I had the pleasure of enjoying a Sunday brunch here. Anybody who has lived in Columbia long enough knows that vegan (or even just vegan-friendly) restaurants are extremely hard to come by. I recently moved to Forest Acres and found this place by searching "vegan places near me."
I was pleasantly surprised! We walked in around 1pm and were the only people in the restaurant. Our server pleasantly went over the daily menu as well as the "specials" menu which changes every day. About 10 minutes after we ordered, another server delivered chips and hummus to the table, which she mentioned were on the house.
I ordered the breakfast hash, which was comprised of potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, onions, peppers, and vegan cheese. It was served with my choice of two sides, and I picked the tofu scramble (add cheese!) and plantains. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, which came with a homemade secret sauce that reminded me of the barbecue sauce from mcdonalds (in the best way possible).
Although my boyfriend is fully vegan, I am not. I do however often eat vegan meals with him. The food here is delicious, authentic, and even if you aren't vegan you will enjoy the fully flavorful brunch. I personally didn't miss the bacon and eggs when I had a spread this delicious.
This place is a gem and deserves all the patronage. Well worth the drive! I will definitely be coming back to try the other specialty menus they offer.
