Outstanding Sandwiches & Salads - Edit
Everything on the menu is amazing - one of my faves is the BLAT and the Caesar salad with a side of fried chicken. You can also order all the items for thanksgiving in November -- stuffing, roast, egg nog, and the most incredible chicken pot pie (there's a shepherd's pie but I like the pot pie best). The refrigerator case has all the Butcher's Son cheeses and other packaged items to stock your fridge - the feta has always been my favorite. There's indoor and outdoor dining areas - but parking is difficult.

Amazing! - Edit
I once brought my non-vegan friends to this restaurant, and they were shocked at how realistic everything tasted. The vegan bacon and cheese is spot-on, along with their cheesecakes.
Read moreI thought I’d have to give this place up since developing gluten sensitivity, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a gluten-free menu on their website.
Pros: All vegan, Gluten-free options, The best!
Cons: Lines can be long

A Berkeley Favorite - Edit
Everything on the menu is delicious. The smoked jackfruit whitefish is outstanding. It’s a bit on the greasy side so best eaten after a long bike ride or hike!

Best sandwiches & brunch - Edit
This is a favorite brunch spot when we’re back in town. The sandwiches are delicious and filling, fun vibes, love the patio, treats (when available) are always delicious (cannoli, donuts, etc.) One year I went on my birthday and got a free cookie. I love taking omnivores here to blow their minds. It can get really crowded for brunch but it’s always worth the wait. We have loved everything we have tried.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Solid portions, Convenient location

It’s whatever. - Edit
I got the chick parmesan sandwich. I hate when restaurants just add a fat blob of tofu, the piece on my sandwich was about 2 inches thick .

We are visiting the area and used the app to guide us here. Absolute yum! We are stuffed full of Breakfast Gyro, Steak and Eggs, and breakfast potatoes. All delicious and worth ordering again next time we are in town.

Greasy and Gross, even the salads are mid - Edit
If I could give this a 1 star rating I would but happy cow physically won't let me. I had heard good things about butchers son so I really wanted to like it but I was so let down. It is overhyped and sooo unhealthy. And look at the reviews on my page, I'm not the sort of person who really focuses on health but damn this made me think twice about eating it. First off, the bread was over toasted and hard as a rock yet was dripping with oil that did nothing to soften it. Then both our sandwiches (the reuben and chicken pesto) were stacked with soggy seitan to the point we couldn't even fit it in our mouths and it was disgustingly greasy like what's the point of all that oil if you're not even gonna give it a good sear? It was very one note, there was nothing to cut through the grease and make the sandwiches more palatable. Then there was the $15 caesar salad. I was under the impression there would be more to it maybe vegan chicken and that's why it was so expensive but no that was not the case, it was plain and the parmesan on it had a weird aftertaste. Overall I am very disappointed, and will not be returning.

Yum - Edit
I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich and a pistachio cannoli. I don't think I've had vegan versions of either of these before...

Everything is amazing here - Edit
Cannot hype up this restaurant enough. I've tried most of their sandwiches (bomb), and their bacon Mac salad is a must side. All of their desserts are wonderful and I usually end up ordering way too much when I go. Yes it's expensive but I consider a treat, so why not go all out? Ps I've taken carnivore friends here and they enjoyed everything immensely.

Found is pretty expensive - Edit
We ate there a couple times and generally find it to be fairly expensive for the size of the servings. Other vegan friends really love this place, so it's certainly worth a try. I was not amazed by the sandwich nor the pricing.

Good but greasy - Edit
You gotta be prepared for a heavy meal here. Sure, they have salads, but even those are huge and have rich toppings. I got the whitefish melt, and it was pretty good. I wish it would have been a tuna melt. I thought that was what they were going for, but it didn't have that tuna taste, and, after looking through old photos, they had a tuna melt explicitly at one point. Definitely could not finish the whole thing. It was huge! I think this is a fun place to come to every once in a while, but I prefer more whole foods vegan food.

The Something Healthy dish - Edit
The food is tasty but imitates the SAD. Great for new vegans/those newly transitioning to veganism and still missing SAD comfort food. Quite unique actually. The Something Healthy dish is my new favorite. I can support a vegan restaurant and eat the way I prefer, healthy.

Love that it's an all vegan place, the hours could be a little later past lunch, they have to stop boiling the seitan "chickn", try steaming it mayb.. it was just so spongy
Read morePros: All vegan options, Delicious desserts and house made cheeses, Pastrami sandwich for the win

One of our favorites - Edit
This is one of our favorite spots! We love to sit on back patio and usually order ahead so is ready when we get there. Even the non-vegans we bring usually love this place! We also regularly order other treats from the market too.
