Serves meat, vegan options available. Has tempeh tacos, a spicy tofu bowl, dairy-free organic chocolate mousse, and a few other veg items. Uses local farmers' produce. Reported closed July 2022.
Tempeh tacos are 🔥 they’re a bit pricey @ $15 but you get a lot of food.
Edit: since making this review, they’ve increased prices (to be expected w/ inflation), and not too long before that they decreased the tempeh taco quantity from 3 to 2 (though I was told they use the same amount of tempeh). As much as I love the tacos, it’s so hard to pay $15 plus tax and tip for 2 tacos and a side of beans and rice.
Really unique place with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ordered the tempeh tacos and they were absolutely delicious with a good portion size. Good number of vegan options.
I just went to this cafe this afternoon. They had several vegan (and vegetarian) options. The tempeh tacos were amazing. Staff was great. Atmosphere was nice (it wasn't too busy so it wasn't loud, I'd think in that space it could get loud). My fiance is neither vegan nor vegetarian, he was very happy with his meal as well. Leaving us both satiated is hard to come by so this was a truly fantastic meal.
Small place that was filled around lunch time. Amazing flavors on the tempeh bowl and tofu scramble. Note that the tofu scramble is more like a Thai dinner dish and not a breakfast dish.
I have a not so funny, funny story about this Cafe! A few weeks ago I was told this was an all vegan restaurant, so I went and I'm sure you know the outcome of this story. I left angry because it wasn't vegan at all, just organic. Well I downloaded this app and I did "veg options" and this restaurant popped up! So I did more research and found out that it does have some delicious vegan options! So today my boyfriend and I gave it another try, and I'm SO SO happy that we did! Our waitress "molly" was very informative and helped guide me through the vegan options in the menu, which I really appreciated! My boyfriend isn't vegan nor vegetarian, so he ordered a burger. I ordered a Tempeh Bowl (vegan) and it was the most delicious thing I've eaten in a very long time. It was flavorful and definitely filled me up! My non vegan boyfriend tried a bite of mine, and was amazed! He ended up making a Facebook status talking about how my vegan food tasted 1000x better than his Kobe burger that he ordered! (Which he loved, he just liked mine better.) This will definitely become a usual place we come to eat, I'm so happy I did more research and gave this place another try!
This place is a hidden gem! I stopped off in Covington while traveling along I-12, and I'm so glad I did. The staff was super nice, the restaurant was very cute, and the food was delicious. I had the Curry Tofu Scramble, and they were more than happy to make it sans mushrooms for me. Definitely worth the extra few miles drive from the highway!
This is one of the very few restaurants on the Northshore where the staff doesn't look at you funny when you say "vegan." Although it serves a variety of food, including a number of selections for omnivores, this place has more vegetarian options than all other Northshore restaurants combined, and when I asked for vegan alternatives, I was cheerfully accommodated. All the food is delicious and fresh and the staff are laid-back and helpful. The tofu bowl, tofu curry scramble and tempeh tacos are standouts. It can get crowded and loud at lunchtime, but the payoff is more than worth it. Love this place!!

I’ve been wanting to get over there but I think they keep weird hours and close extra early.
