Toil & Trouble’s mission is to lovingly share local and sustainable plant-based cuisine in a welcoming environment.

Founded by father and daughter Anthony and Jessica Alembakis, Toil & Trouble was born to celebrate hospitality and plant-based diets for those that adhere to vegan and vegetarian lifestyles and those who are curious about plant-based cuisine. We’re all about inclusion here – we want our guests to feel comfortable bringing their friends and family into our bar restaurant and feel secure that we will not only accommodate their lifestyle but also create an atmosphere for all lifestyles and personalities with a plant-based menu.
