Bring Vegan Breakfast to SLO!!

Ok, it's time to vent. I awoke to visions of vegan pancakes and tofu scramble, and then reality smacked me in the face: there is no vegan breakfast in SLO! Instant buzzkill.

I have done my research, and as far as I can tell, the closest veg-friendly breakfast spots are either Morro Bay or Los Osos. You would think as a college town, San Luis would have some pretty bomb diners or cafes...tear

Soo...it's time to start pushing our local haunts to provide some delish vegan breakfast options, bc let's face it--breakfast is key! And I also want bottomless mimosas, bc every city has them, so why don't we?

Viva la Vegan brunch!!

Vegan findings at Big Sky Cafe!

There are few spots downtown that offer tasty vegan items, especially when you're out to eat with non-veggie friends. Next time you're out at Farmer's, swing by Big Sky and try the Chilled Sesame Ginger Noodles with tofu ($9.50); simple cool noodles on a bed of spinach, mixed with veggies, peanuts, and well-marinated tofu--nothing crazy, but tasty nonetheless. Do save room for dessert bc their Seasonal Fresh Fruit Crisp ($4.75) is made into an easy vegan option (ask for without whipped cream). No dairy? Whaaa???

Check it out: cute place, not too pricy, but nicer than Chipotle.

Raw Pizza at BeLove!!

Oh BeLove, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

We found another reason to show some V love in Los Osos: Raw Pizza! We're talking onion flax crackers, pesto, cashew cheez and avo...Yesssss.

Think of it as a day trip to one of the best places around.

Don't forget to pick up a Joycup--you won't be disappointed.

FINALLY: VEGAN THAI IN SLO!!

Thank goodness us SLO vegans now have a local Thai place where we don't have to worry about any pesky animal products sneaking into our food: no casein, no fish sauce, no oyster sauce, no shrimp paste! Of course we always knew that cruelty-free Thai food could taste this good, and now other non-veggies are tasting the magic!

Vegan Spices Thai Cuisine has friendly service, a large and clean space, and maybe most importantly: a Thai chef! This is not a vegan place that happens to make Thai food, it is some serious Thai cooking!

Ok, so down to business. There is SO much to choose from, it really makes you want to come back every other day. Some highlights: Cheese puffs (made with Tofutti), Sauteéd Eggplant, Pumpkin Curry, and the Spicy Noodles. If you're looking for something truly spicy, be sure to ask for it, bc the "Spicy" dishes tend to be on the milder side. Oh and who doesn't love a good Thai Iced Tea?

There's also a bangin' lunch special, starting at $7.95 for soup, salad, and a meal.

It's time to show your V power--we want it to stay here!
