Good food!!

Sandwiches and fries are good!! I often am craving the vegan poutine!!! I gues you need to reserve online to eat inside because it’s small and gets busy. But getting food to go is always good. Enjoyed everything !

Well worth five stars

They make the best damn poutine in all of Detroit metro, I always get their poutine and it’s so good. Their packaging for carry out is also super eco friendly and I adore that they’re willing to take that extra step.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Always friendly staff, Eco friendly bags and silverware!!

Great!

Really delicious food, lots of clearly marked vegan options, and staff is very knowledgeable about vegan stuff and even told me that they have vegan butter for the toast before I asked. Highly recommend the tofu scramble, ask for it with veggies!

Great spot to linger

Good food with a lot of vegan options. Everything was clearly marked and staff is knowledgeable. Think of it as a more upscale version of cafe/diner food, with very fresh ingredients. They also had a few vegan pastries!

This place encourages lingering with a book, laptop, or over conversation. It has a great atmosphere so definitely take your time, eat slowly, and enjoy.

Very vegan friendly

Plenty of vegan options, with sweet and savory for breakfast. Staff was knowledgeable about vegan options, I didn't need to ask for vegan butter.

Our food was mixed. The vegan BSL poutine was excellent, the vegan traditional breakfast was okay. The tofu scramble was dry and had very little flavor. The tempeh was slightly bitter.

Cons: Small place, can have a wait.

Solid vegan options

We ate here twice. I had the veggie burger off the lunch menu as well as the pancakes off the brunch menu. I had poutine both times- yum!

Both times it was rather crowded. The second time they quoted us a wait time of 15 minutes, but it didn't take anywhere near that long. We were there in cold weather, but it appears they have additional outdoor seating for nice weather.

Pros: Good food

Great little place!

I got the big vegan breakfast with tofu scramble, tempeh bacon, and potatoes - it was really delicious! They also have vegan milks for your coffee and some vegan desserts. The carrot cake cupcakes were great, especially the icing on them. Be forewarned though that the place is tiny so you'll probably have to wait 10-20 mins for a table.

Pork Belly in Vegan Hash

My little brother found pork belly in his vegan hash. He very clearly specified that he wanted the dish with tempeh, but at the bottom on the bowl was ten or so small pieces of pork belly, hidden under tempeh, tofu, and potatoes. The menu clearly labels vegan options but the chefs completely messed up the order. This is just a warning in the future to be extremely clear and cautious when eating at the restaurant.

Love the poutine

I really enjoy this restaurant. They have a few vegan options on the menu. They have great tempeh bacon and their poutine is delicious. The tofu scramble is getting better every time I go there, but it's still not top notch though. The servers are really nice, but the service is sometimes slow. They can't accompany large parties very well, but if you're coming with one or two other people, you'll be just fine .

Great Option for Vegans and Non-Vegans

We've dined here a few times. They have several brunch and lunch options for vegans and the menu is well labeled for dishes that are or can be made vegan. We tried the Banana Walnut Pancakes, the Vegan Breakfast, which includes a tofu scramble, tempeh bacon, home fries, and greens. There is also a variation of this breakfast that includes a poutine. When we are with non-vegans, this restaurant is a great option. However, I don't know that we would go on our own for the vegan choices. While very good, there are better vegan options nearby for brunch.

Pros: Nice eclectic, atmosphere, Free coffee on patio while you wait, Friendly staff

Cons: Vegan choices could be tastier

great option for vegans for brunch and lunch

What a wonderful addition to the quickly growing Corktown entertainment district. Good little lunch and brunch spot. The first time I went I had a tofu scramble. The second time I thoroughly enjoyed the hangover special made vegan (vegan poutine!). Lots of vegan options and delicious coffee. They also use local sourced ingredients. I have had no problems with the service.

Pros: Unique vegan options

Great for vegans and non-vegans

I tried this place for the first time. The Sunday brunch menu was great! There were many vegan and vegetarian options. I had the hangover cure... a tofu scramble, with a side of maple tempeh bacon, and fries topped with mushroom gravy and vegan cheese. I will definitely be back again.

Pros: Many vegan options, Great food

Cons: Crowded
