I warmed up in B52 with a friend over lunch on a brisk winter day.
The two sets of doors keep everyone toasty and eliminate that gust of cold air when people come and go. Our server greeted us upon entering and sat us immediately. The dining area was very clean. The seating was close to other tables to feel intimate, but not close enough to hear their conversations. The kitchen area is open, so we could see the food being prepared. The restaurant has the vibe of being in a friend's kitchen.
We both ordered almondmilk maple lattes, each had a little leaf artwork on the top layer. We both ordered the avocado toast, which was on thick grainy bread and heavily drizzled with tahini sauce. My friend ordered the shitakke mushrooms on the bed of kale and I had the lentil soup with preserved lemon (special of the day). Everything was the correct temperature. The serving sizes were just enough: you leave feeling satiated, but not with a doggy bag. The pacing is great for catching up with a friend, mid-work day.
I look forward to trying their dessert or brunch next time I visit.
B52 makes simply makes delicious vegan food.
