We visited this great new addition to the neighborhood yesterday. Sidney was so nice and the food was fantastic. We shared nachos with jerk chicken and they were just the right comfort food with a kick that we needed. The pineapple lemonade drink was also very refreshing. Stop by to enjoy the bright murals as well as the food!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Coffee was smooth and the pastries were fresh. Super chill atmosphere.

A cozy and inviting space! It was a little busy when we ordered, but everything smelled delicious while cooking so we didn't mind the wait. I ordered the jerk chicken salad and the salmon panini. It was so good, the salmon was juicy and the bread absorbed all that flavor. And the salad -oh man- was amazing. I've never had a salad with jerk chicken on top, but the combo was great; the salad greens and the veggies picked up the jerk seasoning from the chicken. It was so refreshing, spicy, and filling at the same time. When the spice built up, I dabbed a little ranch on my fork and kept eating. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu!
