Literally best sandwich I’ve ever had - Edit
I gobbled down the New Porker (Vegan on request) with house-made chips. Generous portion. Wish I ordered 10 more!! Just passing through and will be thinking of this place!

Said they were opening a bakery next door and would have vegan options. Always have vegan banana bread at Cafe Olympic on deck.
Pros: Affordable
Cons: Too far from where I live! Lol

Great diner food! - Edit
I love the vegan specials this place has. I've had a few awesome dishes with mushrooms and the vegan Philly cheesesteak. The portions are pretty big and definitely filling. A vegan coleslaw or something fresh to go along with the fried food would hit the spot. Also the pecan bar is AMAZING!
Read morePros: Big portions, Multiple vegan options , Friendly service
Cons: A little heavy

Delicious! - Edit
They have several vegan options that are clearly labeled on the menu. It was nice to have a hard time deciding what to order! I had the Bruncharito which included chorizo, hasbrowns, black beans, corn, tomatoes, salsa, and daiya in a jumbo tortilla. The breakfast potatoes were excellent as well, crispy and flavorful. It was a filling meal and staff was super friendly. Located in a cute little diner on the corner.

Solid vegan options - Edit
This is a great place for a vegan breakfast in an otherwise suburban vegan desert. I had the pancakes and they were very good and a very generous portion. I’ll be back.

Very Vegan friendly - Edit
Good customer service. They have a specials menu in addition to the ordinary menu. We had to try the specials and we were amazed. Whoever cooks the food must love vegans a lot because this tasted like heaven. Will definitely return for more incredible noms!

Great vegan options! - Edit
Great spot in an area that doesn’t have that many vegan options! They have vegan pancakes, vegan breakfast burrito, vegan burger, cauliflower wings, and a seitan sandwich on the regular menu. They also had some vegan specials when we went, including vegan gyros and it was the best vegan take on gyros I’ve ever tried! Our server, Jesus, was super nice and attentive despite that it was pretty busy on a Sunday. They also had vegan pecan bars but not sure if those are always available.
Read morePros: Great vegan options and delicious food, Nice mom n pop diner atmosphere, Not too overcrowded with tables
Cons: Would love nondairy coffee creamer as an addition

Great Diner! - Edit
I had their weekly special, The Chicken Parmy Sando and it was delicious. It came with a side salad and a side (vegan chili was what I picked). My son got the Vurger with fries and inhaled it! We also tried their pecan bar (warmed up) and it was amazing. The staff was very vegan knowledgeable and explained their vegan specials change every couple of weeks on Thursday. The menu had vegan options on both sides and they do offer breakfast all day long. I would definitely do this again and I'm excited to try more of what they offer.

Friendly, Receptive and competent Staff - Edit
I was curious because I have ordered food from here but only for delivery through Uber Eats. So I sent a Facebook message to the restaurant asking if there are additional vegan options. I’m always looking for more places to take my vegan wife. They were so helpful and receptive! I thought I would share this information with HappyCow because I know how hard it can be to find a place with more than just a tofu scramble, toast &salad.
Read more“We do! If you view our menu either on our website or from Facebook, every vegan option has a “v” next to it. We have vegan pancakes, our fresh baked sourdough can be made into any sandwich, bruncharito, Cali nuggz, etc. Our chef loves to create vegan dishes so if nothing sparks your interest on our everyday menu just let us know when you arrive or give us a call and we’ll whip up whatever we can for you.”
Pros: Chef who creates off menu vegan meals, Supportive receptive staff, Options for omnis and vegans alike
Cons: It’s not 100% vegan

Seasonal Seitan - Edit
I have tried several of their seasonal seitan sandwiches and all but one was phenomenal (I’m not a huge fan of tortas to begin with so that was the meh one). My favorites are the “chicky” parm and the Philly cheesesteak!
Read moreTheir coffee is decent and they have almond milk for a creamer option.
I haven’t tried the tofu scramble yet but I’m excited to!
Pros: Seasonal seitan sandos, Tofu breakfast scramble, Vegan dessert options
