When I went to ABC Cafe, I noticed that there was nothing on the menu to indicate which items could be made vegan. The waitress explained that they are willing to make anything vegan by leaving out certain ingredients, but obviously some work better than others.
One caveat for vegans: the soy cheese contains casein. The staff seemed pretty aware of this fact, however, and made sure to steer me away from my original plan of ordering nachos with soy cheese.
I ended up having a seitan sandwich on garlic toast (made with soy margarine) and a glass of Ithaca chai. Both were delicious. On the night that I was there, ABC had vegan carrot cake for dessert.
