This spartan cafe attached to the headquarters of mock-meat magicians Upton's Naturals offers sandwiches, salads, sides and more that feature the company's delicious seitan and jackfruit concoctions: you won't believe that the 'bacon ranch cheeseburger,' a meaty patty dripping with cheesy sauce, could possibly be 100% plant-based – but it is. Brunch dishes are available all day on weekends.
