• Avocado toast

  by Christopher L.

  
  

• This place has almost NO vegan options, everything has bacon or cheese in it. Its not a healthy food place its just hella trendy and overpriced. 16$ for rice and beans? Not too happy.

• Get the oat latte! It's amazing, not too sweet not too bitter.

  by Marissa S

  
  

• This place was better before they remodeled. Now it is over priced and food is marginal quality at best.

• Lovely little spot, great healthy food options!

  by Zachariah S.

  
  

• No matter the season, get the savory waffle: it inevitably incorporates something tasty in the batter (like asparagus or sweet corn) and comes topped with syrup, infused butter, compote, and lardons.

• back to goodness:-) local produce

  by Mathew C

  by Mike B

  
  

• Cuisine santé, bio, végétarien, vegan, petit déjeuner

  by Sam B

  
  

• The old menu was much better, since the Restaraunt has reopened the service is un attentive and aloof. Food quality has gone down not a fluke after 3 visits we are done.

• Two words: savory waffle!

  by Zachary C.

• Poached eggs! Cobbler! Coffee! Service is great too!

  by Victoria T

  
  

• Great veggie options, menu is a bit pricey, but portions are decent and the food is really good. Space is tight, it's best to visit in the summer where there's patio seating.

  by Chesay C.

  
  

• The Savory Waffle is awesome. Each quadrant of the waffle is like a breakfast in itself!

  by Graham Earley

  
  

• Try the elderberry soda! It's probably the only time you'll drink a soda with thyme in it.

  by Tony W.

  
  

• A quiet little place to hang out and grab some great, local food and a beer or glass of wine!

  by Erik L.

• Savory waffles!

  by Jon Mayfield

  
  

• In the summer, take your pizzas, soups, sandwiches, and such out to one of the picnic tables and meditate on the blooming boulevard gardens all through the quiet neighborhood.

• Try the coldpress with maple!

  by Betsy

  
  

• The recent re-model of the dining room is beautiful, except for the freaky wolf paintings, which will prolly be sold before next time we go. I particularly enjoyed the Rhubarb Ginger soda.

  by Andy A

  
  

• The waffle is epic. Order it. It's an asparagus, parmesan and quinoa waffle, topped with rhubarb jalapeno marmalade, lemon pepita butter and bacon lardoons. LARDOONS I SAY.

  by Tom H.

  
  

• Newly remodeled and offering full service after 5! Fantastic!!

  by Andy A

  by Nina K.

• The Tomato Corn Chowder was delicious. Fantastic bread as well. Can't wait to go back and try the Veggie Hand Pie!

  by Toyo H.

  
  

• Beware. When they say they can "substitute" salad for chips, they really mean they can "upgrade" you to salad for $1.50 more.

  by Mike M.

  
  

• Awesome veggie cafe with lots of healthy options. Line gets long but use your time to explore the menu and take in the fun environment.

  by Claire R.

  by Elizabeth

  
  

• Fast, friendly, bright, and active a meal with the kids at Birchwood bears more than a passing resemblance to the wonder that is childhood. Food is ordered via counter service for the antsy spirits.

• save room for dessert like carrot cake

  by Alex S.

  
  

• Local eat and treatz. Fairly priced & courteous staff! Nomz.

• Wild Acres Turkey Burger

  by  Deon P.

  
  

• Great brunch, but they are incredibly stingy when it comes to refilling your coffee because they don't want you to linger.

  by Naomi

  
  

• The sophisticated Mexi Cocoa is a hit! Made with cayenne and allspice for depth and heat but finished with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream to temper it.This a sweet treat for after dinner!

  by City Pages Street Team

  
  

• Great location and great food. Try the peanut penne pasta salad!

  by Allan E.

• Voted Best Farm-to-Table Restaurant by City Pages in 2012! Both owner & chef are committed to local, sustainable agriculture. This commitment is a perfect example of a virtuous and delicious business

  by City Pages Street Team

  
  

• Voted top 15 places to eat with kids! The food is fresh, irreverent, and ordered via counter service -- an added bonus, since kids are not known for their patience.

  by City Pages Street Team M.

  
  

• Check the table by the menu for $1.50 baked goods, made that morning. Good deals!

  by Tam T.

• Quinoa and waffle are not two words that typically rub shoulders, but here the grain joins forces with asparagus slivers and Italian cheese to give this breakfast standby a savory complexity.
