Nice tofu scramble

You can sub tofu for eggs. Let them know you are vegan and they will cook your potatoes away from the butter. Nice hearty breakfast and great people watching with sidewalk seating!

Quirky Cafe with character

The staff was amazing, service was a bit bumpy but the attitude of the staff fully made up for it. I had the tofu Ranchero. Very delicious and large portion. Vegan options ate clearly marked and you can sib tofu in the egg dishes

Pros: Staff

Delicious.

Outdoor dining. Okay for solo diners. Service a tad slow but well worth it. Cooked to order.

Pros: Reasonable prices for large portions

So Freaking Good!

This restaurant is a little tight in seating and only takes cash but the environment is super cool! You can also eat outside too if you'd prefer the fresh air. When I went here I asked the waiter what vegan meals he recommended. It was 10:30 so they were still serving breakfast and he explained the meals available and they also can substitute just about anything with a vegan alternative. I went with his recommendation and it was so tasty and flavorful my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Also you HAVE to get some potatoes! I don't know what they put on them but OMG they're the best I've ever had!! Just don't forget cash!

cool spot!

Went there for brunch on sunday, it was very busy but could still easily find a table. There were some musicians playing on the front patio which was really nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Had the tofu rancheros and it was delicious! Hubby liked the biscuits with vegetable gravy and fruit plate also. There's only a couple non-egg options for breakfast, would have liked some more, like a tofu scramble, etc. Will be going back again though!
