I tried this place today for my first time. I thought It’s a little on the expensive side until I got my sandwich I had the hot pastrami , it was so loaded with pastrami it was hard to take a full bite. I could only eat half of it. Really enjoyed the potato chips that came with it. Had the other half for dinner Worth every penny. I will definitely return

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.

People were friendly and the space was adorable. I really loved how the interior felt like you were outside, and the murals were super fun. That being said, the amount of food you get for the price definitely leaves a lot to be desired, and the taste doesn't cover that difference. I got the Nutty Vegetarian, which features sliced apples and sunflower seeds. Normally this combination of sweet and salty would be excellent, but it was overshadowed by the apples having a bitter aftertaste. It's very cool that they seem to make their own chips in house, but those are extremely salty to the point I couldn't eat more than just a couple. Overall the experience was okay, but not one I would go out of my way to repeat.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I can’t recommend it. From walking in the door to getting our food took nearly an hour. We requested both orders to go, only one of them came that way. My potato salad was bland with very little flavor, and the hot pastrami was sub-par, especially at $18 for a sandwich. The chips were good and I could tell they are made in-house, they were the only thing that had any noticeable flavor, along with maybe the pickle. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I am not particularly inclined to return. I hesitate to leave a negative review on a small local business, and I respect the work they do for the live music scene in Corvallis, but I would not recommend anyone I know eat here. I know this is a hard industry, but quite frankly your time and money are better spent other places in Corvallis if you are looking for quality or affordable food.
