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.

Fell in love as soon as I walked through the door. The fresh breakfast aroma filled my soul and made my mouth drool. The coffee was amazing and hit the spot. The selection is vast and the staff is welcoming. The small-town feel is captured in this establishment.
I was cautiously optimistic about getting breakfast here, and while my family didn't like it, I was not on the same line as them. This place is refreshingly basic. There isn't a whole lot going on, taste wise, just the simplistic flavors expected with the items served with them. Now this isn't to say their food is bland, I would say, back to basics. Instead of using sugar with their oats, it was maple syrup and on the side were nuts, fruits and not a pinch of salt that I could taste. This is just a taste of what you can expect. Don't expect to have a whirlwind of flavors, I think they did it right, leaving it simple. The 3 stars is for the outrageous cost and markup on these basic dishes. I don't think I will return, when these are so basic a dish that a child could make them. Still, was refreshing. I'm at a toss up. I give them a 3.5.

Ordered houdini and didn't get everything that menu says it has, when asking the staff about it they handed me a side dish that was already setting on the counter that contained the cold toppings that was showed to be on the hot sandwich.
