Miso Garlic Toast
Thick cut potato sourdough toasted with house made chickpea miso garlic butter. So stupid, stupid good.

Very delicious every time. We are always impressed by the amazing flavors and thought that clearly goes into each dish. Friendly staff, timely service and some of the best food in town! The burger is a must try and the specials are always awesome as well.

Stopped in for a mid-morning sparkling botanical tea and loved that that was even an option. Menu looked great although I did not order any food. Appreciated the large outdoor seating area that was covered (even on the sides which greatly cut down road noise) and had good music! Nice chill spot.

Exceeded expectations. Four of us had brunch on a Sunday morning; two are vegans.

Great spot for some vegan fare. Our girls (4 & 7) love it here. Fermenter burger is exceptional. Whether you are vegan or not, this place hits the spot. If you ever see the miatake BBQ burger on the menu, order 2!

Lovely spot! Food was on point delicious, but still somehow healthy at the same time (that’s my favorite kind of food). Friendly staff. Highly recommend the bowl with all three sauces. Kombucha on tap!

I loved the food at this restaurant so much! Each dish has fermented foods and you can tell how much effort must have gone into adding such great flavors to each dish! Can’t wait to go eat there again!

I liked my oyster sandwich and the kombucha but I couldn’t believe they served big pieces of fresh kale leaves. Who would eat that? I thought kale had to be massaged with oil or dressing?

Fresh and flavorful bites! Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. We ended up having a great time chatting up our table neighbors while we compared our yummy bites.

We were curious about this restaurant and read the website. I read all the values and got emotional. It was incredible to see a business that is growth focused, self aware, and focused on impact.
