Plant Cafe

Highly recommended by Gitana, Plant Cafe (formerly called Lettus)
serves wholesome, organic breakfast and lunch fare, as well as juices,
smoothies, pastries, etc. in their three San Francisco -based
locations. So when I found out their newest location was a five-minute
walk from the office where I was interviewing yesterday, I excitedly
planned to spend my lunch break there. The place was PACKED and if
Gitana hadn't insisted that I try their signature lentil cashew
burger, it would have taken me hours to decide what to order! The
burger was certainly worth the hype (picture to follow), and I
finished it feeling deliciously full in the wholesome way that only
organic vegan food can provide.

Since my lunch break was so rushed, I snuck back after my last
interview for a relaxing cup of [excellent] drip coffee and a
[deliciously chewy and soft] vegan oatmeal raisin cookie. (Why is it
that I can justify eating dessert after both lunch AND dinner when I'm
traveling!?)

In any case, I will certainly be returning to Plant Cafe during my
next trip to the Bay Area. (And i already know what I'll be ordering!
The "Protein Smoothie": banana, hemp protein, coconut milk, and almond
butter. Yum!)
