    Possibly one of the best vegan restaurants I've had. Everything is fully flavorful and the Crunchwrap burger is loaded. There's some seating both indoors and outdoors, facing the rushing river in a mill-like area.

    Buffalo Mac Crunchwrap

    We stopped here on the way to visit family for a late lunch. Easy to find, plenty of parking. The food was delicious! I had the be-you-tiful bowl which had really great smoked carrots--the whole combination was great. Hubby had buffalo mac crunchwrap, which he loved. I had a taste and wow, that was good mac n cheeze. We also got an order of fresh rolls with peanut sauce--these were generous in size and delicious. For dessert I got a s'mores cookie which had vegan marshmallows in it. Very yummy. We'll surely come back!

    Everything is very good tasting and high quality ingredients, just overpriced to the max. Don't know why it had to be so expensive.... For a smoothie and spring rolls is was $19. That's insane. Even with inflation I can make a dinner for two for that much or less. Inside is clean, good amount of seating, staff is friendly. Variety of menu options. Open fairly late in afternoon so you can catch them in the morning or later in the day. Again, wish the prices weren't so ridiculous so that they negated most all of the positive things about this place. Price Re-check, yes please.

    Fresh Rolls

    Pingala Cafe is probably my favorite spot in Burlington for vegan food with a nice mix of healthy fresh foods and super comforting vegan fast food. This time we enjoyed the Knuckle Sandwich special which is sooo good. Very yellow mustard forward which I don't usually like but I loved this! We also got repeat items we love, the dumplings, and fresh rolls. In the past we also got the crunchwrap, mac n cheese, nuggets, and broccoli... all absolutely delicious!

    Crunchwrap burger and views
    Blake I.

    Y-U-M! This place is vegan heaven there were so many options and all of them good. Visited on a sunny day and the outside seating overlooking the waterfalls is a bonus. The crunchwrap with the spinach and carrot burger was a winner. Was put off by the chipotle aioli but was assured it wasn't spicy and it was not . Smoothies are flavorful and rich without being overly sweet. I wasn't a fan of the peanut butter cookie, some spices that didn't compliment the taste. Pricing is reasonable for the amount of food provided. This is a must visit whenever in Burlington, VT

    Yummy vegan spot located in Burlington, VT. We especially enjoyed the Mac and cheese and the burger crunch wrap.

A fluffy egg battered in a batter that makes it tasted exactly like chicken fried steak (etc.). I got the Raven, which was alright, but I was stealing bites from the number 9 someone else ordered. We were a little dubious by how filling the sandwich would be, but it held us over until the next meal. Reasonably priced, divey, but expect to come out smelling a little greasy after your visit!

I had great expectations because of reviews and I hate to leave a negative review on popular places. The cashier/server was friendly, and the place has a classic small American café vibe, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food really missed the mark for me. The "crispy cheese" just tasted burnt rather than crispy, and there were way too many greens--cilantro and parsley--which completely overpowered the sandwich. I also didn't care for the sauces at all. Overall, it wasn't a good sandwich. I didn't even finish it and ended up going somewhere else to eat. Between the long wait and the disappointing food, I don't think I'd come back.

Servers are made to feel incompetent over the smallest mistakes, like one error suddenly ruins everything, yet the kitchen is apparently allowed to make mistakes without the same treatment or accountability. The double standard was impossible not to notice. What really shocked me was seeing staff get yelled at in front of customers. At one point I saw a server visibly holding back tears after being spoken to so harshly. It created such an uncomfortable atmosphere while trying to eat breakfast. The kitchen staff was also loudly cursing throughout the restaurant. It made the environment feel chaotic and hostile, especially considering there were kids around. Honestly, I didn't want to hear that either while trying to enjoy a meal. Manager Kim also came across as snarky and arrogant toward staff, which completely put me off. The attitude from management overall seemed toxic and dismissive. The food itself was fine -- nothing special, but reasonably priced. Unfortunately, decent prices don't make up for the environment. I also witnessed staff openly talking badly about people behind their backs, which only added to the negativity. Overall, it was a horrible experience, and I can't justify supporting a business that appears to treat its employees so poorly. No restaurant is worth that kind of environment.

My ranking was The Cubano, the Love maker, the PBB and Bee, and then the Apple and Brie with a Blueberry Compote.

As out-of -towners we were gently guided through the process - get a number, snag a table, stake out your claim, and return to the counter to order your food. We got drinks and waited on getting served. They were busy, so there was a bit of a wait on our order. That is completely understandable as chepes must be individually made rgt before serving. What came out totally matched my expectations. I had the Apples&Brie. Technically "Savory" but is adjacent to "Sweet" The perfectly cooked crepe was filled with crisp sweet Vermont Apples, creamy gooey brie (from Vermont cows perhaps?) and Vermont Bluberry Compote. Not overly sweet and a yummy mix of textures and flavors. My best beloved had the Lumberjack. A very manly item filled with Ham and Cabot Cheddar. He ate every bite which indicated his approval of the meal. Highly recommend this spot for a casual delicious treat any time of day.
