"I work near here and never dropped in until recently. I was impressed with the selection of vegan baked goods. I walked in expecting a muffin and left knowing that there are at least a dozen options for me. Bagels, brownies, cake balls, donuts, cupcakes, muffins, cookies, etc. I had the vanilla-chocolate donut and the banana nut muffin as well as some yummy Dark Matter coffee with soy milk. I was ecstatic so see they serve a vegan soup of the day as well as grilled cheese, pancakes/waffles, and biscuits and gravy. I will be coming back for brunch sometime in the near future and I'll make sure to update when I do! Protip: items with the white label are vegan (at least that's what I was told so certainly double-check Updated from previous review on Saturday January 16, 2016 EDIT: I had to lower my rating after eating off their diner menu. I ordered the vegan loaded griddle cheese, my husband ordered the vegan biscuits and gravy, and we shared the vegan soup of the day. The soup was almost unbearably salty. My sandwich was inedible it honestly tasted like melted plastic. Some of my fries had the flavor as well. I don't know if it was from the oil it was cooked in or what, but it was truly awful. The biscuits and gravy were ok, but nothing to write home about. They came with hash browns and a side of tofu marinated in soy sauce which were decent, but did not go with the meal at all. I honestly don't know how anyone in the kitchen could create these dishes and feel comfortable sending them out to the public. I'd have been less insulted with a salad-only option.

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."

"Had a great dinner but I had a poor experience in the bar area. As always I want to be fair so I did spill a drink and I asked for napkins or a bar towel and the staff acknowledged my request but took appx. 15 minutes to deliver so my wife and I had to wait in a soggy mess. I said to my waiter that he might want to pay attention to his client's needs in a more timely fashion. Guy tells me to leave and embarrassed me and my wife in the bar. Totally out of line where is the ideal that the customer is always correct. He denied my request of a refund for replacement drinks and yells at me and my wife in the bar. Luckily the astute manager comes in and refunds my cost note we did not drink the replacement beverages. Meanwhile the male waiter continues to berate us as we leave. How could this be allowed by this establishment? Very dissatisfied with a poor employee. I also must note that I tipped Shelly, our server in the dining area over 20 percent. I asked her to acknowledge this as I was being verbally assaulted by the waiter but she ignored me further belittling me when she could have been honest and made me feel better about a poor experience. All in all food was good bar employee was rude and needs training in basic customer relations. Plenty of other options service was poor overall wait times are long for food, drinks, and even the bill. Enter ajt your own risk of verbal assault and poor treatment."
