Big Selection of Vegan Options - Edit
Small inside but a big choice of vegan options for breakfast and lunch. I tried the vegan breakfast burrito and the vegan chicken sandwich- both were excellent.

Microwaved food - Edit
I ordered the byo tofu scramble to eat at the restaurant, and they brought me a small, plastic tray that they blatantly microwaved the food in.
Read moreThe cheese was baked to the bottom of the tray and it was all around low quality from a restaurant.
If I wanted microwaved food, I could have stopped at the 7 Eleven and made it myself for less than $15 before tip.
The picture is after I scraped the hard cheese off and mixed it all up.
Happy Cow gives an extra pity star for being vegetarian.
Pros: The coffee was ight
Cons: Microwave, Basically vegetarian Applebee's, Plastic trays and utensils for eat in customers

Classic Richmond Spot - Edit
Great breakfast and lunch options! Specials are also offered every now and then that typically sell out, such as vegan biscuits and gravy. My go tos here for awhile have been the popeye breakfast burrito and vegan gyro with extra vegan tzatziki sauce. I believe the seitan is housemade!

Cool vibes, delish home fries - Edit
Lots of great vegan options and cool vibes! Got the vegan breakfast burrito, egg and cheese, and home fries. All pretty good, but definitely need to add some fresh veggies next time - it’s all pretty heavy stuff and greasy. Coffee’s good too!

Busy stop - Edit
This is a small restaurant with limited seating. I came in around 11am on a Sunday. Every seat was filled. You order at the counter when entering. I ordered a deluxe burrito and blueberry muffin late. I waited for a seat to become open while waiting for food. I got my food before a seat open up. It was just me and I was offered a seat sitting with a stranger and I took it. the food was good and fresh. I Ate and got out of there. It was very crowded with more people coming in. I would order to go next time.

Bagles eggz and chez sammy - Edit
I love finding little places in the places I go that have plant based yummy. They have non plant based stuff but I want to come back for the plant based gyro.
Read moreThe Sammy was yummy two days in a row. I went back because it was all good.
The tofu egg...The home fries... Dang.

Delicious Latte - Edit
I tried the Blueberry Muffin Latte. It was delicious, but pricey. Not sure why oat milk is extra when they only offer dairy free milk. The espresso bean compartment of the machine looks dirty and needs cleaning.
Read morePros: Good latte
Cons: Not in a great area , Not cozy inside, Prices

Good burritos & coffee. - Edit
Near VCU campus — lots of college student diners. Parking on street in front of the restaurant. 2 outside tables (in the sun). Takeout Vegan Deluxe Burrito (spinach & onions instead of “soysage”) not too spicy, delicious. Wrapped in aluminum foil — stayed hot. Tasty, interesting flavors, a little salty.
Read moreOur two lattes were apparently made with dark roasted beans, but tasted OK. Friendly, quick service.

Simple but good portions - Edit
It's nice that they offer real eggs and also vegan options. The food was decent, but nothing all that special. If you eat real eggs, you might go somewhere else. But if you are vegan, this is a good choice. Take note that the veg bacon is just Morningstar and definitely not worth it!

Full and happy - Edit
Ordered a breakfast bagel with soysage, egg, and cheddar on my way out of town. Saddened by the opening time of 9:30 for a place that is advertised as breakfast but that’s fine. Anyway- good food. Good price. I’m happy.

Great food! Get coffee elsewhere. - Edit
Got the vegan buttermilk biscuit with the soysage and it was PHENOMENAL!!!! No gluten free options besides potatoes for my gluten free friend, and I wish I would have got coffee from somewhere else. But overall would 100% go there for breakfast again!

Great food! - Edit
Lots of vegan options at this place! I stopped by on a road trip and enjoyed the place a lot! Couldn’t decide between the French toast or the tempeh salad with carrot ginger dressing so I got both. Very good. I also got a banana bread and sausage biscuit but I’d probably skip both of those next time.
Read morePros: Plenty of vegan options. Breakfast or lunch
Cons: They close very early

Easy, simple, delicious :) - Edit
This place is just a 5 min walk from my apartment, so I’m wondering why it took me so long to stop by!! Almost everything can be made vegan. They have weekly specials that’ll keep bringing me back for sure. They also have a fridge with sandwiches and snacks that are easy to grab and just take with you when you’re in a rush. It’s an adorable cafe to just listen to music and enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal while finishing up some work. Just make sure you get there before 2 or 3!! They close midday.
Read morePros: Completely vegetarian, Quick food, Simple but delicious

Best Veg Spot near Campus - Edit
My favorite cafe in Richmond to go to, I love their vegan breakfast burritos and their Tofu Steak sandwich! Their specials are always changing and never disappoint! Don’t forget dessert either, i love their chocolate chip cookie and pb oreo mousse pie. Plus their coffee is bomb! Best quick eats spot, or place to study just wish they were open longer!

went for breakfast. SO GOOD - Edit
This place is absolutely amazing. I got the Make your own breakfast burrito with tofu scramble, potatoes, tomatoes, soysage, and caramelized onions and it was honestly the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. I also tried the soysage biscuit and the vegan french toast and was literally blown away. They had so many options and also had little bakery items, most of which were vegan. Will definitely be going back to eat more breakfast and try their lunch.
