I am so excited there is finally a fully vegan restaurant in Lake Country!!

The first time i saw the sign my thought as a somewhat skeptical vegan was, “with such a delicious sounding name I will most likely have to order a boring black coffee with a bit of almond milk and have to stare at a bunch of tasty looking things like in most other coffee shops/restaurants"… but no!!! I was so pleasantly surprised at how incredible the menu is - fully vegan with tons of gluten free options if that is your preference/need. So far I have tried an awesome latte, root beer kombucha, a grilled cheese/bacon sandwich with tomato/chickpea soup, and some lovely cinnamon buns i bought to share with family .. honestly I plan on trying everything at...

Update March 2022

Went and food and service was great, happy to report! Had a vegan egg dish which was amazing and a lovely coffee and scone. Friendly service, will be back!

Was so excited to try as we have read rave reviews. The food was mostly comfort food and was tasty.

The location is quaint, a nice amount of outdoor seating.

The service however was subpar, not a greeting as you enter or even approach the cash. After lunch, I ordered a tumeric latte and it turned out to be a premix thing with sugar, I didn't know to ask first and I asked them to switch it after tasting it. They wouldn't (the machines were off by this time) and wouldn't offer any alternatives, not even a baked item/ cookie (and they were closing for the next few days). That doesn't make sense to me. I guess I am just used to being able to sweeten or not sweeten hot drinks.

They were close to closing time when we got there so I get they want to probably go home but still, ...

We finally ordered takeout from here and I'm so glad we did. The online ordering on their website was super easy and upon arrival the staff was super friendly. Above all the food was fantastic. The fried egg sandwich was to die for and it honestly tasted just like a real egg. The lime and coconut ice cream sandwich was another standout. The chick'n caesar wrap was filling but light. My only critique would be that the side caesar salad and the caesar wrap could both have used more dressing, at least for my liking. The dressing was so light you could tell something was on the salad but it didn't taste like much. The buffalo chick'n quesadilla was also really good. Its not a spicy dish like you may expect which isn't a bad thing but just something to note (ie kid friendly, although kinda messy to eat). All in all, I love this place and I will...
