3 /5 carrie m: We stopped here on our trip to six flags great escape, since it seems like the only all vegan option in the area. We grabbed the dal tarka, and the bakon & scramble as well as some hole-free sourdough bagels and a sandwich to eat later. (And a pistachio biscotti and big chocolate chip cookie)
The dal was good, flavorful, if a bit salty. (I preemptively took an enzyme, but was still uncomfortably burping more than 4.5 hours later, so…) The rice was nicely cooked though. (We got there shortly after they opened, so it was super fresh). The bakon was adequate, I suppose. Clearly made from a slab of straight up gluten. A little too floppy. The scramble was disappointing. The flavor was there, but it was total mush. My husband couldn’t eat more than a few bites. I ended up packing it up and eating it as a spread inside one of the bagels later. (I’m less willing to waste food, and it was a perfectly flavorful tofu based sandwich filling, just definitely not a scramble.)
Along with the scramble, there were 2 pieces of toast. One plain, and the other was cinnamon raisin. They were both really nice. Very crusty.
For the to-go sandwich it was nice that they packed the moist items separately. The guac and mayo each were packed into 2 oz condiment cups. We had enough to use on other sandwiches later. (Helpful to have extras to enhance your makeshift sandwiches while on the road)
The hole-less bagels were not exactly like bagels. The bottoms were dusted like you’d see on a loaf. They were more like tiny boules. I vastly preferred the jalapeño one. It was much more tender than the plain sourdough one, and it didn’t seem spicy at all. We had a quarter of the plain sourdough one left the next day and it had gotten excessively hard. But we managed to finish it.
Lastly, we had a chocolate chip cookie and a pistachio biscotti. The biscotti wasn’t all that cookie-like. More soft and bready than I expected. The cookie was straightforward, and tasted like a classic bakery cookie. Just the right amount of chips to dough ratio.
