Lentil soup
Dave G.

Super friendly service - welcoming off the bat. Stopped in for lunch and had a healthy salad bowl and lentil soup. Flavors were good (soup needed a kick of salt and pepper) but be prepared to wait for the dishes as they are made fresh for you. A solid healthy choice for a lunch stop.

Vegan doesn't mean tasteless. At the counter, we were given a genuinely friendly welcome, and one of the two kind women patiently (and really cheerfully!) answered all our questions. One thing not mentioned in their menu: They have 3 options for the buns in a "hamburger": Wheat bun, 24 grain bread, and a gluten free ($3.50 extra, which is shown in the menu). They have specials written on a board that changes (likely daily). Including the two shown on the board, there were 5 choices for burgers. There were also 4 types of bowls includnig the one on the board. I shared a Punjabi Village Bowl, and a Fiesta Style burger (added a side salad for $4). The burger was absolutely delicious. It was an interesting combination of a crunchy exterior and moist interior, and very flavorful. The Village Bowl was also delicious. My only minor niggle is I wish the Punjabi bowl had a bit more flavor ("spicy cilantro chutney" made me think it might have some heat, but it did not). They have a lovely seating area outside in the back, with very clean picnic style tables, and a very pleasant garden. Something I don't usually comment on, but deserves a mention here. They have two unisex (one person) bathrooms, that were very clean (at least the one I visited was). (FYI: For customers only.) Service was so genuinely kind and happy that it just makes the entire experience so nice. But it doesn't hurt that the food was scrumptious, and with healthy options that are as good as possible to find at any restaurant (and certainly better than most).

Ask for extra crisp sweet potato fries

Still excellent service and food. TIP, ask for extra crispy sweet potato fries. Otherwise they are soggy limp.

Delicious and wholesome food! My whole meal was flavorful and filling! Friendly staff and a great garden seating area!

BLTA, potato salad, BBQ mac and cheese, fruit smoothie -- all 100% kind (animal-free)!
Marinate G.

We stopped at this delicious vegan restaurant on a road trip. The service was super friendly and efficient. The food was SO tasty!! We loved everything we tried including: - exceptionally authentic potato salad - perfectly toasted, smoky BLTA sandwich - just-the-right-sweetness-level blackberry smoothie - creamy BBQ mac and cheese Portion sizes did not disappoint. We left over full because the food was too good to get a takeout box. Looking forward to the mixed berry pie we got to go. After trying to piece together plant-based meals (hello, french fries) from regular restaurants coming up the coast, a true vegan eatery was hugely welcome! Non-vegans will love it , too! We sat inside at the front table and had a little view of the water. The back garden looked lovely as well.

A younger blonde haired gentleman took my order and man was he sweet and friendly! I told him it was my first time here and he helped me through my order and made suggestions along the way that ended up being amazing choices! I ordered the Philly sandwich with fries(and all 3 seasonings). While I waited for my order I used the restroom which was spotless. The restaurant and parking lot were also clean. The young lady, with dark hair, who brought my order was also super kind. I took my order to go. Snuck a few fries on the way home. The food was still piping hot when I arrived home. The sandwich melt in my mouth! Wow! So good! Smokey, tender, cheesy.. DELICIOUS! I'm not even a big fry lover, but their fries were delicious. I'm a fan! I will be back and this may just be our go to place from now on when no one wants to make dinner! Excellent job to the staff and owner!

We were seated right away and our waitress gave us window seating so we could have a river view. I told the waitress it was my daughters birthday, hoping they would do something special for her later. We ordered a few drinks and made our food order. It took about 20 minutes before we were served. I ordered the burger and fries. My hubby ordered the fish and chips and my daughter ordered the mac N cheese. Everything looked good, however, my fries were lacking warmth and my burger bun was stale. It was not soft and fresh. I ended up not eating the bun, but just the burger itself. My daughters mac N cheese wasn't as great as she expected either. It was bland and dry. Yes, it had cheese, but it was stringy and not creamy. My husband loved his fish and chips. Hot and fresh and looked amazing. I did have a bite and it did taste really good. Note taken: Do NOT order anything but the fish and chips. When we were finished a new waitress gave us our receipt and asked if we needed anything else. I wanted to tell her we needed more water, but we were ready to go. I wish they would have filled up the carafe of water "before" I was about to leave. And..on top of that...no birthday surprise for my daughter. Some places sing a song or give a small dessert. But nope...not here. Oh well...I think I'll skip this place for any kind birthday celebrations.

It is located in an older building right on the main highway just as it gets into town. It has a lot of promise. Service was friendly, and the coffee quality was good (I had an oat milk latte extra-hot, which was prepared well). I'm taking a few stars off for two reasons, though. The first is the food quality. I had an order of Avocado Toast, which was uninspiring. It was just a single piece of bread, with some avocado spread (I doubt it was from a fresh avocado) sort of slapped on. I didn't taste much in the way of salt, pepper, or other seasonings. If they aren't going to stock whole avocados, I'd suggest they take the avocado toast off the menu. The second reason for taking a few stars off, though, is the the atmosphere. There are religious materials for sale (meh), and I suspect that helped attract a crowd of people that, frankly, I'd rather not be around. The tables on both sides of us were talking about the glory of Elon Musk, forcibly deporting people, etc. Obviously a coffee shop isn't responsible for the obnoxious beliefs and conversations of their patrons, though I suspect that they attract that crowd through the religious materials they sell.

Spacious cafe with friendly staff. Couches, stuffed chairs,…read moremeeting room in back for large gatherings. Welcoming Christian vibe and soft music. Board games available. Why not a 5? Unfortunately the coffee itself isn't up to par. If you add flavors no problem. If you like your coffee black you may detect a sour off putting taste. Just go with the mocha. Overall I do recommend Kaffe 101.
