Seriously so delicious, nice staff, cute interior and DELICIOUS (did i mention delicious) food! Both locations have so much to offer. Amazing vegan food at a great price. Also, first time trying a vegan drumstick. It was incredible, the texture and flavor are so savory and juicy!

Just as delicious as I remember! My little sister, who’s not vegan, even enjoyed her food!! The only thing I’ll say is I won’t recommend the collard greens, they’re just OK.

This place is good for what it is. They have a very limited number of dishes (about 12 on display to choose from) and they are all vegan. Most of the “meat” is soy protein, and the other dishes are plain.

You pay by the pound (as of July 2022 it is $9.49/lb) and this can add up quite fast especially if you get things like noodles or chickpeas.

They were out of their eggplant dish, which is really the only reason you should come here if you can! That is probably the best tasting item they have.

Would I come here again? Probably if I’m in a pinch and just want solid food that doesn’t blow me away.
