Great vegan & plant-based option for the area. The Kale Caesar was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Beyond Burger 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.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Cauliflower Wings and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Kale Caesar was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
