| - Sorry fellow Vegans but this place is a HUGE THUMBS DOWN!
I'm actually AMAZED this place has so many good reviews. Like...HOW?!? Could it be the tourists who are distracted by the atmosphere? Could it be the hipsters that are distracted by all the "hype"? Who knows. But as for me, it's quite annoying to go to a restaurant that is all about the "facade" & not quality food. Perhaps I'm just spoiled being with a chef and all, but my god my 10 year old cousin could've prepared a tastier meal! I can't even trust yelp reviews anymore cause people have absolutely no idea what good food is!! ?
I ordered the "Food not bombs bowl" (since the sever said it's "larger" & more "flavorful" than the burrito I thought about getting). My bf ordered the "Stuffed French toast". Btw, we actually wanted to order the biscuits & gravy and the waffles but they were apparently "sold out". Um, seriously??? He was disappointed before he even tasted it because of the presentation. He thought it was a kids meal. (And yes, it was VERY small for the price!) His fruit was also not fresh. He thought the French toast was mediocre. And no - it's not "stuffed" like the menu says. It's just jam spread between two pieces of bread. No offense but ihop & Denny's has WAY better looking French toast. (AND NO WE DO NOT EAT AT IHOP OR DENNY'S just giving an accurate comparison!)
As for mine, after one bite I knew I couldn't finish the rest. For starters, the tortillas looked, felt & tasted stale. They were not warm whatsoever! It comes with black bean chili, scrambled tofu, spiced potatoes, vegan cheese, & avocado with chipotle cream. Sounds pretty effin' amazing, right?! ..WRONG! Sadly, the only warm part of my meal were the potatoes at the very bottom. The meal actually consisted of 99% potatoes & beans. And it was totally TASTELESS! I just think if you're going to pay $11 for a meal at the very LEAST it should be fresh & hot. ?
I REALLY wanted to like this place! I do love the ambience & decor. I love seeing vegan restaurants & especially successful ones! However, as a paying customer & passionate foodie I just don't appreciate getting ripped off. Luckily, they get TONS of traffic in there that love the hype no matter what their food tastes like. But if you actually appreciate fresh, hot, filling, savory meals & getting what you PAY for.. I would skip this one.
