| - out of the, say, 50 times I've been here, the service has sucked 90% of the time. chalk it up to that cool baby, hipster clientele, but servers here just love to suck it up.
...didn't stop my from working there my last semester in college - i was burnt out on working and school full time and needed a job that let me take it easy- this was the place.
I've seen things that i would probably get in trouble for writing about as an employee, but all i can say is last time i went there, they weren't serving booze anymore - and i would bet they lost their license.
BUT, crappy service and lame owners aside, the food is great. very unpredictable because quality control is not their strong point, but good.
and EVERYTHING - aside from the obvious ham and cheese, is vegan or can be made vegan (i.e, order the pad Thai sans egg, etc.). this is a good veggie, vegan joint, but it's not all rabbit food, there's pork and chicken, but no beef for the meat eaters.
i recommend:
Plaid Thai noodles (one of my favorite places to get them)
Hummus foldover (Ezekiel bread, hummus and veggies, yum!)
Plaidtanes (plaintains...sooooo yummy)
peanut sauce and chips
mozzarella and spinach salad (this is a tough one - sometimes i get huge chunks of moz, other times, a few tiny thin slices....one time it came out with regular lettuce instead of spinach, like i said, quality control not so hot)
breakfast - yes, they serve potatoes and breakfast sandwiches that are pretty good
red light curry -spicy and delicious
veggie steak sandwich is NOT good
oh, and they used to have vegan cakes and pies, which is pretty cool. they also have free WI-fi and a coffee bar. come to think of it, it's such a rad little joint, it just sucks it's so poorly managed...
decor is nice, concrete floors, couches and arm chairs and magazines for spending a day here. Chinese lanterns and local artists featured on the walls. a five-chair bar area. big booths and thrift store random table sets.
