Gateway Market

Food is always phenomenal! Last time in we ordered a salad incorrectly- totally our fault- and they replaced it for free. Amazing staff, really were looking out for us as people, not an order to fill. Will go out of my way to come back here

I went in to order food to-go on Monday June 1st. It was 8:40pm, they close at 9pm. The older woman at the counter acted as if she was very annoyed with my presence. Even though there were other people waiting for food, and there was a couple sitting at a table eating. I ordered the black bean burger with fries. The lack of care for my food was recognizable. There was barely any thousand island sauce, the bun was stale, and the burger did not taste very good and you could tell it was old. Everything was just thrown together in the box and it was very obvious that the employees were disgruntled. If restaurants want to close at 9 PM, but still serve guests, we should receive the same amount of courtesy as any guest coming to your establishment. I had my food paid for and I left before 9 PM when you close. This is unacceptable behaviour. In regard to the black bean burger, there is a spice in there that is overpowering the entire burger. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it does not taste good and it is a bit smoky. Vegans and vegetarians alike will support places, but not if they are going to be rude and not if the food tastes bad. I should have just stopped at Burger King because

I love Gateway as they are a convenient place downtown to get organic and vegan options in an area where there aren't really any stores like it for quite a distance. It's a neat store that is always tidy and the staff have always been friendly which has helped me tolerate their rise in prices on top of products that are usually double the price already compared to their direct competitors (Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, Fresh Thyme etc.). This is likely because they are a small local business and thus don't have the capital to compete. That's perfectly fine, we like supporting small business. However, the experience I had today probably put me off from shopping there for awhile. For context, at most stores you are allowed to grab parts of some produce to buy as long as the produce is labeled by lbs. Ex., grabbing a vine of grapes, rather than the whole bag. This is ok for most companies because even though the bag is now smaller, it will likely be perfect for another customer and because the produce is sold by the lbs, they still get the exact amount of money either way. This is a standard practice at Hy-vee, Whole Foods, Cash Saver and other grocery chains. I myself have worked r

COME HERE. Whether you are visiting or live here, it is an absolute must. The cafe's vegan "chicken" sandwich is life. It is truly perfection. That aside, their other foods are amazing as well. Their vegan selection is great with many options across the board as well as gluten free. There is a lot to see here. Worth it for the finds!!!

Great cafe attached to a food co-op market. Huge servings for a great value. There are three plant- based options and we recommend the tofu banh mi. It has just the right amount of spice. Noticed others drinking wine while they waited for their takeout. We’ve been twice and service is always friendly and excellent, which is rare these days.
