If you have food sensitivities, this place is for you. If you don't but you enjoy delicious food, this place is also for you!Especially delightful with friends, in the sunshine in their sidewalk seating.Their staff are awesome; definitely careful and attentive to dietary needs, and helpful with the menu and making choices. They have been patient with me while I weigh my options, and they offer useful insights.I love their congee bowls and their weird not-coffee drink. The congee bowls are easy to love. The not-coffee (I can never remember the name of it) is not likely to be loved by many, so if you try it and don't like it... I cannot accept responsibility for your risky choices. Dibs out! But if you DO like it, you're welcome ?I haven't tried them, but an acquaintance who is a regular there tells me their smoothies are consistently banana forward. Use that info as you will.

I have not visited this restaurant in person, but had the unfortunate opportunity of selecting them for delivery via the DoorDash application for dinner. While the everything looked great on the menu and obviously there are many good reviews posted here, the food never made it to me.After waiting 45 minutes for what I thought was the preparation of the items in my order, I was very surprised to receive a call from DoorDash. The restaurant had contacted DoorDash to let them know that they were out of some of the ingredients for the items in my order and that they would need to cancel it.While the reason was very reasonable, I am leaving a one-star review due to the fact that it would not have taken 45 minutes to figure out you were out of the ingredients for my three-item order (two power bowls and one taco).Their dishes may be delicious, but maybe try in-person so that you can make sure to get a timely response on what is available and not available.

The food is very expensive. 16$ for a tuna grilled cheese where the cheese was not melted. Literally the size of a simple piece of toast for 16 bucks. That's more than half an hour's work for me I have to work 45 minutes to get that much money to pay for a sandwich that I eat in 3 minutes. Not everything was organic.It's one place I will not be going back to.

First of all... when I walked in, I was wondering what to get I was approached by a kind gentleman named Danny who recommended me to try the mushroom MCT coffee. All I can say is WOW! not only was the coffee amazing, his personality matched it to!! He is full of energy and kindness!! It's so hard to come across great customer service and I am so glad they have someone like him he really made my day! All I can say is, as long as Danny is there you'll have a loyal customer!!

The staff members were so sweet. I pray they always get tipped well. Their food is also dripping with flavor in every bite. It’s made with so much work. Please go and please tip OUT if u can afford to (as u always should, IF u can afford to!). I had to remind myself to chew my food…it’s that good!

Healing and delicious! The Chaga Chai is authentic and yummy. We tried 4 of the pastries, all are moist and flavorful. We are vegan and gluten free. So grateful this place exists! AND most of their ingredients are organic.

In Temescale on 55th a small takeout place with shiitake mushroom tacos, tofu tacos (Just $5.95) and delicious bowls and drinks. The mushroom “un coffee” is great, they offer the powdered drink mixes to go and they’re delicious with whatever milk you prefer. Here they offer dairy, oat, almond milk. Try it!

Delicious tacos. Good selection of vegan and vegetarian options. Gluten free. Tasty organic vegetables!

Met a coworker here for a meeting and got here early for lunch. Got the vegan power bowl and mango smoothie. Clean ingredients and simple and balanced meal. Everything was delicious. May not be filling enough as lunch though.Indoor seating right now is limited to 1.5hrs (understandable bc of the ongoing pandemic), and also no laptops inside according to their signs on the tables. I needed to do some work / take notes on my laptop during our meeting so we sat outside.

The well is my go-to for smoothies in the Berkeley/Oakland area. They also have great avocado toast. Service is a little slow and parking is limited but the food makes up for it
