Plant-based meals are served at this bright and busy cafe. Dishes are hearty and made to order; expect teriyaki tempeh bowls, mac 'n' cheese (made with creamy cashew and almond sauce) and creative salads. All-day breakfast is served too. Fresh bread and desserts provided are by the cafe's sister bakery, With the Grain. Popular with university students and baby boomers with man buns.
