| - Based on Yelp reviews I was like, "Okay, don't expect great service but expect great food." The service was perfectly fine but the food.... This is where I'm conflicted about Yelp because is it fair for me to write this review after only one visit? Then again, life is short and money doesn't grow on trees so maybe one experience is very telling - why come back if it wasn't great?
So, they were out of the biscuits and gravy which is 95% the reason I came but what was weird is that it was only 10:00 on a Sunday morning. Were they not going to make more any time soon...? I ended up getting a vegan waffle and acai bowl. My bf got an omelette.
The waffle was not good at all. I'm sure people are excited and giving it good reviews because it's gluten free, vegan, and has protein in it but it just was not a good waffle. Getting that combo of things is possible and tricky but I could have done it at home so if I'm paying a place to make it for me, I expect it to be great. The waffle was really, really mushy and the flavor was lacking. I added coconut but couldn't tell that there was any in there. And then the acai bowl...$8 for acai and granola? Most places include some bananas, berries, coconut or chia. It wasn't smooth at all and was sort of just plopped into the bowl all messy looking with granola. I didn't even bother taking a picture. Obviously, this entire place is about eating nutrient dense and efficiently so I understand not dressing up food because food is fuel not for decoration but, damn, maybe take 2 seconds to shake the bowl and make it flat and presentable? But again, it's the cost of $8 for a bowl of almost nothing.
The omelette my bf got with veggies he said was good but didn't have anything. No garnish, no toast, no nothing? So yeah, again, I know it's not about being fancy but it was just kind of like...oh... We ended up spending $26 and I'm pretty bummed about that because it's a lot of money, it wasn't good food, and we don't eat out much so it was supposed to be a treat and it ended up being a huge fail. Now, some of the other things look really good. I still want to try the biscuits and gravy and the pizza but Idk, it's pricey and I have a bad taste in my mouth after this experience.
