This cozy café serves up perfect portions of homemade food. Their menu has a vegan and gluten-free section which makes ordering super easy. We went to the Wells location for brunch. It’s a bright, pretty café with large windows and florals all around. Very welcoming and homely!
We had the Vegan & Gluten-Free French Toast and the Tofu Scrambler with a Vegan Smoothie and Almond Cappuccino. Every dish is freshly made with lots of care. The French Toast was super light and tasty, topped with good quality maple syrup and fresh fruit. The Tofu Scrambler was perfectly seasoned and packed with veggies. Both dishes are a great start to the day! The smoothie is loaded with banana, almonds, pecans, soy milk and maple syrup, making it super thick and filling. And the coffee hit the spot!
The food came out quickly, the staff were all really nice and the service was great overall. A great brunch spot!
