    My favorite local vegan place! Fresh baked bread and tofu made in house, everything is always fresh as can be and so delicious. Prices are a bit more than nearby restaurants, but worth EVERY penny! Get something sweet from the fridge you won’t regret it!

    This place became one of my favorite restaurants lately. I’m not vegan but I come here to get healthy food that is tasty at the same time. Portions are not large but they work just fine for our family, plus the price reflects the smaller portions. Love the tofu made in house!

    Amazing green curry and green tea with boba! My soup had a lot of delicious vegetables and the lady serving me gave me bread to go with it. She was super friendly and made me feel welcomed! While I’m not vegetarian, the food filled my appetite and tasted very savory!
