Spiral Diner & Bakery

I did not like the crappy staff attitudes, nor the processed, packaged foods, too much gluten & not the best sugar substitutes used. more

After dining at this restaurant, I had serious GI problems. I don't normally have stomach problems, but I did after dining here. The Red Coconut Curry Noodles were overcooked and soggy, the broccoli seemed old, and the dish was tasteless. The Hot Humus Wrap was NOT hot and was also tasteless. Never, burp, again, burp. more

I love this restaurant. It is so refreshing as a vegan to be able to go into a restaurant, sit down, and order anything on the menu that I want, without having to worry about whether or not it's 100% vegan. I especially love the nachos, and the Martha the Librarian shake. Mmmm. As for the complaints about the service, I can only figure that it's a generational thing. When we went here with my father-in-law who is in his 50's, he didn't really like the service either, but my friends, my husband, and I (all in our 20's), don't have any problem with it. I will definitely be visiting this fine establishment many more times in the future. more

Aside from waiting on yourself, (all the ""too cool for school"" tatooed and pierced wait staff do is bring the food and still expect a tip) I gave it two tries, first time was an imitation chicken salad sandwich which tasted like ground cardboard, not chicken. Second time was the burrito which I wont tell you what the filling looked like and it tasted like it looked, gross. The salads looked good and had easily identifiable ingredients. If I wanted to wait on myself I'd go to a fast food place. Pros: Cheerful warehouse setting. Cons: You have to get up and get your own beverage, forks, napkins more

Great food. Read the menu! They are not there to serve you, they assist. Very nice/cool people! more

Yum! Finally a veg restaurant with a huge variety and food with huge flavor! The waiter(s) were happy to recommend their favorites and make suggestions based on my diet criteria. I left inspired to try new recipes, not to mention perfectly full, but not heavy. I felt so good the next day, too - full of energy and alive - just like the food! Enjoy! more

I am a vegetarian, a member of Slow Food, and a supporter of our local businesses. I had lunch today at the Spiral Diner with my sister and brother-in-law and regretfully had a most unpleasant experience. The service was extremely slow even though we mentioned to our waiter when we arrived that we were in a hurry. The baked potato that my sister ordered with specific instructions not to include bacon bits and sour cream was delivered with bacon bits and sour cream. The chocolate shake that I placed with my lunch order was delivered two-thirds of the way through my lunch, after I reminded the waiter. When I mentioned these problems to the cashier and noted that my sister had left without eating her baked potato because she didn't have time to wait for it to be prepared again, the cashier not only refused to accept responsiblity for the misunderstanding, he was insolent. Later I called Sarah, who was identified as the owner, and explained my disappointment with the way that the cashier had handled our problem. Sarah was no more helpful than the cashier. I am disappointed that the Spiral Diner apparently doesn't recognize that healthful food must be accompanied with respectful service. Pros: Healthful food. Cons: Toxic service. more

Without a doubt the rudest service I've received at any restaurant. Additionally, the service was painfully slow, and even at that pace they didn't get my wife's order right - and refused to take it off the bill when we pointed out that the server had automatically submitted the basic menu and completely ignored my wife's requests to modify it by leaving off a few items. Pros: None noted Cons: Rude service, slow service, inattentive wait staff, unprofessional management more

I try to g to go to vegetarian resaurants in every city...this is one of best variety and food tasts...sunday brunch is good too more

I ate there yesterday, the food was good (much better than I expected). The service was relaxed, but I didn't wait long for my food and all the staff were friendly. I had a really good experience here. more
