“Veggie Delight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

This is a gem we found in NOLA. Very flavorful food. We went here twice during our 3 day trip. Both time for lunch. Veggie King sandwich is amazing, so fresh. We had Veggie Gumbo one day as special and 2nd day was a veggie soup which was equally good. They have a lot of good options for non-veg people as well.
We also ordered broken noodle sandwich - was a lil sweet for our taste (We love spicy food), however, ingredients were fresh.
I would love to go here again whenever i go back to NOLA

“Art, Food, cool place to chill”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2013 via mobile

We are visiting New Orleans and saw the reviews for this place. Really nice change of pace from the rest of the restaurants. Their menu is focused on healthy options which we like. Husband got the Rico plate and I got a garden salad. Very nicely done. Experience was great!

“AMAZING BANANA BREAD CAKE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

This place is really great. I got the seafood Gumbo and it was fresh and beautifully cooked. The lace itself has a lovely feel to it with some really good art and the staff are really friendly. For dessert I got the Caribbean banana bread cake, which was divine! I highly recommend this place - it even does gluten free/vegan/veggie options as well.

“Unbelievably good food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

Everything we had was so delicious, first day - broken noodle salad and acaraje, second day - super fresh veggie sandwiches. AMAZING! Places like this are so progressive! I feel they are helping to open people's minds to healthy vegetarian and vegan options.

Try the mango juice!

Lots of cool galleries and shops nearby, check out Dirty Coast for some legit, very cool New Orleans paraphernalia and sweet T-Shirts.
