Morning Glory Cafe - Lafayette

Here stopped and found a few vegan options. very friendly staff, were aware of the vegan option. we have the Buddha's hall and tofu-sauté. both were fresh and had a lot of vegetables/tofu. in order they must be careful. all that is fried is out because they use the same oil for meat, also the kartoffels are fried, so they were out. large portion sizes, be beautiful when it was smaller and less expensive. good kovid practices.

Went last night for dinner for the first time and loved it! soup of the day was delicious vegan tomato bisque. i also had the vegan quesadilla! so happy! great tree view! darling patio for warmer days.

The “chorizo” filled quesadilla was so over seasoned I could barely eat it. We all know this happens when the chef may not be familiar with vegan food and using tofu. In fact, I scraped off the tofu bits and asked for double, double extra guacamole to get through it. Willing to give them another shot but will not order that ever again.

I had the open-faced grilled cheese (Daiya) with grilled mushroom, grilled onions, sprouts, and their outstanding house-made cashew sauce. (I recommend dipping their french fries into the cashew sauce...out of this world My dining companion had the Buddha bowl she loved it. The waitresses was new on the job (had been there a week), but had good recommendations and was honest about items she hadn't had a chance to try yet. Comfortable room. Outdoor seating overlooking a park.

We visited Morning Glory for weekend breakfast the other day, and I thought it was just ok (and fairly expensive) The waitress said that the only breakfast option was either the tofu dish, or they could do the Buddha bowl from the lunch menu (also tofu). Not wanting tofu, I asked for the breakfast burrito without cheese or eggs. (at first the waitress didn't think this could be done! what? It was ok-ish and the vegetarian green chili was good. They have gluten free or whole wheat tortilla. Another family member got the tofu dish... it's not scrambled but rather big cubes of soft tofu with brown rice, veggies and tahini. I personally think this 1970s dish is slimy and gross, but if you like it, this version is said to be tasty. The omni eaters seemed to enjoy their standard breakfasts but the breakfast potatoes (HUGE deep fried chunks) got mixed reviews. The lunch menu seemed to have lots more options including stuffed poblano, curry, and vegan grilled cheese. I might give them another try. They also have a vegan smorgasbord on Monday night we might try
