    This is some of the tastiest healthy food I have ever had. Everything on the menu is vegan and gluten free. I am not a vegan myself and I think anyone could find something to enjoy here. We had lunch, but the breakfast dishes that we saw coming out looked incredible. If you like guacamole, do not miss it here - so good!

    Warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable and caring staff really make this a pleasant dining experience. I ordered a side of Mac n cheez which was so delicious and full of flavor and the super Cindy wrap which was also great. Reasonable prices and quick service makes this place a 5/5 for vegans and nonvegans alike imo.

    The wraps are huge and very filling. This is my favorite place for quality ingredients. Service is outstanding.

    I'm not vegetarian, but done right, vegetarian food can be amazing. This was very good- the food was pretty good, plus the experience as a whole was great. Lots of interesting stuff on the menu, but I love pad Thai and had read the very mixed reviews, so I had to try it. Flipped a coin and got brown rice instead of the kelp noodles, though I was curious about those. Came out pretty quick, looked good, tasted good. Loads of veggies on top of a big portion of rice, with what looks almost like maybe tahini on top but is in fact the sauce, with ground almonds, coconut, dates, and a touch of heat. All works well together. It's not pad Thai though. It's hardly even similar, and I think they should just rename it. If you read the menu description it explains exactly what is in it, but if you gloss over and just read the name, you might be disappointed. It's good stuff and can stand on its own. The menu also includes "bacun," "sawsage," and other cutesy stuff. Some people need to be persuaded to try new things, I guess, or reminded of things they used to like, but just forge ahead and call it something new, since it really isn't like the name. Anyway- healthy, tasty, fresh, and fast. And reasonably priced for quality and quantity. Plus it's a cool little place- not really small, I think there's a room next door, but cozy. And service was excellent. I interacted with several people including Portia, and all were cool, helpful, and friendly. They were moderately busy at lunchtime, so it wasn't always the same person checking on me, but they stayed on top of things. Parking note: be careful, tight parking perpendicular to what can be a busy street. And there are several doors here, not all usable, plus the health food store also has a sign that say's Portia's, so make sure you are headed into the right place. It is almost at the north end of the two little strips.
