An amazing vegan cafe that serves fresh, delicious food. The atmosphere is very inviting and they have a great deck to eat on in the summer while looking out to the river. Finding a seat in the winter can be a little tricky but you can either wait a few minutes for a spot to open up or take it to go and eat elsewhere. We've only "had" to do takeout one time and by the time our food was out, space had opened up. The staff are all so wonderful and friendly! They always have a smile on their face and are always willing to accommodate as much as possible. The karma burger, falafel wrap, grilled kale salad, and dumplings are great! My husband and I really loved the nachos (and I had just discovered their wonderful grilled cheesiness) but they just changed their menu and no longer have them. I also love their french toast which comes with this amazing ginger butter - I barely used the maple syrup because the butter was so satisfying on its own! They have awesome treats as well. The donuts are to die for, especially the sweet potato and miso donut! I know.. I was skeptical too but just try it, you wont be disappointed. I'm not sure if they are made in house or by another local company; either way, they're worth a try if they have them! In short, my husband (who was previously not vegan for a long time while eating here) and I love Pingala! We're hoping they'll open another location someday (maybe closer to Waitsfield
