Great vegetarian and vegan selection. Loved everything we tried. Large portions. Friendly owner. I wish I lived closer, but will definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: Ask about gluten-free options. We tried the nachos. Delicious! Dessert options were also both vegan and gluten-free.

Food was great! However, I ordered a burrito and got a burger. Probably half my fault for not checking the to go box before driving away. Very tasty burger all the same! Can't wait to return to try more.Vegetarian options: All vegan!
