My husband and I had an impromptu dinner here and it was a delightful experience from the start because of Angel (they/them). They were so engaging and fun, knowledgeable, and helpful—they all around elevated what would’ve been a grab-and-go endeavor. Also, I was thrilled to meet a fellow they/them in this organic way. Angel saw my they/them hat and our subsequent conversation was really gender-euphoric for me. (Though I’m open about being a genderqueer person, I nonetheless get misgendered a lot, even when sign-posting.)
Loved it. I got the cauliflower and chickpea schwarma bowl flavors were great, we ate inside and the interior was cute, in a great location. Only downside...
Unfortunately, very low quality of food. Fries were old and hard. Pretzel bun wasn't fresh. We got the bbq burger and it was loaded unproportionally with bbq sauce. We also got the "almost famous bowl" and we're pretty sure it wasn't made out of real potatoes. Worst thing was that someone thought it's reasonable to put sugar (like actual white sugar) on sweet potato fries.
This is my favourite place to eat. Gotta go for the portobello faux sausage burger, my most ordered item. Staff is friendly. Environment is always chill....
Great quality , vegan food is Flame. Love how you have so many good options. One of My favorite place when we come to town 🙏🏻. It definitely worth the trip.
