What our guests are saying

They have the best food, amazingly tasty bagels, you would never know it was vegan food from the locks to the eggs and bacon, cant go wrong with the ruben, everything is just so tasty. Highly recommend this place, only open for breakfast and lunch. We bought day-old bagels and put them in the freezer. Other great deserts and food items to choose from also. You can't go wrong. You'll love it, trust this meat eaters on this vegan restaurant.

One of my favorite go to breakfast/ snack spots. They have a nice selection of vegan deli sandwiches, bagels, cream cheeses, pastries, and classic deli sides like potato salad. They also sell pickles, matzo ball soup, chips, and coffee with oat or almond creamer. You can get a meal with a bagel sandwich of your choice, a side (which includes matzo ball soup- my sons favorite) and a drink for around $15. The bagels are delicious and they have many different flavors. I usually get the bacon egg and cheese bagel because it's always good. I've never tried one of their deli sandwiches but my husband gets them and he loves them. And it's all vegan which is a huge win for the animals and the whole world!

Outstanding vegan deli! I had the Reuben and my wife the Turkey Bacon Club. THE best we have had! Everything here is vegan, including the pastries, beefless jerky, pasta salads - you name it! Prices were reasonable. While this is mostly "to go" they did have several tables and chairs outside. Seriously great food! Absolutely recommend this eatery!! They also have another deli in Oceanside, which we will visit soon, too!
