Delicious!! Tons of fancy, huge and healthy salads with delicious toppings. I got the Arugula Salad. I’m dairy free/vegan, gluten free, and limiting specific items in my diet right now (nightshades are a big one) so I appreciated being able to ask for no cheese, add garbanzo beans and avocado. There are of vegetarian/vegan options. The pickled fennel was surprisingly delicious! This was the best salad and one of my favorite meals that I had on my entire week-long trip in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos. Plus there were so many options in the food court for dessert, coffee, kombucha, or other snacks nearby. Was a bit surprised that this was a food court (we were intending to find a sit down restaurant) — but this was far better.

Better than the reviews! I hesitated to eat here with the low rated reviews before me, but I’m glad I decided to try it anyway. The service was pleasant and timely, and the vegetable omelet was amazing! I will come back for wine and desserts next time!

After spending most of my day flying in from the east city coast I wanted something healthy and substantial to eat! My meal was just that and more! You can get breakfast all day. I ordered the Breakfast Bowl, removed the scallions, added pickled beets, and avocado. The Hollandaise Sauce had a little bite to it which complimented the entire meal! Service was wonderful and the staff polite and personable. Planning on returning today for lunch!

A Must-Visit for Breakfast Burritos and Sandwich Lovers! I’ve been to this gem of a restaurant three times now, and I can confidently say it’s become my go-to spot for an amazing breakfast burrito and incredible sandwiches. But it's not just the burritos that shine here. The sandwiches are equally impressive – You can really tell they put care into every meal they prepare. The staff is always welcoming, and the atmosphere has a cozy, laid-back vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a spot that serves up consistently great food with a friendly touch, this place should be at the top of your list!
