It’s all about innovation at this experimental, data-driven vegetarian fast casual. The brand recently launched a portable mezza bar package to cater to off-premise demands that features a variety of appetizers and pickled vegetables. The Massachusetts-based company also operates food trucks as well as units inside Whole Foods markets. The chain serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with menus that change seasonally. Its website tells the story behind each dish, including information on the farmers who provided the ingredients.
