The owner is extremely friendly and goes out of their way to make sure guests are comfortable. Be sure to try the chili and BBQ tempeh sandwich if it's on the menu!

Their vanilla caramel iced coffee is the best I've had anywhere. The food menu varies, but everything I have ever tried has been full of flavor and delicious. Usually deli or sunbutter w/raspberry jam sandwiches are on hand, and you can request one if not. My favorites are the creamy macaroni salad, chili, lasagna, goulash, loaded taco salad and loaded nachos. They usually have fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls and lots of gluten free treats, like fresh baked cookies.

This fully vegan, plant-based café was a pleasant surprise during my cross-country road trip. I had the most delicious vegan lasagna and chatted with the lovely owner, Michelle. The menu offers a variety of options including tempeh sandwiches, chickpea sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, baked goods, and more. Michelle is even expanding to create a meeting room. I highly recommend this spot to anyone passing through Missouri or locals in the area. Michelle also gave me snacks for the road and extra coffee. I can't say enough good things about this place and Michelle. Be sure to stop by!
