We are from out of town so discovering this place was really interesting considering the location of such a grungy area in downtown. There are a lot of homeless and street parking only outside. There was only one single man working which I assume was the owner of the business who took our order and made everything. He was very friendly and welcoming. Although, the food was good the prices are pretty high as we paid $65 for just the two of us. I don't ever see myself coming back here but for anyone actually going to school or living in the area it seems like a great cafe to chill out.

I really wished I could give a good review but I unfortunately wasn't a fan of the açai bowl. The…read moreaçai was way too sweet and didn't really pair well with the matcha. The ratio of açai to matcha was like 85:15 and I would have liked more matcha. I thought the bowl was nicely presented and I especially liked the crunch from the cornflakes (definitely get that as a topping). There's also some frozen strawberries inside the açai itself which was nice (gave the melting açai more texture - the cons of getting it delivered). The fruit on top was pretty fresh too. But the bowl was smaller than I expected and quite pricey.

These are sickeningly sweet.

I called after it was delivered and was told that it is indeed sweetened with agave syrup. I make these at home when I can with plain acai and the added fruit and granola make it perfectly sweet. I could only make it through a third of the portion and feel as though I've swallowed a bowl of candy.

She actually made this frightening experience much worse with her terrible attitude. The bottle nearly blew up in my daughters face and could have been very serious if not deadly.

I will never shop here again and many people I have shared this story with have agreed.

****UPDATE The owners are extremely understanding and…read moreaccommodating, and it is very evident that they care a lot about their customers. They contacted me a day after to explain the situation, and have even taken steps to remove the Big Veg off the menu based on my suggestions/comments. The owners are two very heartful and dedicated women. It's wonderful to see such passion and care! ***END UPDATE Came here today for lunch with a friend! I ordered the Big Veg (a bunch of vegetables wrapped in collard greens) with their nutty bacon, and a side of sipping broth. My friend got their Seed to Sausage on beet bread, also with a side of sipping broth. The service there is very friendly, and it's a very hip and cool place! I love the concept, and it gives off a great vibe. However, my first experience was less than ideal... The Big Veg cost me $9, and with the sipping broth ($3), the total should have been $12. For some reason, they charged me $15, and so I asked for them to correct it. The correction took a while, but eventually they gave me back in cash. However, the cashier mistakenly gave me less than the amount owed, and overall, the entire refund process was quite slow. That being said, they were very apologetic and kind through it all, so the service was pretty good! My Big Veg fell short of expectations. First off, I must note that it is a take-out place. Although they had warned me beforehand to eat my wrap as a gyro (as the collard green is fragile and cannot sustain the content's weight), by the time I had arrived at my sit-down destination, the paper bag was soaked through. The sauce and dressing had leaked everywhere! It was a very messy eat, and despite being very careful, the sauce just kept dripping down my arms and in front of me. I would highly suggest that they reinforce the packaging for stronger protection (i.e., a double wrap). The wrap itself also lacked flavour, though that may have been in part due to my decision to get the nutty bacon (which was essentially just hemp, fried walnuts, with some smokey flavour). Maybe try the cheese or the actual bacon for more taste. The bone broth, though interesting, could have used more depth and flavour. Given my experiences, I would have given two stars - however, I had a bite of my friend's Seed to Sausage sandwich and it was quite tasty! I think it really depends on what menu item you ordered. Hers had the delicious smokey taste of the sausage, and was very clean and aesthetic!

I asked for my drink to be "less sweet". Their mango diamond slush even has chunks of fresh mango at the bottom--so good. Their pearls are chewy and sweet, just the way I like 'em. I can't really speak to their other drinks. I know they have teas and smoothies, but I would definitely come here for their fruit slushes, and I would definitely ask for pearls!

It has a…read morelittle upscale vibe which we weren't expecting and looking for as we were in a rush to eat dinner and get going. Despite that, we decided to stay hoping it will not take long to get food, eat and go. The server was very nice, he provided us details on current specials and have us time to decide. I believe they change menu seasonally as some of the items I did see online were not on the menu. I went with the wild mushroom Flatbread and husband got their burger with fries. Food came out pretty quickly and it was delicious. The Flatbread had a nice and strong mushroom'y flavor, fries were fresh and nicely seasoned and the burger was amazing. The sauce that they gave worn the fries was delicious. You could really taste that the food is higher quality. We also got two cheesecakes to go (espresso and vanilla with berries) but these were a disappointment. Not sure if because they were in the car for 3h (I still put them in the fridge for 30 minutes before we ate them) or they are just not the best. Not sure. They were also very tiny pieces for the price. The entire dinner was on a pricey side but we enjoyed our and I would recommend this place for a date night or if you want to get something more high end.

Based on reviews, we decided to stop at this wonderful restaurant in this charming (and hopping) neighborhood. The food was excellent! We especially enjoyed the beef bourguignon and the brie en croûte (although the brie could have been just a bit more melted). My oat latte was superb. But the thing that made our visit particularly special was the service. I called ahead to see if they had a patio so we could dine with our dog. I was told that although they have a sidewalk patio, it was closed because of inclement weather, but if we were willing to chance the weather, they would set up a table outside so we would be able to dine with our pup. We showed up and they pulled a table outside, and the server was a good sport about serving us in very windy weather. At least the rain stayed away!

It was filled with apple filling, some cinnamon icing on top, and it was fresh and not heavy. As a tourist, I appreciated not feeling rushed.
