Open 7 days a week & 24hrs a day from Friday to Sunday, this vegan friendly diner will satisfy the taste buds of even the healthiest of eaters. But don't leave without getting a Fudge Brownie Sundae!

BBQ chicken pizzadillas and buffalo chicken wraps are some of the best dishes for a place that totes to be vegetarian and vegan friendly.The only issue I have is their recent change to drop the Crêpes
Todd MerchantOctober 2, 2015
I'll go here at all hours of the day -- as long as it's open. Favorites include the GOAT, chicken on the barbie, peanut butter chocolate shake, gnocchi, the pizzadillas and anything with goat cheese.

Open 7 days a week for breakfast, brunch, lunch, & dinner into the wee hours of the night, this vegan-friendly diner is a must. Enjoy kitchen-made Bloody Marys, fresh squeezed Mimosas, cakes, & pies!

The perfect place in Wrigley for a mental pick-me-up whether it's a boost of caffeine with their latte infused Bailey's or a solid breakfast after a night on the town.

The vegan shakes are seriously good. All their breakfast is delicious too (Cancun scramble wins for me), but I dream of the vegan mocha shake.

Open around the clock on weekends and until 3 a.m. on weekdays, this cute café serves breakfast all day, plus sammitches (sandwiches classic and signature) and pizzadillas (a pizza-quesadilla hybrid). Read more

Fantastic diner fare with a fun hep kitschy setting. Friendly service. Enjoy before or after a night of drinking and improv in wrigleyville.

An oasis in the middle of Wrigleyville from the Wrigleyville crowd. Awesome, huge espresso drinks (with booze!), spicy cheese fries, and vegan options galore. Great while sober-- er, for brunch-- too!

Had the vegan scramble. Was amazing! I hope to go back to try the buffalo tofu and the vegan french toast!
Whitney BennettDecember 8, 2015
Vegan chili cheese fries, vegan French toast, vegan Oreo milkshake, vegan buffalo tofu, vegan Santa Fe scram, etc etc etc etc

The French toast is excellent, non-vegan, and the portion is huge! Two days later, the leftovers, reheated in a toaster oven (also non-vegan) with real maple syrup are STILL amazing!

I love this place! Great value for what you pay. I had the vegan Mac and Cheese and the Tofu Buffalo Wrap. Best vegetarian food I have ever had.

Go here after a late night out and get some sort of espresso chocolate heaven. Great vegetarian options.
KarenJune 26, 2013
Great iced coffee and one of the best tasting and reasonably priced breakfast/brunch places in the area! Friendly service, too!

The cheese fries are made with real cheese - get them and you won't be sorry. If you're vegan, they make delicious vegan cheese fries too - get them and you won't be guilty.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner.. You name it, this place is good. They have lots of vegan/vegetarian options.

Large portions, really good vegan grub worth the wait (slow service)

Grrrlicious Chicken Sandwich is probably the best thing in Wriglyville. Pair it with one of their bloody marys and soup and you have the perfect lunch.
EddieDecember 10, 2013
I had a great sandwich was excellent the milk shakes were sweet hey I know I'm going back again that's for sure

Veggie friendly food, coffee and tea. Open 24hrs weekends, 'til 3am on weekdays. Clark + Sheffield in Wrigleyville. An entrance on each cross street.
Nick GDecember 3, 2011
Order Jalapeno Poppers. Get the best late night food that somehow has little to no Wrigleyville patrons. I feel like it is invisible to them, similar to Diagon Alley to Muggles.
Angel CunninghamJuly 25, 2015
The Build Your Own Omelette is sooooo good and taste so fresh! The staff - AMAZEBALLS!
SarahOctober 3, 2015
Portions are huge. Their breakfast food is awesome. The CAB omelet was awesome. Avocado in an omelet rules.
Jaclyn HMarch 10, 2013
Homemade jalapeño poppers are spicy, but quite tasty. And get the pasta salad as your side - yum!

Vegan + Wrigleyville = Heaven. Vegan Blueberry Pie is to die for, Soy Chai Latte, Vegan Northwoods Chili, Cuppy Vegan Burrito, and kind, fast and friendly service. #Wrigleyville #Vegan #Chicago

This is one of my favorite places to eat. I love the Buffalo Chicken wrap and the tall skinny server (I really should know his name by now) is awesome!

Rad buffalo wraps, plenty of vegan options, including in the monthly specials menu

So many good drinks: tea, shakes (vegan and dairy), boozes and infused syrups.

Their shakes are the best! So many choices of add-ons, chocolate with butterfinger is my favorite.

Buffalo chicken wrap or salad = amazing. Want coffee? Try the red eye.. Itll give you the "pick me up" you need.

Discoteka Fries are the shit! I recommend drizzling the ranch on the fries and eating the whole mess with a fork.
Chrissy NickelFebruary 28, 2011
Great service-suggestions for food and later city activities were given. The French toast was fantastic (and daunting!)
Donovan F.July 22, 2013
The Zombie is a great thing to revive your tired hot mess in the small hours.
RoughinamoratoJanuary 5, 2013
Lots of excellent stuff that's not made out of vegan, people. (Hm. I wonder how vegan tastes...)
Philip-Michael ScalesMarch 7, 2012
The pesto linguine is super bland! But get the peanut butter/espresso milkshake and the ranch chicken wrap
lauren barrettOctober 11, 2015
In the mood for milkshakes? Try the mocha shake -- SUPERRR GOOD!
Stina P.October 19, 2016
decent dive bar menu, wouldn't actively seek this place out though given the neighborhoods options
Nick BarellaJuly 12, 2019
Pancakes for life!

Sandi SwissMay 7, 2011
The vegan tofu scram is awesome and you can add Teese cheese from Chicago soy dairy!!
Sarah VelascoJune 23, 2013
Their grilled cheese is out of this world!
