In Short – Philosophical discussions of Kafka hum at this vegetarian cafe run by neo-hippie goddesses. The decor is pure college dorm room, with oriental rugs splayed on the floor and Indian saris hanging by clothespins. There's even a bongo drum if one is so inclined. The bowl o' green is filled with brown rice, beans, collard and mustard greens, topped with the tofu-based house special sauce. Mexican-inspired dishes like enchiladas are stuffed with tempeh rather than traditional fillings.

A Guilt-Free Delight!!!!!
by 242008
This is my favorite vegetarian restaurant! You have to try the bowl of Greens! It is so delicious my mouth is salivating as I write this review!!!!!!!!! :) Aside from the food, and decor is fun and it's within walking distance to the beach but the indoor sitting is small and the service has always been bad (the waiters never smile) but the last time I went there (a few weeks ago), the service was remarkably good! The waiter was very friendly and SMILY and our food came out very fast! I think all of the bad reviews about their service might have reached management because I really noticed a difference in their attitude!
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Small indoor dinning area

Too cool for customers
by sharbo
Very good food. Stuck up service and usually very slow. Fair prices. Closed at 4 pm really means 3:30 pm but you should know that cause they gotta eat lunch too! (that's what we were told). Have actually left before without service because we were ignored for so long. Watched the waiter bus tables instead of servicing us (the place was empty).
- Pros: food
- Cons: service

Close to heaven!
by epicuriousla
So, I'm going here tonight, and I'm just so excited! I love the veggie fair, it's healthy, it's super tasty, and really creative. The staff is friendly. And you feel really good about what you are eating! The Sproutata is one of my favs. I love the tahini dressing! The local is great too! Just steps from the beach and charming Riviera Village. Portions are generous, and the prices are great too. I just feel so relaxed whenever I walk in! While I do eat meat, I don't eat wheat or dairy, which makes this place a double blessing! Heaven on earth? It's close.
- Pros: DELICIOUS! Grate value
- Cons: none that I can see
