First, but not last visit!

So many plant based options, hard to choose. We shared our dinners and deserts which were all great.

Excellent vegan options

We are here a few times while visiting Portland. My husband is gluten free and had a nice selection of items to choose from. Everything was delicious and portions were a decent size. Loved the tea and juices. Food was fresh and wait staff was personable.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Healthy options

Cons: Pricey (but worth it)

Good, not great

I’ve been here a few times and I’m not sure it’s worth the price. Gets a lot of hype, but I haven’t been thrilled by the dishes I’ve had the 3 times I’ve been there.

Very satisfied

I ordered the raw nachos which had a taco-like seasoning for the "meat" and triangle shaped chips also made out of similar stuff as the meat. I got a little tired of the consistency after a while but that's just because I was so full. My friend ordered the mac and cheese which had a red bell pepper flavor in the sauce, if you like that, super delicious.

Do Not Skip the Tea!!!!

The food was amazing. Honestly on a scale of 1-10 it’s a solid 11. Great service, prompt attention, good prices, and even better, the medicinal teas were amazing, we had the warming cardiovascular tea and it was perfect on this cold night!

Pros: Entirely vegan, Great tea, Good service

Warm, welcoming, delicious

My spouse, daughter, and I enjoyed a terrific dinner. There was a short wait but we were given a little spot in the back of the restaurant to start sharing an excellent Willamette Pinot. We had several small plates (cauliflower, Mac & cheese, and the cheese plate...all very good), the beet and apple salad, and then entrees. The green bowl needs a note that it is quite spicy but everything else was perfect. We’ll be back on our next visit to Portland.

Pros: Many superb menu options, Excellent service, Warm atmosphere, vibrant but not too noisy

Cons: None, we left thoroughly happy

Delicious !

Enjoyed a 3 course dinner with 3 non vegans who could not stop raving about how good the food was. This is a great choice when your friends let you pick the restaurant and you want to show them how delicious plant based eating can be!

Pros: Delicious , Great staff

Consistently Good

I have eaten here for breakfast and lunch several times during recent visits to Portland and have been happy each time. The service is good, the food tasty and fresh, and the atmosphere very nice. My only frustration is that I have not been able to get a vegan/gluten-free brownie that was as good as the one that I got on my first visit here. It is my understanding that there has been some turnover on the baking side of things. I would recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Friendly service, Delicious food

Yummy juice n smoothie

I loved the healthy delicious options for juices and smoothies, although the smoothie bowl was freezing and hurt my sensitive teeth a bit. My husband had the biscuit sandwich which he enjoyed. They only serve drip coffee though, which was a little disappointing. The service was friendly and attentive.

Sunday Vegan Brunch

Fresh and filling! If you want to be sure of a seat, reservations are recommended for the weekend brunch and BE ON TIME. The staff is very cordial. This place is very busy, for good reason, so patience is required.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Everything is delicious

Cons: Not quick...but good food is worth a wait.

always delcious!

Amazing atmosphere, constantly changing menu of amazing food and great place to meet friends for food. My favorite thing is the ma and cheese and I love that you cam get a small bowl of it to comoliment a salad or something else green. Save room for dessert and tea, it never dissapoints with choices like decadent chocolate cake from sweet pea bakery and cheesecake!!

Pros: All vegan, All awesome

Cons: a little pricy, gets packed and doesn't take reservations for smal

Delicious brunch

Literally the most delicious vegan brunch I have ever had the pleasure to experience! The menu has a wide variety of vegan, gluten free, and soy free options and the environment is fun and relaxing! Even our non vegan friends enjoyed themselves!

great lunch spot

Great quiet lunch spot! I am sure it is just later in the day but seems like a great spot for conversations over delicious food. Was there for an early lunch and had a super helpful waitress that recommended that tacos! Delish!

It’s so nice to have meal choices

I was so pleased to see that I had several meal options being a Gluten-Free Vegan. The meals were yummy, but too salty. Next time I will ask them to go light on the salting. My mother’s dish was also very salty, and we ordered different meals. The preparation on the soy curls was a favorite of mine.

Pros: several meal choices., the food was fresh and wonderfully healthy., loved the preparation on the soy curls.

Cons: Too salty., order the tea well ahead of time, 8 min wait after, parking can be challenging.
