I haven’t been here in quite awhile…it was cute before…but now it’s next level cute and sophisticated inside ?. The food quality is also next level. Ok…this pumpkin pie smoothie is addictive…I might need to make this a weekly treat!!! And the matcha latte…with fresh strawberry ? puree…yes please…not too sweet…still earthy and soooo yummy! If you love elevated, good for you food…please stop here and support this business ?

One of my favorite places until I found out that there's TOXIC canola oil and SOY PROTEIN in their "tuna" salad.

So sad. Lots of healthier vegan mayo options they can find.

Makes me wonder if there anything else that's not organic on their menu. Because I was under the impression they were all organic.

I'm still giving 3 stars because food is overall beautiful and tasty.

UPDATE: Unfortunately they are STILL using TOXIC CANOLA OIL in their vegan mayo. Claiming it's organic. ALL CANOLA OIL IS toxic by the way it's processed.

Mermaid smoothie is amazing, and LOVE the heirloom and avo toast!

Would love an option to OMIT protein powder on delivery apps. ?

I stopped by Linden Organic because they are an all organic, vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free cafe and I've wanted to check them out for awhile now. There are a couple tables inside (2) so it is small but it's more of a grab and go, which is what I intended on doing anyways. They have a lot of good stuff - including coffee (but I already had mine this morning) so I opted for the:

Mindful Matcha Smoothie
Chocolate donut
Snickers bar

Tasty stuff and friendly.

The waffles were good! They were really filling! And they actually tasted good! They didn’t hurt my stomach after I ate them, which is really saying something because I know it’s really hard to make vegan waffles! And I was surprised that it came with so much extra fruit! It was $16, but I think it was well worth it! Also, I decided to try their vegan donuts! To be honest, they don’t taste that good. But I know it’s really, really hard to make vegan donuts! Actually, you can barely find any places that make vegan donuts because they’re so difficult to make! I only tasted one other vegan donut from a different restaurant, and it tasted like they put heavy sugar inside of the donuts, which was extremely unhealthy. This one has a little bit of sugar… You can kind of taste it, but it’s not extreme! But, it just doesn’t really taste that good to me. But again, you know, it’s extremely hard to make vegan donuts, at least from what I’m seeing around! Which is why places don’t make vegan donuts! But nevertheless, the main thing was the waffles! The waffles tasted good! The waffles tasted really good! I wish this place was closer to my house because I would go here all the time when I run out of food to eat! But this place is 50 minutes away from my house, so I’m only going to come here a few other times. But yeah, this place is really good! At least their waffles are!

P.S. The waffles are $16 & the donuts are $6 each! But again! The waffles are really what I came for! They are really good and filling!

5 stars for being vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. But sadly, the rest didn’t live up. Very pretty, photogenic food, but we were super bummed with the rest.

My açaí bowl was large and beautiful, but had chunks of ice in it and tasted watered down. The crunchy wafers were very hard, and i just couldn’t figure out how to approach eating it. Had to eat the toppings separately and still a bunch landed in my lap. Based on the flavor and texture, I’m guessing the protein powder I ordered didn’t get added. All in all, $18.50 for this was not worth it.

The spring roll was 90% lettuce. Very watery dressing, so hard to use as a dip. Hard rice paper, probably from sitting in the cooler a while.

Unable to get the Moroccan Salad since most everything is premade and available in the cooler, so can’t be modified.

The tuna sandwich was beautiful but incredibly messy and hard to eat with very thin bread that didn’t hold together. Also mostly lettuce. So not filling. Didn’t have zucchini, and asked for extra “tuna” instead but doesn’t look like that happened.

Avocado toast was pretty and piled with avo. Again very thin bread made it hard to eat. But this was probably the one item that was more substantial (no lettuce or ice fillers.) That said, it still wasn’t a meal, so at $16 was a bit lacking.

I also found it weird that ingredients weren’t listed on things. None of the packaged foods, or on baked goods in the display case. Chose not to get any since asking questions for every item felt like a lot.

Tiny indoor space with limited seating. No outdoor seats.

Sadly, I won’t be back. Not worth the value:cost:flavor ratios. But, I won’t ever give less than 5 stars to a vegan place, in support of offering plant based foods! However, I think non-vegans would be very disappointed here and would leave hungry.

Loved the Mint chip smoothie! I admit I'm a mint flavor junkie, so it was totally worth it; the perfectly balanced amount of mint and cacao nibs, and almond milk made this shake nutrient dense. Other smoothies we tried were Blueberry and AWAKE! Definitely a spot I'd revisit for vegan gluten free/dairy free treats as well. The protein cookie dough ball and chocolate chip cookie are wonderful and filling treats with healthy proteins and nutrients.

This review is uniquely on my most recent experience. I've discovered this place recently (2+ months) and have been a huge fan!
The store closes at 4pm. A week ago, I called in over phone around 3:46pm for 2 smoothies (Bowls) and the lady who picked up agreed to take my order as long as I can make it before they close. Based on my ETA, I knew I couldn't so I let her know and therefore they couldn't do it. Fair.
I made it to the store a week later right around 3:49pm for 2 smoothies (bowls). The young lady with the tattoos saw me the whole time and never acknowledged me as she was finishing smoothies for other customers, I noticed it was off. (FYI, I heard and saw her mentioning to other customers sitting in the store, "I'd need to pack up your food in a bag because we're about to close".)
3 minutes later, my order was about to be taken by her coworker, but the lady with the tattoos intercepted to say they couldn't do 2 smoothies, they're about to close, then I asked what about 1? She said the manager needs them out by 4pm.
If you can't provide certain food nearing closing hours, then it needs to be specified. But based on the previous phone call I made, it clearly sounds like she could've made those smoothies, but refused to do so. This was poorly handled she had no intention of going above and beyond.
For context: I spent over a $1,000 in 12 visits for 2 months (Including small groups/catering orders - I text all my receipts to my phone). That's roughly $500+/month. I hope the insistence of not providing me a service thinking 2 smoothie bowls were too much to be done in 10 minutes and perhaps, over losing a customer.

I will say yhe smoothie bowl was absolutely exceptional. Yes pricey, but top notch smoothie bowl.

I came in with my husband, we ordered 2 juices, 2 smoothie bowls, a few raw treats and 2x sweet squash sandwich dish. It was very expensive. After we paid, the staff informed us they were out of squash, the main part of the sandwich. I said no problem, just sub some avacado. They proceeded to tell me I'd haveto pay another 6$ ($3 x2) to sub avacado.

For this reason alone I will never come back. If you run out of an ingredient, then you should sub for free. I paid almost $40 for 2 veggie sandwiches and you can't sub avacado? Very bad for customer loyalty. Technically I paid for squash in the sandwich. So why would i haveto pay extra for you to replace your missing ingredient. ?

Too bad because there are not many good choices in the city with such amazing smoothie bowls.
