“ First off I want to make it clean I am not a Vegan and wanted to try an all vegan restaurant for breakfast. I’m sure their food is much better for vegans the key demographic they cater to. Service was fantastic everyone was very friendly and talkative. The overall vibe felt great. So I was told their biscuits & gravy are a hit so I got them plus a basic breakfast dish including potatoes and what was obviously now eggs or sausage. The biscuits & gravy were indeed delicious full flavor and served hot. The potatoes were great and that’s where I was done. I tried the makeshift eggs and didn’t like the taste and tried their tofu sausage patty and didn’t like the taste. The flavoring was different and I just couldn’t adapt. I assume those who are into that kind of food would enjoy it much more and are used to the particular flavor. I’ll continue to enjoy my bacon and eggs the way I like them but if I ever go vegan this place will be a weekly meal. Respectfully ”
“ Great spot to get your vegan and gluten free dinning in! The blackberry ginger ale was spectacular. Who knew eating with no animal products or gluten could be so delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. ”
“ An absolute dream to dine here for dinner and breakfast while passing through. This is hands down the best vegan food I’ve ever had. The cheese sauce and gravy were exquisite. Lisa was such a fantastic help and recommended the chai milkshake which was SO bomb. As a vegan, this is what dreams are made of. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience ”
“ Satisfied our hankering for a biscuit and gravy breakfast, the gravy was delicious. Particularly loved the fried Mac and cheese bites with that mustardy dipping sauce as well as the flavorful and non greasy tofu scramble. Peanut butter milkshake was also quite a treat, and enough to share. ”
“ The Tofu Benedict is INCREDIBLE! The taste and texture of it is just perfect. The tempeh bacon was so sweet and had such a good texture. I wish I could have ordered two of these!!!! We had breakfast/brunch twice here, and also got takeout to bring on the plane back home. We tried The Mountain, The Avalanche, and got the Breaded Chikun Sandwich and Barbecue Tigers to go. Everything was fantastic and super delicious! Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Had a great experience at Vertical Diner! ”
