If I could give 10 stars I would. This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants I've been to (and I'm not from St Louis, just in town visiting!)
We stopped by on Friday night for dinner, the plaza it's located in was pretty quiet, the only cars seemed to be for this restaurant. I think it might be hard to find if you're not specifically looking for it. Once inside the decor is so cute though. It's fun and clean but also a little quirky. They have a TV showing animal videos in the main seating area.
They have several appetizers to choose from, we opted to go with mozzarella sticks and the burnt ends. The Mozzarella sticks were gooey and a little stringy. They taste slightly more rich than a traditional dairy mozzarella sticks, but I doubt you'll find something that tastes as close to the real thing as here!
The burnt ends were made of seitan and they were so delicious. The bbq sauce was very tasty and the seitan was a little charred in places. A decent portion size as well.
For our mains my husband tried the tacos which he really liked, and I got the "shrimp" po boy. I think the "shrimp" was made from a mushroom protein of some sort but it looked and tasted eerily similar. I definitely never thought I'd be eating a vegan version of a po boy again and I was thrilled to see it on the menu.
To top it off I got the cookies and cream vegan milkshake. Very tasty! I believe it's an oat milk base. I also liked they had some food retail items such as Rebel Cheese Brie. I've been wanting to try that brand for a long time and was excited to be able to order some to go! They also offer some non-vegan items for the meat eaters if you bring any along. I'd probably prefer to see a full vegan menu, but I understand making it easier for others to eat there as well.
The staff was very friendly and smiling the whole time. I would happily go back here many days in a row to be able to try all the other items...

I closed their refrigerator door, since it was ajar. I stopped a pile of receipts from blowing away due to open drive thru window. I waited for over 5 minutes and there was no line or rush. One customer was given food at the window. There were a half a dozen tables with people and no one got their food while I was there. I live 10 minutes from home. We ate right away. Nothing was "hot." The fries and tacos were literally cold, limp and sad. My son describes his feelings as outrage, gotta love 11 year olds. The pizza was worse than a frozen pizza. We were excited to go here. The kids describe the turkey burger as not the best, which is code for not good. The fried pickles were pretty good and the burnt ends were delicious although very very sweet. I love the art on the walls and the eclectic chairs at their...
Read moreI have been here several times and have loved every single item that I have gotten! Friendly service nice atmosphere absolutely amazing vegan food! I have gotten something different every time with the exception of pancakes and French toast for brunch which I've gotten a couple times because it is so wonderful! Tonight I had the sampler platter for the first time and let me say I was excited! I have never had shrimp before and the vegan shrimp was tied for the top with the potato skins delicious! The pickle fries were amazing as well the popcorn chicken was good But came in last on my list. My daughter has tried a couple flex options the salmon sandwich and the turkey burger and said they were very good. She loves the skinny fries! I wish I would've gotten a picture of our items but we were so hungry we just dug in! I hope you support this local business and wish I could go every day! PS I recently had their marshmallow brownie and it was...
