    Probably the best vegan brunch spot after Karyn's. Love the Trucker Bowl, biscuits and gravy, and coffee. You can BYOB, but you might get a weird look. Surly service.

    I can walk in at 10am on a Sunday with a bottle of bubbles and nobody looks at me with judgmental eyes. Try doing that at church with the same results. The food is pretty damn good too.

    I love this place. Hole in the wall and close to the house. Although you come here for the devious food not for the service. I've never have had a great service experience. Be prepared food > service

    I want to like this place, but they had the worst tofu scramble I've ever had at a restaurant. Undrained, soft tofu, tossed with some vegetables. Very disappointing.
