In Short
Vegetarian food is king at this bright cafe, where a steady clientele of aging hippies, vegans and other health-conscious citizens chow on diner food with a good-for-you twist....

Food was very good and portions were generous. Had the tofu and veggies for breakfast- would definitely go back. Tahini sauce was bomb!
