Not for vegans

The menu online doesn't match the menu in the restaurant. They have a single vegan option...currently a congee that's not particularly good. It's too lemony with raw onions.

The server said they could adjust other items to be vegan but wasn't able say what items. She said an egg scramble with egg-battered tofu was vegan, at which point I knew I could not trust her advice on what was vegan and what was not.

It's a bit too noisy inside to comfortably have conversation--lots of hard surfaces that reflect the sound, plus music a bit too loud for the space, then a restaurant full of people trying to speak over the music.

Great location and it's spacious inside. I can tell they're trying for a very nice comfy vibe but unfotrunately they're missing the mark.

Transparency gives motivation

Great food, great ambiance.
-beware of the manager, she's massively cold and controlling, reminds of a Virgo on steroids.
Has terrible communication skills, isn't detailed with pay or scheduling. Bad attitude. Would've been a great place to work if there was transparency, she wants slaves not workers.

Pros: Lemonade , Ambiance is aesthetically pleasing, Nice kitchen staff

Cons: The manager/owner, Lack of transparency with pay/scheduling, Terrible communication style, worse I've seen

Bright and happy corner cafe that works with vegans

Outdoor seating available on two sides of corner cafe and in the rear courtyard. Cute interior dining space (COVID-19 restrictions permitting) and takeout.

Several nice vegan options available including Kale it What You Want Bowl and vegetable curry (varying with seasons). They have a hearty quinoa salad and other items can be veganized such as Bahn mi. Plant based milks available for coffees/teas.

Pros: Cute cafe with outdoor seating, Friendly staff, Fresh ingredients
