Good Sandwiches at Good Price - Edit
Took my wife here for a belated Valentine's meal. We'll be going back to celebrate a belated birthday too.
First, let me say how refreshing it was to have vegan food that was roughly the cost of the same food in a another restaurant in the area.
The banh mi was good enough, but didn't impress me. It strayed a bit too far from the traditional taste/ingredients of a banh mi, plus I'm no fan of tofu, and it certainly didn't help this sandwich. If I have it again, I'll try it with seitan. My vegan wife, however, loved every minute of it.
I enjoyed the reuben more. I recommend it, particularly the seitan version. Still not a home run for me, but one of the tastiest vegan sandwiches I've had. Go for this one. My vegan wife also loved this one.
We shared a chocolate vegan soft-serve ice cream for dessert. This was the best part of the meal. I think my wife entered nirvana eating it. I was unhappy with the slightly gritty texture I perceived, but the flavor won the day. It may seem like an "add on", but be sure to get some.
Pros: Very reasonable prices, Great tasting ice cream, Better than the average vegan sandwich place
Cons: Numerous near-misses for a non-vegan.

delicious sauces, real ingredients, satiating & quick - Edit
Great place! Order at counter, and food is brought to you. Great place for lunch. Between two ppl we shared one of the bowls (the classic/most popular dish) and The tacos. They kept us full for several hours. you can ask for more than one sauce on the bowl. We combined the spicy jerk peanut & creamy mushroom sauce. (now that I am writing this out loud, it sounds a little weird. But it was really good!) The place is very comfortable, not fancy, but very pleasant. They also serve vegan soft serve ice cream! We didn't get it but would love to go back to try it next time

healthy and delicious vegan food! - Edit
As a vegan who follows a whole-food plant-based diet, I'm so happy to have discovered this cafe. I've been there twice so far. I had a brown rice and quinoa bowl the first time and the burrito the second time. Both were delicious! The staff was also very friendly. Will definitely be back again :)

Great tasting healthy vegan - Edit
With so many vegan restaurants using heavy amounts of oil, it's a nice change to find a healthy vegan place. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend their bowls. The roasted veggies were so flavorful that it really didn't need a sauce but the mushroom sauce was fantastic. The reuben was also very tasty and the broccoli soup was good. The portions are pretty large, which is nice. The atmosphere was alright. Will definitley be eating here quite a bit. I rate my experience 4.5/5.0.
Pros: Healthy, Tasty, Friendly/helpful staff
Cons: Atmosphere is ok, Could use more food options

Incredible Service & Prices - Edit
Stopped in here for lunch on a cold Monday and warmed up with a bowl of black bean soup! It was delicious and I was generously offered a sample of the Groothie and the other soup of the day. Very pleasant & quick service with a comfortable, approachable feel. Had some vegan soft serve for dessert and got to pour it myself!! This place just opened and you MUST stop by!
