Really liked it. I believe it's mostly, if not all, vegan. I know they were experimenting with some…read moreitems with dairy a while ago but I did not notice any non-vegan items while I was there, so not sure if that's still a thing. Anyway, it is a little out of the way. It's walkable from downtown but not really in the downtown core. Pretty quiet when I was there, but the atmosphere felt approachable. Some of the chairs were like school desk chairs (adult-sized, of course) that I haven't seen since I was in primary school which was kind of funny. The guy at the counter was cheerful and friendly. They looked like they had run out of some of the hot savory items by Saturday mid-afternoon, but there was still a wide variety of sweets. I believe the current owners are Indian, and you see some of those flavours featured. I got: Samosa handpie: Good, not mind-blowing, but good. Nice flavours. If you like a flaky crust, this is not it, but I liked the rustic pastry crust. Pistachio cardamom donut: Loved it. Before I moved to Bloomington, there were a few bakeries that offered vegan-GF cake donuts that I loved, and this was the first thing I've gotten here that reminded me of that. Pleasant texture and strong cardamom flavour, not too sweet. I think these are baked donuts, so they're a little different from regular fried donuts, but in a good way IMO. Rose dream latte: Milk with rose syrup topped with coconut whip and nuts, no espresso. Tasted great, but more of a dessert drink than I was expecting. The coconut whip was quite thick. The concept could probably use some refinement, because the whip was too thick and rigid to drink without a straw, but the nut pieces were too big to go through a straw, and so I couldn't figure out the best way to drink it. From what I understand, there are some longtime fans of this place who feel like the quality has dropped since the most recent change in ownership, but as someone who had never been here before, I really had a good experience. I get why people would be upset when something changes, but if you are considering trying this place for the first time, I wouldn't be too put off by the negativity around the change in ownership. There's no other place specialized in vegan baking in Bloomington, so I think it's good to support what they are continuing to do here, and even though I am partial to vegan food I wouldn't say that if it wasn't also GOOD. They also had some refreshingly unique options for baked goods.

The cheesecake pieces were kind of melted into the cookie which created an amazing texture.

First time going today and everything was amazing!…read more We ordered the chicken arepa, the pabellón arepa, and three different tequenos: Venezuelan llanero cheese wrapped in dough and fried as well as guava and jalapeños tequenos. Each were very flavorful and the dough was perfect. I personally enjoyed the chicken arepa the most. We were both very pleased with our meals. The Venezuelan cheese however was not my favorite cheese ever.. so I might ask for it on the side so that it doesn't ruin your whole arepa/sandwich just in case you feel the same. The service was very accommodating and pleasant. The ambiance was clean and decorated very nicely. We will certainly be back for more!

They serve the Cafe Vida Divina coffees here, got to try one as the taste great and good for my health and energy boost. These bake goods are all home made in-house and very fresh. Super friendly service from the owner herself. So good we doubled our order to take more home and another coffee to-go. Make sure to order the fresh avocado sauce and the garlic sauces to dips. The fruit punch and aguapanella were refreshing on the hot day were were eating here. Lastly, this is very easy to access as it is on a main streets, a bike path, on the bus line, and a bus stop right in front. No excuses not to enjoy what we just did.

Absolute Garbage !!…read more Feast Marker and Cellar *USED* to be amazing with genuinely unique flavors found nowhere else . But under new ownership , it's not even Waffle House level , and they still charge prices like it was unique . I had the eggs your way, which used to be amazing , but now it's just fried eggs, warm potatoes and cold toast , and was charges $18. The waiter was clueless, coffee was cold and place was justifiably barren . The display case used to have all sorts of amazing pastries , but now it's random shrink wrapped garbage . Really the worst experience every and were charged $50 (two of us) for cold coffee, cold toast , stale potatoes and Waffle House eggs . At least Waffle House coffee is hot .

The cookies and muffins and cinnamon roll just seem to melt in your mouth (I'm sure lots of butter is involved). They even have a very good vegan coffee cake! The drinks are not great and consistency is not the name of the game. Maybe the coffee is better than the tea, but the chai tastes more of sugar and cinnamon than tea, and the matcha was very murky, but maybe that's because I got the strawberry matcha and that affected the colour. It didn't taste bad but just didn't taste like quality matcha. They have decent teabags, but the brand and selection varies and is not what's listed on the menu board. They can do a tea latte but don't always have teas that work well with milk. I like the iced tea they make during the summer better than the hot tea. They sometimes have bubble tea, which is made with a machine and is decent (as far as artificially flavoured tea goes) but very sweet. It's a complete gamble as to whether or not the bubble tea machine will actually be on at any given time. I tried to get it in the evening once but was told they usually power it down around 6, so came back around 4:30 next time, but it was off again. I finally did manage to get bubble tea a few times around lunch time and in the morning, but there have also been days where they don't turn it on at all despite displaying the posters for it. Tapioca pearls are on the menu but they seemingly never have them, only the popping pearls. The baristas are students and are sometimes friendly, sometimes not. I would guess there's a combination of high turnover and poor training because some of them just seem very confused. They usually do okay at keeping the line moving though. I come for the baked goods, and just get a drink while I'm at it because I don't want to wait in another line at Starbucks even though I actually think Starbucks makes slightly better drinks.
