Its been 6 months now (this is our first venture) and we continue to try and adapt to customer needs. We do now have a vegan option for everything. We have also lowered the price on 95% of the menu, though its hard to lower it any further because: 1) We don't freeze our vegetables, only fresh ones are used 2) We use bio-degradable take-out packaging and earth friendly cleaners 3) We try to be as health-conscious as possible eg. we sweeten our teas and lemonade with agave nectar and not simple sugars. As far as coffee is concerned we are still on the fence, however the ROMA coffee substitute is good, please come try a sample. For those who enjoy our food thanks a bunch and please come again. For those who didn't, please come try us again. Thanks :) and peace Hello all,

I only went this last month and nothing seems in tune with your review--except the super friendly employees. Perhaps they stepped it up a bit since their opening... My 5 spice burger, while store bought, was not left to its devises. The burger was treated well with the spice and condiments, and given a healthy side of blue corn chips and corn salsa. My dessert was a slice of carrot cake, which was the size of two slices, and it was moist and tasty even through the travel of delivery. My sister found out that everything has vegan option, which was not true at the opening. I've only been one other time, for dessert, but I hope to go again and try the menu.

In Lincoln, where I live sometimes and where Lauren lives, there's a coffee house where you can get vegan scones and muffins (and soy and rice milk, obviously), two grocery stores where there's vegan deli food, a vegetarian place with lots of vegan options, a Greek restaurant with a vegan menu, and Indian restaurant with a vegan menu, and a pizza place with an international beer bar AND FYH mozzarella. Which they manage to melt. Given that Brooklyn has to cater to a lot more than 250k people, I'm thinking that Nebraska wins. Or at least, Lincoln does. What’s up with the Nebraska-bashing?
