Fresh and Delicious - Edit
We went twice while we were in Charlotte for a wedding! Fresh and inventive, not crazy prices, and lots of variety. Particularly loved the sweet potato sushi and raw pad thai. My husband got the nachos and black bean bowl. All delicious!!

I always make a stop when I’m in CLT - Edit
I love this place. The actual restaurant itself is open and airy. I also enjoy sitting on the patio. I’ve yet to order anything I didn’t like and I can be a fairy harsh critic. Their desserts are particularly tasty.

Yum Yum Yum - Edit
Surpassed my expectations. The Blt with spicy eggplant bacon was very nice and the side off broccoli Waldorf salad was unbelievable. I found my self trying to figure out how I can recreate it at home because I'm not from here. I splurged and got the golden latte. pricey but would order again. I choose coconut milk and the latte itself comes with turmeric and maple syrup. so unique it's a must try! I finished my meal off with the decadent turtle cake suggested by my waitress. it was incredible. lol it literally made me sit back and smile. all together I look forward to coming back and trying more selections.

First time with review - Edit
Ordered a Yo La Mango smoothie and the Manicotti for dinner. The entree came with an Arugula side salad. Everything was delicious and filling. The "ricotta" in the zucchini "manicotti" was made with cashew and I could hardly tell the difference between the taste of it weren't for the most subtle cashew flavor coming through. The smoothie was refreshing and filling. Service here is excellent and my items appeared in less than 5 minutes, which I never would have anticipated, but right on! I definitely recommend this cool joint to vegans, vegetarians and anybody looking to change up their diet for the better.
Read morePros: So tasty! Nutritious and filling too!, They know what they’re doing!
Cons: It's more than a half hour away from where I live, Prices are a bit higher than I would have guessed

Take-out with ease - Edit
Ordered online for a specified time (can also do an Order Now option that will be ready in 20-25 min) and it ended up being ready 15 min early. Kind of annoying because I couldn’t get there until the time I actually picked, but it was still warm and delicious. Bar staff (where you pick up to-go orders) were very nice and courteous.
Read morePros: Delicious food and desert, Menu has a great array of options, All plant-based (didn’t notice any honey)
Cons: Pretty reasonable price, but not cheap, Wish they had pictures of each item on website

Pleasant surprise! - Edit
Our experience was outstanding! We sat outside on this perfectly beautiful day and has awesome service. The menu has so many options that it’s difficult to narrow down and pick just one. Honestly I wanted to order more than half the menu! I had the quesadillas and my husband had the Fire and Brimstone burger in a collard wrap. I loved mine but was a bit envious of my man’s pick! They also have nachos, burritos, bowls, a cheese plate, manicotti and more! Like I said, tough to choose!!! So very happy we stopped here for lunch!
Read morePros: Lots of options , Order and pay on phone is super easy, Wicked fast service
Cons: Tough to decide because so many options!

Quaint but pricey - Edit
The food is amazing. The kids had the Bolognese and Tamales. Both my husband and I had burgers. Price was a little high for the portion and our server barely checked on us. However, the food was so good that it outweighs the other.

Very fresh and clean - Edit
The people there are genuine and love to talk about the options on the menu with you. We got take away Pad Thai and Flax Quesadilla. The Pad Thai was carrot and zucchini noodles with a creamy sauce that was more like a cold pasta salad than the classically-Americanized dish—but it was still great to try. It was an overall grand experience
Read morePros: Lots of options that are uniquely spiced, Interesting takes on traditional dishes , Beautiful spot with great atmosphere

Vegan and awesome - Edit
Excellent vegan choices!!! Everything I’ve had here is excellent. Except the broccoli Alfredo dish, which was boring, bland, and totally uninspiring. Just don’t order that dish and you’ll love this place.

Terrible Service - Edit
Sunday brunch - the food was okay, nothing special however. We were here for an hour and a half to have our order wrong twice, get our appetizer with the rest of the food, luke warm soup, coffee after the food came...it was ridiculous. The server was so inadequate the hostess took our order and then the hostess forgot to give our order to the server TWICE. We actually left without part of our order because we’d wasted so much of our Sunday here. If you want to try it, do so at a time it isn’t going to be busy. If it was quick I would give the food four stars at most. Not worth the time.
