What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Vegan café with breakfast and lunch options. Selection was pretty solid, the food we got was pretty tasty and had very large potions. Definitely glad to see that most items did not have tree nuts."
"This café is a gem, not only for vegans. It’s a perfect spot to study for hours because the tacos and coffee will keep you full and caffeinated. Two people ate and got coffee for under $35- I was happily surprised! I’m so happy I found this place."
"Before placing my order, I called to ask what type of cheese they place on their molletes, which the barista answered back “I don’t know, soy cheese.” Ok, well what type of cheese is it? Chihuahua or cheddar? “Mozzarella.” Ok, and of course, all the pictures on their reviews I saw, had some type of stringy white cheese, with the beans appearing more as a melted spread. That was not what was provided, and either the barista doesn’t know the difference or didn’t care to ask. Definitely not what was advertised or shown in reviews, but the coffee was decent. They did use blue painters tape to cover the cups but whatever."
"Cafe mas is a great local coffee shop with good breakfast sandwiches and pastries. It also happens to be vegan. You wouldn't know the difference by the amazing breakfast sandwiches and my favorite Boston creme donut. Staff are professional and knowledgeable and the space is relaxed and inviting. I usually come by on my way to work and it is quiet in there. looks like a great space to work or hang out."
"I really like this café! It’s a nice, quiet place to chill. The taco wasn’t really my taste, but I really enjoyed the iced coffee — super refreshing and smooth."
"Really cute and cozy cafe, the staff is always super nice and quick. The mazapan latte and molletes are my fave breakfast treat!"
