• Vegan Cafe

They moved to Rocklin while proclaiming service and food would get better. Unfortunately in my experience it has not. New location is not close to freeway or shopping, like previous location, however because vegan options are limited I wanted to drive the extra distance to have healthy food. They used to have this amazing salad and wrap counter. I was able to interact with the employees, ask them how their day went, etc. And they would hand make these incredible wraps, beautiful and delicious. I was always happy to see them as they were me. Then they decided to take out the front wrap and salad assembly line to put it in the back so now if you want to modify the wrap or salad, they charge for every single topping (i.e., $1 for mushrooms, $1 for slaw, when they are only putting a pinch on the wrap). Now the wraps and salads are much smaller, because you are not able to give input, and things are forgotten (sprouts, or carrots, etc). I've paid extra for avocado several times to find they forgot to put it on my panini, salad, and wraps. It's very frustrating to drive 15-20 min further (due to traffic) to have my meal not at the level at used to be. All the exciting experienced employees are no longer in the front to greet you, only a person that just started there, that does not know the register very well, and very cold. This place went from being vibrant with smily faces to employees being hidden in the back. If you go there to eat prepare for it to take 15-20 minutes for them to make your food or smoothie. I would like to call in the order, but many times they either do not answer the phone, or it is so complicating to tell them what I want, I just out of necessity order ready made soup or a simple panini with minimal ingredients so I'm not disappointed. Even though I know the wraps and salads could be incredible if given the effort. Really wish they would bring back the create your own wrap salad counter :( Feels like they keep trying to re-invent the wheel, and it is very sad as they were one of the few places I could count on for vegan food.
