    The mission here is vegan comfort food made from scratch with gluten-free, raw, soy-free, and oil-free diets in mind. Try the Pesto Rawviolis or the Tempeh Reuben.

    They only serve brunch menu items at brunch, none of their amazing pac man salads or sides <sigh>. On the upside the country biscuit bowl is good and comforting and they do give free refills on coffee

    I love the fake tuna melt. The lavender lemonade is excellent as well. Highly recommend for vegans/vegetarians and omnivores alike. Awesome find and quirky decor :)

    Feeling environmental friendly? Counter Culture has an almost 100% vegan menu! From appetizer, entree, dessert, little to no animal products are used, and it is still a delicious and fulfilling meal!

    The Ethiopian Quesadillas were awesome!! Not sure if they serve it at the main location but they do serve it at the Counter Culture Junior food truck.

    If you're not a vegan - like me - come with an open mind and empty stomach. Then go straight for the Mac and Cheeze with a side of cornbread.

    The spicy artichoke dip is a little bland. The toasts are pretty basic.
