I've been here & ordered from here several times in the years I've lived on the UWS. I like their GF baked goods since I'm a celiac as well as their bowls of steamed veggies. But like so many others, the service is absoultely deplorable. All I can say is thank god there are now other options in the neighborhood like Blossom Uptown and Organic Avenue. Anyone who's been to enough fastfood joints knows that it's always faster - not to mention more sanitary - if the person taking your order & your money isn't the same person actually making your food. Like other reviewers, I've seen the staff sitting around shooting the breeze as if they're bored out of their minds, like there isn't a line of hungry people waiting for a table or to place a take out order. I've also been placed on hold for more than 5 or 6 minutes while placing a phone order. I get the whole thing about creating an environment where people want to work, where the boss views their employees as whole human beings and not semi-robots, etc. But none of this should come at the expense of your customers. The bottom line is that you have a business to run and your business should first and foremost focus on your customers before the self-actualization of your employees.

The food is fresh and healthy. The best part is you don't feel like you are in a vegan restaurant. It is great food that stands on its own.

I've given up trying to order form this place. it's either busy when you call , it rings forever without anyone picking up , or they put you on hold for 5 minutes..I like their food but the crappy ordering system has made me a former customer .

i LOVE this restaurant, especially since i am a vegetarian and there aren't many restaurants in my neighborhood where i can eat EVERYTHING! the great thing about this place, is that my friends (who aren't vegetarian) love it too ! great place for herbivores and omnivores alike!

New York needs more excellent vegan restaurants, and the people who run this one know what they are doing. So, please open more locations! Everything on their menu is delicious. Waitstaff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and the service was quite fast. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience! Wish I could get up there more often.

The sweets are delicious! I had the Cinnamon bun this weekend and it was to die for! And carrot cake is the best! I'm just not sure how "healthy" they are... The woman at the counter couldn't really answer my questions....especially on how the cream cheese frosting is vegan. But it was delicious!!

I have dined here many times. I was very pleased to see another restaurant with gluten free options. However, the staff does not appropriately handle gluten free items. The gf baked goods are kept in same area as gluten ridden cookies and cakes. They use same thongs to grab them. Nice idea to make gluten free options, but they don't have trained staff to make salads in different bowls or keep bread away from gluten free items...
