Delicious, healthy food and warm service (4/5 Green Stars) - Edit

I would definitely come here again and recommend trying it out for a meal or camping/hiking provisions. I had the Hummus & Lentil (V) - seasoned lentils tossed with lemon vinaigrette, baby lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes & red onion served on pita bread. I recommend eating it all together on the pita rather than deconstructing it with your fork, by the way!
I also had the vegan sausage roll and thought it was excellent. And I know sausage rolls – they are one of my all-time favorite foods. The Beyond Meat sausage was combined with delicious pastry that was slightly spicy – I think they used Hot Italian sausages. And do not ignore the homemade ketchup that goes with it – it’s really good!
Staff members were very friendly and the restaurant is fun, unpretentious and stocked with good provisions. It’s also dog-friendly, according to a cute write-up on DogTrekker : )

I’m giving the Dez 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following:
• A good chunk of the menu is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Reducing our meat intake is a key action for mitigating climate change, deforestation, water use, water pollution, and of course animal suffering.
• Some ingredients for vegan dishes are organic – chickpeas for the wrap, brown rice for the Buddha bowl and cocoa for the almond joy date balls.
• It’s an inclusive restaurant – an important feature in this climate.
• Room for improvement: skip the beef as it really has ridiculously big environmental footprints (carbon and land) compared to eggs, chicken, and pork. Use compostable to-go boxes instead of polypropylene.

Served real sausage - Edit

Do not order vegan food here. They do not actually check. They are rude, slow, and defensive over mistakes they make. They don’t understand the gravity of serving a person real meat when they don’t eat it and were super dismissive. “Mistakes happen,” but maybe that one shouldn’t as it isn’t that hard to read a label. Reading is part of working at a restaurant. Here’s a great business tip: do not serve vegan food. We don’t like places like yours and don’t care to have you include us especially if you’re going to make careless mistakes like that one. It was especially hilarious that you mentioned this doesn’t happen often, well it did to us and now we are going to tell every vegan we know in town that used to recommend this place to not. Again, just make your menu full of dead animals and don’t include us at all. Thanks!

Cons: They served real sausage , They took forever to take our order, Their defensiveness
