I've eaten here about 6 or 7 times. It's always a pleasant and delicious experience.
I'm an on again, off again vegetarian and on Friday afternoon when my boyfriend told me he decided to become vegetarian, I couldn't have been more excited! The crazy thing is that on Wednesday I had decided the same thing without telling him. He always makes fun of me when I decide to go veggie. BUT now with him doing it as well, it will be a breeze! Now if only I could commit to being a raw foodist for longer than a month at a time... hmmmmm.....
On Saturday morning I said let's go to Mandala Tea Room to celebrate our first day of being vegetarians together. So we did! I ordered the blue corn pancakes with raspberries and a side of tempeh bacon. He ordered the BLT.
Both dishes were scrumptious. They accidentally brought him out a salad, so that nice for him. He ate all my bacon, and then ordered another plate, and only gave me once piece from that order. ha!
The ginger iced tea of the day was refreshing. My favorite is when they have a coconut iced tea.
We debated between the tiramisu or the the blueberry/raspberry cake. Our adorable waitress asked us if we wanted sinful or playful. So we went playful with the blueberry/raspberry cake.
It was also nice that they were playing our current favorite album, In Rainbows, by Radiohead. A day hasn't gone by since we got the cd this fall that we haven't listened to it.
This is one of those restaurants that I could eat at every single day and be super happy!
