Review: ALL VEGAN, GOOD QUALITY, AND GREAT HOSPITALITY!!!! It is always refreshing when there is top notch customer service, especially in Portland Proper. I did not catch the persons name but this last Wednesday she was there ***hint to owner to give a bonus*** The atmosphere was great. It was seating in a covered patio. I would bring a jacket during the winter but that's an assumption. But it's eclectic and you have to watch out for a dinosaur plant. If you're taller like me you will bump your head into the branch that lays over the walk way. It's not a hard plant but it will give you a startle. Now, for what matters, the food. It's good. The tacos are not traditional, so don't go here if you can't handle fancy tacos. I got the BBQ ones and they were so full of flavor! If you're a big texture person they have a hard taco option, as these were soft on the inside and outside. The watermelon gazpacho was interesting. It tasted great!!! But I wanted a straw as it was like spooning a savory aguafresca. The quesa was great as well. The only food item we didn't like was the Chipotle chorizo 'meat' on the Ceasars salad. It tasted like the soyrizo stuff (it is handmade just a simular taste and texture). The salad was good. It had a perfect blend of seeds and big crispy green kale. But overall 5 stars in food. Finally the cocktails. We were skeptical as the mixes are pre-made in house.... but they were so flavorful! The mango margarita I recommend (my counterpart had 3). I loved the jalapeño Mojito it had spice but it wasn't overwhelming allowing it to still be refreshing! And the Mezcal based Poloma was good, but if you don't like smoke flavor avoid as the Mezcal used is ultra smokey (which I liked). Overall this place is a must go to in my book. I was surprised we were alone when we were there. They have a small menu but everything we had we liked.

Review: A most yummy find in St Johns! You grab a menu at the front, find a place to collect in the back garden (which is very well laid out and comfy). The food is all vegan, and delicious. I had the tacos. I wanted more of the tacos. They were amazing. Very friend people working there. All in all, a most excellent discovery that will take me back to St Johns even though I live quite south in the city. It's worth the trip!

Review: This place was awesome! Delicious food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere in the outdoor, covered seating. We shared the nachos and the taco Mac & cheese and a mango pineapple iced tea. My wife is gluten free and dairy free and I am not and I couldn't believe how tasty and perfectly cheesy both dishes were! The cauliflower based ground beef replacement made me feel like I could totally skip ground beef for dishes like these.

Review: OUTSTANDING!!! All VEGAN!! The cauliflower “meat” is crazy delicious and really special!! Oh, I know many people comment on the friendly owner, and you don’t care because you just want to know about the food…. BUT, she is really awesome and definitely adds to the experience. She had me LOL.
