An all-vegan cafe that grew out of a coffee tricycle - home of a vegan banh mi locals call the best sandwich in Rochester, full stop.

What to Order

Vegan Banh Mi
House 'pork' or Herbivorous Butcher bacon, pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro, and tamari aioli on a baguette - voted the best sandwich in town.
Korean BBQ Bowl
Sweet-and-savory vegan BBQ over brown sushi rice with gochujang aioli and crunchy chickpea puffs.
The Donut Case
A genuine vegan donut rotation - go early.

Good to Know

  • Everything is plant-based, and much of the 'meat' comes from Minneapolis's Herbivorous Butcher.
  • Started as a Dutch-style coffee tricycle Abe built himself; now a family-friendly neighborhood cafe near Cooke Park.
