Inventive vegetarian & vegan fare w/ unique twists; known for creative burgers, unexpected sides & stellar desserts.
Brooks Headley's vegetarian and vegan eatery in the East Village offers a unique dining experience with creative and adventurous dishes. Originally known for its vegetarian burgers, the expanded space now boasts a vintage diner feel and a menu that pushes culinary boundaries. From innovative beet preparations to stuffed cabbage and a signature quinoa-chickpea burger, there's a dish to surprise and delight. Don't miss their highly recommended desserts, especially the peanut butter pie or the seared malt cake with cream cheese gelato.
This vegetarian and vegan restaurant is lauded for its creative and often surprising dishes, with many highlighting its innovative approach to plant-based cuisine. While the signature vegetarian burger remains popular, many reviewers suggest exploring other menu items like the seasonal sides, unique sandwiches (such as the yuba verde or TFT), and exceptionally good desserts. However, a significant portion of feedback points to high prices and small portions, leading some to feel it's no longer good value, particularly compared to its earlier iteration.
"Highly recommended dishes include the yuba verde sandwich, the TFT (tofu fried tofu) sandwich, seasonal sides, and various desserts like the date shake, pearl pie, peanut butter pie, and seared malt cake with cream cheese gelato. The focaccia and waffles also receive praise."
Customer feedback is divided, with many praising the creative vegetarian dishes and desserts, while others find it overpriced and the portions too small. There's a notable nostalgia for the restaurant's original, more affordable location.
