This was my first visit to one of this chain' s locations. Impressive decor and menu - had a difficult time deciding with everything on the menu being vegan and sounding delicious.

The place was not busy when we arrived. It is large but aside from the two of us, there was perhaps six other patrons in the establishment.

We went for breakfast. Had the Tofu Scramble. It was absolutely delicious. Nice atmosphere. Prices are typical of Berkeley and San Francisco but won't break your budget. Great location, newly re-done inside. Highly recommend! More
