Fabulous fresh, wholesome vegetarian food. A few meals at this place and you can almost feel yourself getting healthier (though the fact that they refuse to give out calorie/fat information makes me a little wary as vegetarians/vegans already have a marked problem with cholesterol due to the amount of nuts consumed).
ANYWAY, whether your hungover or sick or just need to water those vocal cords, a hefty part of the drink selection is advertised like a medicine cabinet (flu fighter, liver flush, singer's saving grace....). The vegetable juices are healthy and a great way to justify a side of fries or dessert. I myself prefer the following smoothies: chai chiller or mango ginger lassi.
On to the FOOD!
The rice bowls are huge and fabulous. You can't really go wrong with any of them, just make sure that you like the ingredients. The energy and buddha bowls are my favorite. The energy bowl (along with the warrior one too) is warm and savory - perfect for a chilly day or as comfort food. The buddha bowl is served cool but is loaded with a fabulous thai peanut sauce that gives me my peanut fix and silences my yearning for decent pad thai in this city.
The burgers are all pretty good. The patties like grain and vegetable and have a very homemade feel as opposed to the typical veggie soy glue served elsewhere. The BBQ burger, I must warn, is rather crunchy and dry so get extra sauce or something added. The mushroom burger is the best and I just ask for extra sauces from the BBQ one.
The wraps are really solid particularly the avocado and tofu one. I highly recommend adding the toasted nuts and seeds to give a perfect crunch.
MINUS one star for being too rigid when it comes to customizing. Getting them to replace sprouts with even lettuce renders me an extra few dollars on my bill for a "substitution." Seriously, lettuce for sprouts? Or grilled tomato for raw tomato.
It's also hard not to pick up on the slight haughtiness that the vegetarian-environmentalist IMF-protesting egalitarian staff exude. I think it adds to that typical hippie vibe.
