Delicious food, cozy atmosphere - Edit
The food was so good! I had a chickpea flour crepe (so hard to find crepes that aren’t made with white flour!) stuffed with potatoes, vegan pesto and almond ricotta. The almond ricotta was delicious! It’s a cute, cozy place. Can’t wait to go back. Service was on the slow side but it wasn’t too bad.

Vegan breakfast I have dreams about - Edit
The perfect spot for a scrumptious savory all vegan brunch. I crave this place all the time.

Lunch in Midtown - Edit
Enjoyed our lunch of the daily special mushroom panini (fried instead of toasted) and chickpea crepe. I felt the crêpe was oily and the waitress immediately had it remade. The remake was much more favorable. Pesto was amazing in both dishes. Wait staff was friendly and made it a pleasant dining experience. Would definitely stop by again as there were so many menu items we wanted to try. They need a taster platter.

Great food, great service - Edit
Clean, warm atmosphere, they also have seating by the window overlooking the street below for people watching if you choose. The food was terrific; we ordered the tomato soup and Veg Fest Plate to share. The portion size of the Veg Fest Plate was definitely enough for at least 2 people.

Lovely place, wonderful staff - Edit
But plan accordingly, it can get busy fast with limited seating.
Read moreOur waitress was really sweet as well.
I tried a lot of different things:
Excellent fries, waffles, French toast, scrambled tofu. The sweet crepe was insanely good but definitely very very sweet (so beware).
Probably pass on the hash browns (get the potatoes or fries instead) but everything else was insanely good.

Charming Café - Edit
Interesting menu items with good variety, very friendly staff, and lovely enclosed porch seating. It wasn’t mind-blowingly good food, but it is good and I would eat here again for sure. My biggest note is they need to upgrade their old cheap dishware badly, but the waitress said there is a new owner and they are doing that soon!

Underwhelmed - Edit
I ordered the Curry Bowl because I love a good curry dish served with rice.
Read moreThe Curry Bowl was underwhelming because the rice was room temp and the curry has a tad of warmth to it, but not even luke warm. I didn't bother to asked if it's supposed to be served room temp, not the possibility to have it heat up in a microwave. The flavor was land to be because it had a very mild taste of curry and the rice was more on the dry side. Sadly, the curry sauce was not enough to help with the dryness.
I told the server after I order my meal that most likely I will order a dessert and a coffee. Maybe I was not cleared and the server wasn't not a coffee with dessert kind of person. My cappuccino came before the Ukrainian Babka Cake. Again, the cappuccino was not hot but luke warm. I never had Ukrainian Babka Cake but I had open mind to see if it's to my personal linking. The texture was interesting. It had a dense spongy texture with a bit of crispy outer to texture. Again, pretty bland but I am glad it was not overly sweeten. (so when I mentioned bland, it's lack of any flavor). They told me they used agave, but there should be other way to add more flavor to it. I Googled the traditional recipe and it uses honey. There are so many vegan honey recipe add dandelion to the flavor. Why can’t agave be adding some more flavor to it?
This definitely is one if the places with to a of good reviews, but I was underwhelmed. Reviewers had failed on this one.

You can’t go wrong with their Curry Bowl, it’s filling but at the same time not too heavy. If you want something heavy and delicious try their Oktoberfest Plate.

Lunchtime - Edit
Seems to have a good following. Busy at 1p, but not crowded, with open tables. Service seemed slow given other people came, ate and left by the time we got our food. Maybe you can order ahead?
Read moreI enjoyed the Special BLT with avocado and the side salad was nicely dressed. “Bacon” was crispy and the bread was good. My date had the Special Panzanella Salad with house made ricotta. He liked the salad, the ricotta was kind of bland.
Cute place. We found a parking spot easily.
Pros: Vegan!, Location
Cons: No outdoor seating

We went back for Sunday Brunch. Same thing happened again! Someone else was seated after us, ordered after us and was served before us. This time I asked the server, how this happens. I was told it was our order that delayed us being served. The kitchen had to make more waffle batter. Just seems the kitchen is not well organized.
