I found Earth Bistro Cafe (on Yelp!) last weekend, as my husband and I were driving from New Jersey to Nebraska and looking for vegan food along the way. I stopped in and ordered the vegan quesadilla and vegan veggie panini to go.
I was so impressed with this place! The guys who run it are total sweethearts (I came in right as they opened, so we chatted while they got the food ready), and our meals were delicious and well-portioned. (I was especially fond of the potato salad and super-fresh coleslaw that came with the panini.)
The menu is extensive, offering both meat and vegetarian/vegan options, and most items can be made vegan and/or gluten-free. There's also a wide selection of juices and coffee beverages. Prices are reasonable, especially as the portions are generous ($20 got us enough food for a nice lunch plus snacks later in the afternoon).
I'm always delighted to find hearty vegan options that go beyond salad - especially when I'm traveling. It's icing on the dairy-free cake when they're served up by friendly people.Thank you, Earth Bistro Cafe!
