About

Square Cafe is a colorful, roomy breakfast-and-lunch spot with a substantial, clearly marked vegan section, including Brussels sprout hash, vegan biscuit sandwiches, and peanut butter pancakes. Weekends can bring long waits and a noisy dining room; weekday mornings before 10 are a quieter bet, though recent reviews report some uneven vegan dish quality and execution.
