We had a very delicious wrap! All is gluten free and vegan, and super tasty! One of us has been vegan for many years and was super enthusiastic about the food combination and the nutritional value of our wraps!!!! A must go to even if you don’t eat vegan!!! The dessert was okay but the wraps were truly amazing!!!

Vegan Mac and cheese!! It’s a takeaway spot so I took my food to a bar close by and had a local beer with this amazing meal.

This cute booth at the market was a delicious pay off after wandering through the Cork food marketplace. I’m sucker for a kombucha on tap. Their seasonal flavor was “beetsy boy” & complimented the food nicely. The staff was exceptional offering samples and they were very knowledgeable/passionate about the vegan food scene. The quality and quantity of the food was a bargain. We got a unique assortment of dishes: home fried potatoes with kimcheeze (kimchi cheese) salad items and barbecue sauce along with Kimchi Mac N Cheeze complete with an oyster mushroom drumstick. I also got 2 vegan raw tarts. I wish I could eat this food every day; it was a treat!

Hands down the best vegan nachos I’ve ever had—and that’s saying a lot coming from a Texan! The flavors were bold, the toppings generous, and the whole dish was so satisfying. A must-try stop in the English Market, even if you’re not vegan. And such friendly staff, thank you!
