Good but overpriced vegan junk food - Edit
The food is good, but it's very overpriced for the small portions they serve. It's a lot of junk food, impossible burgers, nachos and such. Also, they have been posting some very questionable stuff on their social media, like conspiracy theories from far right influencers. I don't feel comfortable going here again.

Everything is delicious - Edit
Everything I’ve done here is delicious. I highly recommend. It’s well worth going the 5-10 mins out of your way if you’re passing by Hickory on the highway.

We were on vacation and used the Happy Cow app to find this place! So so glad we did! We were staying in a Skoolie with limited cooking options (like glamping) and had been surviving on snacks!
Read moreThis place was so cute - loved the walkable area!
I had the quesadilla with jerk chickun and my kiddo had a burger! They were both delicious! The “meat” in my quesadilla was house made and was truly an amazing texture snd flavor!!
Will definitely make sure we come back here!!
Pros: Food (burger, quesadilla, and sides), Atmosphere and Staff (so friendly), Quick service!
Cons: Nothing!

Yummy Brunch - Edit
Drove 45 minutes to try. Owner was so lovely and attentive. It was a brunch only menu. We got 3 meals to split between the 2 of us because I’m a sucker for macaroni and cheese. Food was fresh and delicious. Got a pastry to go. Will definitely come again.

Based Boss Plant Beast! 💚🌈🌱 - Edit
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Exceptional. Pure fire. This amazingly clean, fresh and comfortable brand new restaurant in the middle of Hicktown, North Carolina was the surprise delight of my Southern Sojourn. Hickory is on the vegan map! You better stop here if you give a damn about your tongue and tummy.
Read moreThe owners (with over twenty years vegan experience between them) went and busted all expectations to create an exciting menu with homemade sauces, recipes, analogs and ingenious flavors. Smoothies were correct, sandwiches were correct, prices correct, and the service too. All right, all right, all right. These badass bosses bested my hungry and satisfied me all the way to the next level.
Hallelujah for Plant Based Boss!
Pros: small biz, dedicated vegan owners and chef, cute dining hall, stupefying food flavors

High recommend - Edit
Fun atmosphere, great food, and the owners are super nice and personable. Just an overall great experience. Prices are reasonable and decent selection that changes occasionally so you can always try something new. They may not be a bakery, but the cookies are my favorite! They are out of this world amazing with awesome flavor and the perfect soft, almonds cake like texture.

Kind people, tasty food. - Edit
Not only is the entire menu vegan, they are very aware of what is in their food, so it is easy to ask about any food allergies. I would like it if they would use compostable paper products instead of so much plastic, but that is an industry wide problem, not just them.
Read moreSo far I've had very tasty smoothies, broccoli salad AND a very rich, dark, chocolate chia pudding. There isn't a thing I've had there that I wouldn't recommend.
Pros: Tasty , Fast options in the grab and go cooler!, Kind, knowledgable people.
Cons: Limited hours
