Breakfast heaven

This restaurant has a great breakfast , lunch, and dinner menu. The waffle combo is one of my favorite with their homemade berry jam, they have great desserts options and the homemade juices are refreshing. Another fav

One of my favorite places.

This vegan café is so good, it is delicious, things are fresh including their amazing hot sauce and salsas. The waitresses are kind and helpful and it never seems to be overcrowded, they have huge lattes and Morongo and juices, along with a huge and varied menu, From scrambles to burritos to pancakes.

Great joint

LOTS of options (lunch, dinner, brunch). The chilaquiles were delicious. The breakfast plate (“The Grain”) was really yummy too. Outdoor seating available, but parking can be tough. Friendly staff. Food and my latte were not as hot as I would’ve preferred, and it took a while to get our bill. Not a huge deal; food definitely made up for it. Will be coming back! Came with non-vegans and they loved it too.

Pros: Lots of options, Vegan Mexican food can be hard to find

All Aboard the Grain Train!

I ordered "The Grain," which includes pancakes, tofu scramble, hash browns, and sausage. The pancakes were fluffy, but I think the syrup isn't "real" maple. The tofu scramble was flavorful. The hash browns were bland and softer than I prefer. The sausages are two tiny links, but they're tasty. The butter (and my partner's whipped cream) was served in a plastic container, but the ketchup was not, so I'm hoping they just ran out of dishes.

Pros: all vegan, many choices, big portions

Cons: plastic containers

The food was okish

When I ordered delivery the box was sideways and it was scrambled together. Then when I ate it the waffles weren’t the best and I wasn’t a big fan of it but the sausages and the tofu scramble was pretty good.

Pros: Nice savory food, Yummy drinks

Cons: Bad packaging, Not the best waffles

Vegan Crepes!

I was so surprised by this place! Fully vegan menu, caring staff, and all tucked away in a little strip mall. I had the tropical crepe with all its fruity goodness and a side of sausages. The sausages were expensive for their tiny size, but they were just like typical sausage at a breakfast buffet, and there are some creature comforts from childhood that you do miss as a vegan. Love this place!

This could be my last meal

Absolutely amazing. The selection of cakes is incredible. Although not many gluten free options in terms of cake.. still amazing!! The grilled veggie wrap with tofu is absolutely the perfect amount of juicy, savory, and filling. 🥰

Good but nothing special

I got the huevos rancheros and a side of potatoes the rancheros were fine but definitely not the best tofu scramble i’ve had! Got a side of sour cream (which was an up charge) which added a little bit more to the dish, potatoes were fine as well

Also Kind of expensive for 1 person

Definitely enjoyable but nothing amazing

Affordable and Cute but Breakfast Could Use Some Work

Service was lovely! It’s a quaint cafe. Ordered the tofu scramble. The taste was slightly under mediocre for me, unfortunately, but it’s, also unfortunately, I would say about normal as far as vegan breakfasts at restaurants go.

Pros: Lots of options, Desserts, Affordable

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Parking can be tricky
