Very nice cafe. We were advised to go there for its special food and we didn’t regret it. We had 2 different juices (both of them were amazing) and a salad, which was very delicious. Interior is very interesting and colourful. The only complaint is about staff. The guy at the cashier was not focusing on our order. We repeated twice, but rether, he was staring at us. Then the girl mixed up our juice, but instead of hot, she brought it cold. Management really need to train their people better! Otherwise, food is special, fresh, and tasty!

The quality control at this location is abysmal. About 50% of the time the veggies are going off and the sauces are flavorless. But if you’re lucky enough to catch them on a good day it’s decent food if over priced.

This place have so many healthy options at a reasonable price! And to top that off the flavor profile of each dish is nicely balanced. The sweet potato is a hidden gem of this place too. The service was (5/5)

This organic restaurant is an awesome place to visit , the environment is a soft, and very nature place the food and smoothies are awesome, when I go I always get an adventure bowl full of veggies and quinoa brown rice so tasteful must get, if you go . The staff is friendly and it’s in the heart of Salem so if you go you can take a stroll through Salem after you fill your gut with some nature , love it

Clean, pretty restaurant with friendly staff and very welcoming atmosphere. But the food- the food is SO good. The swami bowl hits all the right flavors and textures for me, I’d eat it every day if I could!

We had a Thai bowl, which was outstanding. A butternut squash soup, which was not my favorite, but still warming. Golden milk and peanut butter smoothie ‘Elvis’ were both delicious. They made the smoothie sweeter for my kid, who finished the whole thing. Would be good to have one or two sweet options for picky eater kiddos.

This place is so poorly managed. The food quality is inconsistent. They are ALWAYS leaving out ingredients listed on the menu. ALWAYS. 90% of the time the drinks are watered down. And I know I’m not the only one feeling this way. Go through the reviews and you will see this pattern repeating for months!! Constant complaints about missing ingredients, inconsistent portion sizes and watered down drinks. But it’s not getting fixed!! It still happens on a regular basis!! Why?! I’d love to be a fly on the wall for a day and see how this place is “managed.” What a shame. It could be so much better than what it is.

Amazing vegetarian and vegan food. Great service. Good prices. Ample portion sizes. Gorgeous wooden natural interior. Chill vibe and a book corner for adults and kids. Food is healthy and delicious. Highly recommend for veggie and non-veggie eaters alike.
