Saved the Day - TWICE

We loved this place! Everything marked that is vegan or vegetarian! Super-quick (served cafeteria-style), and it was delicious!!! Lots to choose from! We will most definitely be going back!!

Pros: Quick, friendly staff, Clearly marked, lots of options, Inexpensive

Amazing food, horrible staff.

This is a great place for vegans! I got the falafel plate with hummus and an assortment of veggies, it was delicious; I loved the build-your-own Chipotle-style aspect.

The only thing though is that I initially wanted tzatziki, but I forgot tzatziki usually has dairy in it since I'm so used to it being veganized I asked the person at the counter about it, and she confirmed.

Without asking, she started giving me white sauce instead since it "only had mayo", so I stopped her, apologized, and politely asked for tahini instead. She gave me the dirtiest look I've ever seen, gave a loud angry sigh, and slammed the cup of tahini down on my tray.

Listen, I've worked foodservice myself for years. I know customers like myself can be annoying, but you just don't act like that. I was polite about correcting my initial mistake, so there was no reason to be given such a horrible attitude.

As fantastic as the food was, this behavior was entirely unacceptable and we won't be going back, which honestly saddens me considering the other things I wanted to try.

Pros: Perfect falafel, Good pitas, Quiet and peaceful environment

Cons: Rudest staff I've ever encountered in my life

Quick, light, and delicious

You can customize a stuffed pita, bowl, salad, etc with veggies, falafel or portobellos, and hummus or tahini etc. Their falafel and pitas are absolutely to die for when fresh.

Pros: Lots of options, Customizable , Well-labeled

Cons: Falafel isn’t as good when not freshly cooked

Had to go back for more

The first time the food was really good and filling we had to go back for more. Ordered the pita which had falafel or portabell for vegan option protein.

Pros: Vegan options.
