Not many vegan options - Edit
The chili here is really good but multiple times I have been given sour cream (or even an entirely different soup) when specifically asking for it to be vegan. The food is good but I’d assume a vegetarian restaurant to understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian better.

Awesome Food, Service and Dining Area - Edit
This is the second time we enjoyed this gem. Lots of vegan options. Ask for a plate and choose a spoonful (or two) of their options.

What a vibe - Edit
On a Friday morning, the place was packed. Although vegetarian for the most part, it still had great vegan options and plant based alternatives.
Read moreI was mostly excited about their marketplace, where they have a selection of seasonal salads and entrees and you choose and pay per lb. The clerk had an understanding of veganism as she pointed out salads that have honey.The food was really yummy and the overall ambiance sitting there is very lively and hip!

Delicious vegan options! - Edit
Lovely little cafe with mostly outdoor seating. The buffet has quite a few vegan options if you are lucky (sometimes they run out of some) and often there is a vegan soup available. Most breads and items on the menu are not vegan but have eggs or dairy

Fresh and delicious - Edit
The best hummus dip. We ordered a bunch of sides: Brussel sprouts (ask for no cheese), broccolini and roasted cauliflower. There was a healthy bowl filled with quinoa, sweet potato and veggies. Also delicious green salad, ask for no feta. I don’t think there were any vegan desserts.

Will need to modify menu items to make vegan friendly - Edit
The menu is 100% vegetarian and not really vegan friendly honestly. Some, but few, things you can modify to have vegan. We came here for breakfast and did the avocado toast which was great. We also did the Zinc Granola which was really amazing to me! I loved the orange zest and fresh berries with oat milk (which I had to request).

Favorite place for vegan food - Edit
I looove coming here for a large selection of truly delicious and healthy vegan options in the deli case! I can score with awesome veggies and tofu and quinoa/rice dishes, etc. During the last half hour of service, they discount the deli sides half off, so it’s wonderful. However, if you want to order an entree like a vegan lasagna or a tofu scramble or something similar, not the place. Their vegan menu options are very limited (it’s very vegetarian and dairy/egg based) so just go straight to the deli sides and choose those. Mix and match at will and you’ll enjoy plenty! Good coffee too.
Read morePros: Many vegan options in the deli case, Friendly service, Discount during the last half hour of service
Cons: Not many vegan dishes on menu besides in the case, No vegan muffins/scones, No tofu scrambles

lovely spot; not very vegan-friendly - Edit
I'm sorry to say, this charming spot is not very vegan-friendly. Not many options, even with alterations. The sandwiches are pre-made, so the cheese cannot be withheld. Even though I repeated that we are vegan, our food arrived with cheese and had to be returned. The hummus is ok, and vegan chili is good, and my mom liked the Thai salad. I wish vegetarian places would be more vegan-friendly... Why must there be cheese in everything?

Not a good place for Vegans - Edit
They have a lot of meals with eggs and dairy. Its a good environment though, always busy.

2019 update: can confirm, still not a good place for vegans! I had the Margarita pizza which was one of the only options.
