Yelpers, you just can't judge the taste of the food; if that were the case, this place would get 2 more stars. The problem is it is just too gritty to inspire confidence. Gritty exterior, gritty interior, gritty workers, gritty customers, gritty service. There is also the issue of space -- one inside table. And the menu -- almost useless as they had less than half of what was on there last time I was there. And the people -- the person at the counter yelling at someone in another room to stop playing the drums (loudly and poorly) multiple times, and the people just hanging out (not eating, drinking, or working, just meandering in and out of the place). No place to eat sans the single occupied table except outside, which is ugly and cold in December. The cook was doing some errand, so I was told there would be a small wait, which turned into an unreasonably long wait. On the bright side, the food is good, inexpensive, and vegan. The grit leads one to question the sanitary practices, and I just can't get past that.
