Unique! - Edit
This was a GREAT restaurant concept. This wasn't far from our hotel in New Jersey and they have so many vegan options. First, you pick your protein (surf, turf, or earth). As you probably guessed for vegans, pick earth ( black bean burger, mushroom burger, chicken, tofu, falafel) Second, you pick your style (over rice, greens, flatbread, taco, or bun). All "style" varieties are vegan. Lastly, you pick your flavor style. All flavor styles can be made vegan as well. (There are 10 different flavor styles) I chose the baja style because it has guacamole. We ended up trying the chicken gyro and mac n cheese as well. The service was great, and the restaurant itself was beautiful. I love the blue decor, it was super calming and cozy.

Basically vegan - Edit
There are many options, and almost anything can be made vegan, if it isn't already. The service style is order at the counter and food is brought to you at your table. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Vegan options - Edit
1st time here. Street parking available (metered). Inside and outside dining area available. Use kiosk to place an order. Clean and inviting place. Had the vegan nachos and vegan BLT. Both came in a good serving size. Nachos were really good. BLT was really good. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their vegan breakfast options.

Back for breakfast. The breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with sausage and chipotle mayo was delicious. Added avocado and hash brown. Also tried their veggie lovers omelette with toast. Very tasty. Enjoyed both and looking forward to repeating. One request I will have next time is for a toasty, crispy English muffin. Also came back for the French toast stinks and they were easily the best vegan French toast sticks I have ever had (better than the Tonga toast o look forward to at Disney).

So good! - Edit
Every time I come in or even near Somerville I have to come to this place. The menu is mostly vegan and they have such a large variety
Read moreof options. Service is always quick, the food is always delicious and they always give you a huge portion. You can build your own, pick one of
their flavor styles or get one of the special options. Over the past few times I’ve been here I have had a buffalo chick’n sandwich, nachos, the grandma’s boy (fried mushroom sandwich), lentil burger pita, mexican-style sautéed tofu bowl, sweet potato fries (with an amazing vegan honey mustard sauce), etc. Everything is amazing and I have never once been disappointed! I would give 5 stars if Happy Cow would let me.
Pros: TONS of options, Huge portions, Delicious and fresh food
Cons: No cons

Ate there yesterday for lunch and I already want to go back. The options are endless (almost to the point of overwhelming) in the best way! A gem of a spot for vegans and vegetarians. The aesthetics of the place are so cute too!

A burger place for vegans - Edit
As the name implies, there are meat, seafood, and plant based choices. For Vegan/vegetarians, its 3 kinds of burgers and chick'n. The food is good, prices are a bit high but consistent with Somerville.
Read moreYou pick a burger, then a base (different salads and/or 1 or 3 kinds of rice), sauces and toppings. Not always clear if a sauce or topping is vegan, you need to ask or take many of the safe choices. If you are looking for a casual (order at the counter) place with several veg options and you are in the area it is worth the trip.
Pros: Good for a quick casual meal, Several vegan choices
Cons: Confusing menu, Prices not marked
reywatson
It states it on the menu but all their sauces are vegan. Toppings are vegan unless it’s obviously something like bacon or cheese (but they have non-dairy cheese). They also have tofu and falafel as well.

Great food, but confusing menu among other things - Edit
So I love this place, but it costs too much money for the amount of food. It has New York prices, but tiny amounts of food. I mean the fries are reasonably priced. It seems like the try to hide the price of all the ads-ons or make it as confusing as possible. So at the end you’re spending more money than you thought with less food than you intended.

would give five stars if possible - Edit
By far my favorite vegan takeout experience ever. Ample vegan options to be had. I've been here twice and both times were exceptional; one of them was during the lunch rush and I still had my food within fifteen minutes. Good balance in the portions between greens / protein / other. The blackened tofu is a highlight, as well as the mushrooms. Would drive the hour up to go again in the future.
