4 out of the 10 sandwiches they offer are vegetarian. Only one is vegan. That said, they are loud and proud with that one vegan sandwich! And that goes a long way in my book. Moreover, they are completely open to veganizing any of the other sandwiches or their salads. I didn't have time to ask if any of their soups or baked goods were vegan. If they were vegan they were not marked as such which is unfortunate. At a minimum, they should always offer a vegan peanut butter cookie or something like that. I loved that after you place you order they give you a card with an animal on it instead of a number. So when your order is ready they call out "Turtle!" or "Sea Urchin!". It wasn't clear to me whether they recycled and/or composted. I didn't see any recycling bins. All things considered, Brew is a wonderful addition to the TC veg-friendly restaurant scene. If I could combine the homemade vegan soups and smoothies at The Dish with the Very Vegan sandwich at Brew, I'd have the perfect Traverse City lunch spot.
