Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market San Diego Ca.-Review

After googling around trying to find the bestest vegan breakfast in the San Diego area this place kept coming up. Now back home most of the grocery stores have a hot food department and most really are not that good, and there are none locally that serve a 100% vegan breakfast.

Where I come from the co-op was a feed mill that produces feed for livestock and farming supply. The thought of a customer owned grocery store is awesome to me, with the fact that it does not sell any meat products just blows my mind. The fact that we are able to wake up and run to a place for breakfast just really gets me happy. I love tofu scramble, I have been told that I make it to much at home because I just truly can't get enough of it. If you would have told me 2 year ago that I would be a tofu junkie, I would laugh at you and called you crazy.

Now as you pull up to this place get ready because parking is limited and in high demand so get aggressive or park on the street. As you walk in you are on the grocery level and you walk up to the cafe level and wow what a sight. They have a fully stocked salad bar along with with a mixed salad case that has potato salad and stuff like that. With a self serve coffee area that has some of the best coffee I have ever tasted in the world. 

Now here is where it gets real fun, while you order you breakfast you tell them how much you want of each item and they weigh your plate so you only pay for what you eat. Certain items cost more than others so they weigh as they go, so if you want a lot of one certain thing you can get it. This place really is awesome cause you can totally customize what you want to eat. I am talkin bout biscuits and gravy, tofu scramble, roasted potatoes all which tasted like they were made in my kitchen. 

They have a fully stocked bakery case which is also charged by the pound, so cool. There are plenty of juices to chose from also that are made fresh daily. 

The grocery side of this place has a lot good deals for the members most prices were comparable or even better than back home. If I lived out here, this place would be the only place that I would have to go get my supplies for the week. 

To sum it all up, they have a great vegan breakfast, out of this world good coffee, and a rockin grocery store all under one roof which makes me very jealous that I don't have this at home.

Our last day we went back again for breakfast and sat outside, gorgeous weather!

Mint Tulip Vegan Cafe, Albuquerque New Mexico.- Review

I found this place online months ago back in Pa. while planning this trip and have been waiting and waiting finally the wait was over. They have free parking in the rear on the restaurant (which was awesome) and as soon as you walk in you start to feel so happy from the colorful vegan menu. I had to step  back and look at the menu I was blown away at how good the prices were, so reasonable and fair for the quality of food and service your getting you can beat this place at all.  It was early so of course breakfast was on our minds, we started with some fresh squeezed juices Amber went the carrot route and I stuck with good old fashion OJ. They have a monster juicer in the place I never did ask what model it was, it was huge. Fresh juice is the only way to go I told the wife to order us a juicer for the house.

The tofu scramble did not disappoint me at all full of flavor almost like mine from home. So many places have no clue how to prepare or cook tofu but not this place they rock, this place takes tofu to a whole new level for me. Before I was vegan I would love to get sausage gravy over biscuits every time we went out for breakfast, but I have never found it in vegan place till today. This maybe a dream cause I can't believe this is vegan it was so rich and creamy and the taste was just like grandma was behind the counter making it for me. 

  Now the pancakes were with out a doubt hands down the best pancakes that I have ever tasted in my life. If you didn't read that last line here we go again THEY HAVE THE BEST PANCAKES ON PLANET EARTH. Where ever you live on the planet you need to make your way here just for the pancakes and you will live a happier life for doing so. They were like warm cinnamoney blankets of goodness. When we left there I felt so full but I was feeling that I was missing out on something cause the menu was calling my name to come back for lunch, so I listened and that's where we ended up at for lunch.

When we arrived back to the mint colored restaurant the first thing we start with was the vegan milkshakes and wow. My nonvegan sons were even blown away with the flavors. The wife decided  on the Grilled Veggie with a side of potato salad, I was really hungry so I started with the  Brat with Kraut & Onions with a side of pasta salad, and ended up with a BLT with a side of quinoa tabouli. I really need to make that quinoa salad when I get home it was so flipping good. 

So if you ain't booked a flight to ABQ then you better get cause this restaurant alone is a good enough reason to come here. Like I said don't miss this place you will regret it for the rest of your days. My only wish here is that we had more time in ABQ so we could of ate the whole menu.
