My first time here. Had an early dinner with friends before a show at the Altria Theater. The Sweet Potato fries were the big hit of the table! I really enjoyed the 1/2 lb. burger with goat cheese and regular fries. My friend said the Black Bean & Sweet Potato burger was delicious. Another had the small Oregon Hill Goat salad and it was plenty big. Had the vegan Hazlenut Latte cake and it was okay for my first vegan cake. The frosting was sooo good. I'll need to come back to try other items. Vegetarian options: Several vegan and vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: You can alter an item to fit your dietary needs. My friend ordered a chicken sandwich without the bun and cheese.

The best breakfast in Richmond for vegans! Vegan chai French toast *and* vegan breakfast sandwiches with just 'egg' & impossible sausage--other options too! High quality cold brew. Staff got a little backed up when we were there and ended up taking some $ off our bill for the wait. We will be back!

Great dining experience. The inside decor is very nice. There can be a little bit of a wait depending on what time you go, but that's to be expected in Richmond. The food was great and the menu prices were very reasonable.
