Great takeout, cauliflower dreams - Edit
We did takeout via the online system and it was smooth and easy to navigate. Our food was tasty and unique. Our personal favorite was the southern fried cauliflower. We also enjoyed gluten free bread options to go with the mushroom cheese steak, also a winner. The only thing we didn't love was the Mac and cheese. It lacked flavor and creaminess.

Love it, need to come back! - Edit
I was a little hesitant to come here, from the pictures it looked fancier than what I wanted. Glad I came though because it was pretty chill and the food was amazing. I thought the prices were high, but I was stuffed, so it was a good value!
Read moreWe came for brunch, hopefully we'll be back for dinner. This is a place where I could eat multiple times in a single weekend and not get sick of them!

BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich was excellent - Edit
Fast and friendly service, best jackfruit burger I’ve had.
Read moreThe fries could do with a bit more crispiness but still very good. The place itself looks nice as well.

Tomato Benedict - Edit
I was a huge Benedict girl pre-V and this was one of the best I’ve had. Roasted tomatoes, their version of a runny poached egg and the BEST holly sauce wow. We got a side of the biscuits and gravy and that was so good too. My wife got a breakfast sandwich on their fresh baked sourdough and it was so damn good. Even got a MASSIVE salted chocolate chip cookie for the road and it was perfect.

Lots of choices and unique recipes - Edit
I had the Butternut Squash Gnocchi and the Cauliflower wings.
Read moreWings were cooked well, cauliflower was fresh and I really like their Ranch which comes with them. I also got the BBQ sauce but I was neither here nor their about the BBQ. Ranch was the standout.
Gnocchi was a good recipe and I enjoyed it. I would give it like 3.5 stars.
What I liked most about this place was the staff and the FULL MENU of vegan recipes and not-common-to-find treats! I would be back a couple times more just to try some of the other items.
I will note I did not get a fork or napkin in my stapled-to-go bag!
I would say from a flavor perspective I might recommend Superfood Bar over this depending on what side of town you're on.
But if you are looking for comfort food good chance you'll find something here you will fully enjoy!

Pros: Home cooking feels like comfort food, Did not feel unhealthy considering comfort food, Staff was nice, had seating
Cons: Check your bag for needed to-go utensils

I keep coming back! I wish half-stars were a thing. This is a 4.5 stars from me. I had the quinoa hash and I LOVED it. Felt more healthy.
Read moreWhile this food is comfort food, I am changing my rating to 5 stars. I prefer healthier versions, but honestly, the hash was healthier that many, and I keep enjoying my comfort food here! Edited from 4 stars to 5!

Family favorite - Edit
This place is a really great fully plant based restaurant located in Denver!s Capitol Hill neighborhood. I always get the Cuban sandwich which is a vegan version of the Cubano but this time went for the sweet potato and carrot arancini which was a creative dish of sweet potato, carrot risotto balls served on a bed of lentils and arugula. Unusual and tasty!

Friendly service. The 20% charge on top of the bill and tax is a lot but staff was upfront about it after we said it was our first time there. Food was delicious and was enough to take some to go.

vegan haven - Edit
i was soo looking forward to coming here. i got the cuban sandwich with maple dijon vinaigrette and it did not disappoint. staff was super friendly and the place lived up to its hype. i got a maple bacon cupcake to go that was unreal, the frosting was bacony and the cake part was moist and almost like a pancake. will 100% go back if i’m in the area!

Great food. Loud and slow - Edit
Enjoyed the food very much. Service started excellent, but then left us waiting for dessert and close out. Also a place you have to shout for your party to hear you. Eat outside for quiet. Agree with other reviewer on warm table water too.

The Ambience was awesome!! - Edit
I’ve been doing what I call a vegan restaurant tour. A good friend of mine suggested this spot. I decided to go one even by myself, it was a last minute decision. I’m such a music buff so the fact that they were playing one of my favorite artists Cleo Sol who I happen to listen to at times while meditating gave me a euphoria feeling, while waiting for my food. I loved the real plants, the wall art, very clean environment, service felt personal, and the food was great. My favorite was the dessert which was a strawberry cream shake. I’m like “Are u sure this is vegan?”Geez!!! Also I took the Cuban sandwich to go which was delicious!! I only have pictures of the cauliflower wings and loaded fries. I definitely recommend this spot. I’ll be Bock!!

Great spot in Denver - Edit
I ate here a few years ago while visiting Colorado and had the Cuban sandwich… it was outstanding. I came back this year and had another one - it did not disappoint. The food is a five-star rating. But, I decided on four stars because the water at the tables was not even cool and the music was so loud. Also, there was a 20% service fee which was confusing since I was still prompted for a tip during the credit card transaction … Why not just increase the prices?

Overall very good - Edit
This restaurant has lots of great vegan options and is absolutely worth a visit. Strong emphasis on southern comfort food with lots of meats no matter what meal you come for.
Read moreThat said... The service charge is ridiculous, there is a 20% service fee that goes to everyone working (including boh) to 'pay a living wage.' I'm all for fair pay, but this encourages people to tip less and makes everything on the menu look cheaper than it actually is. Please just raise all your prices and increase your employees wages. This current system is predatory to customers and employees.

Decent vegan fare - Edit
The staff are super friendly and sweet. Truffle fries and Mac and cheese were lovely, but our mains were a little less impressive. Gnocchi was a little greasy, and our sandwich arrived pretty soggy on the bottom. Soup of the day had split and tasted a little like baby food. But all round decent fare. Was disappointed because of all the 5 star reviews on here.. didn't quite live up to the hype.

Amazing - Edit
I had the chorizo and polenta, OMG... The sauce is mellow and only a tiny bit sweet to counteract the strong chorizo seasoning. The polenta and sofrito made a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The chai latte was very good, but could have been hotter, it was served at a tepid/warm temperature. I finished with the cheesecake/carrot cake, excellent, especially with the latte.
Read moreUpdate: The sesame crusted tofu was amazing! The broth was earthy and smokey, I literally drank it at the end!
