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.

YUM! This place was AMAZING and crazy cheap! My husband, daughter, and I got dinner, drinks, and dessert for just over $20! Yes please. Great decision on our quick drive through Iowa!
Ordered the pesto, bubly mango and a scotcharoo and, the pasta came fairly quick! The girl at the register was very sweet and patient while I made my choice. I got a small portion and the cheese they sprinkled on top was great. Definitely get the scotcharoo! They're so worth the $2.79! Super yummy and not melty or messy in the slightest. And despite the construction outside, it still felt comfy. Definitely intend to come back!

Food wasn't really good, the noodles were overly soft and didn't have any texture. Veggies were small and overly soft too. It seems like it was all old food. The portions are weird too, the small and regular seems to be the same size just put into a different bowl.
