"When Hella Vegan Eats’ three-year tenure at Classic Cars West ended, owner Sofi Espice rebranded as Gay4U. It’s been a roaming, mostly-brunch operation, with occasional pop-ups for pizza and other tasty items, all of it intended to build and nourish a thriving community during a challenging time. (“Community” gets tossed around all too often, but here, trans people of color eat for free.) Amid a crowdfunding campaign to help establish a proper space for performances and events, Gay4U churns out jackfruit tacos, chickpea-seitan burgers, and a well-loved “bruja bowl” full of roasted vegetables and witchcraft. If this isn’t peak Oakland positivity, nothing is." - Peter-Astrid Kane
"Wildly popular pop-up Gay4U Vegan Eats (formerly Hella Vegan Eats) is open for takeout inside the former Fat Bottom Bakery space at 1327 Peralta Street, Berkeleyside reports. Its policy of offering free meals to trans people of color continues, the restaurant says via Instagram, which is the best place to find its current menu and operating hours." - Eve Batey
