Great breakfast, even better vibes

The manager, Paolo was incredibly helpful with food allergies and made the experience both entertaining and enjoyable. The food was delicious and the dedicated vegan menu had great options! (5 star experience as someone with severe food allergies)

Pros: Great Service , Gluten free and vegan menu

Best vegan friendly diner around this area

Donuts! Coffee! Pancakes! What more can you ask for from a diner in the way of vegan options. I’m not a big breakfast gal but if I was, this would be my favorite breakfast place for vegans. Diner-vibe in the restaurant itself, also good for delivery and takeout

Great vegan menu

There is an entirely vegan menu here. I remember I got a vegan scrambled egg breakfast special that I really liked. This restaurant also had a cool diner vibe.

I love this place!

I’ve been vegan for almost 27 years and have eaten at many vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants. This was my favorite place I ate in Cambridge, even over Veggie Galaxy. The food was solid, and I enjoyed the vibes and the clientele. I’m from the South, and this place felt like home. I ate here twice. The DVD vegan scrambled bowl was my favorite, but the vegan avocado toast and hungry vegan plate were also delicious.

Pros: Reasonable prices, No wait for tables , Diverse and friendly clientele and staff

Great!

This place has a full vegan menu, amazing! The food was tasty and hearty— I got the DVD Vegan Breakfast Bowl and enjoyed it. This place is on the pricey side but portion was big enough for 2 meals and I was able to take it to go. Also, they were able to get me vegan butter for my toast when I asked!

Delicious food!

I came here 3 times during my Trip to Massachusetts. I went to two different locations and one had a vegan bacon that I've never had before (Thrilling Foods) and it was the most realistic and delicious vegan bacon I've ever had. Would love to come back to Massachusetts just to eat here again

Pros: Separate vegan menu, vegan donuts

Yum!

I loved the aesthetic of this place and that there was a full vegan menu/section! My non-vegan friend even ordered something vegan. I got the sweet potato fries for the table, which weren’t my favorite, but then loved the vegan breakfast wrap with added vegan cheese. Would go back to try some veg donuts !

Pretty good!

They had an entire vegan menu, and had vegan donuts as well! I didn’t get the chance to try the vegan donuts, but I definitely will be going back to! The service was great, and it was cute inside with a nice diner vibe. The chicken and waffles were really good. They are a bit expensive tho is the only downfall.

Full vegan menu!

Comfortable diner with a full vegan menu. We visited it a couple times and everyone (all vegan) enjoyed their scrambled tofu, pancakes, vegan sausage, and vegan taco bowl. Large menu option which you don’t often see. Recommend!

Seasonings please

I got the breakfast burrito which I remember reading had house made seitan in it, but I didnt see that, just unsalted beans onions and green peppers, as well as the violife cheese i added. Altogether underwhelming, though i applaud the number of vegan options available.

Pros: Number of options, Vegan cheese brand

Cons: Not as advertised, Unseasoned

A really solid breakfast option.

A full separate vegan menu, house made cheese sauce, multiple vegan donut options, great cup of coffee. Healthy options, also your classic sugary diner options. Delicious!

Pros: Vegan Bloody Mary!, Vegan donuts!

Yummy cake donuts

Have had their vegan cake donuts a few times. They are delicious and a nice alternative to other local vegan donuts that are yeast risen or muffin like. They have a vegan breakfast menu that looks delicious that I would like to try. I appreciate the diner ambiance.

So many options 💚

Loved the separate menus with vegan options. I hate having to weed through the menu to find options or ask for things to be removed to make it work. I also loved that my daughter that sometimes chooses meat had options too

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Perfect place to eat w/ non-vegan friends/family

best donuts!

i got a breakfast sandwich with just egg, vegan cheese, and impossible sausage on an english muffin. it tasted like fast food in the best way- so nostalgic and so so delicious. i got the house potatoes on the side which were slightly bland but nothing some salt and ketchup couldn’t fix. the donuts were also soo good but slightly pricey! good variety of flavors and super unique!!
second time i went i got the hungry vegan which is 2 MASSIVE pancakes, toast, tofu scramble, vegan bacon, and potatoes. pancakes(forgot to take a pic) and potatoes were delish. toast was toast. the tofu scramble was honestly very very bland. not a good texture and it tasted only slightly like onions. the bacon was the yummiest vegan bacon i’ve ever had taste-wise but i wish it was crispy! the coffee was nice and tasty as well:)

*0 star

Tofu scramble = onions with a yellowy paste (presumed to be the tofu?). Potatoes were hard & flavorless.
Despite the vegan menu, I have to question whether only vegan ingredients are used as none are listed and staff seemed unclear for the house made items.
The staff was friendly …but it’s a hard pass from me on the food.

Not easily forgotten

My 3 stars is because I felt like my food could have had more flavor but overall I had a nice experience at this place. The waitress and I had a nice back and fourth, my family was well cared for and watered regularly, and the food overall was decent.
Thank you for having vegan cake donuts and not just yeast donuts!

Best Tofu Scramble Ever

Love that they have a whole separate vegan menu! Tofu scramble with avocado was the best I’ve ever had. Wholeheartedly recommend and great for groups with a variety of dietary preferences.

Pros: Vegan menu

Tasty Vegan Options

I chose this place specifically because they had both vegan and non-vegan options (for my husband). The vegan menu is a full page long! I had the vegan breakfast sandwich with “cheese and bacon” and a side home fries- it was delicious and my husband was happy with his dish as well. Only complaint we had about the food was the home fries were a bit salty, but they were still edible.
It is a cute diner booming with energy and busy. Parking stinks though. No parking out front so you need to find on street metered parking elsewhere.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Separate vegan menu, Pricing comparable to non vegan foods- no upcharg

Cons: No parking lot, No parking out front

So Yummy!

Right away they asked if anyone needed a vegan menu without us having to ask. So many options I wanted to try so will have to come back several times to experiment. Everything I ate was delicious: chocolate covered strawberry waffles, Mac & cheese with buffalo chix, breakfast sandwich with sausage and side of potatoes (I split everything in case you're wondering how I ate all this)...except for the donut which was solid but had a strange flavor to it. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised. Take a look at the menu and try not to drool. And then eat the food and try not to order too much 😋

Pros: Full vegan menu, Delicious!, Variety

Cons: Only con is not being fully vegan, Oh, and also the donut I had
