Essence is a hidden gem on Carson St! 🌟 I dined here for lunch and was blown away by the vibrant vegan offerings. The buffalo cauliflower stole the show, with just the right amount of heat and perfectly baked! The fried tofu spinach dumplings were beautifully presented but a bit bland.
We loved the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, and that mint lemonade? An absolute must-try! Refreshing without being overly sweet. 🍋
Overall, Essence offers a delightful experience for anyone seeking comfort food with a healthy twist. Can't wait to return!
