Had a great time at this spot. Food was really good. Had the Lavender and Cornflower Iced Tea, Elote nachos and a Gyro. I would definitely recommend this place if you are searching for a raw, vegan, gluten free restaurant.

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.

LOVE this spot & what they have to offer! Recently tried their gyro plate off of their September Vegan Chef Challenge menu & was so satisfying 🤌🏼 I feel like I have to go back & get it once more before its gone bc Im not sure if it will be a permanent menu item! 🌯 The corn & flax wrap that they use instead of a pita blew my mind bc it was SO tastey & held all the walnut & sun-dried tomato based meaty goodness, cashew tzatziki & onions inside so perfectly ~ this handheld was a picture of perfection that just delighted my lil' gluten-free heart 🤤 After I devoured it, I wished there was more (Seriously I could've ate double.. can we put more meaty goodness in there? lol) & with the full plate, I got to try both sides of the tossed Mediterranian style salad w/ homemade vegan feta crumbles & apple citrus salad. Everything was so fresh & vibrant! That feta was delicious, tho I had to crumble it a bit, I was so impressed with how tastey it was. The dressing was flavorful & light. & the fresh fruits with cinnamon drizzle was such a treat. I couldn't have asked for a better lunch 💙 🥃 Also loved the fruity apple cider iced tea that I picked up for just $2 bucks! Love me some fresh tea, it was so refreshing & the little cup of raw agave they gave me to sweeten it was perfect! All in all I highly recommend this spot, one of the ONLY all raw, all vegan, all GF cafes in the greater Chicagoland area! They have a huge menu & you can tell that everything is made mindfully & with yummy in mind. Being someone who lives on a budget, I'm choosey in where I spend my dollars as I can't afford to splurge on take out all the time ~ for the average low-income person their menu can be a tad pricey 🙈 (my only discontent) But the offerings here are worth it, especially considering its organic & scatch-made, your belly wont be disappointed & neither will your peace of mind. I wish I could've gotten more, so much I want to try! Omgosh I havent even tried the deserts yet! Such good vibes in this food & the owner/staff are friendly too! 🙌🏽 Thank you for a great experience! Cant wait to visit again 💯

I'm not a vegan, but I like trying new places, especially locally owned. I was surprised that the burger is served cold - but it was good - just a learning experience for me :-) Nice selection of hot teas. The ambience is sweet.
