Generous options of vegan food. On the pricey side but they are huge portions! You could easily split most entrees. Made to order so allot time for the preparation of everything.

The owner was knowledgable and helpful during my visit. The best way to order is in-person since the cafe updates the menu regularly. People scan the QR Code to see food and drink options. This is a organized and clean local place that supports veganism, makes whole plant based and gluten free food and drinks from scratch. For individuals with nut allergies, be aware limited food and drink options are available. If people want to avoid the crowds, I highly recommend to dine in at the cafe's opening time.

That impossible burger, seasoned to perfection with a crunchy twist. ? ?My husband had the Buddha Bowl & was a Happy Camper.The atmosphere was welcoming and our service was on point.Well Done B'Gabs.

I am posting my absolute honest review and still hope for the prosperity of this business and owner/ staff.I've patronized on 4 (maybe more) separate occasions. I've wanted to patronize more but the Owner's attitude has been very cold and comes off as slightly rude. I recognize that some days are JUST BAD! I don't expect for her to run around with a chipper attitude...Some days we all just don't feel like smiling of giving a kind greeting! lol I get it! I've thought well maybe she just had a rude customer right before me.... but after so many times visiting and this is still the case...... somethings got to give??!Now, the food here is absolutely amazing. Hence why I keep coming back! (lol)The portion sizes don't generally bother me but I can see how some would deem them as small.Again... THE FOOD IS BOMB!!!I was/am so excited for this business and I truly hope they do thrive. I do hope that the customer service can get better... its a big deal.

Got food allergies/intolerances? This is the place for you! B'Gabs does real scratch cooking, so they know what's in EVERYTHING they serve you! The food is fantastic, too. Such a gem of Hyde Park.

I had the hummingbird cake, fish sandwich with fries and this was the best vegan food I have had in the city a hidden gem you must try. My partner had the philly cheese steak said it was really good a little too cheesy for him he’s not vegan nor a big fan of vegan cheese though so still highly recommend. They also have a well curated selection of other health items for the holistic everyday person including a section where you can refill spices, herbs and powders which I plan to do you can bring your own jar but they have theirs or they can give it to you in in one of those bags and then you can refill your jar. There’s also beautiful art on display and for purchase.

I really wanted to like this place, but the staff was rude/cold, the portion sizes were extremely small for the price. But the main reason I'm leaving a negative review is that they refused to fill up my water bottle even though I ordered $40 worth of food and tipped! I either had to either pay for water or pay for a cup of water. That just rubbed me the wrong way.There are plenty of other black woman owned vegan restaurants in the city with much better service and kinder people (Kale My Name) and I am looking forward to going back there.

I purchased an impossible burger yesterday from B’Gabs. As usual, her food and creativity and culinary giftedness did not disappoint.This sandwich was impossibly delicious! Excellent with perfect seasonings. Well done!!!

Fabulous vegan kitchen. My favorite is the Twisted Colada smoothie but there are all kinds of interesting items. It's one of my go to weekend treats and I can highly recommend. This is a great place to try especially if you're looking to support a black-owned, woman-owned, local business.

I can highly recommend B'Gabs! I had the fried chicken and it was made using a unique type of juicy mushroom, coated in a homemade artisanal batter.The service is also top notch. A very welcoming and friendly experience. I will return one of the next times I am in Hyde Park.
