"Livbud is a restaurant from the Heavy group (it owns Purple and Pablo y Pablo, among others) that had the bad fortune of opening when extensive road work was being done on Stone Way out front. It’s worth walking around the construction though — Livbud has an extensive menu of small plates, toast, granola, and other bites, much of it vegan or vegetarian (there’s a lot of gluten-free options as well). It does coffee and alcoholic beverages too, making it a great all-purpose hangout from everyone from laptop warriors to first daters." - Eater Staff
