MY REVIEW: Strong points: Healthy, fresh food. I love the Hi Protein Lo Carb dish with salmon or chicken and have even enjoyed the one with tofu, too! I love their fresh garden salad with herb dressing and grilled tuna! You can get cheeseburgers, too!
I love having three iced tea selections. My favorite is the green tea, which I usually have about 5 or 6 glasses of while I am there.
I love the atmosphere, like a small country store.
My husband loves the eggs and pancakes with chicken apple sausage and loves their chicken and tuna salad sandwiches and guacamole with blue corn chips. We buy tubs of the tuna salad, chicken salad, hummus and pimento cheese to go. If you try this pimento cheese you will never be able to eat that orange stuff they sell in stores again!
They have a bakery section that includes chocolate dipped macaroons that are to die for, german chocolate cupcakes and chocolate chewy cookies you have to try. I drive from Cypress to eat there every weekend as a special treat to myself. I would eat there every day if I could!

MY REVIEW: I appreciate that there is a restaurant that tries to provide good vegetarian and vegan food. However, there have been times that I have been dissapointed with this restuarant, especially once I became vegan. The staff there sometimes doesn't speak English very well, and I have a hard time talking to them about vegan food.
I went there for breakfast only once, and I couldn't find anything vegan to eat, so I left. I think they possibly might have had vegan pancakes, but they had a soy sausage with it that was not vegan, and they wouldn't sell it separately. I should have gone to the manager and talked to him about the service, but I didn't.
I got the portabella mushroom fajitas once, and they along with the rice and beans were very bland. Most of the sandwiches are made with cheese of some sort so therefore not vegan. They might have a pasta dish that's ok, but honestly I don't ever feel like going back there to give them another chance.
Why can't I find a good vegan or vegetarian restaurant in Houston like M*other's Cafe in Austin?

MY REVIEW: I have known about this place for many years now and have never had a desire to stop in. Saturday evening myself and a friend of mine, who is a vegetarian, decided to stop in after leaving the department store down the sidewalk. We really enjoyed it! And I almost fell over when I read they had 99cent wine. That is definitely one of the restaurants strong points. The food was pretty good and the prices where nice. Vegans and non-vegans would like this place.

MY REVIEW: Weakness: The food
I heard so much about this restaurant/store and so I drove from Pasadena, got lost, and then found it and I was VERY disappointed. I wanted to try it out before I brought my husband and I will not even think of wasting gas (as high as it is now) to take him.
I had the vegetarian tamale pie that was VERY BLAND and was a total waste of my money. The people were VERY nice but I need more than nice people to make that drive again. I do not recommend!

MY REVIEW: This is the best compromise b/w vegetarians and meat-eaters. Since our lunch group has both, it is our favorite place. Most other places are either exclusively carnivore happy or veggie-too-friendly. For example, the Fud*rucker's has a veggie burger but that's about it. Sw*eet Tomato has no meat at all besides the chicken soup. Here they serve a wide variety of cool vegetarian dishes and even serve beef burger.
All of us are iced tea drinkers and their iced teas are the best. I always have 3-4 glasses of the green tea. It's the best!

MY REVIEW: Strong points: $0.99 glasses of Texas wine! Good smoothies. Popular and filling shrimp/avocado enchiladas with black beans. Soups of the day with a bit of extra flavoring, like garlic. Lovely garden out front.
Weakness: atmosphere is like eating at a supermarket, although I have often seen people enjoying a snack/meal and a book, so perhaps they enjoy a feeling a uninterrupted space.

MY REVIEW: Contrary to the opinions of other reviewers, the food at the Katy Freeway location isn't all that much different from the original Alabama site, now closed. You can still get just about all the same dishes - including an unusual tabbouli-avocado sandwich and assorted other veggie sandwiches.
Despite this, it is a real shame that the Alabama location closed -- in 2001, I believe, abetted by a brand-new Whole Foods opening just two blocks away. While the Alabama locale was not a real hoppin' location, it was a convenient one and its health food store was a little more comprehensive (although the manager is the same). It was a real shame that it closed its doors -- Montrose needs a break from Whole Food prices!

MY REVIEW: The food is o.k at best. The last time I was there the staff was VERY rude to my wife and I.
This place was much cooler when it was in the loop. Maybe the loss of business (most of my friends think the old local was much better as well) will be what the owner needs to get this place back on track.

MY REVIEW: This restaraunt has a really good eggplant sandwich. The tea was a little too strong, but the potato wedges are great!
