Delicious vegan food
Hard Times is not your average cafe. The vegan bakery items are plentiful, the coffee is strong and only a dollar, and the bathrooms are covered with graffiti. Rarely closed, everything here is vegetarian and they only take cash. The menu here is immense, with breakfast combos, mexican entrees, soups, sandwiches and salads. But the real draw is the atmosphere; great place for people watching.
Dishes Tried:
Helter Skelter
The Helter Skelter is a giant pile of veggies and cheese on hashbrowns. The full order is too large, so go with a half order.

Not going back
The long wait and the terrible service is not worth the crappy food. I can put up with that if the food is good, but it isn’t. Also, do I really want people who obviously hate their customers handling things I’ll be eating?
It’s open late, so I guess if you’re drunk enough, it might be okay…but be prepared to WAIT. And there’s no nooch in the tofu scramble. Blasphemous.
Dishes Tried:
Tofu scramble
