Really cool place, all vegan, tasty, decently priced food. A bit understaffed when I went, food took a while. The mac n cheese with bbq soy curls (must add!) was good but a bit overwhelmingly huge. could have had it half the size and a slightly cheaper price. good pastries. Top floor above the book store. Board games available.

Really lovely hole in the wall. The cafe sits above a book store and is entirely vegan, yay! The woman that owns and works the place was kind, as well. I ordered the buffalo quesadilla (YUM) and my mom ordered the reuben sandwich (also YUM). Great spot to grab lunch and read a book if you're interested.

Fantastic!!!! I’ve been 5 times already and the service is pristine and filled with love! I recently went gluten free and soy free and the owner made a cake special when I asked, and asked for my number to call me when it was made
SO KIND 😭 But such an amazing experience eating here
The buffalo quesadilla is delish and can be made gluten free! Also the salads, the Risa sunset smoothie and of course THE CARROT CAKE (fresh out of the oven) 😍

I had a postive experience at Ten Forward Cafe. Many drinks and dishes have Star Trek inspired names, and Star Trek and space toys and posters decorated the space. The staff was friendly, greetly me promptly, and though I was told it might be a short wait, my food came out very quickly. I had the (vegan) BLT which came with a side salad - both amazing. The only thing I didn't love was the space.

I've been here a few times and had a great experience each time. The place is great for any vegetarian and vegan, but also enough to satisfy any meat eater.

Buffalo Quesadilla was awesome. Cafe seems to be Star Wars TNG themed.

This review is for both the cafe and the cafe's owner's sister who runs Mama Bear Bakery. Both establishments really made me feel comfortable. I have eaten at the cafe 3 times now. I had the owner of Mama Bear Bakery bake pies and "cheesecakes," vegan of course for my wedding. It was a pleasant experience. We received quality service and a decent price for all of the hard work. Thank you so much!!!

Great little cafe right above an equally awesome bookshop. We ordered "the borger" and the "chicun quesadilla" along with a turmeric latte. Everything tasted delicious. The workers were very polite, a pleasure to speak with, and they used gloves! An all around excellent experience.

Absolutely love this little cafe! So many options and the food was fantastic. The atmosphere with plenty of books and games to play makes it fun and interesting.

A great place to grab some good coffee and vegan snacks while finishing your assignments or your favorite novel. Tucked inside the Autumn Leaves Used bookstore, this place is a good place to enjoy a nice relaxing break.
