The falafel isn't falafel, but it's worth coming here just for it.
Jason AstonDecember 11, 2017Bypass the hot chocolate. It’s the most expensive drink on the menu and is truly unimaginative and underwhelming. Supposedly it’s made from the brownie batter but just tastes like Swiss Miss.
Naphat KijsamrejMay 25, 2016Menu has changed with the original chef leaving. Mostly prepared salads and bowls now. :(
Blair MikelsJanuary 9, 2014Pine nut shortbread is spicy and their pour-over's perfect match. Delicious!
Amanda NogueiraAugust 25, 2018I had great expectations, but the Devils Chicken was awful. The seasoning of the sweet and sour cabbage was totally wrong and too acid.
Perfect if you like small spaces and slow service. The Vietnamese iced coffee is great though.
- Iced coffee and sweet potato loaf is a strong move any day.
- Bobby WalkerJuly 30, 2016Filthy restaurant, couldn't be more turned off the 'California health kick vibe'.
Minh LeMarch 29, 2014VIC isn't really VIC but still so good. Will give you quite the jolt for the day

"Chopped liver and trio of herring. Very tasty. The brown bread under the herring was a bit confusing, springy and a touch dry. They serve Streits matzo that is toasted, buttered and salted. So good."

"Pancakes! Blueberry pancakes with maple butter syrup are incredible."

"Had the chicken and waffles with the cranberry lemonade. Was really good! Dope spot!"
