    Upstairs outdoor seating

    This is a cozy, welcoming spot offering delicious coffee, pastries, brunch, and lunch. The menu is VERY vegan friendly, and (I think) entirely vegetarian. I love how accommodating the owner is with special orders. On one occasion, I ordered avocado toast but wanted both tofu scramble and coconut "bacon" as toppings, a combination not on the menu. Another time, the owner made a custom salad for me that wasn't on the menu. This business is taking COVID-19 very seriously. Masks are required by workers and customers. The door is left open for improved ventilation. There is outdoor seating upstairs, though you may have to ask for access if the gate leading to the stairs isn't open.

    Good bagel and cream cheese, black coffee. Fast friendly service. Convenient parking. Decor reminiscent of Denver coffee places.

    "We need to move to SC and within walking distance of this place" were the first words…read moreI spoke to my wife after having come down from NJ on a solo trip to see my mom. I landed at the Columbia airport and hopped in the rental to go check this place out before I made my way to my mom's place about 45 min away. I didnt know this was still a carryout or delivery spot until I got there- they have some patio seating but the chairs inside are all stacked to the side. The gentleman at the counter was super polite and mentioned he would he happy to help if I had any questions. Today's menu included bbq popcorn chkn, so I got the plate with that and 4 sides- collard greens, double mac and kidney beans. I was told there were large orders ahead of me and there would be a 30 min wait. Not an issue if you read below- and now I was extra curious! I sat in the car and was texted barely 20 min later that my order was ready. Here we go... I made it about 10 min into my drive before I found a place to just pull over and eat because the aroma of the (what felt like) 5 lb plate was taking over the car! My mouth waters as I write this a day later. This was proper vegan soul food, heck this was proper soul food. Collards were tangy, sweet. salty and melted when you got a forkful. Mac was creamy (i dont care if they were shells, they are just a vessel for flavor), and the kidney beans were spiced just right and the perfect compliment. Chkn was still crispy and tossed just enough in sauce not drowning in it. I got through half the plate (and I have an appetite) before I was plain stuffed. Good thing too because I remembered I was sharing this with my mom when I got home. Euphoria quickly turned into gluttony-remorse but not a bad remorse at all. This food was bangin, slapped, all that, fire, toothsome, bussin' - I would have slapped my momma but I have too much respect (and fear). On a related note, am I the only one that is classically conditioned to salivate when I hold a warm, heavy styrofoam container without even knowing whats inside? You know, when you first hear that styro-squeak as you open the lid, get that first whiff of deliciousness and your eyes first go to the condensation on the inside of the lid as you slowly pan hollywood style to the food in the plate, complete with theatrical glorious music playing? No? Guess its just me. Back to it. If there was even room in the container- all it needed was a slice or two of plain white bread, nothing fancy, sunbeam style is perfect. Summary: RUN here. Don't sweat the prices, portions are huge. Always support local-esp when the product is straight sorcery. Warning: If you are prone to back problems, you may want help lifting the plates. To the owners if you are reading: Please open up in NJ and Thank you!

    This is a standard diner setting with counter service and some amazing art decorating the walls…read more Each piece has a name (possibly artist name) and price which I am a huge fan of; sell that art honey!!! They have a variety of supplements for sale also which is nice to have in a local shop that's not a big chain. I tried their Sexy Red juice which was delicious. I am a morning juicer, usually apples, beets and carrots so I was very excited to see a beet juice on the menu. I had their walnut eggrolls and quinoa Mac and cheese bowl. I called them immediately and asked what kind of sorcery is in these egg rolls because it was the best Eggroll I've ever had! It was crispy on the outside and nutty on the inside. The sauce tastes like hoisin and bbq had a baby. It came with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce that I paid no mind to until my daughter dipped her Eggroll in it; it's delicious. The Mac and cheese bowl missed the mark for me. While the topping which had beans and the cabbage were delicious, the pasta in the Mac and cheese was overcooked and the quinoa lacked in flavor. The service was friendly but there was a longer wait than expected for the food. Expecting to spend a few minutes in the wait for food but it was so so so worth it. Definitely recommend

    An absolutely must try if you are in the area!! Ok, I must be honest....I recently have gone…read morevegetarian and never really ate a lot of meat anyway. I was very leery to give it up al together because of taste. But wow, this establishment hit a home run. I tried the kale salad, carrot dog, egg roll, and phish....and let me tell you. All of it was very tasty and did not skip out on taste. The staff was outstanding and very personable....you feel like family and the cozy dine in area has an upbeat ambiance that would cheer up the most down in the dumps person you know. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend.
