All vegetarian, all vegan, all microbiotic, gluten free. It is served like going in to grandma's kitchen and just eating what she has cooked. There is a menu for the day, but it is not a menu for selection and ordering. I always leave full and satiated. It is delicious. The walkway is beautiful. It is tucked in to a school. They also have several kind of alternative talks/ workshops. I've been to kirtan there and a few other events.

Great for Breakfast or Lunch! I've more recently been to the east side location, and it is a nice place to sit. There is one on N Lamar, and it is good but rather small & better for take out. -Double check if you need a veggie option. Most ATX places have them, but I don't remember here.
