I LOVE this place!!! I have eaten here multiple times, and every single thing I get on the menu is absolutely delicious, being a vegetarian. Sometimes it’s hard to find good food that I can eat out and serve my family. This place is amazing, all of their food is absolutely delicious, their bagels and their pastries are super fresh and delicious. The workers are Friendly and kind!! I highly recommend this place!!!!!Vegetarian options: Amazing!!!!!

I love this place for breakfast sandwiches. It's hard to find good vegan breakfast sandwiches! I think the lunch sandwiches are a little overpriced, but everything I've had is tasty. It's a small place and gets crowded easily. I've also never been able to order online ahead of time. There are a few tables outside, but on a busy day or time, it's probably best for take out.

Simple deli with all vegan food. Great Ruben and steak sandwich. The matzoh ball soup wasn't anything special. The potato kinish wasn't good. I would come back and try some other sandwiches and items just to be sure.

Favorite vegan breakfast bagels. Ate here 3x in 5 days, and make it a point to visit the Portland shop whenever we are up there too. Worth every penny. ?Vegetarian options: 100% vegan

I ordered the “egg salad” bagel sandwich. It was delicious! Even better than real eggs. I think non vegans would enjoy it as well. The store is small with no seating, so it’s setup for takeout only. It’s very clean and d the staff is very helpful. The first time I went they guided me through the menu and helped me decide on a good option. The sandwich was so good I haven’t wanted to try anything else.Parking: There are always empty spaces when I go. It’s in a strip mall with plenty of convenient stalls right in front of the shop.

Love the food….So disappointed they would rip off loyal clients for a few dollars.Very sad…. Here are the photos of what was supposed to be full containers of food, and we were given mostly empty containers.Be careful about what you buy from them… They obviously don’t care about their customers.Th pictures below are supposed to be full portions.
