grindcore coffee house- phillys first all vegan coffee shop. they are still in the process of fully opening, so at the moment they only have a limited, but quality selection. lots of vegan treats, south philadelphia baking society, etc... i dont drink coffee, so i've only had the tea and it was hella good. they do have like 4 different kinds of milk for yr coffee and tea. sickerz. i can't wait until they have a full menu. the streets are saying nothing but great things about this place.
horizons- i hadn't been to horizons in well over a year or two. in my time away from eating there, i've eaten at a few comparable places (laughing seed cafe in ashville, 222veg in london, sprig and vine in new hope, etc...) and horizons kinda sucked real hard this time around, both price-wise and in taste. their crepe was like a shitty pancake/omelet, the pan seared tofu was real salty and came with only 5 pieces of squash and a tasteless sauce. the highlight was the chocolate-stuffed beignets and even then the chocolate was horrible!
sprig and vine- i've only been here twice. once for brunch and then for dinner. i had the french toast and doughnuts for brunch. both were amazing. for dinner i had the tofu satay and the tempeh. the tofu is a simple dish, but done real well and a fair sized dish. the tempeh is the best i've ever had. it has a crispy cornmeal crust and a wonderful maple-mustard sauce. i look forward to eating everything on the menu at sprig and vine. i wish they were in the city rather than an hour north.
loving hut- cheaper priced vegan fast food-ish style food on south st. i've had good cheap sushi from there and a sub, er...'hoagie' with two kinds of mock meats. the supreme master cvlt knows what's up.
