"Passing through town and wanted something healthier than typical chain restaurant fair. Had the grain salad with kale and tempeh, it was fantastic! The staff were very friendly and attentive. I was visiting someone from out of town and we stayed a very long time just talking and our server still continued to check on us long after we were done eating. I highly recommend if you are looking for clean healthy food that tastes great. I wish I was in town longer to go back and try more."

Customer service was perfect! Both waiters were attentive and helpful in my food selection. The chilaquiles with red sauce was good with nice presentation. Their house hot sauce paired well with it. The caramel mocha was enjoyable. Good prices. This meal and coffee were $21.50 including tax.

I got the Grain Salad~Marinated tempeh, black wild rice, quinoa, mixed greens, spelled berries, kale, carrots, and pumpkin seeds tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette. I loved it, it was fresh, filling, and flavorful. I paired it with some fresh green juice. Service was good, friendly staff. The desserts looked amazing, was too full to splurge. Had a taste of the torta, I loved it. Bought a bag of organic date seed powder to try later as a replacement for coffee

I met up with a childhood friend here, and it was the perfect location. I looked for a place that had gluten-free and dairy free options, and The Grain Cafe didn't disappoint; they are all organic and vegan. I got the huevos a la Mexicana and gluten-free pancakes. It's safe to say I'll be back! Big bonus is that their menu has 4 items with nuts, so for a family that has life-threatening food allergies this is big for a vegan restaurant. Thank you for the first time experience!!

"Aside from loving the food itself, Middle Eastern food is usually a joy for me because there is so much that I, as a vegetarian, can eat. The food we sampled at Ammatoli was excellent, aside from one flaw. The flaw as that the spinach in the otherwise marvelous Spinach Kibbeh was still frozen inside. That should never happen at a restaurant of this quality, especially when their somewhat expensive dishes are justified by that quality. However, the mistake with the kibbeh is not the reason for a mediocre review. It is because, for a vegetarian, it's way too expensive. The three mezza dish, which we ordered, costs $29, which is a sort of a deal when you consider that each mezza is about $14 separately. The portions are modest, so for a normal person who happens to be vegan or vegetarian to have a full meal, it would cost $50 $60. And I'm talking about a meal of chickpeas, eggplant, bulgar. For about $30, on the other hand, an omnivore will have chicken or salmon for a dollar less $28 or lamb for a few dollars more, and that includes two sides: like hummas, which, in the mezza plate, comes to $9.33 per item. $9.33 for two spinach kibbehs, served under cooked. I'm comparing items on the dinner menu for simplicity; but we actually ate during the Happy Hour, which reduced the 3 mezza plate from $29 to $22. How about an actual vegetarian plate with an assortment of 5 or 6 items and a few olives and sticks of pickled beets, with smaller portions than the mezza plate but something that overall is comparable as a meal to what omnivores are offered. A pity that a restaurant that could so easily be vegan and vegetarian friendly is not."
