This place ROCKS! Very cool shop, large and roomy, lots of seats, nicely decorated, good vibe, decent outdoor area with additional seating.

They carry soy, almond and rice milk, which is totally awesome for a vegan like me that has a soy milk intolerance.

They've got some vegan packaged bars and oatmeal options, which is pretty cool.

They've got a loyalty discount program, which is cool and you can even place your order via text message in advance! r0x0r!

I'd give em 5 stars if they started carrying at least one vegan baked good. Their entire baked goods case has zero vegan options.

We stopped in Wy-Knot Cafe this weekend as we had heard they have some vegan options. The entire experience was great!

We had some delicious seared tofu sandwiches (they press extra firm tofu, cut it thin and quick fry it to make it crispy), a super tasty vegetable soup, a beet salad, a side of breakfast potatoes and a couple of iced lattes with almond milk.

The service was good and the owner was very friendly and chatted with us about her vegan options and food.

We'll be back! Can't wait to try their tofu scramble and their TLT (Tempeh Lettuce Tomato) sandwich.

Note: They do not have any vegan butter/margarine, nor do they have any vegenaise. Hope they start carrying those both soon!

I can highly recommend Aimee Bar-Am Photography. Aimee and her husband came to our house for an on location newborn photo shoot. They supplied backdrops, floor scenes, lighting, props and everything else needed for the session. Aimee was extremely professional, she knows how to work with babies and kids as she has her own, and most importantly, she can set up and capture stunning images. We loved the resulting photos and were so happy with the whole experience!

Booyahh!!! Great vegan banana cupcake.

Tammy is awesome! My wife is pregnant with twins in a high risk pregnancy and we wanted to get her some professional relief with massage therapy. Apparently Tammy is one of the only (if not THE only) massage therapists in the Phoenix area with a Prenatal massage certification. She is thorough and makes sure that your doctor approves of the massages and lets her know of any restrictions. She was a pleasure to work with and a great masseuse!

What a breath of fresh fresh air. The owner of this restaurant actually took my constructive criticism and made some very positive changes based on them. How awesome is that?

Regarding the rice, apparently the staff who previously told me that they used chicken stock was misinformed. The owner showed me the seasoning they use and it is all veggie!

They're also now carrying a vegan lentil soup daily and it's delicious!

The pitas contain no dairy, which is awesome.

This place makes some great veggie food and the owner is very friendly and responsive to customer needs.

Definitely recommend that you check this place out!

w00t! A coffee spot that carries almond milk! Now I know what you must be thinking... "big deal, almond milk?" ... but yes, it is a big deal, a VERY big deal.

You see, 99% of coffee shops choose to solely carry soy milk alone as their non-dairy creamer alternative. Unfortunately, you are currently reading the writings of a vegan who is allergic to soy milk, makes my throat all itchy and sore feeling, but I digress...

Royal made me happy by offering almond milk and I happily slurped down my iced vanilla almond milk latte while traversing the many wonders of the Phoenix open air public market on Saturday morning.

-1 star since I had to mix up my drink myself.

Take note other coffee shops: please carry another non-dairy creamer besides soy milk.

The employees are very friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious!

We love this place! The roasted beet & brussel sprout salad is so good that we find ourselves craving it routinely (sans cheese, obviously)!

They are very happy to answer my questions on ingredients, omit cheese & other items from predetermined dishes and even substitute extra items (like pine nuts) at no cost. Very vegan friendly establishment!

Other food that we enjoy there: The pizza crust bread (vegan), pasta primavera using either a garlic olive oil sauce or a marinara sauce, with pine nuts added.

If you're looking for some tasty Italian food and excellent service, check out Babbo.

Time for a review update... My initial "oh-my-god-there's-a-vegan-restaurant-a-mile-from- my-house" infatuation is now over. I live very close to LH, so I go there a lot.

Loving Hut is pretty good, they have some very tasty dishes (Spicy Cha Cha, BBQ Bagutte are some of my favs) and they have some not so great dishes.

The real reason for my drop-down in stars is that it's always a pain in the arse to order what you want at Loving Hut. You would think that a vegan restaurant would be totally okay with substitutions, omissions, etc (as that's what vegans must do at most restaurants), but no, it's always a royal pain at loving hut.

The other day my wife wanted to try the "Tuno" (faux tuna) sandwich on the baguette roll instead of sliced bread. I called in to place a phone order and tried to order it. I made it clear that I would be happy to pay a bit extra for the baguette bread if necessary. Didn't matter. They would not do it. No way, no how. I tried to bargain with the phone employee who blamed it on someone else and said she had to go "check with the cook" if it was possible. How would it not be possible to use a different type of bread that they already have? Either way, they would not budge at all. So I couldn't get what I wanted, very annoying and frustrating.

I've also tried other substitutions and dish modifications and it's always a pain.

They no longer give free refills on Iced Tea (citing costs), which is disappointing.

One day I asked about the complementary appetizer soups that they give in store, asking if I could get it for to go orders. The employee I spoke with explained that they don't give it out on to go orders because of soup container costs, but if I brought in my own soup container they'd be happy to give me some. So the next time I placed a to go order, I brought in a little plastic soup bowl and requested some. They barely gave me any soup in it and they gave me a hard time about it.

Bottom line is that they need to be better at providing what the customer wants and less about penny pinching, as it is very annoying and it does not make me want to go back.

Changing up the menu by offering unique, limited time dish specials would also greatly improve the place, as much of the menu seems to be very similar (the same flavored soy protein is in just about everything).

Hoping they can improve...

Popped in for a lunch visit the 2nd day they were open. Very cool patio & outdoor area, diverse menu, cool vibe.

I tried the grain salad, which was loaded with tons of tasty grains & veggies and drizzled with a citrus vinaigrette dressing. It was a ton of food and totally filled me up.

We wanted to try one of the other dishes with pita bread, but our waitress informed us that they don't have any vegan bread whatsoever.

Please start offering some vegan bread, Windsor (and more vegan options)!
