Voice-Tribune review by Robin Garr
’Tis the season ... no, I’m not talking about that season. ’Tis the season for spectacular over-eating, indulging ourselves a the delicious risk of life and health because, well, that’s what we do at holiday time.If you’re ready for a break, though, or plan to be later, allow me to suggest a trip to Earth Friends Cafe & Coffee Bar, where virtuous dining can also be delicious. Now, the menu here offers a lot of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other genres here that may sound abstemious. But Earth Friends offers options for the omnivorous, too.
Want meat-free? Go with wheat-based seitan or soy-based tempeh. Or go for the real thing, with quality chicken - yes, real chicken - using locavore free-range birds when available. You’re also welcome to choose between the real Big Bird and Tofurky on any seasonal dish using turkey.
The big deal here, though isn’t about meat or no meat. It’s that these folks know their way around a kitchen. Quality is consistently high, whether meatful or meat-free. Flavors snap, crackle and pop; ingredient choices are made with skill, and it all comes together just right on your plate.
We stopped in the other day to check out the new breakfast menu, which is available weekday mornings and all day (through midafternoon closing) on Saturdays and Sundays.
