Great every time. - Edit
Whenever I am in the area, this is my go-to. Wide variety of delicious wraps, bowls, burgers, etc. I’ve tried half of their menu and never been disappointed. They are reliably good, their service is good and friendly, and you have indoor/outdoor seating options.

Good not great - Edit
Vegan food is hard to come by in the Midwest, so was glad to have a fully vegetarian restaurant where everything can be vegan. We got the mushroom burger, “chicken” wrap, and owl fries. All were good, none were great.

Great burrito - Edit
The walnut chorizo burrito was incredible--the crema really matches the chorizo--as was the burger of the week that we had (brushetta and vegan feta with the beyond patty)!
Read moreThe wings were good but less special.
Got the brown sugar cold brew special, 10/10.

Some of the best vegan food in the country! - Edit
Every single sandwich and dish we ordered was phenomenal! The flavors are better than most vegan restaurants we’ve eaten at around the country. They also make some great baked goods. Unfortunately, they offer some dairy cheese. I guess because it’s in Wisconsin so they feel they have to. But whether you’re vegan or not, this restaurant will make you want to turn Vegan because this food is so flavorful it’s just great “food” and very filling. Hands-down, the best vegan joint in Madison.

Great Atmosphere. - Edit
The food here is very good and they have a pretty varied menu! I had the Chick’n Satay Sandwich which sounded super interesting and I’m glad I tried it, the peanut sauce and sriracha mayo work so well together! I would definitely have it again! I also got to try Za’atar Chicken Wrap, it tasted so fresh and light, a whole different vibe than my order but amazing nonetheless. We shared an order of wings with the sweet Thai chili sauce and it went really well with my sandwich. The restaurant was super cute and laid back with lots of plants and all of the staff I interacted with were super kind and helpful. All around a great place to dine!

Favorite restaurant in Madison - Edit
Lived in Madison for 3 years, ate here roughly weekly. Delicious. Favorites were the Madison Philly and buffalo wings but lots of good options. They use dairy, but everything is base vegan and its easy to avoid the dairy.

How many times can I come back? - Edit
So delicious!! I was visiting the area and was hesitant because I thought it was mostly vegetarian and not really vegan but the opposite is true; everything is vegan on the menu and can be made wi the dairy if requested. I’d come back time and time again to have what we ordered and to try everything else on their menu! The chocolate lava cake was perfection!

Excellent food, friendly staff! - Edit
We were immediately greeted by the staff upon walking in and they took time to explain where we should order, give recommendations, etc. The fries were perfect! I tried their house burger which was a little nontraditional with cheese sauce and jalapenos, and it turned out to be excellent. We also tried the chicken sandwich which was perfectly crispy.
Read morePros: Great variety, Cute patio

Our food was bland. French fries mildly warm. Been here several times this missed the beat.

Vegan can be made vegetarian - Edit
This place was so good! I had the sandwich of the week, which was a po'boy sandwich. Loved the soft sesame bread and the homemade roumellade sauce. I also got the Alfredo pesto pasta. It was even good cold! A must visit when in Madison.

Tried one last time - Edit
I have been here or ordered to-go about half a dozen times over the years and have always felt it was over-priced and not that good. I went there one last time with a friend recently and it was the same story except with slightly subpar service (slow, grudgingly helpful). The nachos were alright but the toppings weren’t really loaded. I asked specifically for a sweet drink and it was anything but- asked them to add to it and it tasted about the same. Disappointing for a $12 drink. Nothing on the table was exciting. The bill was large.

I'll Be Back - Edit
The food was insanely good.
Read moreI got the Turkee Club, which was the Sandwich of the Week. It was HUGE - 3 pieces of bread...Big Mac style. I got chili as my side, and it was probably the best vegan chili I've ever had. My wife got the Steakbomb, which she really liked. She said she would 100% order it again. The portion:price ratio was very reasonable as well.
We're definitely looking forward to coming back here multiple times and trying more things off the menu.
Pros: Delicious, Good portions
Cons: Very limited seating, Parking

Nice fast vegan food - Edit
This place prides itself on elaborate food with house-made ingredients. I had a conversation with one person who makes all the syrups for their coffee drinks and I have to say their seasonal gingerbread cold-brew is life changing.

Really tasty - Edit
Not many non-junk-food vegan places in Madison. Green Owl is a hidden gem! Loved the special of the day (cauliflower sandwich) and the soup (curry squash). Will be back for sure.

Quick to run out of donuts lol - Edit
Cute place in Madison- stopped here and ordered the loaded fries and nachos. The loaded fries were amazing, like amazing amazing. But I didn’t care for the nachos as much. I think it was the tortilla chips they used- not a fan. And the guy in front of me in line grabbed the last two chocolate donuts- so I’ll have to come back to try those and more of the menu
