Not on their game. - Edit
Waiter forgot about me after I ordered my drink. I had to flag him down. My food came out incorrectly and the wrap was cold. The bathroom was dirty. And the food just wasn’t very good unfortunately

Variety of vegan options - Edit
Restaurant has a nice vibe. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Food is fresh upon ordering. I loved the grab and go items as well as homemade vinegar/tea. I had the raw sushi with a delicious homemade sauce. In addition, I had the Parmesan burger with sweet potato fries which was very good.

Would leave 1 star if I could. - Edit
I hate wasting food but couldn’t make myself or my family finish our meals. I’ve never been so disappointed in a restaurant. I had an açaí bowl that was an unusual brown color( I don’t believe had açaí or even berries in it at all) it tasted like unripe banana blended with water & was very slimy like unripe bananas would be. I never leave bad reviews either but this just blows my mind. The rest of my family had toast, biscuits+gravy & pancakes. Pancakes we’re the only thing that was just at least a normal ok flavor. How do you mess up avocado toast? We are vegan and not super picky I swear. There is just something not right about this place. I hope they get it together 😢

Meh - Edit
We always eat vegan when traveling due to my daughter’s severe dairy and egg allergy. The food here was just ok. We had biscuits and gravy- it was lukewarm. We also had breakfast bowls. They were a little bland. My daughter was uncomfortable because our server wasn’t super knowledgeable or friendly. We asked about the cakes and whether they were made in house. She said she didn’t know about the cake except that they were vegan. The cakes were okay but nothing special. The best thing I had was a pink iced latte. It was delicious!
Read moreWe won’t stop here on our next trip and will instead try one of the other vegan restaurants in town.
Pros: Large menu selection , Pink Iced Latte
Cons: Not good service, Breakfast food was bland

Nachos and kale salad - Edit
Nacho toppings were delicious - loved the “cheese”. Unfortunately, like many restaurants, the technique for building the plate is not ideal. Basically it was a mountain of chips with ingredients on top. So when you get toward the bottom of the plate, the chips are completely dry. I would recommend layering the ingredients. Otherwise, delicious lunch on my drive through Columbia! The vibe inside was friendly and fun.

Very Good - Edit
We had the vegan waffle, biscuits and sausage gravy, grits, and two coffees and everything was really good. The waffle was very big, but definitely get a side or two if you get the biscuits and gravy. My only wish is that they had more hot savory breakfast options, but that is just my preference 😅 We went on a weekday so they might have more options on the weekends. Overall, I would definitely recommend for a quick stop!

Disappointing - Edit
This was once a place that I was proud to recommend, but I’m not sure what happened in the past couple of years.

All I have to say is “Orgasmic” - Edit
Visited for the first time today, will not be my last. I ordered the sausage biscuit with grits and a pancake on the side (came with fruit as well). Everything tasted SO good, honestly some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had, which is saying a lot.
Read morePros: Tons of options, All-Vegan, no worries about contamination, Service is great!

Super tasty 😋 - Edit
Everything we ordered was amazing. They were short on help and didn't have a barista, so I couldn't order anything from the drink menu. We were lucky enough to be there when the next shift came in (including barista) and made an awesome unicorn 🦄 coffee!!! SO good my 7yr old son almost fought me for it..lol
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Food, drinks, juices in fridge you can grab n go
Cons: A bit pricey, but worth it, Short staffed, no barista on a.m. shift

Disappointed - Edit
This should be 0 stars. The food use to be amazing! But now each dish I have tried has been money down the drain. When our pup does not eat it that says a lot! I ordered their sausage and gravy plate with the only thing good was the biscuit and the potatoes. I ordered a side of eggplant bacon. It was as hard as a brick! Me husband made some at home using a recipe and it was delicious so I was very disappointed when there's was like a brick. I went another time and ordered a pimento sandwich with spring rolls. The spring rolls were great! But the pimento cheese, there were too many spices. Does the cook taste their food as it cooks? I pre-ordered their Christmas dinner and again was very disappointed! The description said sweet Dijon sauce but I could not taste the Dijon. Not sure of the spice but they over used it just as they do on all of their meat replacers. The side of cauliflower Mash was okay for those that like cauliflower, which I do not but gave it a try. Then you have the green beans which was good. I ate the beans with croissant and Mash potatoes we made. Not only is the taste horrible you truly do not get what you pay for! They need to fire the new owner and bring back the previous one! 😤 mind you this is two of their $18 plates on one plate plus our Mashed potatoes and croissant.
Read moreNot to mention I ordered the green smoothie for $10 and it did taste amazing! But the size cup was so small, I could spend a couple more bucks at smoothie king or tropical Cafe and get twice the size! It's the size of a tall frame at Starbucks if that tells you anything.
The rate is wrong, I chose one star but due to it being fully vegan or vegetarian they automatically receive a star plus the one I gave,...
Pros: Pressed juice are good, To go is convenient , Vegan,...
Cons: Taste-too much season, Price does not match the quality and portion, Poor customer service

Fantastic Food - Edit
Something about sitting under a parasol in the sunshine on Main Street, in Columbia, makes my heart sing. The location is so nice, with planters and hanging flower baskets. The menu was so interesting and exciting, it was hard to choose. I decided on the creamy spinach and artichoke quesadillas, with a side of roasted sweet potatoes. Mmm mmm good. A delightful lunch!

LOVE IT - Edit
This Cafe is sooo cute! The decor is amazing (there's plants everywhere!) They are 100% vegan which makes everything 100 times better! Their food and staff is wonderful! They have so many food options! The only downside is that it's slightly pricey, but its totally worth it!
