Even Stevens Sandwiches

Even Stevens is new to the valley, and I hadn't heard of them prior to their AZ expansion. After hearing about their cause (for every sandwich sold, they donate a sandwich/its fixings to charity), I was excited to give them my business.

They have 3 dedicated vegan sandwiches, marked with a tomato icon on the menu. They have some salads which can be tweaked to be made vegan. The Brava Tots can be made vegan upon request (they'll just add vegan brava instead of the vegetarian brava sauce).

They currently do not have any vegan desserts, but a chef informed me that a chocolatey vegan dessert will be coming soon. Yay!

At this location, I have had The New Morrissey three times. It has been different each time. The first time was perfection: the wrap was toasted and warm, the perfect amount of veggies were added and it was delicious. The next 2 times it wasn't toasted. One of the times they forgot the jalapeños and avocado/guacamole that I had added (and paid for), and there was an overload of carrots, which overpowered the other flavors.

The tater tots are so good with the vegan garlic brava mixed with ketchup. Napoleon would approve.

The restaurant space is large and open. There is an outdoor patio area, which will be a hit when it warms up again. The music here is banger! I end up dancing in my seat every single time I'm here. I suggested they host a karaoke night once a week or so; it'd be a hit!

They have one of those soda machines with the 101 flavor mix options (disclaimer: I do not know if there are actually 101 flavors, but there are a lot), and they have crushed ice here.

Being a downtown location, my only complaint is the darn parking. They initially were validating parking at 100% of the cost, but something happened with the building management and the validation was reduced to a discount of like a few cents. This gave me major side eye, but it's not the restaurants fault. I was informed that they are trying to rectify this.

Cool concept, friendly staff, yummy vegan options, and reasonably priced.
