not going again - Edit
I liked this place when I was first introduced a while ago. Wait staff has gone down hill and the final straw occurred when they messed up my order and served me flesh in a takeout order. I am happy there is another vegan option in reading now that can be trusted

worth a visit - Edit
I had a vegan wrap which was rather good and stuffed with tons of veggies. The fruit salad side however was not very fresh. I was alone and I noticed other people were asked if this was their first time. They were told specials, and told about the restaurant. I was immediately given water and asked if I was ready to order. I felt rushed, as if I was needlessly taking up space. When I gave the waitress my money she disappeared for about 5 min. and then started helping other people. I didn't get my change for over 10 min. Mind you there were three other tables occupied and 2 other waitresses. I might try this place again if only for the food.

Cons: poor service, would like more Raw Vegan options

Excellent meal - Edit
My dad and I visited this restaurant for Sunday brunch. We both ordered the vegetable omelet, mine vegan (tofu/cheese sub.) and his not vegan. He loved his and mine was delicious. There was also enough for me to save and eat as another meal. It's so great to have vegan options on a menu! It did take a little long for our food to come out to us, but the restaurant was nearly full with customers. Will definitely go back.

Before Good Eatz, nothing in Berks even had the word vegan on the menu. Originally a gluten-free bakery, GE is now a cafe that knows how to cater to specific diets & does not shy away from special requests. Looking at their menu, you might think it is your average lunch cafe with better & more creative stuff, but a closer look shows the menu is coded with symbols for vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, & gluten-free.
They use green cleaners & paint & take the green concept further than most restaurants. Service is very knowledgeable & excellent, and you can take home some really good bakery items, plenty of which are vegan, mmm. The Fat Elvis cupcakes are divine.
GE is similar to Blue Sky in Bethlehem, in the category of GREAT alternative to a diner. I wish there was less meat since it is called a green cafe, & we all know that meat is not good for the environment any way you slice it, especially in terms of carbon footprint.
Good Eatz is in a former pizza shop. The Harvest Salad *Fort* was really cool, made from logs of asparagus and squash. Never saw that before! The mushroom stew is so good I have to have it every time. I would love to see fakemeats added to the menu & for them to lose at least the red meat, even though they don't aim to be vegetarian.
The place has been packed every time I have been in & is now open until 8pm. We took in a bottle of wine recently & were well catered-to.
Pros: vegan menu, good service, vegan desserts
Cons: beef on menu
