"For bougie bites, I go here for a vegan burger that’s a saucy delight: few burgers in the Bay come standard with Umaro’s Berkeley-based seaweed bacon and Violife’s dairy-free cheddar. Marin County–raised Joshua Spiegelman’s upscale fast-food spot also turns out one of the most impressive homemade patties I’ve had, comprised of quinoa, black beans, brown rice, and dates (among other things), which makes it a high scorer in my book. At $15 it isn’t much pricier than the competition, and the veggie patty can even be subbed into other sandwiches — a rarity." - Paolo Bicchieri
