Solid spot. The Cauliflower Wings is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
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.
Great vegan & plant-based option for the area. The Vegan Mac 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.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Buddha Bowl was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Pepper & Co. has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Cauliflower Wings but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Mixed feelings. The Cauliflower Wings 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.
