Gluten free highway robbery

There is no reason to go here unless you don’t eat gluten and hate having money. I understand that GF is never going to be as good as wheat flour baked goods, but if my coffee is going to be $7 I should get a straw that holds up for more than two sips and sugar that doesn’t taste like burnt molasses.

Pros: Cute spot, Attractive looking pastries

Cons: Tumeric is not a virtue on tofu scramble, Very pricey

Not as expected

I was hoping for something more. I came for a Sunday brunch and was very excited to try everything. We had a couple of juices and wanted to try the special. After I ordered the special about ten mins later I was informed it was sold out. I ordered my food without peppers but they were still in it. I guess I was hoping for something more.

Pros: Great atmosphere

Cons: Expensive, Slow service

Good but limited breakfast

We had the power bowl which was good. We also had two of the baked goods which were delicious. Would go back.

Rude owner

The food is just okay for the prices. I liked the nachos, but over the years, their cake slices declined in quality. Most of them taste like they have the same base. Did I mention the prices are astronomical?

Last time I visited I was picking up an order. I arrived first thing in the morning and after the person at the counter rung me up, I mentioned that I forgot to enter my phone number for the rewards program. He wasn't quite sure if it could be entered retroactively and before I could thank him and leave, he went to get the owner.

She looked at the screen, then at me, and sighed "well I don't have the time to do this, I'm just so busy" (the restaurant was dead). I've never had such a rude encounter with someone at a restaurant before, let alone the owner. I don't really care that rewards points couldn't be entered retroactively, but I do care about being treated like garbage. It was clear to me that she didn't appreciate my business so I decided not to return.

Hello, we're so sorry you encountered an unwelcoming response. I'm afraid I don't recall this incident because I'm not often on-site and this isn't something I would say.

Exorbitantly expensive. Sell the kids and head on in!

We popped in for dessert and each ordered a $12 fruit tart. A delectable creation! I also savored a $6 golden milk.

I wouldn’t mind eating the rest of the place, but I would mind paying what they’re asking. $18 for an açaí bowl! $17 for avocado toast! I’m sure they’re all abnormally good, but yikes.

We loved the space and the vibe. It’s a really nice place to exist in.

Pros: Exceptionally delicious , Charming space, Lovely staff

Cons: Bank-breaking prices

Inedibly sweet and overpriced

Great service but the food was meh. I tried the amaranth porridge and blueberry protein muffin and found both aggressively sweet. The porridge was overly sweet and still topped with candied nuts and a jam that tasted like smuckers strawberry jam (fake and candy-like), so the combination was inedible for me.
The muffin was nice flavor and texture wise. Lots of blueberries in there, which I loved, but again, way too sweet.
I would have gone for something savory, but I’m not a fan of soy and most things had tofu or tempeh. I feel like this place lacks some more wholesome options and could half the sugar in their recipes.
Prices also felt high for what the food was.
Overall, I won’t be returning.

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Pastries and porridge are way too sweet, Few soy-free savory options , Overpriced

Just okay

Had the noodle soup and the stewed chickpeas - both were just okay. The chickpea dish was more of a warm salad, it was mostly kale which I still enjoyed but was not what I was expecting.

Cons: price

Incredible

Absolutely amazing food quality and taste! Entire restaurant is vegan as well as gluten free! Baked goods, juices and prepared meals are fantastic. Got the forbidden bowl and the spicy Caesar as well as tahini chocolate chip cookies. Bakery items are a bit pricey but delicious.

Quality! Delicious!

We had a lovely lunch here and I really enjoyed the Forbidden Bowl. I also the cinnamon hot coffee, which was a bit heavy for me. For dessert we shared a cinnamon roll and it was divine.

Pros: Top notch vegan baked goods , Quality ingredients , Great portions

Cons: A bit pricey

Ok Desserts, extremely overpriced

I purchased 1 cupcake and 1 brownie that cost $30.00. It wasn’t worth it. I hope this place can stay open….

Weird

I would give this place one star if I could. The ‘caesar salad’ here was the worst I’ve ever had. A ton of hard kale, a ‘glazing’ that had zero flavour as the spicy BBQ sauce was just spicy, there was no other flavour. Just slabs of lukewarm tempeh, not properly grilled or even warmed up. Totally uncooked inside. The portion was big and tempeh blocks were really good size. But no flavour in the whole dish.

Cons: Flavourless food , Expensive

Delicious healthy food

This restaurant is so cute - I love all the plant decorations! It is also 100% organic, plant-based, and gluten-free. The food is so flavorful, fresh, and healthy. Additionally, they have a large selection of delicious baked goods 🤤

Pros: All vegan, organic, and gluten free, Delightful atmosphere and friendly staff, Baked goods!

Yummy, Poorly-Labeled

The desserts are great, though they don't necessarily match traditional counterparts. For exampls, the "scones" were moist inside - more of a dense cake than the traditional dry/crisp texture of a scone or soda bread. Still quite yummy, though!

Updated from previous review on 2023-07-20

Pros: Fruit tarte , Thumbprint cookies taste like marzapan!, Range of options: tartes, cakes, quickbreads, etc.

Cons: Expensive, Unpredictable flavors/textures (but still good!)

Best vegan GF flatbread

Flatbread was my favorite. It had a chewy gluten-like bite that I miss with most GF bread. The sweets were a little too sweet for my taste, but very flavorful. A bit expensive, but worth it if you're looking for high quality vegan, GF, organic everything.

Every Single Thing is Incredible

I often crave the nachos, forbidden bowl, and mango lassi. Despite having had all of them many times, they are always delicious and always hit the spot. My go to sweets are the jam thumbprint cookie and black bean brownie, but everything else I have tried is amazing. I am always super excited when the fruit and pumpkin tarts are available! The owner and staff are so kind and thoughtful and make every visit enjoyable and relaxing.

Good but not great

The place is super cute but SO EXPENSIVE. They told me it was $17 for a slice of cake and I was like what?!? Everything is vegan, gf and organic but $17 is a stretch. The staff is also not the most friendly…but could be worse. The food was good but not worth the price

Soup That Tasted Good and Made Me Feel Good

After eating vegan junk food for a day on the Jersey Shore, this was a welcome relief. Had lunch here, yummy, enormous bowl of sweet potato, peanut noodle soup. Wonderful flavors, complex, warming, soothing. Great lunch. Thank you.

Great concept, needs some work

So exciting to find a place that’s all organic, vegan, and GF! Unfortunately it ended up missing the mark for us. The savory food was tasty but very salty. Most of the sweets were good too, but many of them taste very similar because so many nuts are used in most of them.

It’s also very expensive, even for what it is. I’m not even seeing these prices at similar cafes/bakeries in NYC and LA — so that’s really saying something. Hopefully those profits are being invested back in the company because it’s a great idea but needs work.

Pros: All organic/vegan/GF!, Cute venue, Variety of food/drinks

Cons: Expensive $$$$ (even for what it is), Nice staff but overall weird vibe , Too heavy/rich

Delicious & Nutritious

Went one morning and was so overwhelmed with amazing options that I just got an Immunity Shot and Pistachio Rose Scone. Though there were many vegan spots we wanted to check out, I really wanted go back to eat a meal, so we returned the following morning and had the Waffle Club ($17) , BBQ Tempeh Kale Caesar Salad ($17), and a PB cookie ($6) Pricey, but it is all Organic, Kosher, Vegan 🌱 and GF, so that’s a rare find. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere: clean, green, busy, but not chaotic. High end, but not pretentious.

Pricey vegan cafe with pastries

We stopped by for some takeout pastries today. The blueberry muffin- my daughter gave it 7/10 for presentation but aside from the actual blueberries on top, she felt it had more of a nutty and vanilla flavor rather than blueberry. The cinnamon roll was nice, but a little dense. The point is really that the food wasn’t horrible and I would consider eating it again if the prices were cut in half (or less!). I love to support vegan food options but this is a bit over the top for pricing. (We spent $42 for a cupcake, a cinnamon roll and a scone!!!)

Pros: All vegan place!!, Pastries!

Cons: Extremely expensive., Ridiculously expensive, Quality for prices does not match.

We had a similar experience — the flavor of nuts took over most of the pastries.

Also agree that it’s overpriced. Organic vegan food in NYC and LA doesn’t even cost this much.

Fabulous dessert

Today I had a delicious passion fruit parfait. It was worth it, the flavors were fresh, the coconut was mellow and creamy, and the cake slices were divine. I will be back on occasion for a special treat. I haven’t had this bakery for at least a couple of years, and the price definitely hasn’t changed at all, so know that you are paying a higher price.

Pros: Really well thought out and delish desserts

Cons: Expensive
