Blaze Pizza

So happy to see another pizza chain, Blaze Pizza, offering vegan cheese on their menu. Similar to PizzaRev, this place offers Daiya on a pizza that's made quickly and is offered at a reasonable price. When I asked for vegan cheese, the person making my pizza kindly asked if I'd like her to change gloves before proceeding. PizzaRev has vegan sausage, which is probably the only significant difference that I noticed between the two chains. Blaze currently has two Twin Cities area locations, Minneapolis (Stadium Village) and St. Louis Park.

Reverie Cafe & Bar

Reverie is the new mostly vegan place at Franklin and Nicollet. I had the Cubano, which includes "pulled jackfruit in a smoky sauce served on a Vietnamese French roll with garlic aioli and pickled onions." Really good stuff! I think the restaurant is completely vegan except that they offer dairy milk, presumably for people who want it in their coffee.

Pizza Luce

How is it that I've never ordered the City Slicker off the weekend brunch menu at Pizza Luce?! It's the vegan version of the Cajun Breakfast and it's pretty awesome. Got this one at the downtown location.

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.
