Groovy summer vibes, upscale diner style menu - Edit
Foodwise, the highlight was The Vird, a really well done vegan chicken sandwich. We also really enjoyed the oat milk sundae. I wouldn't order the Reset salad again -- just so-so.
Read moreThe service was notably glitchy. Ordering happens through a counter lineup of self service touchpad stations. We used this system to order drinks, an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert. After we sat down, the food came out very haphazardly: first drinks, then frozen dessert, then one person's hot entree, then the other person's lunch salad, then the appetizer, with a few minutes between each delivery. If you are invested in the traditional sequence of courses, then you might want to order each course separately, or go elsewhere. We ordered ourselves, and bussed our table ourselves, and combined with the weird way the food came out, it didn't make for a very relaxing dining experience. With tip our lunch came to around $75, which felt a bit steep in such a DIY service environment, but this might just be inflation and the generally pricey neighborhood.
On the bright side, the ambiance provides a really pleasant open air sidewalk cafe experience that is part of what makes Hayes Valley a charming dining destination. And the food is definitely much better than average. So, if you don't mind the low key service style--or eating dessert first, it's a great option.

Really great ambiance and delicious, fresh, nicely presented food.
Read moreReally beautiful, light and spacious space, with a great feeling.
The service was super-quick too.
Our Highlight was the “curried” cauliflower starter - incredible combo of flavours and textures!

Amazing Service and Vegan Food - Edit
Updated 2022-08-25:
Read moreNot too busy for a Thursday afternoon and I scored metered parking two blocks up the street. Upon arrival the inside was spacious and clean! There was seating directly outside along both windows of the establishment. I did notice a “only service animal” sign so was slightly scared Frijol wouldn’t be allowed in, so I ordered my meal outside which is comparable to the inside with touchscreens.
Food was ready after a quick stroll around the block. The inside was super cute and can we talk about the service?! I am a firm believer that vegan/plant-based establishments have lovely service… for the most part (I know there are outliers).
Ordered the Vegan Chicken Crispy (with way too many pickles), but I ate everything! The tonic water was also refreshing. I’d come back to try other options, but it was spendy (just know you are absolutely in SF).
PS, Prior to my visit I had a kind interaction over the phone asking if they were fur pal friendly- they are!
PPS, Forgot to mention, totally date worthy AND has sustainable utensils/packaging for takeaways/to-go orders!

Simply bad experience - Edit
As we entered everything is in some sort of self service place. We ordered 2 of the impossible burgers, only one was an actual impossible burger. When i told it, the guy didn’t even listen to me. The juice which cost 7 usd a glass filled with ice and barely any juice.
Read moreThe potato chips were too salty as well
Pros: Taste was not too bad
Cons: Bad service , No attention to the order, Expensive for what u get
