Our favorites were the vegetable roll, Bibimbap (asked for without egg), vitamin salad, and the amazing fresh hummus. We also loved the green smoothie and smoothie bowl made with soy milk. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and welcoming, with nice music playing and a large map on the wall to look at while waiting for your food. I would give this place five stars if it were fully vegan, but they still earned four stars from me.
