Went in for lunch on a Friday. We got seated right away. I'm gluten free and got the gluten friendly pancakes (strawberry). The strawberry syrup was thinner than regular syrup, but maybe that's what it's supposed to be. My husband doesn't have any diet restrictions but he liked the GF pancakes. We shared that and the meat lovers scramble but substituted a couple of the meats for spinach and mushrooms, which made the meal seem less heavy. Most meals were about 1300-1500 calories and the portions were big, so I'm glad we shared. The food was good and so was the service.

Has a good variety if food for all (vegan, gluten free, etc.). Very tasty foods with friendly service. There's a wait for a table but once food was ordered, it was delivered promptly.

I only went to the vegan / gluten free / oil free buffet, so I can't speak to the regular menu. I really enjoyed all of the vegan bread options, at the time they had samosas which were my favorite! I do wish they had regular drinks, rather than only water bottles. It's pretty rare to have an all vegan buffet, so I really enjoyed that aspect of not having to worry about what I could eat. It was quite a treat, and you wouldn't know based on the flavor that it was gluten-free and oil-free vegan!

Absolutely our new favorite place to visit! We wanted something walkable from the Thinkery, GF options and kid friendly. It checked all those boxes and more. Biggest pancakes we've ever had in our lives, and our gluten free kiddo had SO many delicious options. Something for everyone and a great place to beat the heat!

Omg it was awesome! I learned something new about local plants in their garden, had a delicious pumpkin spice latte, and was quite cool under the shade and fans outside despite the 90 degree weather. Love that it’s got my favorite falafel truck out front too. They have several Zucchini Kill vegan and gluten free options and the overnight oats are vegan and gf too. The falafel truck out front also has gf options. I love that they seem to have a focus on sustainability and ecological responsibility too. They have reusable mugs/ tableware if you dine in and lots of pollinator-friendly plants. [Edited to reflect menu changes Oct 2023]
