I attempted to pay for my food and wanted to pay on another card than initially given. I was given the card back and the window slammed in my face. The employee refused to give me service. I said this wasnt good customer service and asked to speak with someone from management. The employee stuck up his middle finger and tapped on the window with either a can of mace or some other kind of weapon. I called the stores number 4 times and was hung up on each time. I called the the police and was told the person who was doing this was the owner and that this location has been sprayed people with mace men and women numerous times before. I frequented this place for over 10 years, unfortunately it will be no more. I was actually able to get pictures and video of the incident even with him holding the can of mase with my back totally turned to him.

A vegan/vegetarian fast food stand that offers the tastes of an old fashioned drive-in. The food is good but, the service is slow as each meal is cooked to order. Drive-thru service is offered. You will probably prefer to eat in your car or take the food home. The limited patio seating is in full sun most of the day, and the covered alcove on the north side of the building isnt much cooler. No inside seating or public bathrooms. Prices are moderately expensive, especially when compared to a conventional food stand. Free parking. Wheelchair accessible with some difficulty, due to one low step. Be sure to ask for a glass of water, when ordering, as the outside water fountain is off.

This place has been the vegetarian fast food place to go to for years. It shut down for a while but I noticed it recently reopened and went back to check it out. It is literally the same place it always has been. The burgers are very good, but they will fall apart. The chili is good. The hot dogs are good and the air fries will not disappoint. My favorite thing is either the chai or peanut butter shake. They used to have a carob shake which was better then either of these, but these will do. If you want to skip the meat some day, check this place out.

I usually go here a couple times a year when im.passing through and usually order the African burrito but today I ordered the breakfast burrito and had no idea it came with the fake meat(for some reason i get a headache every time i eat fake meat)inside, took one lil bite and did not like it all. I called to see if I could come back and get my usual but to no avail. The man who answered said theres no trial tasting and that theyve never had a complaint about their food before. How rude, poor customer service..too bad I wont be back

Im sick of this places inconsistency. You never know if its going to be open or not. I remember it closed a couple years ago. I would have figured theyd learn a thing or two from closing down. But nope, I just tried to go here tonight, a little over 5 minutes till closing, and the guy waves me off from inside. I can see the clock inside is saying exactly what my phone says. Just complete laziness or they simply just dont care. But this is the last time Ill ever try to go here.

Love it! Been there twice and I love the whole concept of fast vegan food. The fries are good. The Orean burger has good flavor. The tofu burger is great too. The shakes are thick. Im still thinking about the soft-serve ice cream cone I had yesterday! And the best part for me is that its all dairy-free. Im not Vegan but have a serious dairy allergy. So you dont have be Vegan to enjoy this food.

I went and I ordered the chicken teriyaki burrito, a soda n a soy ice cream. The burrito was not that good, I didnt like it. The soy vanilla ice cream lacked flavor. I must admit very nice and polite workers, and the food was fast. I didnt like my first time, but I do see myself going there in the future to try some of there other items. I give this place 3 out of 5 stars

Ive loved everything Ive tried so far! The bbq Philly cheese stake may be my favorite food item Ive tried so far. Since becoming vegan 8 years ago I have not had a milkshake, and Ive missed them, so I was excited to see they have them here. I tried their chocolate milkshake, and it was the Best thing I have had in a while, loved it!

Chai dairy free shake was AMAZING. not overwhelmingly chaiy, which was great. I got the simple bean burrito, which I really wish I would have known was black eyed peas instead of beans which changed the overall taste. not really my thing, only made it through half before I tossed it out. will probably go back and try other stuff.

African Burrito was great. Strawberry shake came out neon pink, like a super bright pepto bismol drink and tasted like crushed tums. Was probably sno cone syrup mixed with crushed tums and pink smarties candies with some non dairy creamer and ice. NOT GOOD. Terrible way to add $5 to a quick meal. Super disappointed.

This place is excellent. Their food is healthy, relatively cheap and very creative (you can get a BBQ tofu burger!). I wasnt even a fan of tofu till i tried some of what they have on their menu. I was also a fan of the chicken sandwiches they offer. Give it a try and youll be hooked. I recommend the falafel sandwich!

I particularly love their Orean Salad Burger. I confess that I round it out with a peanut butter Super Shake (good stuff!). I generally use the drive thru window and then consume these wonderful items on one of the beautiful tree-lined streets behind the restaurant.

This place is amazing! My husband and I make sure to stop by every time we are in the area! Make sure to get the chicn burger- THE BEST ON THE MENU! The chicn Nugget and air dried fries, and sweet potato fries are the best sides too!

The original vegetarian hot spot is a no frills stand that will have you coming back for more. If you are driving south on Lake Ave after hiking in the mountains just north, this is the perfect place to stop for a guilt free meal.

Have always enjoyed coming and introducing people to this place since the 90s, before the Pasedena location. When I take people who are not into the non meat lifestyle, they always go back.

Had the italian Hot Dog - it was fantastic, spicy, meaty, with a southwestern flair, fried onions, chillies, and mustard. Price was right too. I shouldve ordered two! Will definitely return.

First off all their menu doesnt really list the ingredients. So youre going in blind. Food was mediocre at best, price was high, and service was substandard. Defintely never coming back.

Overall a very good restaurant. Not very expensive, and appropriate portion sizes. Nice, tasty food. I thought the service was quite good. Plenty fast considering it is made to order.
