All vegan coffee shop with so many choices! - Edit
All vegan coffee shop with extensive options. It's such a prize find in the vegan landscape.
Read moreAll vegan food offerings I see there regularly include:
* Donuts (many flavors)
* Croissants
* Cake (strawberry shortcake, tiramisu, etc)
* Cheesecake
* Chocolates
* Sweet pastries
* Savory pastries (eg ham and cheese croissant, sausage empanada)
* Pesto roll (the best thing they make IMO)
* Scones
* Cookies
* Sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich
* Breakfast burrito
The tea options are more limited than I wish they were, but they are serviceable. My partner likes their coffee. Almond, soy and oat milk options.
Nothing really healthy to choose if you are feeling like you want a light and nutritious snack.

So good! - Edit
Their baked goods are amazing and delightfully all vegan! I finally stopped by here after having already been a big fan of the second location on College. There is a bit more variety here, though I do like the smaller, quiet space of the other store. I love all their cakes, cheesecakes, and pastries—they all look so pretty too! I also tried a raspberry truffle here which was delicious.

Yes, this place is really good. - Edit
Update 5/13/2021:
Read moreI've eaten here several more times since I wrote the first review and I have tried their donuts, pizza rolls, and pesto rolls. They were all great so I'm going to give 5 stars.
Original review: I was planning to get a meal here, but they said they were out of all lunch/dinner foods. I also had to ask to make sure everything was vegan, because there was nothing anywhere in the cafe saying anything about the place being vegan. I decided to just grab a dessert to take home and eat at home. I got the tiramisu cake, which was delicious, so that's a pro.
Pros: I loved everything that I've tried here
Cons: Out of savory food (just once)

Great food, troublesome experience - Edit
Their pastries are really tasty. Can't complain there! However the only reason I'd been going is because I heard they made croissants...
Read moreCroissant seekers: my advice is to call right when they open and/or show up as early as possible. (But I haven't succeeded yet - that's just where I left off.)
I made four separate trips to get croissants and to date am still empty handed. First I learn they're only available Friday through Sunday. Next I learn they usually run out sometime after 10 AM. Then I wake up early to find out they closed the minute I got at there at 8:25 due to air quality (had checked the website to see if they were open ahead of time). Finally I get there at 9 AM one day and hear that going before 10 AM is no guarantee and in fact they can sometimes run out the minute they open. So I may try to go at 8 AM someday, but this was a really frustrating way to learn how to buy a croissant at Timeless.

Oh so so good - Edit
They have so many vegan baked goods options! More extensive selection than the Berkeley location. Their raspberry cheesecake is to die for. The funfetti and coffee cakes were moist and the frosting was delicious.

I live near the piedmont shop and only recently learned everything is vegan! They don’t shove it down your throat so it’s quite a popular spot. Boutique lookin café/coffee shop, usually packed and always cute dogs out front. I ordered a bday cake from here and it was goooooood!
Read morePros: All vegan cafe!, Order custom vegan birthday cakes, They have quiche 🤗
Cons: A bit hipstery but goes with the neighbourhood , Not cheap

Best Baked Goods in the Bay Area - Edit
In 3 days we went to Timeless 3 times. Everything was great, the breakfast sandwiches, the waffles, the breakfast tacos, the danishes, the donuts, the chocolates, the scones and the coffee & hot chocolate. Please open a location in Portland!

I love that Timeless exists, the pastries and drinks are great! However, I’m not in love with the savory options. I recently had the pot pie lunch special. It was pretty good, but small and expensive.

Tasty fresh coffee; case items hit or miss - Edit
Cappuccino was definitely the most delicious thing we had, followed by the GF buckwheat waffle. We got two savory items from the case that were less amazing as you might imagine since they were not freshly made.
Read moreThe pesto cheese bun was rubbery and hard to cut/take a bite from. Wouldnt recommend that one. We also got a potato quiche that was tasty but not re-warmed thoroughly. I would be happy with it if I had made it, but nothing earth shattering. I would go back to try other well-reviewed sweet items like the donuts and I would definitely go back for the coffee.
Pros: Delicious cappuccino
Cons: Savory case items just OK
