PEPE'S BISTRO REVIEWS

Second time going, he has some amazing gluten free options. The menu is small, but changes frequently because he uses fresh local produce. After I ate there the first time, we ran into the owner at the local organic market. Every time is a unique experience, and I strongly recommend the curry taco bowl and the chips and guacamole. 110/10 recommend.

Even if you’re not vegan/vegetarian this spot is worth it for a fresh and flavorful meal! Absolutely delicious with a creative menu and a calm atmosphere. The nachos are bomb as hell and the drinks are always one of my fave parts (get the horchata with cold brew!! You won’t regret). Never leave reviews but I love this place.

I absolutely love what Pepe is all about and would eat here everyday if I could (and if I didn't need my meat fix). Wholesome ingredients, wholesome flavors, and wholesome mission. This time, I ordered the curry taco bowl and a cup of horchata with a shot of cold brew.

GRATEFUL BREAD/FREAKBEAT VEGETARIAN REVIEWS

The best vegan/dairy free cinnamon roll I've ever had, the frosting beat just about any I've ever had, thanks! It was a good long wait, but with good tunes rockin, a companion to chat with, and enjoying the decor, the time flew! Totally worth it, thank you, and peace.

Immaculate vibes and great food, got the chocolate chip scone with espresso glaze and the consistency and overall taste was incredible.

The best cheese scones in all the land. Also, the best vegetarian mac and cheese in all the land. Really, the best vegetarian food in all the land.

RUTABAGAS COMFORT FOOD REVIEWS

The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is so nice! Rutabagas came highly recommended by my coworkers and for good reason. We got the nachos, the Reuben, and a side of macaroni and cheese and everything tasted so good! I had been craving vegan macaroni and finally found a good place to get some at a decent price. Absolutely would recommend to anyone, but especially if you prefer a vegan diet.

Wow! You must go here for the best food. We had the Cubano and Patty Melt sandwiches. Our side dishes were tater tots with special sauce. Everything was delicious! We will be back from Omaha to try other things on the menu.

First time going today for dinner! AMAZING food! I have to eat dairy free due to my infant being allergic to dairy and I was able to get their Monster Mac and cheese and it was delicious! My very much “against” eating vegan husband for the Bahn Mi sandwich and even he was impressed and loved the food. We will 100% be returning regularly.
