Wayside is a super impressive vegan cafe that gets the thumbs up from plant-based eaters and…read moreomnivores alike. You order and then pick up your food at the counter and seat yourself at this casual spot. The menu, it seems, has nothing bad. We had the tahini bowl, the arugula and beet salad, and the mac and cheese bowl with soy curls. The tahini bowl is the platonic ideal of a grain bowl and is so delicious and well balanced in its flavors that you don't even notice that it's really healthy for you. The mac and cheese bowl is more indulgent but still doesn't make you feel like a bowling ball. Their vegan cheese is impressively creamy. Our lunch buddies had the almost famous bowl and the big dad salad and loved their food. Probably most impressive of all were the desserts. Vegan dessert is difficult to do well, but their cheesecake and gochujang cookie were so good, they would beat out a lot of dairy-containing desserts.

I never ever add lemon juice or salt, I did both in this case. We tried many dishes on the menu (over $100), and nothing was authentic. The most decent thing was the lentil soup. The hummus was thin tiny spread not even enough for one. The spanakopita was disgusting. This is the first time I used this word to describe a food item. The server tried to accommodate us but wasn't very attentive. The place had no atmosphere which would have been ok if the food made up for it.

I ordered the beef soulvaki which looked different than expected. There weren't many beef pieces but the veggies were good. Each entree comes with a simple salad which was fresh and tasty. The lentil soup looked old and there were barely any lentils. There was a employee's son fooling around in the back blocking the restrooms and laughing at customers. Very unprofessional.

The interior is amazing--honestly such a surprise compared to the outside, which doesn't really hint at what's waiting inside. You have to go in. The food was great, drinks were good, and everything was so enjoyable that my guy and I honestly don't even remember exactly what we ordered. Not because it wasn't good--but because we completely finished everything. No takeout boxes needed. The service could have been better, but it also felt like they were short-staffed and doing their best to keep things moving. Overall, a great find and we'd go back again. Thank you.

The ambience is beautiful inside…read more The best part of the Baked Eggs dish was the cheese. The cheese was so flavorful, creamy, and delicious. Next best was the bread - it was perfectly soft inside with a crispy crust. Between how oily the dish was and my nose running from the increased spice as I continued eating, I wouldn't return for this dish. The eggs weren't noticeable in appearance or taste- I had to search for them. The "creamy grits" were creamy, but the black pepper taste was STRONG. Definitely ordered the side for the "creamy" factor, hoping when the server said harissa in the eggs would have a mild spice, that the grits would calm my mouth. The amount of pepper made this unsuccessful. But if you like black pepper a lot then you'll enjoy them. My son enjoyed the beignet's. The server was also the host and he was kind. It was easy to get his attention when needed. I didn't see anyone with a grin on their face after taking bites of their food. I looked around quite a bit out of curiosity. So for ambiance, kind and prompt service, and the possibilities of the menu I gave it 4 stars. We only tried the few things I mentioned. I did also appreciate the bottle of water ready on every table. Note that there is no kids menu and it's mostly table seating. So maybe try on your own or with other adults, and leave the kids at home?

The decor is simple and there's just enough seating boothwise for couples or parties of 4. We got the fresh basil rolls and I grabbed a pho tai lan (small). Honestly, if I had time I definitely would have grabbed a large for a single dollar more. That said, the small is a regular size for most other pho stores. The broth was delicious; I think it's better than anything I've recently had in Atlanta. It was salty yet still light and the garlic flavoring was not overpowering. It made the pieces of beef delicious, especially when dipped in sriracha or hoisin sauce. The fresh basil rolls were standard. I did like their hand wrapped presentation. To go we got a chicken banh mi that we split later that night. Delicious and it kept well together in the car so we didn't get crumbs anywhere. All in all, I think this spot is a gem. Great for a quiet, chill date or a good option for nearby takeout.

I think you are charging more than what's on the actual printed menu board currently. The person that helped me was nice. There was a decently clean seating area, although I chose to eat in my car because it was chilly outside.
