Being new to vegan diet, I looked forward to trying Bean. The food and service were quite pleasing, and the prices are reasonable. It was a little tricky to navigate to Bean, given its location on Independence Blvd, but this was surmountable. I had the bean bowl with mushrooms, and it was delicious. I am fine with the spartan simplicity of the interior, and am very encouraged by the enthusiasm of the proprietors for vegan cuisine. I learned about seitan, a protein comparable to tofu or tempah, but derived from wheat instead of soybeans. Plan on a tasty meal at a reasonable price.
