I wanted so badly to love the food here, but was a little disappointed. The tofu nuggets were good but not particularly great, and same for the banh mi sandwich. Fries were cold :( The chicken strips were definitely disappointing — I’m not totally convinced there were actually oyster mushrooms inside the fried shell, which was quite hard. The side of rice was overcooked and mushy :(

Five stars the first time I came for breakfast, three stars when I came for a to go order a couple days later. Love how vegan friendly this place is. The tofu scramble and mushroom toast were both great, though a little heavy on oil and a little light on tofu. The vegan blueberry pancakes were awesome. The servers were pretty unfriendly when I came back a couple days later for a to go order, and it took over 40 minutes to get two burritos with beans. It also felt overpriced — the burritos were relatively small and got really soggy in the to go boxes, and cost over $40 for two burritos.

We got two breakfast wrap, since they were very busy and said anything else would take at least 30 minutes. The wraps were sadly mostly cold kale (though likely the business was a factor). Definitely felt overpriced for what we got, but would be willing to come back to try something else when they’re not so overwhelmed. Love that there’s a vegan lunch option in this area.
