Greenfield Natural Kitchen

I checked out Greenfield Natural Kitchen, which is a new establishment in the skyway-level of Minneapolis' Canadian Pacific Plaza. I've noticed long lines at this place since they opened. You have the ability to choose from a variety of greens, grains, and the option of tofu among the "protein" options. I ordered a bowl with quinoa, black beans, spinach, kale, tofu, avocado, and mushrooms. I love that the tofu is less expensive than the dead animal options.Their in-store menu clearly labels which dressings are vegan, and most of them are. A nice lunch option.  

The Bad Waitress

The Vegan Faux Sloppy Joe at The Bad Waitress remains one of my favorite vegan things in Minneapolis.

Foxy Falafel

I love Foxy Falafel.

 

Tiny Diner

First trip to Tiny Diner. Ordered the Grateful Bowl, which consists of roasted vegetables, farro, quinoa, kale, tofu, pistachio, avocado, wild mushrooms, and roasted garlic. It's quite good. The vegan options on the menu are pretty limited, but it does claim that many menu items can be made vegan or gluten-free. Check it out.   

Pizza Luce - Hopkins

Of all the times I've visited Pizza Luce over the years, I think this is only the second time I've ordered a salad as a main course. This is the veganized version of the spinach salad at the Hopkins location. That's a lot of lemon pepper tofu! Trust me, there is spinach under there. And it was all good. 

Cupcake - Mall of America

My first visit to Cupcake at the Mall of America resulted in a bit of a surprise. That surprise was finding FOUR flavors of vegan cupcakes. I chose this tasty one with strawberry frosting.

Marin

Really liked a curried lentil and mushroom dish at Marin, located in downtown Minneapolis. At the moment, their online menu is not updated. They have retained one vegan entree and several clearly-labeled vegan sides and small plates.

Herbivorous Butcher

I made it to the Minneapolis Farmers Market early enough on Saturday morning to pick up some vegan bologna before they sold out of everything!
