    Drunken Cowgirl, hands down. Plus they have just about every non-dairy milk option you would want for your morning latte.

    Service and food were amazing! I got the breakfast tofu scramble and my parents got the pancakes and philly cheese. Will come back!

    Reuben, almost macro bowl are solid options. Must try an egg cream or a milk shake (with added whip cream)!

    Delicious vegan and vegetarian diner fare. The wait can get insane on the weekends but it's worth it.

    With retro decor and a chilled, casual vibe, this is a popular spot among the locals – expect a short wait, though it is worth it. Read more

    Great service, classic counter dining and DELICIOUS vegan food. Try the vegan chili and grab a vegan pastry on your way out. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Get the Cubano. Do it. Do it now! Sorry if that came off pushy, I'm just looking out for you stranger. But for real, get the Cubano.

    Pricey. Breakfast better than other meals. Usually a wait but put your name down and head to a bar nearby.

    The menu offers a lot of variety, but ultimately lacks creativity. There are so many vegetables and legumes they could be using to create delicious dishes while staying away from the fake Chick'n etc

    The caulifire wings are so tasty and don’t skip on the Kickin Cowgirl and Cinnamon Swirl pancakes 💜

    Everything is vegan. The pear and Ginger scone is delicious: perfect balance of ginger and pear, not too strongly spiced, and the texture is perfectly crumbly without being dry. Thumbs up.

    The Mexican style bowl is dry, the meatball one is great with a side of roasted kale (mmm garlic).

    Everything looks delicious here! I had the burrito breakfast. But our server was rude. Friendly to other tables - maybe they were regulars?!

    Got the chicken and waffles...probably should have ordered something more nutritious. The waffles were crispy, and the soy chicken was good. It was regular diner level stuff, nothing mind blowing.

    The coffee is delicious and bottomless, food has never disappointed me and the service is incredibly friendly. Skip the Second Stop and walk a block further to Champs, it'll be worth it.

    I'm in love. If I never eat meat, dairy or eggs ever again, I'll be fine-- as long as the food is from this place.

    if you get the biscuits & gravy i highly suggest you sub sauteed greens for the standard salad for only +1, goes perfectly!

    These are the best vegan pancakes I've ever had. And I try them everywhere they're available. Hell of an establishment, this one.

    Croque Madame for brunch is delish! Their deserts are also mind-blowing. Only downside: Cash only.

    Underwhelming vegan breakfast/diner food. Pancakes were okay but tofu scramble just tasted of pepper and hash browns were very oily. Very friendly staff though!

    If you’re here for brunch, be prepared to wait. Get a donut at Dunwell on the next block to pass the time.

    The food was really good (and I'm not even vegan!) and priced reasonably. The decor was funny, too, if you like the ironic crafty thing. But, we had an incredibly rude waitress. Unsure if I'd return.
