Savior!

The coffee with soy milk was great but the vegan chicken sandwich was a savior on graduation day at UChicago! Delicious and a huge portion with salad. Reasonably priced as well!

Excellent Vegan Tartine

I love the patio of this place. They have decent coffee and they are a go-to for a special lunch (I always order the roasted root vegetable tartine)

Pros: Vegan options are great!, The patio is excellent, gGood coffee

Cons: Not too many vegan options (plenty of vegetarian), Lines are long on the weekend
