A completely vegetarian cafe situated near the heart of VCU & Downtown Richmond.

Love that the entire HUGE menu is vegetarian and very vegan friendly. It has tons of options, some of which are pretty unique, but in the handful of times that I’ve been there I don’t recall ever being totally blown away. It’s a cafe, so expect mostly sandwich and soups, along with a some entrees.

Overall ambiance is similar to a dark bar. It’s kind of subterranean so very little natural light comes into the restaurant, though you can eat out on the patio if you’d like to people watch.

Bottom Line: If you’re in the area or really hankering for an all vegetarian menu, check it out and support a locally owned Vegetarian restaurant.
