Vegan brunch items are limited during weekends and federal holidays. - Edit
I went here with my fiancee during the weekend, and woweee. It was quite loud and lively during brunch time. The table next to us was *SO* loud. It was such a turn off because they were obviously done having food, and still spent their sweet time yelling over at each other, talking. Oh dear, it was a bit stressful during hunger pangs. I wanted to go home immediately, but that changed soon after we got our appetizer. 😅
Read moreAlso, of note, several vegan items during brunch are unavailable during weekends and federal holidays. I didn't love that, considering it was my first time visiting their restaurant. So, just be cognizant of that.
I really enjoyed the cauliflower bites, and my vegan "chicken" sandwich. Their home fries are marked vegan on the menu, so that was a nice surprise. With some bell peppers and a little bit of tomato sauce, it was a nice touch of zing.
If I return to visit, I'll probably go during the week days.

Nice vegan options - Edit
It's not just an afterthought. This place truly offers vegan food as one of several major cuisines. And the food is really good. There are vegan nachos, vegan spring rolls, hummus plates, in the appetizers section and several entrees that are full vegan, i.e. you don't have to customize. I had a vegan pasta that was delicious. I highly recommend Busboys and Poets.

Cons: The beer selection is weak.

Pretty good - Edit
Great tomato soup. That's kind of the main thing I like here. They don't seem to have a working toaster so I'd recommend subbing out the bread for something better than half toasted soggy wonder bread lol.

Blown away - Edit
Absolutely incredible, numerous options that are *clearly labeled*.
Read moreBeen here twice, the bbq bites appetizer is amazing and I loved the bbq “beef” sandwich as well. Had the vegan lovers pasta (a Cajun sausage pasta) and it was delightful. Also tried the chicken sandwich which was great.
The building/place was also great for the record
Pros: Variety, Clearly labeled, Great vibe

Great atmosphere, lots of options - Edit
We had several of the vegan entrees and everyone loved them. Will definitely return. The BBQ "chicken" bites appetizer were the best. We also loved the Brussels sprouts, very crispy! Lots of great, unique flavors in the entrees. My only critique is that the spinach side was extremely salty.

Nice spot - Edit
A good spot to go for vegans and non-vegans. Everything I’ve had has been good. A little disappointed that some of the options from the Hyattsville location are not available at the Columbia location.

Lovely new spot in HoCo, Lots of options - Edit
New spot near me with cool atmosphere and awesome service! I love that they had lots of vegan,vegetarian, and gluten free options, all clearly marked. Plus lots of great beverage options from the bar. There was literally something for everyone here! Vegetarians/vegans not limited to just veggie burgers and omnivore options locally/ethically sourced. I had quinoa salad and vegan “chicken” bites, both were delicious! Excited to go to go back to try the veggie bowl and vegan “tuna salad”.
