Comfy cozy - Edit
Cute little restaurant! I had a BLT salad with added seared tofu, and my friend had roasted brussels sprouts. The salad was just OK and a little overpriced. I wish I'd had the chance to try more menu items. They have a pastry case with desserts in the front, and rotating flavor of soft serve.

Bring help to carry a muffin home - Edit
The name Reverie is *not* to be confused with Reveille (the bugle song used by the military to awaken people and summon them to the first formation of the day), although that would be a great name, too.
Read moreThe website does not mention how it got its name. Reverie is defined (by the all-knowing internet) as “an extravagant conceit of the imagination; a vision.” I am assuming the 585 founders listed on the website are the original donors to its start-up funding request, all united with a common [vegan] vision, thus the name.
My only “complaint” after eating here is that I wish Reverie had an “About” page that describes all of this and its history. Food-wise I absolutely have no complaints – they have it nailed.
CURBSIDE BURGER REVIEW
One nice aspect about this burger is that it does *not* have an Impossible Burger patty. Instead, there is a house-made patty with special sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomato & pickles. Sort of Reverie’s answer to the Big Mac. Delicious to the last bite.
SIDES REVIEW
It was my first time eating here so I indulged with a side of Smoked Potato Salad (yum…love the creamy dill dressing), Handcut Organic Potato Wedges (every one was perfectly cooked), and a glass of blueberry ginger Kombucha which they had on tap (very nice combination of flavors).
CHOCOLATE BEET MUFFIN REVIEW
Anticipating no room for dessert, I ordered a Chocolate Beet Muffin to go, because, well, beets! Carrying it to my car required frequent rest stops – it is that substantial. I could not resist measuring and weighing it when I got home. It is 3.75" wide x 3” high and weighs 0.37 lbs. Fellow introverts beware! This muffin will cause you to yell “WOW” after taking your first bite, and make “mmmmmm” noises with each subsequent bite. Heads will turn in your general direction…eyes will be upon you. Totally worth it.

Absolutely fabulous - Edit
Oh my god, this place is so good. The food is delicious, the service is super fast and friendly. There was a lot of tasty sounding options on the menu. We went with fried artichoke, cauliflower tacos and a big salad. Followed by a delicious cheesecake and soft serve ice cream with raspberry sauce. It was super delicious. I also had an amazing coffee dark ale which was really delicious.
Read moreWe sat outside on the patio which is surrounding by a wall with lots of plants and herbs growing there. It was a very relaxing place to eat and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Pros: Delicious food, Loads of tasty options on the menu, Great venue
Cons: Nothing at all!

Shows great promise - Edit
This place is a bar with a small menu. They went "plant based" a few weeks ago and are trying out some things to see what works. The people are nice, the food is limited but good, there are lots of beers and drinks to choose from, there's live music at certain times, and they have parking and free wifi. I wish them the best.
Read moreUpdate: I came in for some brussels sprouts, a barbecue sandwich, and some beignets. This is a new location from the last time I was here. I like this location better it’s got a more comfortable vibe and there is an outside patio. The food I had was good, but not wow. I give this place a solid 3 1/2 stars.

Excellent comfort food-ish vegan meal! - Edit
I ordered 3 different burgers which were all great. The burger patty was neat - Not too “super realistic fake meat” but also not too “here are 3 lentils, an oat and 7 kidney beans on a bun” LOL. The Fried Artichoke Hearts are a MUST. Everything was outstanding. The only thing I found to be so-so was the “Classic BLT” which is seasoned tempeh. I like tempeh but this just didn’t do it for me. I’d definitely eat here again. Note: They don’t accept tips but instead add a flat 20% service surcharge to your order. I always tip 20% or more dining in but 20% for carry out seems a bit steep. Maybe that’s me just being old though.
Read morePros: Outstanding vegan food, Nice helpful staff - even when swamped , Cool space.
Cons: Didn’t like the Classic tempeh BLT

Oh so good - Edit
We had a sandwich and this special mac n cheese with short rib on top, or whatever that mock meat was, both were absolutely incredible! The mac n cheese was so delightful but slightly spicy. There were nonstop people in line the entire time we were there. We went on a Friday night. Love love love.

Lovely place - Edit
So nice to have my wife who, is sensitive to dairy products, be able to choose anything on the menu! And it was super clear that I could get what I wanted and still have it gluten free! But the best part was how yummy the food was, followed by the ease of ordering, the comfy interior and the warm atmosphere. A big thank you to this place for a wonderful meal!

2 Very Good / 1 OK / & FYI - Edit
Small delightful cafe. The service was awesome & prices reasonable. The brussel sprouts and tacos were very good (omnivore bf loved them). Sadly, the arugula was swimming in oil. I paid when I ordered and the total bill didn’t make sense. That’s when I was told a 20% service fee was added already added.

Love their Breakfast/Brunch - Edit
We love eating here, I would say breakfast/brunch is my favorite. The Bloomington bowl is amazing. For supper we ordered Rice + Beans and Lemongrass Tofu Tacos. Also had Beignets for dessert. I think anything you order would be great, we’ve had only positive experiences!

Just what we needed - Edit
We had been craving a good vegan brunch for a long while, and we were happy to have the time to try out Reverie. Not disappointed at all! The choices were amazing and everything was very flavorful. Menu items marked clearly for gluten and nut sensitivities. Their seasonal chia pudding looked fabulous. Many bakery items also gluten free.

You Really Can't Go Wrong - Edit
Everything I've had at Reverie has been amazing. With everything being vegan, you have all the choices. They even label what has nuts and what doesn't, and what you can order gluten free. Definitely get a bakery treat if you're in the mood they're always amazing. The hummus plate and breakfast burrito are both some of the best food I've ever had. I literally went two days in a row. And the staff are so kind and so fun. Seriously love it here and so glad I found this place. It really feels like home there.

Charge a 20% tip whether they earn it or not. I usually tip 25%-50% but a forced tip feels entitled.

Great system for carryout orders online and when you arrive. Oh ya and the food was amazing! We had smoked brussel sprouts, Bulgogi Cauliflower, lemongrass tofu tacos in a rice bowl, and a cheesecake (which we haven't tried yet). The flavors and textures of each dish we had clearly had thought and care put into them. The flavors rocked my taste buds and filled me up. I would definitely stop here again!!!
