| - I was not sure what to expect with this place but I told my girlfriend they had Vegan donuts and on a rainy, cold Sunday in Phoenix it seemed like the perfect time to drop in.
Pulling up and entering this place I felt like I was in Eugene, OR. This place seems like it SHOULD be in Eugene(if you have ever been there you know what I am talking about). It's great it is in Phoenix, but I did not know places like this existed in this desert city, just Eugene.
Things are casual, I get the feeling that everyone crammed inside knows everyone else - but they don't know me. Sometimes I felt like people are staring at me, judging, maybe because I was wearing a Helly Hansen slicker(it was cold and raining, I don't get to wear it much) and that was against their ideologies, maybe I was just paranoid, I don't know. I am a vegan, trying to get my degree in Sustainability from ASU and buy shit off Etsy, etc so don't give me that "look" ok?
Of course they are out of Vegan donuts....errr.... they did not even get any that day? The friendly dude working lets us know about the Vegan Breakfast Burrito, what's this you say?! Bingo. It was a long 10 minute wait and I was not expecting much but it was actually very good. Came with tortillas chips and salsa all for $6, hard to beat that. The salsa...wow....out of everything here I was not expecting to be blown away by the salsa but it was good!!! Tasted like Carolina's salsa so maybe they just ripped them off but whatever, kudos.
I almost forgot the best part. While we were waiting for our burrito some lady was going off about cereal. Something about the marketing, colors and how they pushed the toy but then the toy you got sucked, etc, etc. It was quite the anti-corporation rant and was quite interesting, albeit hard to keep up with - I think she had one too many cafe latte's.
I definitely want to come back here to try out the vegan donuts and also I didn't get to check out the "library" in the back which seems very interesting. The place was a bit messy outside, I guess they could clean it up some but I don' t really think anyone gives a f*ck and why should they - stick it to The Man.
