When I first moved to town about a year ago, I found this place by chance. Looked at the menu in the window, saw the vegan options, and it has since been a regular, although occasional, spot for me. I tend to always order the burrito. I have found that it consistently out-performs other vegan platter-style burritos (Cricket Cafe doesn’t even come close). The flavors are rich, the beans are done in sort of a smoky southern/southwest style, the portions are large, and the side of potatoes are plentiful. I have a large appetite, and it is a rare $8.00 meal that can fill me up. This dish comes pretty damn close! I also enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, and that it is almost never busy. Sometimes I feel reluctant to tell people about this place, because I feel like I am betraying a close-held secret. However, the food is excellent, the coffee refills are plentiful, and the atmosphere is a welcome change of pace from the hectic Portland Brunch scene.

I went there for brunch on Sunday. Thank you for the suggestion!. I couldn’t decide between the french toast and burrito so I had both. I did like the French Toast but it still isn’t better than “fronch” toast from vegan with a vengeance.

Who knew it? A bar with not only good breakfast food, but vegan at that.

I went on a weekend — 10:15 Sunday and no line — so couldn’t try these pancakes I keep hearing about. I agree that the French toast was nothing special, but is any place more casual than this? More filling for the money? More inclined to make you just want to hang out?

Also, I believe the main room is now smoke-free, so part of the place’s semi-negative reputation is no longer.

Enjoyed the write-up!

That french toast.
It is the french toast of my dreams. Yeah. Sure its just blendered tofu and nothing profoundly unique. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to skip class and drive down to laurelthirst upon seeing this picture of it.

(And they serve it with a slice of orange? and now I can’t eat any french toast without squeezing orange juice on it.)

Thumbs up for laurelthirst! yay!

Whoa! You just gave me my brunch idea for the weekend! Dreadful that they don’t have the pancakes on the weekends ( i will never be able to go during the week) but the french toast looks good! Yeah!
