One of the best restaurants around is the Eden vegan café in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This eatery is a pleasant surprise in a historically non-vegetarian area. Eden features regional veganized specialties like Kielbasa and Peppers, Buffalo (chicken) Drumsticks in Hot Sauce, Meatball Subs, and “Old Forge” (Sicilian style) pizza, plus a nice variety of vegan desserts. Though surrounded by old buildings in a historic downtown, Eden has a new and fresh look. We’ve been there three times, and the counter service wait staff has always been super friendly and efficient. Diners varied from families with kids to college students to business people to seniors. In addition, the restaurant was always easily clean enough to take your non-vegetarian parents. Even the bathroom was bright and sanitary feeling.
