Nice to see a spot with strong vegetarian/vegan options. I got one of their signature meals and a side of Mac and cheese. Delicious. My only critique is it would be nice to have real silverware for those who are eating in. I was surprised to see a large natural wine selection and lots of prepared foods for take homes. Many people came in for wine and comparing notes with the staff.

What a pleasant surprise to find this place! Tofu was great but the carrot hummus stoled the show! Thank you for great food!

This is a great spot for lunch. It’s quick and tasty. You can build your own bowl or order from the fixed menu. They have a great selection of craft beer and wine. Also, they serve gluten-free desserts made in-house.

A real hidden gem! I’ve only been once, but the experience made a lasting impression. The food options were delicious and unique compared to any other restaurants nearby, the ice cream sandwiches are huge, and the drink selection is full of options you otherwise couldn’t get here. Will definitely be visiting again!

The girls/ladies who work here treated me with such an attitude of disdain and contempt that it was actually quite hilarious. Like why be like that bro

I have given this place 3 tries. Each time the warm foods were cold and not good. Way over priced for the portion size, even with todays economy. I ordered balsamic chicken and roasted broccoli. I could not chew either into a consistency to swallow. I kindly asked for a smoothie to replace it. The owner made it and brought it to me, as she glared and shoved it forward to me. There was a price difference, but she just started walking away. I asked for the difference and she did it very visibly reluctantly. I told her I’d been in before.. she said nothing. I will absolutely not be back. Very disappointing because I like to patronize local, privately owned businesses. I usually only give reviews when it’s good, but I felt she may have done something to my smoothie by the look I was getting from her. Her energy was not good.

When in the area this weekend, we visited this restaurant based on reviews on Google that seemed to be that this restaurant was very vegan friendly. There were indeed many vegan options as well as a very friendly and inviting staff that was very knowledgeable on their menu and what was available as vegan options. The food we chose was very fresh and delicious. When in Florence we will definitely be back.
