| - Hands down Bronze Café is one of my favorite places in town. This wonderful café is nestled in The Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada (The Center) on Maryland Parkway. The café is a small part of The Center, but supports and furthers the mission of the space so well: "[The Center]...promotes activities directed at furthering the well-being, positive image, and human rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, its allies..."
This café focuses on fresh and wholesome ingredients with an emphasis on minimal animal protein through a wealth of vegan offerings. The emphasis on whole foods and vegetables speaks directly to The Center's focus on the "well-being" of the LGBTQ community and its allies. In the past few years more establishments that focus on vegan fare have been becoming popular in the valley. And this place is certainly a fan favorite. There are always lines during lunch and the dessert options are limited later in the evening, but those are my only two negative observations. Not complaints. Who can complain about flavorful and varied food options that do not include meat?
And, make no mistake, the food is delicious. The thing that stands out to me about the many selections I've tried is that they are so well seasoned. These favorites include: the bizness, tree of life, beet salad, Brussels sprouts, hummus, and tonight, the tofurky sandwich. Many of my favorite dishes tend toward a bright citrusy flavor profile and that makes me happy. They just know how to work with textures and flavors and quality ingredients to make simple food sing. The sandwiches are prepared with high-quality bread and there is a wealth of vegetables--either on or accompanying--the sandwich options I have eaten (see above) or eaten.
It's a café, but it's also a place that people are willing to go out of their way to visit on a regular basis because everything about this place feeds them. I want to eat well, but when I can do it in an environment that is community-centered and positive, it is a pleasure. The Center and Bronze Café honor the communities they serve. The Center continues to be one of my favorite places in the Valley. In part because someone had the foresight to create an eating space that feels like the best parts of Vegas. For my money, it is what so many other places in this town strive for. I am so much less interested in "hipster" and "modern" than I am in community advocacy, delicious vegan fare, and free HIV testing. I could not be a bigger fan.
