I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Vegan Mac hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Holy Express has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Jackfruit Tacos but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Mixed feelings. The Jackfruit Tacos was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Cauliflower Wings was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
