“ Ive been coming here for years, cute little cafe offering plant based vegan food. Everything is delicious and so creative! The small dining area doesnt seat many so you may have to get carry out during busy times for lack of seating. I highly recommend the nachos! The only thing I would change is that my cayenne lemonade came after my two entrees came out, it didnt bother me but it would be nice to be served my drink while I wait for food. Otherwise perfect service and amazing food! ”
“ What a great restaurant this is. It was exactly what we were craving when we came here fresh vegan food. Its great too because after eating this type of food, you dont feel blah after, like you would eating deep fried foods. The atmosphere is nice too for a small place. 3 tables inside which was perfect. Service was excellent. They explained each thing clearly to us. The food was incredible. We opted for the Saturday special, which was a delicious burger and coleslaw on the side. We also had the tacos, which were incredible as well. My son had a cucumber sushi roll which seemed to be a hit as well. All in all, a fantastic spot for some feelgood vegan food. For dessert, the lime cheesecake was topnotch too as was the chocolate banana shake. No ragrets. 55. Will definitely be back next time were in Birmingham. ______________________________________________ Follow me for more reviews, tips and photos! ”
“ This place is a Vegan restaurant gem! The Cinnamon Rolls are, maybe the best cinnamon rolls I have ever ate in my vegan journey over the United States. Worth cross country travel to beautiful Birmingham Michigan north of Detroit my baby! You will know it is worth it! ”
“ I was so grateful to find this wonderful restaurant while traveling for work. Absolutely AMAZING food! I ordered the tacos, Thai coconut water, and cheesecake of the day blueberry that day. So delicious and I plan to return again before I leave. The service was excellent and kind. Atmosphere was so nice and relaxing after a long day. Thank you for a spectacular meal! ”
“ Ordered a few items for carry out. They are busy during lunch. There is a small area for dining in. We ordered a few things including Reuben sandwich, soup, Caesar salad, a juice, a dessert. The Caesar is excellent and the Reuben is very good too. Everything was freshly made and the wait was minimal. Parking is tight and it looks like you have to spin the block a couple of times and walk to the restaurant. I called my order in and the guy hung up before I was done. Our bill was 69.00, not including the tip. Pricey to eat healthier. We would come back for sure though. ”
“ As a whole food plant based eater really upset at myself that it took me so long to try this amazing place . M and M are extraordinary at what they do, you can really tell they take time and care with the great meals they produce. I am so happy I found this place and feel that it is going to be a great addition to my health and wellness journey for the long run. ”
