I've been trying to eat there for years, but they close early in the afternoon, so I never got a chance, until Saturday morning. We decided to have breakfast there on our way to Detroit. First of all, the place is super cute, very clean and the staff is welcoming and friendly. They don't have many items you could call a breakfast, so we went with the burrito and the special of the week, waffle party. Both were good, well seasoned and tasted really home made. They should mention that the dishes come with sweet potatoes, not regular ones, as not everyone likes sweet potatoes. My husband doesn't, so he wasn't very happy when he got the plate. I had to eat them. The warm salad could have more seasoning. Overall, we were happy with the food and everything l, the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the price. Not that there is anything expensive going into the food, chickpea tofu is far less expensive than soy tofu, homemade sausage too if you compare to fake meats. For that reason we probably won't be coming back. $20 for a waffle sandwich is too expensive in my opinion.

Always tasty, freshly made, and worth every penny. This is quality comfort food without the side of ethical dilemma. Get your tasty breakfast bomb that has a spicy kick in the biscuit! I usually get that or the red dwarf burger. Really, you can't go wrong here. I've never had a meal here that wasn't tasty. The carrot b*c*n is thinly sliced carrots marinated in tasty sauce. You won't even miss the real bacon. Service is always friendly and the interior is super cute.

Go here every 2 weeks and really enjoy the fun specials they offer and creative names for it all. The bakery options are delightful and the first thing we pick to save as our dessert as they sell fast. Only wish the food has a little bigger size in portions. You have to check out if you are vegan and in the area.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. We went at 10 AM and there was only 1 more table there. I've been told that place gets extremely busy and food takes long. Our wait for food was about 20-25 minutes. Everything is made from scratch and made to order. The quality of food was very fresh. Flavors were really good. Textures in the food were great. Presentation wise it was pleasing to look at. The menu changes weekly, so do not get hooked on one thing for too long. As the owner has versatility in menu choices, and always picks great weekly specials. The restaurant overall is kind of tight squeezed, there is ample seating though. Clean atmosphere, and there is really nice decor. You can tell the owners put a lot of love into this place. Sadly they close at 3 PM and we're not always able to catch them before they close. However It's definitely worth the drive!

This place is perfect. The vegan food is well balanced and interesting. It's original with familiar ingredients. We tried the breakfast bomb and the chicken waffles. We shared them. Excellent food. Nothing was greasy and it was all cooked to perfection. I'm gushing in this review over the food because it really is that good. The ambience is casual, kind of pop, sunny and welcoming.. there is a space cat vibe and it's ironic and humorous. This is a fun place to be. This place is a gem. I highly recommend eating there.

Everything is vegan except 1 thing. I love that. The waiter was super nice and very informative. Everything is made in-house. They have weekly specials, and they sounded pretty good. But I missed nachos, they were delicious!! I'll be back for more of that. Also, I grabbed a small plate, half size grilled cheese (very buttery taste but good) with chickpea nuggets (ok) + magic sauce (good). Then I tried my friends cheeseburger burrito, weird item, lettuce welded, but my friend enjoyed and only stopped eating from meaning full.

This place is fantastic! I spotted it last weekend when I was at Bobcat Bonnie's and saw it across the way. I told a bunch of friends and we came here for brunch the very next weekend. This is an adorable space with super cute decor. The people working here were all very friendly and helpful. There were so many interesting dishes to try we did not know what to order there were too many things we wanted to try. I got their cheese sticks since I had seen them online here, on Yelp, and they looked really good. They were incredible! So good and hot and crunchy. Funny enough, they reminded me of my favorite cheese on a stick at Cedar Point in the best way possible. I could see getting them every time. I look some home for the family to try and they loved them too. Their magic spacecat sauce was also amazing. It tasted like a spicy version of a Big Mac or other fast food burger sauce. So good, you can taste the spices, the mustard, probably a must order on the side every time you visit. They sell it as well. It would be worth purchasing the bottle for home. I also tried their special of the day jalapeño biscuit sandwich. I believe it had scrambled tofu that looked and tasted like yummy eggs, a homemade sausage patty which was delicious, I believe vegan cheese and dill ranch. It was a tall thick sammy. So good and flavorful! I also took some home for the family and they also really enjoyed it. I am sure they would return with me to order more. They also sell cookies and other pastries. They mentioned they were recognized by PETA for their cookies and other customers around were eating them and said they were good. I did not have room but maybe next time. I enjoyed the cute diner atmosphere and this has to be one of the most unique and delicious vegetarian restaurants I have visited in a very long time.

First time visiting!! This place is cute and sits on the street with multiple restaurants. The service was great. We placed the order and waited vs ordering online. It took about 15 mins and it was fresh. My husband said the food was good, but wishes he would have went with his first choice of the chicken and waffle sandwich. He did mention the greens could have been a tad bit seasoned more, but overall it was still tasty! The salted chocolate chip cookie....AMAAAAAZZZZIIIIINNG!! I wish we would've bought some back with us! If the desserts taste anything like this cookie, then I know it's good! They have a nice variety of vegan food and the website spells everything out for you especially if it's not vegan. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because of the parking situation. I didn't see a garage near by and we were lucky to find a spot I front of the building, but I can imagine parking being an issue. I'm sure we will be back when we visit home again!

I'm a regular at this place for a reason! My partner and I were looking for a good breakfast / lunch joint that had options for both of us because I'm gluten free and he is lactose intolerant. All the servers are great and Coco is especially knowledgeable about the food and possible modifications to certain dishes (try the quesadilla with Burmese tofu added! So good!). The specials are always interesting and my partner is never disappointed by the cookie of the week. Their batch brew coffee is Hyperion and better than your average diner joe. We've also never had issues getting a table, which is a huge plus considering the weekend brunch scene around Ferndale. I've never had a bad meal here and suggest you check it out even if you're not vegetarian- and get the cheeze sauce on the cosmic fries when you do!
