My friend and I visited this restaurant spontaneously, without a reservation, and simply chose a spot that was available. I’ve always loved plant-based and vegan cuisine for its unusual flavor combinations and the light feeling after eating it. However, this time, my experience didn’t quite meet my expectations. I was drawn in by the name of a dish and ordered the eggplant. The portion turned out to be massive, so I couldn’t finish it. Unfortunately, the most disappointing part was the texture — the eggplant was excessively greasy. Every bite seemed to release oil, which was an unpleasant sensation. On the other hand, my friend ordered the mushroom burger, which was excellent. The bun was unique and delicious. Both the eggplant dish and the burger came with a generous side of sweet potato fries, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The service, while friendly, lacked professionalism. For instance, the waiter forgot one of the dishes we ordered, which, in hindsight, wasn’t such a bad thing since the portions were huge, and we wouldn’t have managed to eat more. He also forgot the tea, though we reminded him later. As for the drinks, the smoothie was tasty but not outstanding — it seemed the fruits used were frozen. From the appetizers, the falafel stood out as a highlight; we really enjoyed it. I must say, the presentation could be improved. The blue-and-white napkins on each plate felt cheap and detracted from the aesthetic appeal of the dishes. Overall, the venue is spacious, and we found a cozy corner with armchairs for two, which was nice. While the staff was welcoming, I missed the guidance a first-time customer might expect, such as recommendations or portion-size advice. Despite these issues, I wish the restaurant success and hope they continue to improve.

Honestly what a wonderful place! Love the aesthetic and decoration- felt very comfortable and cozy. The food was fantastic- the only , and I mean ONLY thing I would say is the bun for the burger was very dry and crusty … virtually impossible not to leave a messs after eating it. the dill fries were to die for! Wonderful staff and did not take long for my smoothie, and meal to show. Will definately go again and try out some other yummy treats and eats ❤️

I've been here twice. First time it was during all-day Sunday breakfast and it put a huge smile on my face since we had just walked out of another restaurant nearby that we were late for the brunch menu to. ? These guys were still serving pancakes after 2PM and they were delicious! I loved the tofu scramble and lentil sausage as well! My second time in I ordered one of the burgers with fries and got a fritter to go as well. The portion sizes are excellent for the price. Though the fritter was not to my liking, I called to ask why it was tough and the manager was able to explain to me that it may have to do with it being gluten-free. He also offered me a complimentary coffee for my next visit, which I was very surprised and grateful for. Excited to visit a third time soon!

This place was amazing. The food was really good and the bakery items were great as well. As we have a couple Celiac family members, this was the first time they were able to order everything on the menu of a Kosher restaurant. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip from Ohio.

Everything was very good. Probably one of the best vegan places I have been to and just love the fact that it's fully gluten free. Wish there are more restaurants like this. The flavour was really good. The donuts are better than wheat flour donuts in my opinion. They have the perfect level of sweetness and the texture is so good. I also love that the protein ingredients are made in house instead of serving the not so healthy "beyond" or "impossible" brand fake meats.
