Quite an extensive list of vegan offerings. The seared steak and bang bang shrimp lettuce wraps are my favorites. Highly recommend paying them a visit.

So many vegan options! Delicious vegan milkshake, cannolis and sandwich

Lackluster food, even more lackluster service. Guac and the zucchini pancake were tasty, cauliflower wings are one-note and lazy saucing. Once we got our food our server didn’t check on us. Baltimore has delish food spots, but it’s usually the 4+ star ones with mainly caucasian reviewers that aren’t impressive. This is one of those places.

Good vegan options for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Decent place to bring your Omni friends where you know you’ll be able to eat. Service has been friendly and attentive. Coffee/lattes are good. They usually have Vegan Treats from PA which is rad.
Best omelet ever: Goldiloxs.Light, not overstuffed. Just perfect. Thank you!Parking: Saturday mornings no payment until noon. Side street parking. Just a few blocks walk.

This is my go to vegan restaurant. I’ve never had anything here that I didn’t like! It’s so good, I visit there at least 3/4 times a month. Sometimes more if I have the extra cash.

This place is an awesome little spot in the Hamden area. Great vibe, very open feeling, fun decor, huge plants. Nice selection of drinks and food. Good espresso too!Vegetarian options: Impossible burger/taco optionsHuge salads
The staff was quick, attentive, and super friendly. I was told beforehand that the tots were great and that was no lie. The Aztec burrito with add-on chorizo was phenomenal. The cook on the burgers we ordered was perfect and even the basic cheeseburger was delicious.The closest thing to a complaint that I could make was that there was so much worked into the Bloody Mary I got that it wound up being pretty filling in its own right. I didn't manage to finish a second one. So, not really an issue, just something to keep in mind.Vegetarian options: Many of the menu items are either inherently vegetarian or have subs that make them so.

Food was good. Tasty. Some delicious some acceptable. I liked how the food was decorated too - like artwork. For me and the foods I usually eat, the flavor experience here were a little modest. It got the job done basically. The breakfast food was pretty good however flavor-wise. I would certainly come back to try out more dishes, especially breakfast meals which I was more satisfied with. This place has a high variety so it will definitely take a few visits to try enough out, and I don’t mind ;)Parking: You’d have to find street parking ??♂️??♀️

We had such a great meal at the golden west cafe. In town from Nor Cali, our group included a few who are vegan or eat a plant based diet. My sister had seen this Hampden hot spot on the news so we went... The place is super funky with lots of plants and taxidermy...everything we ordered for delicious with my only complaint being that the tacos were too for me to eat all three. The owner had a chapter in Albuquerque New Mexico so some of the dishes have a New Mexican flair. Starters we enjoyed were the Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower wings. We also enjoyed the Hope blue cornmeal pan cakes, quesadilla, Aztec burrito and the tacos platter with green chili chicken. I really enjoyed the menu. The southeast decor was fun. It reminded me a bit of the Frontier in Albuquerque. I highly recommend for those eating a plant based diet and beyond.
