Go to this spot once and you will keep coming back.
And watch out- if you have the BREAKFAST BURRITO, it WILL ruin the rest of them in the Boulder area. So be prepared to say goodbye to your old favorite. Yes, it’s that good. (See pictures if you don’t believe me)
Thanks guys and thank you to the kitchen staff too.
The menu felt a bit scattered and not very enticing. It was hard to understand what flavors would pair well together.
I ordered the green chili. It initially came out lukewarm and had to be sent back. When it returned it was extremely salty. It honestly tasted like a year’s worth of salt in one small bowl. The pork inside was also surprising. Instead of pulled pork, which is typical in most green chili, it contained chunks of ground pork which created an unpleasant texture.
I also ordered the chicken quesadilla and did not realize it had pesto on it. The flavor combination with the green chili did not work well and the quesadilla itself was not very good.
After eating I ended up with one of the worst stomach aches I have had in years. My heart rate went up and my tongue had a strange sensation similar to the reaction I sometimes get from MSG. I do not know if any was used, though the reaction felt similar. The stomach ache continued for a couple of days.
My friend came with me because she has several food intolerances and was excited to explore the menu. She ordered the cauliflower, gnocchi, and the almond brownie. The brownie was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The roasted vegetables with her dish were also very good.
The cauliflower dish was a huge portion and unfortunately not very good. The gnocchi was also disappointing and she only had a few bites. The next morning she woke up with red spots on her skin that seemed like a reaction to something she ate.
I truly appreciate the idea behind this restaurant and the effort to avoid seed oils and offer alternative ingredients. I just wish the food itself had matched the vision.
I ordered a cup of the house soup, which came in a small ramekin for $7.75. The flavor had potential, but it needed more seasoning, and I found myself adding salt to bring out the taste. My daughter ordered the tomato soup with grilled chicken and cheese ($26.22). She enjoyed the soup — it was nicely balanced — but the grilled cheese was unexpectedly sweet and served in a tortilla, something she didn’t love. She said she would skip the grilled cheese next time but would order the tomato soup again.
We also shared the cauliflower wings ($9.99), and this was the biggest miss of our visit. They had a gelatinous texture and were extremely spicy. The gentleman working — who appeared to be the only person running the restaurant at the time (cooking the food and bringing it out) — asked how everything was.
I explained the issue with the cauliflower wings, and he mentioned it might be due to tapioca starch. He offered a brownie, which was kind, but I was surprised the wings weren’t refunded, especially since the plate was barely touched. Having been in management myself, I would have expected a different approach to guest satisfaction.
The environment itself is cute and inviting, but overall, the food quality didn’t quite match the pricing for us. Our bill came to almost $55 with tip, and based on what we experienced, it didn’t feel worth that amount.
I’m not writing this to bash the business — I think there’s potential here, especially for those seeking dietary-conscious options — but improvements in flavor consistency and customer experience would really elevate what they’re trying to offer.
Tania is always very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and the ingredients of the food, as well as very friendly and she makes you feel welcome every time. She recommended the chicken cesar wrap and it was one of the best meals I’ve had!
I also ordered coffee and it was very tasty as well, just as if I had ordered it out of a coffee, if not better!
Just hosted a 10-person meeting, and we ordered Just Be. Everyone was thrilled, especially with the person who ordered the spicy cauliflower for the group.
It is so great to have a place that cares about inflammatory foods closer to home (and I don’t have to cook from scratch).
I have been on the autoimmune protocol diet for over 8 months now (am in the reintro phase) and it’s great to see food options on menus that are dairy free and egg free. And having confidence in the ingredients list or crosscontaminatio n.
The dishes we had (Passion vegetable curry chicken and Rot buffalo chicken wrap) were sized for more than we could eat and packed our leftovers to go. The curry seemed spicier than I expected, but I have not had a lot of spices in the last months, so it’s possible it’s just my reaction.
The desserts look just like the traditional recipes. Yes, some dishes may not look or taste like the originals, but this is food for those that actually need it free of allergens. So I think the reviews about consistency and taste don’t have a place here – have you tried making these at home?
Prices were decent for Boulder and we also purchased a brownie mix bag to make at home (mine will be an egg free version).
Staff was attentive, friendly and served us some brownie bites while we were pondering our choices.
Will definetly come back.
Plenty of clearly labeled options for many different diets, including vegans, gluten free, non dairy, refined sugar free, legume free, etc.
My delicious toast order was ready in under 5 minutes!
