I cannot see how this place can survive unless everyone else around here thinks a $20 crepe or sandwich with bi side is normal. The food did at least taste decent.

I ordered the Sweet Honey Bee latte which is one of my absolute favorite flavored lattes. My husband got the London Fog with he also thoroughly enjoyed. I got the vanilla syrup ($19) to enjoy at home. It's a bit thicker but you can see the fresh vanilla bean and has great taste.

I ordered my husband a cardamom latte and butter chicken empanada to go and he said he liked it--the butter chicken empanada was a huge hit and the cardamom wasn't too strong, but the latte had a fragrance to it...and I think it's because of the heavy air diffusers they have inside the cafe. So what we ordered was all good and fine, but the fragrance definitely lingers, so if you're sensitive to scents this might be a little too much. Overall, it's a nice quiet place near Harper, so I can see it being a good hangout/study spot.

I'm impressed nobody has reviewed this place at all and it seems to have been open for well over 7 years according to Google. This place is a café with all vegan friendly food items. On top of that it is a gallery that offers classes too that you can buy art and support local artists. I had their spicy 7 tofu wrap on my end while my wife ordered another wrap. Staff here was absolutely friendly and courteous with us especially with no other guests inside. Prices were a bit above average with moderate wait times but the food itself was absolutely filling making the wait time worth it. They have a dessert menu too after which has a small selection of sweets. Overall, I was blown away from my visit here. Highly recommend coming back and visiting when you get a chance!

Their galaxy lemonade was really good; the employee described it as orange flavored lemonade, but I'm not sure I tasted much orange. But regardless, it was good. I think they are Filipino-owned, and as with some of the other filipino owned cafes I've been to they had some creative (and delicious!) options on their menu. There's not a ton of seating, but it's worth stopping in to go. There may be a metro station right across the street--I know there's tracks, but I'm not sure exactly where the station is. There's street parking as well.

The best part about spunky dunkers is that' it's open 24 hrs and I must say the midnight donuts …read more. I'd say a 3.5 to 4. They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

I would love to give 5 stars for just the donuts themselves but not for the service…read more I was introduced to the donuts by a coworker who brought them in to work and I fell in love with them so I decided to go out of my way and drive here to get some for my family. As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.
