My husband claimed this place to have the best fish sandwich on the island. The side salad that came with his sandwich was not your ordinary greens. It was full of various lettuces with sprouts on top and a fabulous homemade dressing on the side. The staff was very aware of any dietary needs varying the meal if need be.... More

Let's just start by saying I am not Vegan, I love vegetables but I'm not one of " those" crazy vegetarian people that I don't understand. My sister in law is and I have great respect for that.She was before it was trendy and will be forever. I've lived here 10 years and only heard about this Cafe but why... More

The setting is really cosy and friendly as is the personnel here suited for non-vegetarians as well if you're willing to skip meat for once. We had lunch here, both of us took veggie sandwiches and the delicious home-made juices which were both so great we decided to also have dinner at this place. And what a treat we got!... More

Always make sure to have at least one meal at the cafe when I am in town. Fabulous salads, healthy entrees and interesting beverages. You know the food is good when you see so many locals ( and friends) eating there.

Great menu of vegan/vegetarian items plus a good list of craft beers in bottles and on draft. Great for lunch and dinner. The Colossal Veggie Burger is super good and big enough for two to share.

So delicious! Not a long wait. Great menu variety. Menu is cleraly marked for vegetarian and vegan eaters and they were understanding about dietary needs. We found it late into our trip and wish we had found it sooner. We loved this place!

I hope this place stays around. there are only a few of its kind on the island. If you like eating vegetarian/vegan, have dietary restrictions, or want to try some vegetarian options this place is a great option. Good portions for the price. They 'get' vegetarian flavors - many options; not just pasta. They have gluten-free options too. We orderes... More

Had the clams...omg..I would order those every time. Got the stuffed jalapeños which are no freaking joke on the heat level but delicious. Shared a special which was goat cheese and pear stuffed pasta purses w/an organic ipa-I wish I had time to go back and try more!
