.   Pros: Portion sizes * Flavorful food * Friendly service Cons: * *
