Whether you’re vegan, or just had a rough night last night and feel like you should be putting something healthy in your body for a change, this place knows how to do brunch. So much so, that if I didn’t tell you it was a vegan restaurant, you’d probably never guess that the sausage in their home-style breakfast wasn’t really sausage at all!
