Amazing Food - Edit
Quaint and clean with a warm inviting staff. Large portions of delicious food we just had to make room for dessert and were not disappointed! You do not have to be plant based to appreciate this place.

So good! - Edit
Our meal here was so good. The chickpea chilli was really a standout. Not only is the food good, but the presentation is really top-notch. And same room for dessert, the selections are excellent! I think this was the best vegan restaurant meal I've ever had.

Best vegan in WI! - Edit
We happened upon this place a few years ago when it was in the Dells. We didn't realize it was vegan until we were already seated, but it was really good--even our picky teen liked it. I've been wanting to go back ever since, and today we were in Baraboo and realized it had moved there. In the meantime we've become vegetarian so it was even more appealing than the last time. I'm also low-carb, and between those two restrictions I rarely find really good food at restaurants. Tonight was different! I had shiratake noodles with Asian stir-fried veggies and it was delicious. Kids had fake chicken fingers and loved them. Partner had some giant tostada. Service was great, new spot was really lovely. Worth a trip from Madison.

The food is out of this world! - Edit
This is my favorite vegan restaurant that I've been to anywhere in the world! The food is very high-quality, absolutely delicious and prepared with so much love...it is tangible. The ambiance is always so refreshing and uplifting, and the service feels like being attended by angel's, literally. I am always delighted when I eat there and leave so very happy. I highly recommend visiting this rare restaurant gem...even if you are not vegan or vegetarian, you and your taste buds will be amazed!

Atmospheric - Edit
I love this place. It is nice and quaint yet feels a bit fancy, but isn't very expensive. The service is great, food is great, and price is low. I would recommend going here. My healthy, wealthy, and wise plate was recommended to me by my server and it did not dissapoint. That vegan curry was on point.

Vegan heaven - Edit
Very friendly and attentive waitress. I ordered the “Bangalore” from their extensive menu. Absolutely loved it. A vegan-american take on Indian food that hit the spot. The desert case has an incredible selection. Loved the apple pie.

Special spot - Edit
Very nice, friendly waiter. Delicious food. They understand flavors. Only complaint was that their brunch options were a little underwhelming. We ordered some things to go and they were still good the next day reheated. They have an extensive dessert menu and a rotating dessert case. Wish we liked sweets, because I imagine they’re tasty too. Will definitely be back again and not just because they are the only vegan joint in that area.

Cheeze Factory is a Wisconsin Winner - Edit
In spring 2018 our Vegetarian/Vegan Madison, Wisconsin Meetup Group held a dinner for about 40 people at the Cheeze Factory in Baraboo, WI. It was wonderful. They are a vegan treasure not only a for Wisconsin but also for the Midwest. They can "hold their own" with any excellent restaurant I've ever visited. Not far from the Wisconsin Dells, it is a must destination for anyone vacationing in the area and a regular destination for Wisconsin vegans. The Wisconsin Dells is lacking in vegan dining, so a short hop over to Baraboo every day while your there will make your trip very enjoyable.

This place lives up to the hype!!!! - Edit
We find ourselves in Madison WI for my husband's scientific meeting most summers. A trip to the Wisconsin Dells is a must when we are in the area. It would be impossible to say enough good things about this place. They have a large all-Vegan menu and the family has never been disappointed. Even the average sounding items end up tasting great. Leave room for desserts, amazing!

Great food for families! - Edit
We brought our whole family here — 7 people and 2 babies, and they were very accommodating to us all! 5 vegans and 2 meat-eaters, but we all LOVED the food! We got appetizers and desserts as well, and everything impressed us. We were in the Dells on vacation... can't wait to come back so we can visit this place again 😋

all these other reviews are absolutely true - Edit
This place is wonderful, from the ambience to the service to the fantastic food. We ordered the Blue Plate Special: "chicken" fingers on wheat toast with a slice of tomato, a slice of cucumber, and a little vegan cheese, accompanied by really great organic potato salad topped with perfectly picked carrots (way better than they sound). I wish we weren't just passing through so we could come here again! BE AWARE: THEY ARE CLOSING AROUND LABOR DAY AND WILL REOPEN NEAR HERE AROUND THANKSGIVING 2017. If you are reading this after that date, be sure to find their new location: it's worth it!!

Perfect for families - vegan or not - Edit
We took our family seven here twice while visiting Wisconsin Dells. Not only was the service absolutely spectacular, but they were great to the kids and the kids ate the food better than we expected. They loved the pancakes. Our seven month old ate almost a whole banana that came with the pancakes. I had the spicy sausage and schmeggs the first time which was great. The second time I had an Asian stirfry with tofu with is also excellent. My wife had the Monterey bean burger which she loved as well as a fajita dish. The coffee with ice cream great to finish off the meal. The kids loved the chocolate cake and they had root beer floats. Of course everything is made with almond milk or soy milk. Our son had a cashew/pistachio allergy and they were excellent accommodating that. They gave a special surprise mint to the kids with a nice kind of fortune with it. They gave all 5 kids a little toy at the end as well which was a very nice touch and made them very excited. This is definitely going to be our go to place every time we come to the Dells.
Read moreNote: They are moving! Just came again 5-27-17 and they are moving to Baraboo, about 10 minutes away. They close after Labor Day and will reopen a couple months after. We absolutely love this place!

a godsend to the middle of WI! - Edit
My husband and I are both plant based and gluten free, and we frequently travel through WI dells on the way to and from his family's cabin. This past weekend we serendipitously stumbled upon this amazing 100% plant based gem! We were absolutely blown away by the food, the gluten free options, their effort to avoid GMOs, the service... just everything! We accidentally arrived only 10 minutes before close, so we thought we would ask if we could get something quick for take out. Not only did the owner (manager?) insist on us sitting down to eat, but our waiter was incredibly accommodating to our late arrival as well. We also had the pleasure of speaking to the owner of the restaurant who was such an amazing person! It was great to hear a little bit about the history of the restaurant and also that the vast majority of their ingredients are even organic! We can't recommend this place enough!

Great Service - Edit
We stopped by on our way home from Milwaukee only to find they had just closed. Knowing the struggles of finding food options they allowed us to dine in while they were closing up. On top of that, the food was great!

The pancakes are delicious! I love pancakes and when I have the chance I'll order one. I wish they would add sausage links. It would hit the spot. Nevertheless the service is great. I ordered some sandwich to go.

Stopped here on a road trip-so happy we did! Thank you happy cow for the info! Hubs had the gnocchi and fish sandwich with the banana crunch cake for dessert. I had the chickpea chili and miso noodle bowl with the cashew dream chocolate espresso cake for dessert. Officially full and enjoyed every bite. The staff is great. The decor reminds me of my grammars house-quaint and comfortable
