This healthy, hip, vegetarian joint exudes a funky vibe with its colorful decor and entertaining menu item names, such as the What’s for Breakfast breakfast; the Beet Goes On salad; and the Three Little Birds, Burrito Babe and Portabella Stache’wich lunches.
Breakfast is served all day and includes a gluten-free quiche special, while lunch begins at 11 a.m. and includes a pizza of the day made with a gluten-free crust.
But that doesn’t even cover half of the menu.
“Smaller fare” items include hummus or baba ganoush with choice of whole-wheat pita bread or veggies ($8.50) or both ($11), avocado toast ($6), rice and beans ($4) and more. And then there are acai bowls ($8-$8.75), smoothies ($6-$7.75), freshly made juices ($6.50 for 9 ounces and $10.50 for 16 ounces), kombuchas on tap ($4-$8.25), coffee ($2.50-$4.25), tea ($2.50-$3.50) and a pastry case filled with delectable desserts, including raw chocolate. Yum!
