About

Walden Woods pairs in-house-roasted coffee and spiced chai with vegan cakes, banana bread, and a vegan hot dog in a striking all-white space. Order downstairs, then head upstairs to the unusual stepped seating around a white tree; there are no tables, and several reviewers find the drinks and food pricey for a cafe.
