We went to this place for dinner time (at6:30PM) on a Thursday before the 4th of July weekend. There were hardly any customers at the restaurant - we saw one other party dining in the outdoor area when we were there - and yet nobody came to seat us even after several minutes of waiting (I’m fully visibly pregnant and we came in with our toddler, do what you want with that!). There was a guy working at the counter who was directly facing us to our side who straight up ignored us and a waitress who walked around ignoring us as well and not making eye contact.
After several minutes of waiting, we asked the guy at the counter and seated ourselves. The tables were not clean and again nobody came by. After about 10 minutes of still being ignored by the waitress we left.
This is the first time we had such a strange experience at an establishment anywhere. Honestly we were glad to have been “turned away” because we ended up at Idly express which is a few doors down and it turned out to be SUBLIME!

I got the flying papadopoulos chicken gyro. One friend got the vegan BLT. Other friend got the vegan egg (tofu) scramble with vegan bacon. My gyro was amazing. Great flavor and all Vegan. And I am NOT vegan. So good!!!
Not my friends enjoyed their food. I tried the vegan eggs and they were delicious. I tried the vegan bacon and that was good. Not true bacon but it never said it tasted the same. If you want to explore and try vegan this is a great place. All food was fresh and delicious. Will it be like the other stuff….no. But is it fresh and cooked with the love of good food….HECK YA.

This was an absolutely phenomenal find. I was not expecting much coming into Berkeley trying to find vegan food but thank goodness I was proven wrong. This has got to be some of the best vegan food I have ever tired in the Bay Area. The pulled pork tasted so delicious wonderful chewy texture and bbq flavor. Everything is well seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection! My recommendation for any first timers worried about what to get for the sandwiches is the chicken Parmesan. I will get it every time I go back here. And staff were so lovely and kind.
