This is a shame - I'd heard only good things about this place. If you follow some links it sounds like they will reopen as a cafe. In the meantime anyone going through withdrawal can try my website, Vegan Eating Out. Vegan Restaurants. I look forward to adding an entry for their new place!

I was in there on the last day before they closed. They said they were remodeling and changing the menu & name and would be closed for a month. They assured us that it would still be entirely vegan.

Restaurants are a risky venture to begin with, and tons of overhead costs to worry about. A restaurant almost ALWAYS loses money in its first year. If it doesn't break even by the end of the second year, it's time to quit. If it's survived five years, it's passed its trial by fire and can stay for the long run. Other external factors, like city/county requirements or the lease play a huge role too.

I've been wondering about this place. It did seemingly so well in the wake of the failed deli that preceeded it. But yeah, it's been locked down for weeks now. Shame.
