vegetarian eats

hard times cafe has been around since 1821. i’m told it is popular with the locals. can’t go wrong with seitan i thought and the ban mi was very good. they only take cash or venmo though. sometimes there are vegan cinnamon rolls. soups are pretty tasty, the patio is right next to the street because they don’t let anyone inside during pandemics. they make mint mochas but don’t have oat milk. open late.they sell cigarettes and hats and you can scan their menu on tumblr.

ban mi

yummy. pickled radish and green sauce.
