My wife and I stopped in since we were in the area. This place is dripping with charm. They have rotating local artists hang their work on the wall for sale and had some prints of the originals. They have a lot of great food choices but I got the vegan Cuban because I don't know if I have ever seen a vegan Cuban before. It was delicious, I want to come back and try their Reuben. We also got the cheese spread platter appetizer and that was great as well. 10/10 would recommend

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.

Absolutely loved our visit! It was our first time and we felt genuinely welcomed by the owners. We enjoyed some great conversation in addition to amazing food. The menu was varied with something for everyone. We both had a hard time choosing what to get! My omni husbo loved his Cuban! The herb spreadable cheese was delicious and we loved the fruits and nuts that came on the platter. We just had water but will try some teas next time we are in. We loved the featured artists' work and ended up purchasing a new piece.

My girlfriend and I went last weekend and it was very good! Julieann and Dennis are so thoughtful and remember my girlfriend from her farmer's market visits. The atmosphere is cute with local art and videos of live music playing. We got spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was yummy and made me nostalgic for the last time I had it before I was vegan. I got the pesto panini with lemon pepper chickun and my girlfriend got the new breaded pork tenderloin sandwich! The sandwiches were so delicious and we will definitely be back to get them again or to try something else because the menu has so many delicious options. Thank you Julieann and Dennis! You guys are so sweet and I'm grateful for a local vegan restaurant in Lafayette, Indiana!
