Where: The Bad Waitress
http://thebadwaitress.com/
What I Ordered: The Amsterdam Hash - red potatoes, broccoli, red onions, mushrooms, and tofu with a side of Monster Plate O’ Potatoes hash brown style. My beverage of choice was the cold-press iced coffee. (I kept wanting to call my entree The Hamsterdam Rash in homage to The Wire.)
Notes: Every single food photo I took of this feast was blurry - I must have been all a tremble with hunger. The cold-press iced coffee was my favorite coffee of our entire trip. Another solid eatery - it was a real treat to have so many vegan options for breakfast. The decor here was very funky-retro, colorful and fun. To my recollection the hash browns were cooked to crispy-on-the-outside perfection and the hash was a fortified way to start the day. Each table has a super hero mascot - we were The Human Torch. I wanted to be Apache Chief, however, I didn't see him as an option in my brief scan. Next time!
Where: Seward Cafe

What I Ordered: Biscuits & Gravy (above top) - "housemade vegan biscuit topped with vegan cashew-mushroom gravy, tomatoes and scallions"; Hashbrowns; Vegan GMO-Free "sausage" patties (above bottom).
Notes: This was my personal favorite breakfast meal which I devoured like a Duran Duran wolf lady. I seriously licked up that mushroom gravy - I was lucky to get this photo without biting my own hand off. Another recipe I wanted to steal - the "sausage" patties had me all atwitter in the taste buds.
The atmosphere is ultra hippie-granola, look past that if it bothers you, as the food is worth it. There was a really nice outdoor patio space we wanted to sit at but it was too rainy and cold. The name announcing system sounded like an old Speak-And-Spell so I'd give a very distinct multi word name so you don't miss the call to kibble.
Warning: The unisex bathrooms were covered in graffiti that read like a Jane Seymour for Jared commercial script, and they smelled like an unwashed hot yoga mat topped off with soaking bean farts.
