Solid Café Experience Made Vegan

Been going to this café for years: before and after I went vegan. They have plenty of options on their menu, which I explain below. The menu has maybe changed once in the 2.5 years I've been vegan, but where this café excels is in its variety of signatures drinks, rotating soups, and fresh, day-made pastries. They source their coffee from roasters in NWI - one of which used to work at Uptown. The staff is welcoming and accommodating for people of all walks of life. If there's something on the menu that isn't quite what you want, they'll work with you on adjusting ingredients. You can order sandwich and soup btw! Favorite café in all of NWI.

Nothing Special

I keep hoping this place will get better but it's going downhill. The vegan selection, quality of food and indoor environment are lacking. Occasionally they'll have a vegan scone that's still ok. Suffice it to say, if you're just passing the area I'd put this lower on your list.

Good Food

There were a few things vegan or able to be made vegan but not a crazy amount... I had a vegan chickpea sandwich that was pretty good. Just not a lot of options.

Great vegan options

I have eaten here many times. They have multiple vegan items and several items that can be easily modified. The owner is a vegan herself so they are fully aware of how to swap out items

Pros: Several vegan options , Tastes great , Priced fairly

Cons: I wish they had more locations
