Ambiance and taste - Edit
Sassy restaurant style and deceptively complex taste profiles for each food item we ordered. Items that would seem simple by just reading the ingredients list were layered and very tasty! Same goes for their bar drinks. We ordered dinner and also lunch to go for the next day road trip.

First time at a vegan restaurant. - Edit
Had the Reuben, first one since having the "real" ones more than five years ago. It was just as good as I remember and even slightly better (since no one had to die for it). Very comfortable atmosphere and clean. I brought some non vegan family members there and they enjoyed it as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone. I didn't partake but the full bar looked very inviting as well.

Wish I ordered something else - Edit
We ordered off the lunch menu. I got the miso burrito and it was okay. My friend ordered the gyro and we were surprised that the seitan was crunchy. I would order something else besides these two items in the future. Their coffee and smoothie were good though. I want to come back and try something else on the dinner menu.

The best damn Reuben ever - Edit
I decided on a last second stop here and IT WAS WORTH IT. The best damn Reuben sandwich I’ve ever had. The ingredients mix perfectly together and the thousand island dressing is incredible. I wish they had a location in nj or nyc! They would fit right in. Hope to be back again on my travels someday. So stop by! You’ll be glad you did! Yuuummmmm 😍

Curb side pickup currently. Food was actually really good. The wings had a lovely crisp outside, and everything had good flavor and juiciness.

OG Iowa City Vegan Food - Edit
Trumpet Blossom is (currently) the only entirely vegan restaurant in the Iowa City area, and is truly a veg safe place. I tell all my friends that TB has the best fries in Iowa City, and I could drink the maple cayenne aioli that they’re served with. They do rotating specials on the weekends, so make sure you ask your server about them because I’ve had some fantastic dishes (the breaded mushroom/mashed potato burrito stands out the most for sure). They do some sandwich recreations with a vegan BLT and Reuben, but also have plenty of other pasta, salad, soup, and app options. The cocktail/drink menu is also definitely worth checking out! I still order from here several times a week, and I’ve never been disappointed!

Delicious and comfortable - Edit
I was so glad to find this on Happy cow - a quick walk from the hotel I was staying at! The vibe inside is welcoming and comfortable. The server was very friendly. Loved both the fettuccine Alfredo (so many delish local veg in it) and my partner had the meatballs which were tasty too. We finished off with an apple crumble! 10/10!!

Not what I asked for - Edit
I was so excited to eat here for the first time. I got the seitan reuben to go 05/07 and asked specifically for no onions. After my 45 minute ride home I saw that there were onions on both sandwiches. UGH $30 worth of food wasted. So upsetting.

My Favorite Vegan Restaurant - Edit
I haven't found a place across the U.S. that holds a candle to this restaurant. It's nice to be able to come home to the Midwest and have vegan comfort food waiting at Trumpet Blossom Cafe! Their staff is always personable, there are lots of underground music events if you're into that scene, and occasional film screenings on a projector. All around a cool scene, vegan af.
