| - Can't remember the last time I was here, but if you like vegan food, this place is pretty good!
I tried this place a few years ago, prior to their expansion, and I remember it being a pretty good place. The only reason why I haven't gone back is because its a good 25-30 minute drive from my house. It's located on the corner of Sahara and Buffalo. This little trendy lookin' place is good for lunch or dinner, or maybe just some desert or a coffee. They serve sandwiches, paninis, wraps, pizzas, salads, pasta, and rice plates all of which can be served up vegan. They have specials for November, but I ended up ordering the Chicken Provolone, which had chicken, spinach, roasted tomato, basil, provolone and pesto dressing grilled between two slices of whole wheat bread. It came with a choice of chips or salad all for about $8; pretty cheap, considering the size of the plate and the freshness of the veggies. To me, it tasted slightly bland, but not enough for me to complain. I heard from another patron, that the specials were pretty good, so I'll probably give that a whirl next time around.
The service was so-so. Granted, it was really busy--peak lunch hours (1:00pm). My server tried to be attentive, but with the influx of customers that trolled in, I felt like she was flustered. I was surprised I found a table. If you're coming in here around this time, get here early and just anticipate to wait a little just so you can forewarn your belly.
So... the main thing that brought me to give this place 4 stars (and almost pushed me to 5... almost) were their vegan desserts. OMG, their vegan desserts. It's like heaven in your mouth. Their dessert case displayed a wide variety of cakes; each one, based on what the lady behind the counter had told me, were under 200 calories (say what?! lol). I asked her a little bit about her preference and what was popular, etc, etc, to try to narrow down my options (seriously, there's so many cakes I had no idea which to choose from). Apparently, the vanilla chocolate chip cake and red velvet are among the popular ones. I ended up choosing the lemon cake along side my espresso. It was delicious; moist and dense, with a light and sweet topping that had lemon rind bits mixed into it. I also brought home their vegan chocolate chip cookies: tasty, not sweet, soft, chewy, slightly crisp around the edges, not too many chocolate chips---perfect.
Definitely would go here again. Wish it weren't too far. Wish it weren't too crowded. I wanna try their breakfast for sure!
