Great restaurant, could improve vegan choices

4 Posted on 04 / 09 / 2013

I've been here three times, and it's one of my favorite restaurants in the Pikes Peak area. The staff clearly know a lot about the food and wine, and put quality first.
My first visit here, I had a delicious vegetable sandwich with a white bean spread that is sadly no long on the menu. The two other times I've been there I had the Thai Noodle Salad and the Rice Noodles with Spicy Tofu (which are very similar). Both times they were delicious. My friend and I "shared" the Crostini with Figs and Pears--we asked for the cheeses to be placed separately. However, the crackers also contain butter, which seems like an item that could be easily substituted to accommodate vegans! I know they change their menu regularly, so hopefully they can incorporate a wider variety of vegan options and/or substitutions.
For dessert, I had the apple crisp with a cashew-based faux "whip". On this last visit in particular, my friend and I stayed for a long dinner and were very well taken care of!
I wouldn't recommend this place for a quick bite, but for a high quality meal where every item is carefully thought out, it's fantastic!

Pros: High quality food, Knowledgable servers
Cons: Slower meal, Limited vegan substitutions

Best Vegetarian in the area

I've yet to try something from Adams Mountain Cafe that wasn't memorable, fresh and delicious. Great service and beautiful, artistic dining environment that complements and reflects the vibe of the community of Manitou Springs. Adam's doesn't make a big point of it, but their menu is all vegetarian by default with the option to add meat.

Pros: Fresh & healthy, Delicious, Great vibe
Cons: Parking can be a trick, Busy! Make a reservation

Great place

Adam's mountain Cafe is a great place to go for breakfast or dinner. They have quite a few vegetarian options, and some vegan ones as well. Most of the staff is fairly knowledgeable on the subjects, and are always willing to help. The have a vegan soup everyday, and they also have vegan salad dressing. The prices are a little higher than most restaurants, but the food is much better than others too! If you want to save a few bucks, then go for the lunch or breakfast menu which is usually half the price of the dinner one.

Pros: relaxing, veg/vegan choices, friendly staff
Cons: weird hours and days, higher prices
