| - I stopped by to check this out per recommendation of a new friend who's vegan/veg. It's always nice to go to a place where I know that there are things my son can eat. It's a rather large place, with a register in the very front, a long salad bar (think Whole Foods) in the middle, some tables and big, comfy booths. There's also a small dessert case and some books, snacks and supplements for purchase. All vegan.
Before stopping in, I checked out the menu so I was pretty sure of what we wanted- just a snack to share and a smoothie. We ordered the Cheese Fries and a large Berry Good smoothie. The portion was small. Extremely small, for $8. As was the $8 smoothie. I would have hated to see what the actual small smoothie size looked like.
We got 2 or 3 normal sized waffle fries and the rest were like the remnants in the bottom of the bag, which only took up 1/3 of a small salad plate. They weren't crispy. At all. In fact, and I even hate to say it, but they were soggy. The vegan cheese was melted (as much as it can be). It was like they put them in a microwave. I buy the Alexia waffle fries and the same vegan cheeses they have, and use them on a daily basis, so I know what's up.. My son, who's the fry king, didn't even want to eat them. That might not really mean anything to you, but that speaks volumes to me. He's legit a fry critic. If they are actually good, he'll wolf them down. But he doesn't like soggy fries. Sorry. The pico and guac were meh. It seemed like there wasn't anything on the plate that was made in house. But there were micro greens decorating the plate.
The smoothie was good. It's hard to mess up a smoothie though. But for $8, I can't believe at how small it was. I'm going to give them another shot because I do really want to like it and it's somewhere that can accommodate all of our families food allergies/intolerances.
