Awesome value.

Great for your vegetarian friends, too.

Tasty. Be sure to load on that orange hot sauce on the table.

Burritos are the way to go....although the salmon quinoa is interesting sounding...it can be somewhat dry.

The back patio is usually…More »

Service was 8/10. Waitresses are all those hot vegan hipster types - which I'm super attracted to / annoyed by. Duality of man.

Fresh makes healthy food enjoyable.

Fresh makes less healthy food (yet still veg) even more enjoyable.

Tried a great new sandwich. The Falafel with Donair sauce. Donair gets capitalized because it's that good.

Always grab a chicken or veg samosa to munch while I'm waiting for the sandwich (3 minutes is a struggle when I'm hungry).

Also: Rice pudding.…More »
