Top notch spot to start our day. It's my other 1/2's birthday, so we had to stop and fuel up with…read moresome donuts. Regular ones for me and GF for her. For an iced cold brew, delicious. With a little coconut milk (dairy free here) and a little sugar. Got the Boston Crème and Fried Dough donuts. The fried dough was my favorite, felt like I was at the fair!! Fast delivery! Evidently I did not say my name clearly, I'm Carmen now , thanks Niko that gave me a laugh. To go or to stay and eat, plenty of room. Oh and you can try the Photo Booth!!

Cute little donut and coffee shop with monthly flavor updates to keep your donut tastebuds happy!…read more Place was busy at 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning, yet the staff kept the lines moving with quick and friendly service! Enjoyed the s'mores donut, many shops have overpowering sweetness when making these, but Lovebirds is a perfect mix of flavors and not overly sweet! Strawberry Shortcake Latte is a perfect mix of summer fruity flavor fun great for a morning pick me up to keep you perky for your travels!!! Maine is truly the way life should be! Stop by this sweet venue as you cross into the state!

Great place for an amazing vegetarian meal. We went for a Miso Soup, Thai Ginger Noodles and a Thai…read moreBasil Fried Rice. Miso soup was delicious and hearty - just what you need on a cold day outside. Both, noodles and fried rice were great. Btw their spice levels are catered to North American taste buds, so if you're an Asian just tell them highest spice levels and you'll probably still feel like moderate. Having said that, great flavours. The staff was nice and friendly. I used the restroom and they were clean and well maintained. Definitely recommended.

I had hands down one of the best noodles I've had in a long time at this spot! And it was…read moresurprisingly through take-out. It is a tragedy that I was only planning to visit Portland for less than a day, so I didn't have the opportunity to dine in at the Green Elephant. However I would contemplate driving up from Boston just to have their Singapore noodles again. It was so flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to the perfect texture. The level 2 spice in the online ordering menu was not spicy at all, but the food still had a good amount of sauce and flavor. The dish was definitely heavy on the noodles and probably only had 4-5 bite-sized pieces of tofu for protein, but the noodles certainly were my favorite part. And for only about $15-20 per main dish, this is one of the more accessible/affordable restaurants for vegan options in Portland!

Unfortunately, no outdoor dining before Memorial Day. Great knowledgeable and attentive service with Paul. Upstairs was busy but not crowded. Food was fantastic. Wild mushroom soup was delicious. A tasting of sunchokes, pan seared mousam bakery mushrooms and shishito peppers made a meal for one of the party and still had leftovers. Best was the entree, Maine style palusami was a complex flavor concoction that was a home run. Finished with black forest cake. Hope to return again from the West Coast. They can certainly compete with any restaurant in any big city

I have been wanting to try this place for soooo long, and was happy to finally have the…read moreopportunity. The menu (as far as I could tell) changes frequently, and it features several vegetarian dishes and small plates, in addition to other mains. The drink menu had some really fun offerings, and both cocktails were got were delicious. The food was very good as well, but nothing that blew us away. We were disappointed that they sat us in a different part of the restaurant than we reserved, which felt odd considering we specifically had to choose which area we were reserving a table in and it wasn't a busy night, but it was no big deal at all. All around was a great experience and we will return.

We wanted to try this because I'm always looking for new vegan food. The woman who came to explain…read moreeverything g was very nice and even gave us a free cinnamon roll. Unfortunately the experience was not enough to bring us back in the door. I got the breakfast burrito. It was pure mush. There should have been crunch given it was supposed to have onions, peppers, corn, and jalapeño. The flavor was off also. My wife had the Greek breakfast scramble. It also should have been full of cheese, spinach, olives and tomatoes. It had two tiny pieces of tomato, diced. And very little anything by else. We waited over 45 min and there was no one else there. It was explained that the kid was new and made the food wrong then went to make it all over again before they realized what he was doing. Which is fine but if you're training someone new, shouldn't you be watching what they're doing. Again, people super nice but we won't be back for the food. Troy's is so much better.

Amazing lunch at Green Beautiful. We got the VOID burger ("chicken"), UnBeetable burger, and seitan…read moresteak bowl. Would get all again. This place is definitely on our favorites list now - not just vegan favorite, but an all-round favorite. The guy taking orders was super helpful answering questions, and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself was decorated in a fun way, comfortable, and even had a little shop corner with funky jackets and a few other items. Even the bathroom was fun. Parking was on street unless we missed something. That and the slightly out of the way location are the only drawbacks, but by no means prohibitive. We're definitely going back. You can get catering here, too, which is actually how I got to know about this place. We went to an event at the museum that used them and the food was a hit. It's a great idea for catering if you have people with mixed dietary needs who still want a variety of tasty food.

I couldn't think of a more special place to celebrate Valentine's Day than at @mandarava_kitchen ,…read morea true vegan gem in the Northshore of charming Newburyport, MA. It was a very intimate experience dining among two other couples ( with three tables inside, Valentine's Day was fully booked! ) Here is what we enjoyed: - Roasted beet, radish, cucumber and snap peas crudites with a fava pate and malawach - Creamy and crispy potato puffs with spicy zchug - A bright and dreamy wedge salad with mushroom bacon and fried shallot - A savory tomato sunchoke soup with artichoke heart - A surprise ravioli and with a warming cream sauce - And choice of dessert, I had a bright lemon tart cake with and my husband had the amaro blonde sundae Dan @rhinokey, the @gossamerdram bar room operator, is a master with his cocktails, sourcing from, supporting local and small businesses where possible. We loved First We Take Manhattan and A Moon Behind the Clouds. Mandarava is one of my absolute favorites in Massachusetts for upscale, excellent pure cooking made from fresh, local ingredients, nothing processed. At least one of the couples we dined with were not vegan and said "If Mary cooked for me every night, I would be vegan". It's that good! Chef Mary, Dan, and Jessica thank you for an incredible meal and experience

This place is simply outstanding! I cannot think about a better dinning experience in Newburyport…read morethan the one my finance and I had at Mandarava. We went on a Friday for a tasting menu. This is what we got: - Grape leaves: Delicious stuffed grape leave paired with heart of palm and blood orange. Perfect way to start a delicious dinner. - Vegetable creme soup: I think that was one of the best soups I had in a while. It was super flavorful and light. The crispy brussel sprouts on the top provided some crispiness to the plate. - Chickpea tofu: The combination of the chickpea tofu with the delicata squash was just delightful. I wouldn't even know how to improve the plate if I was asked to... - Pot pie: Perfect bite for a winter. It makes you warm up immediately. The flavors were on point. You only need to be patient with this one, since it takes a while until it cools down and you can really enjoy it as it deserves. - Sweets: The description of this plate was only "cherry, blueberry, strawberry, pear" so we didn't really know what to expect. Well, we were served with a delicious piece of cake. Every bite made you come back for more. If I was asked about something to improve, my only recommendation would be to make sure the waitress describes the plate when served. At least the time we were there, that was not the case. Looking forward to coming back soon!
