Customer Reviews
very good food, a quiet and beautiful scenery near the cafe. affordable and there was no wait when we went in the afternoon! i would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
Amazing picturesque views of the Valley! Whether you’re coming in or leaving the area make a stop to soak in the view! Portions are big, and food healthy tasting yet very flavorful, try the side-salad with strawberry-habanero vinaigrette with your dish!!! The main room is huge with panoramic windows and comfortable seating! Beautiful outdoor covered seating. All dishes can be made with “Just” eggs and vegan cheese.
The food is probably great but I wouldn’t know. We walked in at 11:30 AM on a Sunday the place was about a quarter full and they informed us that they wouldn’t serve us because they were too busy. I think they need a trip to the Integriton because they are completely out of integrity. I think any place that wants to stay in business should at least be able to serve customers in accordance with their advertised business hours.
Tasty food in a wonderful environment. Keep in mind that they have a rotating menu, so check their website to see what they’re currently offering. Also, there is no takeout & avoid coming when you’re short on time. I enjoyed David’s winter noodle bowl & the coconut curry is a must try! My husband loves the vegetarian burrito and the Vortex Burger. I appreciate that their prices are more reasonable than other establishments. Love walking around the grounds before eating here.
We love this place!! Secluded seating outside in an artsy fun area with a koi pond and trails all over...one leads to a magical little gift shop full of fun little trinkets like candles and crystals and the lady is so sweet in there.. this whole place is friendly people and the price is great, food is great, I'm in love with the Arugula dressing and for now the seasonal portobello mushroom burger on pretzel bun, it's amazing!👏
