  • 5/5 Sruthi V. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been coming here for 5 years since my first month of moving to Evanston. I’ve also brought several guests here over the years. Being a vegetarian, this place has been amazing and often I am confused and spoiled for choice on what to order. During the pandemic, I’ve ordered take out and delivery several times. I believe I have tried everything entrée on their menu. Some of my favorites include the Mongolian stir fry, the pot pie and the Thai peanut noodles. The pot pie used to be a special on the menu until it became a part of their regular menu, probably because it was very popular ! I also like the lasagna and the shiitake walnut loaf a lot. They have a great dessert section, although I’ve mostly been too full to try them out. Among the desserts, the chocolate cake and the tiramisu are my favorite. Service has always been quick and wonderful, whenever I’ve come here. It’s a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the Chicagoland and a must try regardless of whether you live in the north shore of chicago.

    Ok, I can be vegan now. The spice in the chili, the flavors on the BBQ Hogie, the crunchy sweet potato fries, ALL AMAZING. I wish I lived closer. I'd eat here every day. Nothing about this meal made me miss meat at all. And the service was incredible as well. The staff is friendly and charming. You must try this place out.

    So glad we found this place. It was such an amazing experience. We got an outdoor table. The server was very resourceful and friendly, the food was delicious, and the weather was just perfect. We had the Chilaquiles, Warm Onion Gruyere Tart, Thai peanut Noodles and Apple Brie sandwich with sweet potato fries. Everything was so good! There is paid street parking in front - its 2$ for an hour. Will definitely come back.

    I have been coming here since last year and been a few times and every time I have had a great experience. the inside is cozy and brings a warm feeling of comfort when coming inside. there is a dine-in area and then a cafe. each side is well decorated, with adorable little fresh flowers on each table. the staff is great, as they are personal and helpful in answering any questions about the dishes they serve. this visit, i got the Bibim Bop Rice Bowl and man the variety of flavors in this dish brought together brings a flavor explosion on the taste buds. the seitan is seasoned and cooked excellently. i also had both regular and sweet potatoes fries, which are double fried to perfection. not greasy, and have a crunch to them. I have also gotten the gardein pot pie too in the past and i LOVE it. I didn’t get anything from the cafe this time but I have in the past and every drink has impressed me (the mocha especially). the place is pricey but for the atmosphere, service and food portions, it’s so worth it. i almost always leave with another portion for leftovers. vegetarian or not, i promise you will leave wanting to come back again. I will be back here many many more times.

    Pretty decent place in a funky part of town. Tofu was cooked amazingly and worked great with tons of veggies.

    The Macrobiotic Plate was one of the tastiest meals I've ever eaten. This place is excellent.

    Very good experience at this restaurant. I was able to modify my order and they offered me different option to meet my needs. Food was delicious. I had the soup of the day (lentils) for 6 dollars and it was amazing. Excellent service from the start until the end

    I have been going to the BFC for more than 20 years. It has never disappoint; excellent food and great service. Even my meat eating friends love the food! Great place to have a leisurely meal where you don't have to shout at your mates to be heard.
