The beloved vegan restaurant on the near eastside serves up diner-style classics with plant-based ingredients.
What to order: It's hard to go wrong, but the "beef and cheddar" melt is perfect comfort food and a great place to start for the plant-curious.
Thinly shaved seitan slices are covered with a cheese-like sauce and jalapeño chimichurri and piled onto a pillowy soft brioche bun.
Yes, but: I'd go for a side of fries, rather than the mac and cheese next time. While the elbow noodles are tender, the flavor is a little too different from the traditional version of the dish to scratch that itch.
Cost: $12 for the sandwich and $3 for the mac and cheese.
Pro tip: If the melt isn't on the specials menu when you visit, the buffalo seitan wings are also a solid choice.
If you go: 3301 E. 10th St.
Open 11am to 8pm Sunday-Friday and 10am to 3pm Saturday.
