Jennifer GNovember 10, 2014The date salad was excellent! On a cold day/night, the hot cider with rum hit the spot. I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian, and I really enjoyed this place. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff.Upvoted Jan 18
Brian SearlApril 23, 2013Excellent local restaurant that serves primarily vegan dishes but offers something for everyone. There is even a kids menu. Start with light farm feta and move to the Pan Roasted Old Bay Catfish.
Food for omnivores & veggies, though almost all menu items can be made veg*n on request. Lots of Daiya cheese! Their smoked tofu is delicious. Best veg*n brunch in the city on the weekend.
Timothy HongSeptember 27, 2016BMV burger was excellent - you can get beef or chickpea burgers, and they're both good and very different.
I usually order the vegan Migas, which is always delicious, but today I decided to try the Saladboy, which is new to the menu. Fantastic!
Try the Black Walnut Manhattan - Rittenhouse Rye 100 Proof , Nux Walnut Liqueur, Dolin Dry Vermouth, Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters (via @Foodspotting)- MaryEllen ColemanNovember 14, 2016Fabulous, creative, appealing menu for vegans and non-vegans alike. Best veggie burger in town!
Kelly MDecember 24, 2015Very veggie and vegan friendly. Fun little venue for a date or lunch out, highly recommend.
ChristineDecember 21, 2013Really great food. The loaf, meatloaf wrapped in bacon on greens with baked beans underneath. Couldn't stop eating... So stuffed...
Jean CelsoOctober 14, 2014Tried the sausage sandwich, lots of bread but the spicy maple mustard paired great with the andouille. Interesting beer selection too!

Pauline ShafferDecember 27, 2013The Vegan Mac & More was sooooo good! Also service is awesome and it's such a cute house.
- Try the Pisco Gimlet - PISCO 1615 , Lime Juice , Simple Syrup (via @Foodspotting)
Great selection of craft brews on tap and a food menu to please vegans and carnivores alike.
Love pretty much anything with tofu :) The vegan tacos were amazing! Have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've tried so far!
Luc is the best bartender in town. Tell him what you like and he will make you an amazing drink!
Kaaren ThompsonMay 7, 2011I had Matty's Moustache, and have been dreaming for it ever since. Really can't wait to go back and bring some friends.
Vegan mozzarella sticks better than any real cheese mozzarella sticks -- delicious!!
- Great drinks, excellent food and cozy. And yes they do also serve various form of tasty meat too.
Mike JohanssonSeptember 13, 2011The food is good, not necessarily great. The kitchen in this place is too small for the number of diners they try to accommodate. I would go back, just not on a busy weekend night. Read more
I've never come here and not had a jaw dropping waitress. I don't know how they have such a collection of adorable cuties... It's mindblowing.
Hollie SickJuly 2, 2015Small portions but the quality of food is good. A worthwhile stop if it's not crowded.
Make sure you check out their beer menu, they frequently have selections that are hard to find other places.
