| - I'm always excited to hear about a new vegan-friendly eatery in town, so I couldn't wait to check this place out! The cafe is open and bright, and they have both tables or sofa seating available. They also have a stage, so maybe they will be having live music at some point? Or maybe an open mic poetry night where I can read my vegan sonnets? (Kidding!)
They have a standard cafe menu of soups, salads, and sandwiches (including wraps and panini). They have a list of like 6 vegan soups (!!) including vegan chix noodle, minestrone, chili, lentil, and butternut squash. However, only the lentil was available. Booooo!
There is a vegan/vegetarian version of the standard menu that is almost exactly the same -- they just replace the meat and/or cheese with a vegan version (they have Tofurkey and Crown meats, and it looks like Daiya cheez). My server told me that all of the vegan/veggie menu is vegan (or can be made as such). Yay!!!
They also have a juice bar, various teas, boba (which is organic and not as sweet as regular boba - I overheard a discussion about this) and frozen yogurt. You can dine in or do takeout.
The service was pretty quick, I was seated immediately with a menu, then a couple minutes later I was brought a little dish of dried fruit to gnaw on while making my menu decision. What a cute idea!
I opted for the Vegan Cobb Salad ($9.99) with vegan ranch dressing. I will admit I was a little underwhelmed, although, to be fair, it came exactly as described on the menu - lettuce, tomatoes (only a few), croutons bacon bits, fake turkey, a little cheez, and avocado. I could have used a few more veggies in there (carrots? cucumber?). But what the hell, I've never had a real Cobb salad so maybe that's right on the money.
Regardless, it was a good size, very tasty. and they did not skimp on the avocado! The dressing was so good. They only gave me a little tiny cup, but that's really all I needed.... and if they'd doled out more, I would have just slopped on some unnecessary calories. The salad also came with some very fluffy whole wheat pita that was delish. I just had a black iced tea to drink, which was fine but nothing special (and $2.99?!?).
They have a deal going on now that you get half off your drink with the purchase of an entree. It's a bit pricey, but it is organic food, so you're getting really good quality. I think this place has a lot of potential. As is, I'd give it a 3.5, so we might be rounding this score up to 4 if my next visit (and there will definitely be one) goes well.
