  • Unless someone's got the rolling papers ready, I'm wary of enjoying this cluttered, counter-culture cafe. You're hippies, but a different brand of hippies. The "anarchist" kind who probably spent their high school years drawing that huge 'A' with the circle around it to make a statement. Take THAT, society! In any case, I appreciate all of the DIY music recordings for sale that line the wall. I enjoyed seeing rather grotesque art I would never buy, juxtaposed with the usual First Friday crowd lounging around in their Wayfarers. I suppose in this way, all establishments on Roosevelt are the same. But let's talk about the service and products. The line was long, but it was incredibly fast. Contrary to their speed, the baristas were relaxed and inviting, as if they know the rep for pretentiousness their job carries and work hard to contradict it. I browsed the baked goods they carried, and although what was ready-made was very limited, I appreciate the niche they were trying to fill. The menu was scribbled on the wall, containing traditional vegan fare like a simple veggie wrap, to 'OMGWTF' shenanigans like vegan nachos made with..."soy-rizo". I noticed the lack of espresso, in fact...I don't think I saw any coffee! Surely, I must have overlooked it. I settled on the avocado smoothie, and perked up with delight when given a choice between rice, almond, and soy milk. I could drink those alone all day long! For $4, the light green beverage was gargantuan, but I was disappointed by its blandness. Fortunately, it's not loaded up with sugar, but at the same time, can we get a little spice in here? Nutmeg? Cinnamon? It was wholly indicative of the Conspire experience. Tons of stuff you won't find anywhere else, to be enjoyed with the sort of crowd that will tie you down (with hemp rope!) and make you watch Zeitgeist until your eyes bleed. Don't be fooled by the Yelps and Foursquares of the world: this place is more of a vegan snack bar than a coffee shop. If you're vegan, absorbed into counterculture, or a sucker for novelty, you will fall in love. If you're the vapid Starbucks traditionalist, you'll look like a deer in the headlights. For people like me in between, it will do. I look forward to trying more of these unorthodox morsels.
