A bohemian Andersonville cafe-meets-gift-shop that’s long been vegetarian-forward and genuinely workable for vegans when you order with intent. Come for a cozy sit-down coffee break, grab a sandwich or salad that’s naturally meatless, and finish with a vegan-friendly dessert when it’s available.

Cauliflower al pastor tacos, Mushroom chimichurri tacos, Quesabirria
What makes it special: Vegan tacos that still deliver the saucy, satisfying taqueria feel.

Cardamom latte, Spinach pie, Baklava
What makes it special: A café-style brunch stop anchored by cardamom-forward drinks and pastries.
