Absolutely love taking the trip to Cedar Ridge! I live 30 minutes away but that never deters me from coming here. The staff is super friendly, food is amazing, and the atmosphere is so cozy.

Found this place trying to hunt down the ‘Just Egg’ product & came up in their online menu. Had the Just Egg breakfast bowl & was excellent. Lots of fresh baked goods as well.

Yummo! - Edit
I've eaten here several times with my family and there's something for everyone. The vegan rosemary chocolate chip cookies are exquisite. I always order the vegwich and I love it every time. They sometimes have a vegan cheddar cheeze and jalapeno biscuit that is a must taste, also vegan and super yummy. Great little gem of a place.
Read morePros: Nice staff, great food, good portions, Reasonably priced, fun atmosphere

Oat milk lattes and vegan goodies!! - Edit
So excited to see oat milk here, had an awesome oat milk latte. Worth the trip just for that, in my opinion. And so many vegan baked goods! I had a "thin mints" donut with my coffee and brought home a s'mores cookie and rosemary chocolate chip cookie. All were totally amazing. I'll definitely be stopping back whenever I'm in the area.

Absolute favorite restaurant - Edit
I can’t recommend Cedar Ridge enough. I have told everyone I know about this adorable little spot. I’ve tried a fair amount of their menu at this point and it seems like everything is better than the last. The donuts are drool- worthy. Everyone who works here is super friendly and kind. The atmosphere is so relaxed and cute. Definitely check out cedar ridge if you’re in the area - you won’t regret it!

Awesome little place - Edit
This little place has such amazing food! It was really crowded with limited seating and not much air conditioning, but the food made up for it! I will definitely be coming back here and I heard that in September they are becoming completely vegan! Very cute restaurant in a residential area with a homey feel and cute decor.

Great Vegan menu and coffee - Edit
I’ve tried the tofu scramble on avocado toast and the vegan breakfast platter (the biscuits with gravy are amazing)! Just be ready for a long-ish wait, and if you dislike vegan cheese like me, make sure to specify you don’t want any!

Love this place!! - Edit
I am so happy to have a local place to get vegan food. There are other local spots but cedar ridge is by far my favorite. From the warm friendly environment to the tasty eats, i just love this place! I've had their tofu scramble, avocado toast with tofu scramble, chick'n and waffles, biscuits and gravy, disco fries, kale slaw, seitan Reuben just to name a few in addition to several baked goods. New specials frequently and I love everything I've ever eaten here. They also have a few outdoor tables which is great now that the weather is warming up!

vegan awesomeness! - Edit
They have recently let their vegan staff go wild with the menu & now have an extensive vegan menu. They're not usually open for dinner, but have started doing once weekly dinners & once a month it's vegan night!
Read moreEverything on their menu is House made & the ice cream at the vegan night was probably the best I've ever had.

My Happy Place - Edit
I am so lucky to live only a few blocks from Cedar Ridge. This place is so special for so many reasons.
Read more1) The food. My personal favorite is a delicious savory scone (every day there are different varieties) with egg and cheese (aka a "sconewich"), and now they are offering a vegan friendly option. Have I mentioned that every day there is a case filled with incredibly delicious baked goods from cinnamon buns to cookies to donuts to muffins to whatever else Michelle the head baker dreams up. There are also tons of vegetarian and vegan savory options so it's a great place for lunch as well. For example, they just added a buffalo tempeh sandwich to the menu that is so so yummy. I also love the vuna sandwich (vegan tuna made with chickpeas). Also I'd like to mention that I got a cake for my son's birthday from here and it was honestly the best cake I've ever eaten.
2) The staff. This was very close to being the #1 reason why I love this place. The owner Paul and manager/head baker Michelle and all the other staff there really make you feel welcome. My son has frequently gotten a complimentary cookie in exchange for a high five and a smile, and it's just a happy place to hang out at.
I could go on and on but I'll wrap it up. In conclusion, this place rules. You should check it out - but make sure you leave me a scone and a chocolate peppermint cookie ;)

Vegan oasis - Edit
I just moved to the suburbs from Brooklyn, and I'm so grateful a place like Cedar Ridge exists out here. The burbs can be a lonely place for a vegan!
Read moreI've only been here a few times, but they've got vegan baked good offerings, some lunch items (vegan pot pie special was great), and apparently they've just expanded their menu.
The atmosphere is very cozy and charming, too. I hope they stick around forever!
Pros: Vegan baked goods, Vegan lunch, Coffee
Cons: Kinda small

You cannot compare Cedar Ridge with any restaurant, cafe, or bakery in the area. Everything is done so thoughtfully and creatively, sitting in the cafe feels like home, and everything is delicious!

Something for everyone! - Edit
Cedar Ridge has a warm, friendly environment and some really yummy veg/vegan options. If you're looking for savory, their vegan tuna salad is a huge hit. They have delicious breakfast burritos (available without meat) for vegetarians looking for a hearty morning meal. Their biggest draw is the variety of baked goods. A vegan herself, the head baker uses her talent and innovation to bring delicious new items to the menu each day. Cupcakes, baked donuts, cakes and hand pies galore await any vegan with a sweet tooth who ventures inside. Absolutely try the vegan apple pie muffin, if you get the chance!

Vegan Tuna and Vegan Donuts! - Edit
I love the vegan tuna sandwich! I actually crave it. For dessert I usually treat myself to a vegan cookie (cherry and almond) or vegan donut (amazing flavors available - loved the toasted coconut and the blueberry mint).
Read moreIf I go for breakfast, I try to get the vegan granola bar when it is available or I have the house made granola with almond milk - Yum!
Selection of milk alternatives available if you ask.
Many options for vegetarians as well - hummus wrap, beet salad, yoghurt parfait.
Pros: Friendly , A lot of sweet and savory options
Cons: Limited seating if they are busy
