Friendly owner/chef, fresh ingredients, and bright flavors. I especially enjoyed the goat cheese and strawberry combination on the flatbread.

WOW! My boyfriend has been fully vegan 6 years and he said this was the best vegan food he’s ever had (he’s picky, too)! I can also say this was hands down some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had. I loved the owner. She is Australian and had a special Australian dessert when we went. The food was So good, we ordered more to go after our lunch to have it later for dinner. We live 2 hours away, we had been hungry and decided to stop off of the highway. Very random detour to this best place ever. We definitely will be driving back (2 hours) to eat here again! I feel the owners energy has something to do with the way this food tastes, seriously.. you can tell it is made with love. Amazing atmosphere, nice owner, fantastic food!

Although we got our food to go, we were pleasantly suprised at how large and inviting the dining area is; the menu is small to allow for changing weekly menu and fresh produce. We got the Flatbread with vegan macadamia cheese, roasted veggie wrap and couldn't resist the lafayette for dessert. The only disappointment is that I can't get there more often, but I will definitely be trying to get to this hidden delicious gem whenever I can.

THE most delicious chocolate raspberry cake I’ve ever had - would never know it was also vegan. Beautifully decorated and so delicious.

Amazing vegan food! I love the desserts and I'm not even a sweets person. Her teas are amazing. She really adds a spice of love to her food. The salad is my favorite and the spicy mushroom tacos.

I was first introduced to Donna's food last summer during a rooftop yoga event. She had some treats there. They were incredible. I was finally able to make it into her restaurant today. Got there around noon, not crowded. We ordered our food, sat down drinks and food was brought to our table. The environment is very spacious and calming. I enjoyed my time there. I do wish they had more comfortable seating. Overall it was a lovely time.

I had a strawberry cake there that was moist, creamy, and refreshing. The hibiscus lemonade was equally good. The spicy tacos were too spicy for me but my husband loved them. The vegan sausage roll was scrumptious. A different day I had a slice of quiche it was delicious! Definitely recommend!
