Delicious and inventive vegan cuisine with fresh ingredients and a lot of finesse and flair. We loved the soup and salad - everything looked amazing and so nourishing! Highly recommend.

I randomly stumbled into this location, and besides it being super cute in there, the staff were so friendly. I chatted with a young lady named Sia and expressed to her I wasn’t sure what to get because I am not familiar with the options. Without hesitating, she ran through every drink they sold and gave me her honest opinion. I so appreciated this and the drinks were amazing. Whenever I’m in the area, I will certainly be visiting! 3

The only reason I gave 5 stars, as there was no 6. Delicious and warm end to a freezing day in Central park. The Spicy Chili Sin Carne was sensational, as was the Moroccan vegetable soup, the mix bowl, and the pasta bolo. 100% organic and plant based. Very friendly and helpful staff... Definitely worth the visit ... We wish this was available in Sydney Australia. Thank you.

The service is awesome and they helped me decide with a few samples what to order. The ratatouille is spot on with the pasta and peas. It was flavorful and filled me up. The veggies were fresh and it’s a great spot for a meal. For the entree and salad and tip I spent about 30. Dinner for a 240lb man and I was satisfied. Will be back.

It's definitely a fast casual spot, think like an upscale Chipotle situation. You order at the counter and can customize a bowl if you like, walking down the counter with the person scooping things into your bowl. It's all vegetarian and all very delicious. They have wine which I appreciate. Several tables and chairs to dine in, but also have takeaway containers.

Amazing experience. Nothing short of what i expect out of this fine establishment. I frequent a different location, but i was in the neighborhood and decided to drop in with some friends. Much to my delight Thimothy provided me service. I recognized him from a different location. Service and personality from Thimothy are always top tier and always make me want to come back. Food is exceptional as usual. Overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Heathy and delicious! I had the Tiebtetan Mama the first visit and it was great- fresh and flavorful- loved the green veggies. Next time I think I would add tofu too. There are so many great things on the menu that I had to go back during my short three day NYC trip. The next visit I went with the seasonal Tutti veggie salad. I swapped the hummus for coconut ceviche. It was phenomenal! Absolutely loved it. Probably more so than the Tiebetan bowl. I’m a sucker for roasted root veggies. Definitely going to be a favorite stop whenever Im in the city.
