Great 1st try for vegan only - Edit
So nice to have a completely vegan restaurant nearby. Got takeout and not disappointed. Server made sure I got the correct order & gave me a cup to fill for hot sauce from dozens to chose from. Ordered Philippine sisig & portobello Argentina Chimichurri. Generous serving size, great flavor. Worth every penny. We generally aren't fans of faux meat but the sisig had a great texture/chew. Great rice & spinach saag like The chimichurrri was not as spicy as I was expecting which pleased me. Lots of garlic. Mashed potatoes were not overly mashed, also how I like them! Asparagus was cooked perfectly, al dente. Looking forward to eating in.
Read morePros: excellent menu & food, helpful staff, good value for high quality food
Cons: closes @ 5 pm on Sundays, Wished it was 10 miles closer!

Bland food - Edit
Nice team, great ambience and great live music, however, the food was very bland and what ppl who are not vegan frequently associate with “boring vegan diet”. Lack of spice in both Indians and Argentinian foods. The only thing that was spicy was jalapeños. Giving 1 star for jalapeños. Unfortunately, the lack of taste was overwhelming. Both indian and Argentinian plates tasted about the same. In addition, there was a hair in the samosas

Fair but not not a destination restaurant - Edit
I've been to Sky Cafe twice -- here's my story:
Read moreVisit 1 - Saturday morning. Greeted by the owner, front dining room was empty, so I scored a seat by the window. I ordered mimosa and french toast. My only complaint about the french toast is that it was way too sweet -- next time, I'll ask them to NOT use sugar to caramelize the bananas but it was otherwise very tasty an well worth a visit.
Visit 2 - Friday morning around 11am (not a holiday) - the place was packed, Owner was not on site, but a young woman and middle aged man were doing table service. I thought I'd keep it simple since they were busy and waited 46 minutes for a BLT sandwich that was dry and disappointing. The french fries were overcooked and the bread was "meh" -- I can't even imagine how one might screw up something as simple as a BLT. It costs $15 -- the same as Vegan Butcher's Son "Killer BLAT" -- and while I certainly didn't expect the Vegan Butcher's Son "Killer BLAT" but this was definitely NOT a $15 sandwich, and service was really poor.
Next time I go in and see the restaurant packed with very few people actually eating food (mostly waiting) -- I'll probably go elsewhere.
Pros: Vegan french toast!
Cons: Uneven customer service, Expensive sandwich that was mostly bread & flavorl

Jack of all vegan food - Edit
we went here on Mother’s Day and don't know if my experience was an everyday thing. It took us almost an hr to get our order. Left feeling the place could be better managed. The ceviche and lumpia were ok but loved the spinach omelette. Even with this experience, I would still go here and maybe try more of the omelettes, pancakes and french toast..may be stick to the diner fare.
Read morePros: vegan omelet was good , all vegan is always the best, staff is courteous
Cons: long wait time, not everything is to write home about

Live music and great food - Edit
Came here on a Thursday night (live music night) after work with some friends and the vibe was immaculate. Not only was the food AMAZING but the music was great too. Anyone can jam with the band which I liked. And the mashed potatoes and veggies were seasoned perfectly. Overall 5 star and will be coming here again!

Delicious food and great music - Edit
The location looks not so great from the outside but the back patio is gorgeous. The food is very delicious. I had the Malay Satay and I loved it. Based on what I saw on the table on my friends plates, I am going to try the omelette next time. There is live jazz music on Thursday night and they are very good.

Cozy atmosphere with live music and all vegan food - Edit
I recently went for a meal at Sky Cafe with my beloved. First off, the ambiance was an A . It felt really cozy and there was even live music aka a piano player.
Read moreI had heard about Sky Cafe from my uncle who went here and he gave me an article on the Benedict that looked great. Unfortunately on the menu there was no Benedict and only after the meal did our server mention they had it yet it wasn't listed on the menu.
Awesome it is all vegan here. We ordered family style including the Argentina Chimichurri and Indian Thali Platter. Both were good yet not great and a bit pricey. Perhaps we ordered the wrong thing. We both agreed to returning trying the Benedict and perhaps something else on the menu. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing.
In any event it was an enjoyable meal and love the ambiance. Live music happens here a few times a week which is a nice touch.

Pros: All vegan, Live music, Nice ambiance

Great Ambience, Great Music - Edit
This is a really nice place and it had live music. The food was a bit pricey and I honestly wasn’t too impressed with the Indian thali I’d ordered.

My favorite place in the city - Edit
I just recently visited this place for the second time and have decided it now takes the top spot in the city for me. It is slightly out of the way and parking can be a challenge (though I have always managed to find something fairly quickly), but I think it is worth it. The first time I had the pad gra prow (requested not spicy) and a banana dessert that was the special and the second time a spam eggs benedict. Everything was phenomenal, and came at the recommendation of my server (I recommend asking for recommendations). I am still trying to figure out how they made such a convincing poached egg texture, though there was a bit more hollandaise than i would normally prefer.

Pros: Amazing food, Cute atmosphere

Expensive - Edit
While the spring rolls were good they were not worth what I paid. Menu is actually cheaper on GrubHub and in store and the menu was the same as the website except more expensive Spring rolls were $9 on their website but $13 in store.

Poppers!… - Edit
The jalapeño kind! Saw that on the menu and I instantly knew I wanted to eat here. The food was really good. My partner, who is not veg by any means was blown away by the cauliflower wings and ranch sauce. Someone left a review about parking being terrible, I can see it being an issue on a busy weekend since it’s a cute walkable strip with lots of other restaurants, but we came on a Rainy Sunday afternoon and found multiple spots including in front of Sky Cafe. The service was spectacular, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. They have a cute covered patio with heat lamps in the back.

Stop! Before you come here - Edit
Ask yourself how hungry you are and whether you want to deal with a HORRIBLE and stressful lack of parking. If you can walk here or be dropped off by a taxi then by all means- come here. Otherwise be prepared to spend an hour looking for parking and stuck behind a hundred other cars looking for parking.
Read moreThe food is EXCEPTIONAL! It’s very innovative and delicious. The spicy shrimp was made from konjac beans and the best. The jalapeños popper was ok but quite messy. The sweet/sour pork was ok.
I hope to return again one day and try the many other offerings
Pros: Fast service , Very innovative , Cozy
Cons: Terrible lack of parking , Restaurant is all hard surfaces so noisy
