"The food is delicious (I had the pepper steak but also tried the curry chicken and jerk chicken since I came with a group)."
"Everything is well seasoned and flavorful."
"The food is exceptional: fresh, flavorful and unique."
Cons:
"The food didn't seem as good as I remembered it to be."
"Nothing special about waffles, and there is too much cinnamon there."
"The Rice could have been more shelly instead of like paste and the tofu didn't care for it much in the jerk sauce."
"The only bad thing is the wait for your food and sometimes just to order... I have tried just about everything there and the only thing I did not like was the mac and cheese."
"Don't like an acai bowl, it's actually not acai bowl, just a thick banana smoothie or even puree."
"The pattys lacked sufficient filling and the paninis had no side salad, slaw or any condiments."
"The ginger muffin has chunks of ginger inside. The lemon zest loaf has chunks of lemon zest inside and on top. Both are a little dry."

"The lady at the front was very rude, and had an attitude for no reason."
"Waited for more than 30 minutes for a small size of smoothie."
"Bad service=bad business...I walked out of this place too many times because they're out of something or did not start with my food when I call ahead."
Ambiance & Cleanliness

"The outdoor seating has an eye capturing aesthetic with distinctive plants and flowers."

"They have a beautiful outside/backyard eating terrace/patio."
"The inside says more than what you may perceive from the outside. Bright, organized, and very clean."
"It’s really clean."
Cons:
"I do wish they had more foliage/plants in the back (would add a nice touch) and would find a better place to store cleaning items."
"Unfortunately, there is not much space for a bigger group when it is winter because the backyard patio is closed."
"Not trying to throw shade but the floor needs a good mop."
"Be careful with the rounded table by the middle of the restaurant. It moves."
"On the way out they told me not to come back with my dog."
"Sometimes they close a little earlier than google lists so make sure you don’t catch them at the end of the day."
"Service definitely took a while."

"2 of the workers tried to put whole milk into a drink of mine! I clarified that I was a vegan from the very beginning."
"I went there yesterday to take my nephew to eat vegan for his first time. They got my order completely wrong."
"People after me got their food before me and I had to come up to the counter after waiting for 15-20 minutes."
"As much as i like this place AGAIN i had to walk out, ran out of food at 12noon. To save time I tried calling several times to order NO pick up. I go in the store the long lines that moves slow....ugh!"
