| - If you are looking for the best vegan restaurant in Charlotte, then Bean is it!
I have been here like 20 times now during my travels through Charlotte and compared to the other restaurants in the city, Bean is the best all-around.
My to-go orders are always ready (except one time) and each item is at the proper temperature. Service is kind. The restaurant food is priced appropriately. And although there has usually been one thing I wasn't crazy about, Bean is solid! I can recommend the pulled (soy curl) bbq sandwich, the Reuben (homemade seitan), fishless fish sandwich, slaw (it is vinegar-based), cabbage, layer cakes (outstanding actually), kitty cat cake, cowboy cookies, and peanut butter pretzel cups (think Take 5 bar). The meatloaf and tater tot casserole are good items as well. The mega bean salad was okay. I can't stand the fried (oily) zucchini, but I don't like fried foods anyway and I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered it. They also have a lot of grab and go items in their market which are good.
Solid vegan food, friendly and efficient service, local organic products, and their mission statement is based on the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Love it!
Even though I think it really is 4 1/2 stars I'm going to upgrade my review to give it five. I think I can be classified as being a Beanstalker now. :)
