Excellent veg pizza - creative!!!!!! I had the vegan once, and it was okay, but I've had better house-made vegan "cheese" - this was more like tofu. The atmosphere is fun, the desserts are yummy and the service is friendly. The salads are also yummy. There is also a kid-friendly section with couches and a chess board that's roped off when the "nightlife" starts.
Govinda's is a simple little establishment with simple, but tasty food - mostly vegan. The staff is very friendly. The price for the buffet can't be beat ($7.95 for adults), but almost every time I've been there (which is usually close to closing), they've run out of the best items before we can get seconds.
Best vegan biscuits & gravy in town! This can be a very busy place, with waits as long as 45 minutes, but it's usually worth it. Only one time was our food not up to par, maybe it was a new cook or something because it's usually pretty consistant. The vegan powerhouse with spicy peanut sauce and tempeh is excellent and very filling. I also like the vegan French toast. The service is friendly.
Very fun atmostphere - kids love it. Friendly, fairly quick service and the burritos are very creative. I can't ever remember the name of it, but I always get a vegan burrito with bbq sauce, plantains, and I think sweet potatoes? I think all the cookies/bars are vegan.
Excellent food and friendly service. I don't know about healthy though (there's plenty of oil and sugar and food coloring), but definitely very, very tasty! I go once a week and am never dissapointed. Lotus Delight is a family fave as is the vegetable chow mein and deep-friend "prawns" appetizer.
This is the most creative pizza I have ever had! I ordered the vegan - chef's choice. I must say, if you don't have an adventurous pallet, you'll probably want to create your own pizza. Mine had broccoli (and not little pieces - they were trees!), sliced potatoes, dried apricots, cranberry sauce, cinnamon, etc. How fun! I chuckled the whole time I was eating it - btw, two slices were plenty. The artwork on the box was so cool! I've been told that some folks collect the boxes and hang them on their walls.
I had take-out, so I haven't actually waited inside PRI for a pie. But it's been recommended NOT to go hungry. Not that it's necessary, but sometimes when you have a product that is so ridiculously good and unique, you can get away with slow service and sometimes, and not-so-clean establishment.
I'll most definitely go back!
What a cute (and clean!) little restaurant! The food is organic, mostly vegan, and mostly local. Even the wine, beer, espresso drinks, and sodas are organic. All the desserts are vegan and so delicious.
The restaurant just opened for lunch - I believe the hours are M-F from 11am - 2pm. Dinner is 5pm-10pm Tues - Sat. The food is delicious and the portions are plentiful.
Very fun atmosphere and the food is awesome, but I can't say that I've gotten very friendly service - the bar staff (usually a chick) come across as impatient if you don't know what you want *immediately* Sometimes it's hard to find a place to sit, as it's a popular place with minimal seating. It's fun to sit outback, weather-permitting. I had a really good vegan pizza here, and several times I've gotten the hummus plate - filling and very tasty. The portobello sandwich is excellent!
This is an all-vegetarian natural market. Mostly organic, tons of local food/produce. The staff is very knowledgeable about vegetarian non-food items as well, such as vitamins. It's the cutest little store, and the staff is very friendly. The hot and cold food bar is awesome with mostly vegan selections and the bakery case (by the registers) is all vegan. OMG! The macaroons are to die for!! Can't believe they're vegan *and* have no sugar - they're made with maple syrup and brown rice syrup. The vegan cheesecake and apple crisp kept in the cold case (by the hot/cold food bar) are really good too! The cheesecake is very creamy and impressive for being vegan.
You know, there are so many great reviews for this place, but I have to say, I wasn't impressed. Everything *looks* absolutely fabulous though - I was so excited and my mouth was watering when I saw all the beautiful desserts, and I ordered 4 different ones for a party I was going to - I must say, I was dissapointed with all of them. I can't really put my finger on what it was, there was sort of a rancid butter taste. Maybe they desserve another chance....overall, I think they are highly overrated.

I went to Cornucopia for my first time Sunday night. I was surprised that they were open until 10pm on a Sunday. The atmosphere was fun and eclectic, especially the patio. The service was excellent!! And the food was very creative and delicious and the veg selection was impressive. I will definitely be back...
