Hours of operation posted online and on their own door is inaccurate. Made the trip in the middle of the day just to be turned away.

Nice spot, good food and the young lady that helped us and the gentleman cooking the food were friendly and helpful! Definitely going back!Loved the Black History Month menuI had the Lauryn Hill Bowl And tasted the Kyrie Irving slider. Also had a smoothie that I can't remember the name of but was really good and mushroom coffee.

Food is great but the service is terrible. The hours online are irrelevant. You can call on a Wednesday at 3pm and they will say they aren’t taking orders, you can place an order then arrive and they say they never got it. I hope someone else with better customer service practices opens a place similar to this.

Outstanding and really attentive service. I adore the atmosphere. There are many delectable vegan cuisine options. My favorite little burgers are the sliders and the Lauren Hill soup, and I adore the lemon cake. I suggest it to people who want to make dietary changes as well as vegans searching for affordable, delicious cuisine and relaxation.

On our way back to harlem, we googled & stumbled upon this little gem in the hood.Fantastic food, atmosphere, and service.We will definitely stop here on our way to and from NY more often.*** I see some reviews talking about the area ***We are from Queens/Brooklyn/Detroit and its like any inner city neighborhood.There is a police station one block up with plenty of police presence on the street.Never felt unsafe and the people were friendly, but then again I grew up in the hood so this feels like home to me.Parking: Parking is on the street, plenty of parking around the corner.

Excellent service, very attentative. Love the ambiance. Variety of delicious vegan foods to choose from. I love the lemon cake & the sliders are my favorite mini burger, Lauren Hill soup. I recommend it for those looking to change their diets and those vegans looking for good food and relaxation not pricey.Kid-friendliness: Children will love the mini sliders.

Waited a hour just for a burger. Ordered the Patti la melt and it was not what i expected. When finally receiving the food the burger Patti was falling apart and sloppy put together. Only one side of the bun was toasted. I was very disappointed in the food and will not be a returning customer.

Wow. Super impressed with this spot. The lady who served me was very friendly, but more importantly the food was out of this world truly. I tried the lauryn hill bowl and the young Hendrix. To say the least the young Hendrix was a 10/10 dish featuring an extreme amount of flavor encompassing many different tastes, a pleasant experience for the pállette and every bite keeps one entertained and at edge of their feet truly. The lauryn hill bowl also had great flavor. These dishes are light years more impressive than other restaurants and other vegan restaurants as they are super healthy. The restaurants sends a clear message to the world that you can enjoy your food to the highest ability and it still be very healthy! I hope they open more locations as they are seized for success if they are able to market themselves properly and get people in the door. One critique would be a better ventilation system in the kitchen as fumes did emit into the dining area to the degree, poor ventilation would be my only critique but this is very minor when looking at all the other things. Very budget friendly restaurant, excellent accommodating staff, over the top tasting healthy food! Plan to come back as much as possible in the future
