Philly cheese steak sub BBQ was made by the gods - Edit
Really like j Selby's been going to them since before they switched owners to the herbivorous butcher, and haven't noticed much changes from their great items. Like the title says their Philly cheese steak is their best item to me. Highly recommend. The only problem is with the hours but that's an economic issue I assume. Try them out.

Winter Harvest Bowl - Edit
It was very good, I would only wonder if the tofu could have had a non-fried option. With the sweet potatoes fries, and fried tofu, it seemed a little too much fries and not enough lettuce. 🤣😂🤣
Read moreI took it to go, and I took half of the toppings and added it to more lettuce/spring mix greens and made two portions out of the one order.
Pros: All the toppings
Cons: Wished there was a non-fried tofu option to add

Best Cauliflower Wings Ever! - Edit
There were so many delicious sounding options that it was difficult to choose! Ultimately, I settled on the Beer-Battered Cauliflower Wings tossed in the Maple Mustard BBQ sauce and the Steak Sandwich with fries. The "wings" were fried to perfection; far and away the tastiest helping of cauliflower I've ever had! The Maple Mustard BBQ (basically their take on a Carolina-style BBQ sauce) was the perfect amount of tangy and sweet and paired well with the side of ranch. The sandwich was delicious, albeit a bit dry for my taste. The fries were wonderfully crispy and seasoned generously. My eyes were way bigger than my stomach because I ended up needing a box for both (good news is they both reheated extremely well later at home). I also took home a couple of selections from the bakery case, my favorite of which was the Gochujang Sugar Cookie. They bring the food out and bus the tables for you, which is a nice touch for a place where you order from the counter. I do like their no tip/living wage philosophy, but would prefer they actually reflect that in the price of their menu items rather than an employee wellness fee added to the end of the bill (essentially a tip).
Read morePros: Full vegan menu, Diverse offerings, Friendly/helpful staff
Cons: Employee wellness fee, Counter ordering feels impersonal

Delicious Food and Great Hospitality - Edit
I was in St. Paul in business and I checked HC for places near me for dinner. Caught a Lyft and was not disappointed! Very welcoming, helpful and kind staff. I enjoy the casual seating so I could take a corner and read. Food was beyond all expectations. Get the Caesar Salad! It’s great. Also got the breakfast sandwich to go and it was delicious the next morning. (Hotel coffee shop staff heated in their panini oven.)

Amazing food and service - Edit
I just moved to St. Paul and found this place on Happy Cow. I ordered the BBQ black bean burger with fries. The food was amazing. Just the right about of spice on the burger. The staff was also really helpful in providing coffee/food recommendations in the area!

Casual, Large Menu - Edit
It’s another order-at-the-counter, upscale casual place. Really big menu. Pretty pricey (they add on mandatory tip also). I tried the breakfast sandwich and it was good. I got the walnut Caesar salad as my side and I loved that! Definitely will come back and try more menu items another time.

Good not great - Edit
This place needs some improvements. The menu is vast and the quality/taste of the items vary greatly.
Read moreBad:
Caesar salad, eggs Benny, fried mushrooms, side potatoes
Good: Frostbite, animal fries, milkshake
OK: donut
Very casual counter-service but they charge you a mandatory 15% tip.

In town traveling and so happy to have found this gem. I had the breakfast burger and it hit the spot! The Animal Fries seem to be a local favorite, and now my favorite too. Love this place for its convenient location, diverse staff, and clean facilities!

Second time here - Edit
My second visit here and I enjoy it. I think the quality is better than most vegan restaurants and the staff is great. Strong Manhattan vibes and could compete with the larger cities. There’s no tipping here so the final price is what you pay. The soup special was incredible and I’m still thinking about it 8 hours later.
Read morePros: Great flavor , Friendly staff, Variety of items

Best Gyro Ever - Edit
I'm pretty picky when it comes to mock-meats but I'm usually sold when it's "house-made", and their gyro "meat" was unreal. It had perfect seasoning and was the size of my head (partial joke). Also, make sure to get a milkshake because they do them right.

Yummy vegan American/junk food classics - Edit
I love j Selbys! I recommend their burgers. I love that tip is included. It’s on the sl ig holy pricier side, but it’s worth it to support a local vegan business that gives back to the community.

Best Sunday Brunch - Edit
The brunch here is so underrated I can’t believe it. It seems like they rotate some of menu items and they have new pastries/baked goods every Sunday.

One of my favorite vegan restaurants! - Edit
I have loved everything we tried the two times I’ve eaten there. I think the price, service and selection are all very good. I have only eaten there twice because I live in Ohio.
