“I stopped here when I was in Chicago for work right around Thanksgiving.”

I stopped here when I was in Chicago for work right around Thanksgiving. Y'all! I was so hungry! It's hard to find a plant-based restaurant that's convenient. I was thankful for the kindness of the employee walking me through the menu in order for me to make a good pick. I settled on sweet potato fries and a sandwich...delicious! I wasn't overstuffed and was full. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and clean. Check them out if you're in the area! My only issue, parking is not the best. There is a parking garage across the street.

I love both locations!! The food is good I went to this location today on my way back home and IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! I came all the way out from Cleveland,OH and it’s so good the last time I was here was last month at the other location and I order the snack wraps and this time I had the egg burrito it was AMAZING!!

Wow. I was blown away by this place. I got the buffalo salad bowl and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. The iced tea was fantastic too. I'm so full but don't feel disgusting. The atmosphere was stunning and the staff super friendly! I wish we had a spot like this in Ontario!

“Clean cafe and the bathrooms were too, Great customer service, I can tell they love what they do.”

Clean cafe and the bathrooms were too, Great customer service, I can tell they love what they do. I ordered what they recommended which was the Santa Fe wrap (chorizo), a side of crispy fries that were seasoned well and an iced Intelligentsia coffee. The Santa Fe was so delis, I forgot it was vegan. Charmaine and staff keep up the good work! 👍🏼

“Great spot for yummy vegan fast food with friendly staff and plenty of options.”

Great spot for yummy vegan fast food with friendly staff and plenty of options. Breakfast all day and some healthier choices like smoothies, salads and bowls too. The buffalo cauliflower bowl is incredible. I enjoyed everything I tried—so much so that I inhaled most of it before remembering to take photos haha

“This place is so amazing.”

This place is so amazing! Excellent service, delicious food/smoothies, and awesome vibes/music. Wish I could rate it more. I split a burger so I could try two and soooo good. The presentation was better before I cut it!

“Good, BUT - Such a good spot.”

Good, BUT - Such a good spot! I want to give them a lower rating but it’s really only one thing they need to work on and I feel like they don’t deserve a lower rating for that. But, I’ve been here dozens of times, and every time, they love to asSAuLT the fries. Yes, I spelled that correctly with the capitalization. It’s like they dump the potatoes in the Dead Sea for a few weeks for extra sodium. Must be pretty expensive to ship potatoes back and forth from that region of the world, but if it was good enough to save original texts of the Bible, it’s good enough to preserve potatoes….

We were in Chicago for the day and this place was recommended to us by a staff person from a vintage store we were at way across town and they told us it was worth the drive and they didn’t lie! The food was very fair priced, flavorful and fresh. The restaurant was clean and cozy, with a modern hip vibe but not pretentious and the bathrooms were very clean- also love that the bathrooms were marked “All Genders” as it’s always nice to feel seen and accepted in a public space. I was so happy to have big beautiful windows to look out on the street while we ate but enjoyed the air conditioning on this 97 degree day. The staff were so kind and offered me a bag and take out extras when I asked for a lid for my bowl to take back to our hotel. I highly recommend this place for a fresh and local spot to have lunch. Great bowls and salads! The person next to us was eating a burger and it looked awesome as well. And they have good french fries too!
