This is a great place to eat. I was curious about for their fried oyster mushrooms and they were other worldly delicious. We shares with our tablemates and everyone enjoyed them. We had a small bowl of their vegan posole which was very flavorful and satisfying and filing. We shared their falafel wrap which was packed with great fillings and three or four falafel balls. Also very satisfying. My complaint may be aged based as I'm older, and also I also used to work in the food industry. This is a counter service restaurant. You get everything yourself, they bring out the food. Explain to me why at the end of purchase, there is an automatic 18% tip? You can change it, they suggest 20% or 25% (FOR NO SERVICE) and right below a button to customize or offer no tip. I am not going to be a shmuck and not tip at all, but starting at 18%? I gave 10%. I've watched the industry deal with wage issues. I know the margins are thin for restaurants. Maybe it is hitting me more since we just came back from Spain, where there is a different price for sit down verses bar and no tipping (and a whole different culture of how we care for people). But assuming 18% or more tip for counter service is audacious. Will I recommend this place? Yes. This is a great addition to vegan/vegetarian and gluten free food scene in Denver. They also offer chicken and fish and pork for the meat eaters. It's cool and hip and welcoming. The food is tasty. Try it.

Very quaint, cute spot that takes reservations! Amazing food with solid gluten/ grain free options (can sub zoodles or spaghetti squash for pasta - hefty portion!). I had the Bolognese. I think it’s important to remember that our restaurants are having hard times right now! Yes, we did have a little confusion with the staff and our reservation but it got sorted out. The staff was genuine and cared. If you’re in a hurry, go elsewhere! We are grateful we can go out to eat and support a local place.

Love that I can get a delicious breakfast sandwich on GOOD gluten free bread and it does’t crumble or fall apart! Looking forward to trying other items, a bit pricey for a deli counter but overall it’s a good spot! Coffee was good too.
