Scrumptious! So thrilled they opened a new location within walking distance of my apartment. Vegan and raw options; delicious organic smoothies, wraps, salads, gluten-free items, etc.

Best coffee in the neighborhood and DELICIOUS food, including tamales. It's great for breakfast or lunch. I often work there with my laptop; it's a cafe vibe kind of place. Super busy during brunch on weekends (and breakfast on weekdays sometimes).

They do sushi in a cup. It sounds gimmicky, but I am telling you the rice is out of this world (get the flax seed). The fish is also fresh and the rolls are creative. Vegan options there too. Not awesome as a dine-in place. Get it delivered or take-out.
