The menu is very carefully developed and very well prepared. It's a Berkeley kind of experience, upscale place with a young professional type crowd, but menu is largely vegetarian/vegan.

This lunch was my second time eating here; the first was dinner before a Cal Basketball Game. Dinner has more options, but this lunch was great. It was also way less crowded at lunch , but we also arrived around 1:15. The four of us shared 3 appetizers, two pizzas, and a bottle plus two more glasses of wine. We... More

We went for lunch after a recent cal graduation. The place was packed. The menu was fairly limited at lunch and we had pretty mixed reviews at our table, some outstanding, some just okay. Nice service and fresh ingredients though, which was appreciated!

This new, nicely furnished restaurant is right across the University. It is clearly popular, and unfortunately also quite noisy. We went for a Friday lunch, and the place was packed. The very nice waitress told us that everything on the menu was special. Unfortunately it was not. The sandwich was barely more than two pieces of fried bread. The soup... More

Everything we tried was delicious. Wheat pancakes where so wholesome, but light and fluffy still! Too many amazing options, we wanted to try everything. Also have great coffee from Thanksgiving Coffee Roasters

We met another couple here for dinner a week or so ago. It was their suggestion and close to their home. LOVED the name of it; simple, sweet. Yes, we gathered together to have a wonderful meal! It's close to a BART stop, too, so I do think it's an easy place for people to gather if you live in... More

Enjoyed a wonderful brunch there on the 2nd. They use local ingredients for the freshest flavors. Even if you are not a vegetarian you will find many choices. Our daughters loved the Hen of the Woods & Fontinella pizza's. My Bressica Scramble with leeks was out of this world. My husband ordered the egg breakfast sandwich and said it was... More

I had a cauliflower soup and a kale salad that I will remember forever. The restaurant is reasonably priced and very comfortable. I highly recommend!
