Great for a quick cheap bite! Greta option for vegans/vegetarians! Right beside The Art theatre.

The HipPea, the tiny-but-mighty falafel shop that replaced The Flea Espresso Bar in the minuscule space on the west side of the Art Theatre on Retro Row, revolves around one type of food: the vegan giant that is falafel. Based on owner Vered Azari’s grandmother’s Egyptian recipe, this wonderfully bright green ball of deliciousness will fulfill any meat eater or vegan. Served Israeli-style—a little bit of parsley, a little bit of cilantro, chickpeas, onion, cumin, some other magic—and put into a pita pocket, you can either walk-and-eat or enter the struggle of attempting to find a spot at the small diner (unlikely because there is usually a line to begin with).

The food here is outstanding. I'm a big falafel fan, I've had them all over the world, and these are well made and really tasty. The hummus is excellent, I love the big fluffy pitas - not necessarily traditional, but delicious and they work just fine with the other items so who cares - and their fries are way better than they have any right to be (if a little oily). In terms of quality, this place is a gem.
