Really impressive place

Visiting family, I went there for the first time on Sunday, then for the second time today. The trip for me was an hour fifteen each way, this in addition to the drive from where I live in NJ, but it was easily worth the travel investment. The drink I had, the couple of lunches, and the desserts, were all very good, and pretty decently priced for vegan food, in my experience. Next time I'm upstate visiting, it's a definite stop.

Big yum

Amazing food, kind staff, cute vibes! Everything we had was SO good, it's hard to even say what my favorite was!! I enjoyed their menu options, they have a lot of stuff you won't find other places. We got the chopped cheese mac wrap (it was today's special), the pastrami brekkie sandwich, Mac salad, potato salad, and a few desserts. The portions were great for the price too.

Pros: All vegan, Cute vibes, Unique menu options

Cons: No bathroom

Amazing amazing!

Delicious food! Awesome staff! I had the pastrami brekki sandwich and a dirty chai. They use just egg (usually not a fan) but wow whatever they did to made it as close to a real egg! Just awesome place! Also food came out in less than 5 mins!

Pros: Staff , Pastrami brekki sandwich

Double the Deliciousness

This place was incredible, the vibe with cute with all the flower art, the staff were friendly, and, of course, the food was to die for. They even had a "cheddar" biscuit that was manna for this ex-Red Lobster fan! Really my only complaint is that they insist on calling their plant-based ingredients "cheddar", "bacon", etc. which made me really confused.

Great spot

Such a cute space and vibe! Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Had a Chai latte, gf caprese sandwich with the Chipotle potato salad.

Wish they had a few more gf sandwich options, but was very good and I'd definitely go back.

Great spot

We stopped in for lunch. My son got the special, jerk pulled pork wrap with potato salad. Other kids got build your own omelet and the crane (kind of like a crunch wrap burger) with Mac salad. Hubby got a buffalo version of the crane and I got the triple decker with salad. Not a huge fan of the dressing on the salad but the Mac salad and potato salad were both very good. The triple decker was huge and I had to pass it off to the others to be finished. Staff was very friendly and even helped us arrange some seating as they don't have a lot of dine in seating. We also got treats from the dessert case- PB cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, maple pecan pie, nutter butter cheesecake, and a giants chocolate chip cookie. All were really good except the PB cheesecake, just very rich and not very sweet. Would definitely go again!

Pros: Potato salad, Mac salad

Cons: PB cheesecake

Loved this place

2024 - Update - came back and so delicious! Highly recommend! We were very impressed!

Went here for lunch and they had delicious meals! I had the Jack Ass and my partner had the Reuben. Each came with a side and they have a great array of cookies, pies, biscotti and other desserts. Really cute place in middle of Schenectady!

Highly recommend. The breakfast crane is divine. The Big Mac was also yummy - has a little kick and I think ours was missing the tomato 🤷🏼‍♀️ also no bathrooms. The food makes up for it though! And the chai latte 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Pros: Completely vegan, Great variety

The breakfast crane is really good made 2 meals out if it. I got a giant chocolate chip cookie for a snack later. Very good. Would like to get the nutritional information for my log it would help keep track calories and proteins.

Pros: Food was very good, They offer a variety of food, Desserts are great

Cons: Would like nutritional info

Excellent breakfast

Came to Schenectady for the Van Gogh exhibit and this made for a lovely breakfast. The spicy southwestern omelette was delicious (and actually spicy) and the lox bagel was solid as well. We will def plan on making a trip back.
Also keep an eye out for their new vegan pub arcade that should be coming in soon down the street.
