This place is incredible! My boyfriend and I stopped in here to eat while halfway through a 16-hour road trip up the east coast. We were warmly greeted by a super friendly lady (Named Infinity! She’s the best!!) that was working the register at the front of the cafe. She asked us about our road trip & made us feel very welcome, and she also gave us great suggestions to order from the menu. The food came out very quickly which was great for us being on a time crunch with such a long road trip. The food was also over-the-top delicious & very creative, as they have a hybrid vegan/omnivore menu. We got vegan lasagna, vegan Mac n cheese, fried elote nuggets, vegan chicken tenders, & roasted vegs. ALL VERY DELICIOUS! I wish that we had a place like this near home! Everything was 10/10 very delicious & very welcoming atmosphere! Love it!! Huge thank you to Infinity! You rock!!
We came to see Seneca Creek Bluegrass Band play. Great music, good food, generous portions, intimate casual atmosphere. Fun!
Wonderful service, great food, and an extensive menu with plenty of drink options for every taste in an inviting atmosphere. Always a full spectrum of live music. Definitely make time for a visit!
My son is sensitive to dairy and he was thrilled by how delicious the vegan lasagna was! We’re going to have to learn to cook with vegan cheese. I ordered the salmon and vegan mac and cheez— also delicious. We enjoyed listening to the live music as well.
Great place! Went for a concert and reserved a table for a meal. I had the pulled pork sandwich with baked sweet potato on the side and it was delicious! I also ordered an iced latte with dark chocolate and hazelnut added, also really good. Very helpful friendly staff, nice clean bathroom, nice decor (and displaying artwork that is available for purchase which I love) absolutely would go again!
Nice joint! No cover. Great and fun music venues all week! No cover (suggested tip jar for the bands) Great place to relax and have a glass of wine or a beer or a good coffee... Vegan food is good here... (even for non veg heads).. Go New Deal!
Loved visiting for the live music with Low Rent Quartet!! The band is amazing!! They should be there much more often, not just once a month. Awesome venue! Great atmosphere!
Fantastic and diverse events everyday, revamped food and drink menue for all price points! Coffee, kombucha, beer, wine, and now spirits creats a wateringhole Famous Kenny's Kale and music and arts program join together to create a seamless elevated vibe for the community of Greenbelt, famous for it's Co-op practices. Vegan, vegetarian options available, performances in the back stage with bar, outdoor seating as well during warmer seasons.
I am happy we got to head to this delicious place! I have been a handful of times but hadn't really had the chance to sit and enjoy the space or the live music! It was great. This place has my fave TOP 3 pasta and it's my go-to whenever I'm in the area now. I love how authentic the people, music, crowd, and ambiance is. Old school Greenbelt is really comforting, hippieville, and lots of nostalgia that anyone can get to love. Nothing beats that! Cheers to my bestie who came to catch up and celebrate and we both had gifts 🎁 to give! I'm super happy she decided to catch up and celebrate my belated birthday. This was super fun 🥹👏🏾💯! If you love laughs, authentic food, having a good time, and all in Greenbelt supporting the community you'll love this restaurant. Stop by, rate, and repeat 😎.
Really enjoyed the food here. Lots of vegetarian options. Food prices are good. Most dishes were well seasoned and flavorful. They do have many 3rd party vendors. Did find a hair in my banana pudding but that was from a 3rd party so I will not penalized the restaurant. Will come back but avoid the dessert. Staff is so nice and attentive.
