Heard about this place on Tiktok and from a few co workers.
I don't live in the Durham area but was passing through and decided to stop and try it.
I ordered The Impossible Burger with Idaho Cut Potatoes, also two Soul Rolls, Sweet Potato Pie and a Sweet Tea.
We were very impressed and well definitely return.
This was my son's first time trying vegan food and he loved it.
I would have given them 5 stars but there was a piece of hair in one of the soul rolls.
Other than that, food is delicious.

Thanks, Shenell before stopping by and taking the time to leave a review, we’re glad you had an overall positive experience, sorry to hear about the Soul rolls, that is certainly not a common occurrence and will be reviewing our process in the morning to ensure it never happens again.
I’ll look back through the Orders and make sure you get a refund for those soul rolls and I also encourage you to mention this review next time in for a free side, the large cheese fries are amazing!

Best vegan restaurant I've been to.
The vast amounts of vegan and gluten-free options were impressive and exciting. We ordered the Chicago burger, gf mac-and-cheese, kale Cesar salad, fries, and cornbread. The mac-n-cheese was outstanding! The kale Cesar was across between a Cesar salad and coleslaw.
Next time, I would order the dressing on the side. For our tastes, everything needed a bit more salt, and table salt was not an option. Staff was super friendly.
Interior is quirky and welcoming. If we are ever back in Durham, it will be a must stop!

Thank you Danielle for providing such great feedback! My wife and I are looking forward to finding locally sourced, or upcycled salt shakers for our tables going forward.
We have a lot of low sodium guests so this could be a good way to give everyone a tasty option.
We would love to serve you again sometime, and if you mention this review your next large side is on us! We’ll be working on some improvements and commending our team for their great work! With gratitude- AJ

Absolutely amazing! The food was so good and filling! I had to take half of my plate for leftovers.
The staff is so great, too.
I just want to live here and be friends with you all! Keep up the great work!
