Pleasantly surprised

If I’m honest, I avoid raw food places because I thought it would be bad but we were hungry and the food here was amazing. We played it safe and got the avocado toast and the bruschetta and it was honestly the best we’ve ever had! I wish I got something a little more elaborate to see what that would’ve been like.

Rudest staff member

I’m really sad to write this review, the food is really great, I’ve been several times before, but today my visit was let down by an extremely hostile staff member.
He was rude from the moment my friend and I walked in. I asked the prices of some items that did not have prices marked, and he acted like it was a huge inconvenience to check the till to let me know the prices, and was generally rude and hostile for the whole visit. I’m sure he was having a bad day but that is no excuse to treat customers poorly.

5 stars

The food here was phenomenal. The food had so much flavor and was very creative. I picked out an amazing vanilla milk from the prepackaged juices.

Pros: In the downtown area perfect for before/after club, Delicious , Creative and from scratch menu items

Cons: Pricy

Honey, why oh why?!

This restaurant could be perfect, no question about it!

Instead honey, horrific honey is still incorporated (needlessly). Please in the name of bees, switch to maple syrup, agave, the list goes on.

Honey is made by bees for bees, and their health can be sacrificed when it is harvested by humans.

Mass breeding of honeybees affects the populations of other competing nectar-foraging insects, including other bees. Overwhelmed by the ever-inflating quantities of farmed bees, the numbers of native bumblebees have declined.

We enjoyed our meals but do not feel comfortable having our money support bee deaths and exploitation. Please go vegan!

Pros: large menu, great atmosphere, awesome location

Cons: honey, price, honey

Good restaurant, but not vegan

They are not a vegan restaurant as they serve honey. On their website, they say that "The best way to protect the bees is supporting organic farms and not purchasing any foods with pesticides." Another great way would be to not steal bee's honey.

That said the food is good and there are a lot of choices. The place is clean and nice.

Pros: Food quality, Choice

Cons: Use of animal products, Parking, Very small

Incredibly delicious and sophisticated raw dishes

Wow. We are licking our chops after a stunningly tasty meal. We both started with soup: broccoli lime and veggie noodle which were fabulously seasoned, and they are steam warmed which makes the flavors dance on your tongue. Then we had the basil pesto pasta which was warm and sumptuous and literally melt in your mouth goodness and the flat earth pizza which was a symphony of harmonious flavors.

Pros: Tons of options , Incredible desserts, Organic and Whole Foods

Cons: Pizza portion is very small

Eclectic menu with great options.

From burgers, sushi, pizza, salad, bowls to fresh juices, teas and coffees this place is great. They also have home made ice creams and desserts.

Pros: The sushi was surprisingly good , Juices, smoothies and ice cream were great , The breakfast wrap was delish

Fresh, good flavors & quality

Great variety, love the quality & freshness of the food. Everything was beautifully plated, too. The decor was bright and beautiful. Only downside was the food being cold (which comes with the raw food territory, but I wished some of what I had was more room-temperature instead of chilled). Overall good place for creative, raw vegan options.

Pros: Fresh, quality ingredients , All vegan, Good service

Not a vegan restaurant

I was very conflicted giving this review but after seeing so many vegans writing glowing reviews on how may vegan options there are, I had to write something. If you’re a vegan that consider that bees are animals and that bee keeping is not only unethical but also believe that honey is a cruel animal product, then you will not think there are that many vegan options. There are a few and the staff is super honest and tell you which items are vegan and which are not. They have ice cream and not a single flavor was vegan because all of them had honey. Very disappointing. The other problem was the prices. $15 for a raw panini 🤨 $9 for a bottle of juice? I’m sorry but I’ve had better.

Again, the staff was super friendly, professional and efficient. The food was served very fast and they were very accommodating. However, I don’t think I will be returning.

Pros: Some vegan options , Tasty food, Super friendly staff

Cons: Not a vegan restaurant , Almost everything has honey, Expensive

I hope my marriage is just as good...

Creative, humane, and uber-delicious! I am seriously deciding whether to relocate from Seattle to LA just to try all of the items on this menu.

What I had tried:
After the Tuna Sandwich and the Jalapeno Poppers, the Puablo Wrap was ordered for takeout. Every physical contact was a ride to flavor orgasm. They consumed my attention fully and left me wanting more even when it’s time to part. This is how polygamy happens. There are too many good options out there and you are either too indecisive or a lover of life. To be honest, Jalapeno Popper isn’t my type, but I forgive him anyway because I know he is objectively good.

Cons: I can be made poor by this restaurant

Fresh

Ordered for delivery, and was EXTREMELY impressed. The food all tasted SO fresh and delicious. Not over processed or bogged down with salt like a lot of vegan restaurants. I felt good after eating it. Much like when I cook for myself. We tried the jalapeño poppers, shiitake mushroom pasta, tortilla soup, the ultra violet smoothie, and the cacao ceremony smoothie. All were good. The soup was spicy and smooth, the pasta was creamy and rich, the smoothies were sweet (ultra violet), and hearty (cacao), and the jalapeño poppers were just fun. Lots of variety, and very fresh tasting foods. I’ll definitely be coming here again.

Pros: Tons of vegan options, Great smoothies

Cons: Expensive

Great dinner!

We ordered 4 dishes for 3 of us to split and it was plenty of food. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I especially liked the kale salad and the pesto pasta. My husband is allergic to walnuts and they were so helpful making sure that everything we ordered was safe for him to eat. Everything is gluten free so I could eat everything on the menu...yay! It’s a big menu and I’m eager to come back to try other dishes.

Pros: All vegan, Gluten free, Helpful workers

Cons: Downtown parking
