This place is incredible! I think literally everything on the menu can be made vegan. My partner got the cheese pizza, and it was so incredibly good and hit the spot. Does strawberry milkshake was insane - I cannot believe how good it was, the non-dairy ice cream they used was outstanding. Literally everything we tried was amazing and I can't imagine that there's anything on their menu that isn't. I really feel like this place could trick any meat eater with how good their stuff is!

Cute little greenery decor. Yummy food choices for both vegans and vegetarians. The simple chicken sandwich was yummy especially with the vegan mayo!

Such amazing food and wonderful service. Great location to sit and people watch. Had the Philly cheese steak and vegan shrimp and both were really good. Such wonderful fries! Nice to see the long lines to dine there. Definitely need to return and eat here again.
