Best

Original, healthy, and very good food. They do have a nice kids menu. The server was kid friendly and engaged my toddler. Also provide crayons, books, and toys. The clean bath...

Worst

Clearly, more folks need to open vegetarian restaurants in this town, 'cause the fact that this place is crowded feels like the result of a lack of options. Firstly, what kind of...

change of opinion 9/18/2002

I am rewriting my review after a second visit to this vegetarian restaurant. This time our food was less than appealing. My soup had this horrible strong flavor that was hard to swallow. The salad was mediocre at best, I wouldnt recommend the lemon-tahini dressing. I had to ask for new dressing, this took a long time to arrive. His pasta meal was okay, but not good. Everything is just on the verge of being tasty... but it never quite gets to that point. The service is slow, the seats uncomfortable and the water warm. I wont be going back unless it is for a quick snack of an appetizer or something... and then, only if I am in the neighborhood and The Leaf and Bean is closed. Pros: vegetarian, cute decor Cons: poor service, uncomfortable seating, bad food. more

Highly Recommend 6/27/2002

People say the servers don't croon over you like it was 23rd Street. And they're right...AND, I think that's what I like about Vita Cafe. They're real people, hiring real people, and all focusing on food, fun, and community. That's just cool. The food honestly rocks too....so, I go ofter and I suggest you do too!!!!! Pros: The Food, The People, The Neighborhood Cons: few too many punks, sometimes..but they'r, nice enough too:-) more

i go back whenever possible 6/15/2002

I love this restaurant. I first went here with a group of about 9 people to celebrate something, and it was a great place for a group of that size to crowd into a giant booth and enjoy ourselves. since then, i've taken friends and family back with me. i love the food, i've always had friendly service, the prices are very reasonable, and i highly recommend everything about the vita cafe. Pros: good food options, usually easy parking, friendly service Cons: a little loud once more

Vita McCrappy (service sucks) 5/27/2002

Vita Cafe has good food/prices. The service sucks though. From what I gather, being ""tragically hip"" is grueling work, maybe that's why the service can't seem to smile, greet or attend to the customer, yet dance & laugh w/each other at length, tending to customers when there is a pause in their chitchat. I don't really care if you are hip - I would appreciate some eye contact/acknowledgement that you will get to me, not having to track you down, or being told ""you won't get your food for 40 minutes"" after tracking you down, getting coffee, water, my order taken, silverware & the check in under 2 hrs. That might seem like a lot to ask the wait staff who think they are too hip to do their job, but maybe if there were more tragically hip staffers, it wouldn't be so intolerable. Just a suggestion. Pros: thai corn cakes!, italian corn cakes Cons: service sucks, service sucks, service sucks more
