We just discovered this place, today Sat June 19th, & I wish I had discovered it earlier in our trip because we would have eaten there everyday. Its hard to find good vegan food when youre on vacation, & we go back home to NY tomorrow. This place has delicious cashew cheese that we got on our fries & on our ultimate burger. Friendly staff who even gave my 2 dogs a hand baked treat! Anyone looking for a healthier meat free alternative needs to try this place! Well be stopping tomorrow morning for sure before we leave Rye! I wish I could give it 10 stars because it deserves 10

I stopped in for the first time yesterday and ordered the veggie burger. The staff were very helpful with getting my order so that it was vegan and gluten free. I think the place is terrific and Im looking forward to trying their salads and other vegan dishes.

Wow a couple menu items blew me away.Try the kale caesar (spectacular, vegan), the hang ten omelet (amazing, but not vegan) and the vegan gyro. Smoothie was also stellar and they accommodated my custom order. Skip the garden salad (standard lettuce and cherry tomatoes) and of course expect the New England summer mainstay, slightly distracted (but sweet :) teenagers at the register.I should mention that they werent quick, but they were so good it was well worth the wait. Will head straight here next time Im in the area.One more note: as a place with so many wonderful non standard items, I wish they had some kind of ingredient list available. For example, what comprises the vegan gyro? They could tell me only vaguely, and only the main ingredient. I wanted a clearer idea of the components for dietary reasons. Im still not sure what was in that gyro, even after eating it. Any rice? Any flour? Corn? High carb? Low carb?..

This place advertises themselves as being incredibly vegan friendly and having the ability to make the whole menu vegan, you’d think with that they’d be a lot more serious about adhering to vegan/vegetarian requirements. Ordered a vegan wrap and ended up biting into a chicken wrap loaded with dairy,Woops just doesn’t cut it when you’re messing up peoples diet and lifestyles, Thankfully I am vegan because I want to be so the worst I have is a sore stomach but the carelessness could of harmed someone else, definitely won’t be back

This is some of the most bland vegan food Ive ever had. Its great that they offer vegan menu items, but they put next to no thought in actually making them flavorful. Their seitan is made from cannellini beans, not wheat gluten, and is flavorless mush. The ready-to-go vegan stuff like feta cheese and the soups are similarly disappointing. No thanks.

Very original gourmet delicacies their pickles -- reminded me of my grandmas home pickels in ukraine. The staff was friendly and said everything can be vegan! Their banana walnut muffin is worth the drive from LA. Definitely going to return to try more! es·pe·cial·ly their smoothies Who said that.

I am not sure if this building is jinxed or the new owners do not feel service is important. I live in Rye and support local businesses.So I thought I would try this establishment again.........When I entered the store a young girl was stocking the shelves and she greeted me. Off to a good start.I looked over the menu on the board and decided on a grilled cheese sandwich. It was around 1:45/1:50.She stated the cook was on a call and would be out shortly. I told her it was no problem and I looked around and picked up a zucchini brownie and something to drink.In the mean time another customer came in to order a sandwich. I explained to her the cook was on a call and would be back shortly.And he did. So I was at the counter with my other items and the cook was starting to prepare my sandwich.The women ask to order her sandwich to the young girl and she stated the kitchen was closed 😳.I couldn’t believe it. I asked her if the kitchen was closed why is he making my grilled cheese?So we are going back and forth on this and I asked her what time the kitchen closes? She said 2:00 p.m.So I opened my purse and pulled out my phone and it said it was exactly 2:00.Now the women had been in the store while the cook was out on his call so she was well in before closing. And to get technical the words were out of her mouth before 2:00 probably 1:58 to be exact.I explain to the 2 employees that I would share this with the community so another person is not caught in this time crunch. I guess the owners don’t need the money or repeat customers.To be honest I was more annoyed by this then the women ordering. I have had years of service and understand how it works.At that point the two employees powwowed and decided to make her sandwich. The cook argued that the grill was cold as he was grilling my cheese sandwich.This is just so puzzling to me. I could understand if it was a little after 2:00 and they had shut everything down but that wasn’t the case.In addition, the young girl stated she could only make avocado sandwiches and wasn’t allowed to use the grill? Geez train the girl.On a positive note the sandwich was good and the brownie was excellent. As I was leaving I asked the cook if he had any pickles. He said yes and proceed to reach in the container with his hands and grab some pickles. That is how one get cross contamination.I not sure if he ever washed his hands....I know he didn’t before he reached into the pickle container.I won’t be back and I will spread the word. I have asked Trip Advisors to add the business so I may also share my experience.Now I see why this place is always empty. Prime location and they are mucking it up.

This place is frequently closed and the actual menu doesn’t reflect the available menu. Wait staff has a very casual attitude about service and I just don’t want to pay premium cash for basic service and limited food choices. I’d rather go to KB’s or Secret Spot in Hampton, or Urban Farmhouse.

Poor service. Spent $24 for a coffee, tea, avacado toast and over cooked dry scrambled eggs. Never got my toast to go with eggs. Server was more interested in talking with other employees. Third time I visited this store. Its also the last time too.
