Maybe I've been missing something, but I haven't seen any vegan options ever at this place, besides tea and maybe a piece of fruit from a basket they sometimes have by the register.




Both of their soup options are usually vegan. They also have a great hummus sandwich with sprouts and veggies that is vegan. And sometimes they will have a vegan penne pasta salad. Not a ton of vegan options, but the vegan stuff they have is yummy.
