When you have a Vegan meal and are left craving nothing, you know you have found a hidden gem.! I came for Tea and ended up with a whole meal. Everything looked and smelled so good I had to try it. The Black Bean Burger was good and the potatoes and vegan cheeses were amazing.!

Came in for lunch on a Saturday, it was busy but the service was quick. The food was very tasty and well put together. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. They have a great menu so you will definitely be able to find something.

We are not vegans, but I was desperate for some veges while on vacation in Santa Cruz and we decided to give it a try. The food blew us away. As others have mentioned, the portions are huge so my husband and I shared an appetizer, meal, and dessert and it was plenty. The caprese sandwich was swoon-worthy, as was the salad that accompanied it. Also recommend the key lime pie (though beware, it’s very filling!). Service was outstanding. Loved that we could eat outside. We will definitely come back here next time we are in town. A real gem!

Lovely, lovely, lovely. I left with a full belly and uplifted spirits. This place feels like a big hug. I had the black bean burger the first night with garlic fries and the caprese sandwich the second night with red pepper soup. I also had an almond butter truffle, camomile tea, and turmeric latte. I was blown away by the fresh juices too, so crisp and healthy! Thank you for your kindness, I can’t wait to come back!

Just awesome! We had the cauliflower wings as our appetizer, and they definitely did not disappoint! Super tasty! Then for our main course, we had the caprese sandwich and the black bean burger…both were very tasty and beautifully prepared! Then for dessert, we had the mint smoothie/milk shake, which was just fantastic! And an almond something chocolate truffle to top it off…perfect!

One of my favorite restaurants in downtown Santa Cruz CA. Yes, it is a vegan restaurant but I have brought carnivores here who loved the flavor and sauces! Tonight, I had a Caesar Salad ( recommend the large order so you have lunch for the next day ) and also ordered the I am Whole bowl with 1/2 quinoa and 1/2 brown rice.I just feel so healthy and energized after eating here. The servers are very knowledgeable of the menu and are courteous. Parking is available on street or in lot across the street. Smoothies are unique and the garlic toast is amazing. Plus the desserts are to die for!!! I took a couple of shots of the murals on the walls. I hope you enjoy this gem as much as I do!!!

They have a great menu, I was under the impression that the menu would be the same as the cafe gratitude in LA but it’s not. Their drinks are the same but everything else is different. All the items are a little heavy in fat but they taste great and the portion sizes are huge. I would definitely suggest their side of potatoes, they are so crispy and go well with the cashew cheese sauce on top. They have very good hot drinks too.

Great vegan place. They have some nice selection of drinks ranging from smoothies, kombucha and coffee to craft beers and wine. Plenty of different bowls and salads. Sitting outside as well as inside. They also do takeout. You can find some desserts here as well.
