Namaste

I hadn't been to Namaste for a long time. Really like the cauliflower, peas, and potatoes. Vegan items are clearly marked as such.

Taco Cat

This was my first time checking out Taco Cat, a business that started by delivering tacos by bike. Now they also have their own space at the Midtown Global Market. We had veggie tacos and also decided to order a side of chips and guacamole. Yum! If you live within their delivery area, you can still have your tacos delivered by bicycle. While you're at it, check out their web site's irreverent FAQ section. 

Herbivorous Butcher

I made my first trip to the wonderfully popular new Herbivorous Butcher. Believe the hype! This place is great! I picked up Italian Sausage, Pastrami, and Dill Havarti. There are so many options! If you live in the area, this is clearly a place you must visit routinely. If you don't live in the area, this place is one reason to start planning a trip to Minneapolis. #allveganeverything

Seward Cafe

Wizard Burger at Seward Cafe. It has a really unique taste. The ingredients, as described on the menu: vegan house-made mung bean patty with lettuce, onion, cucumbers, tomato, sprouts & spicy veganaise, served with a side of vegan coleslaw and sprouts.

Milkjam Creamery

Whoa! Just discovered that the new Milkjam Creamery, on Lyndale Avenue right next to World Street Kitchen, is very vegan-friendly. I had a scoop of Black--the darkest coco. Quality stuff!

Coconut Thai

Coconut Thai is a new place at 50th & France. The menu notes that most dishes can be made vegan. I went with the Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetables with Tofu. Thoroughly enjoyed! 

Jasmine Deli

It had been too long since I last visited Jasmine Deli.  I stopped in for the mock duck noodle salad.

Fasika

The Vege-Sampler from Fasika in St. Paul. It's a little bit of everything and it's pretty awesome.

Pizza Luce

Tried a newer brunch item at the Richfield Pizza Luce. The Buckaroo is the vegan version of the brunch burrito and it includes seasoned tofu and vegan sausage in place of eggs and chorizo. Will order again.

Pizza Nea

Visited Pizza Nea on East Hennepin for the first time since they started featuring toppings from The Herbivorous Butcher. Ordered the veganized version of the Salsicce, which includes (veg) sausage, red peppers, basil, and HB's mozzarella. It's pretty fantastic.
