Great for before or after a show

4 Posted on 04 / 23 / 2009

This is located inside the Black Cat, which is a great music venue/bar. I always get excited when a band plays there because I know either beforehand or afterwards I'm going to get a great vegan meal. Even though this is inside the venue, you don't have to pay to enter--just tell them you are going to the cafe, which is off to the left of the main entrance. Cooks are always friendly, and will recommend food if you are wavering on what to get.

Pros: Fantastic prices, Hours, Menu
Cons: Cash Only

GREAT Late spot

It was a little confusing to find Food For Thought, and we were worried we'd be charged to enter, since we were carded, but once inside, we ordered, paid and were rewarded with quick and delicious late night vegan divey eats. my friend got a deep fried vegan chili dog and I ordered the vegan lasagna, and we got a piece of cake to split. The lasagna was awesome, but they were out of chili (it was well past midnight) so they gave us fries to make up for the mistake. Everything was wonderful except the cake. Don't bother.

It's definitely a dive, crowded, full of drunks, but as long as you're not looking for 4 star dining, then you'll enjoy it.

Pros: cheap, fast, tasty
Cons: crowded, confusing

Great food, low prices

This is a great, grungy place with low prices and excellent food. Their vegan lasagna was delectable---just as good as anything I've tasted at fancy vegan places in New York or Chicago. Their nachos were also excellent, with a good mix of veggies and tangy cashew cream vegan cheese. The only drawback is that they don't accept credit cards. Also, it's not the best place for dates, but it's good for a quick, cheap, tasty bite.

Pros: Taste, Prices
Cons: Not 100% vegetarian, Cash-only, Lack of decor
