Here are some new additions to VRG’s guide (Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic many are doing take-out and/or delivery now):

Mothership, 2310 30th St., San Diego, CA 92104

Reserve a 2- to 6-person table (there is also a walk-in option but you may only get space at the bar if at all) for a 90-minute experience at this themed (Sci fi meets tropical tiki) bar. Everything, from the menus, to the presentation of the cocktails and tapas dishes, to the bathrooms, has been carefully selected to contribute to the ambience. Most cocktails and zero-proof mocktails are based around tropical fruit juices, coconut, and different Caribbean rums and liqueurs, combined with different herbs and even (in the Zero Proof Stun Ray) Szechuan peppers, and are served with unique and fun garnishes and decorations.  The tapas-style shareable food is eclectic and innovative, leaning towards Asian fusion. For example, the “Potato” dish features scallion latkes served on a bed of kimchi cream cheese, with Japanese cucumber and black radish.

Organic Food King, 3246 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33127

Serving up organic comfort food in the Wynwood area of Miami, this vegan food truck features an extensive menu of meatless meals that even carnivores are likely to enjoy. From breakfast sandwiches and egg burritos to tacos, hot dogs, burgers, “chick’n” sandwiches, and sweet smoothies to boot, there’s something for everyone. Outdoor seating is available.

Propaganda Coffee, 17806 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, OH 44107

Propaganda Coffee has lots of Eats to choose from. Besides salads, sandwiches and more, there’s Potato Latke Waffles, described as “hot, fresh and crispy,” served with applesauce or sour cream. If you’re in the mood for some crunch, you might enjoy Blackberry Overnight Oats with a vanilla twist and granola. The Pesto Flatbread features house made pesto, feta and roasted red peppers. For veggies bursting with color and texture, there’s peanut-sauced Raw Pad Thai or veggie based Coconut Curry Noodles in a cream sauce, crowned with cashews, sesame and cilantro, and served cool as the cucumber in this dish. Drinks offer so many choices! There are cold beverages and more hot. Hot drinks include varying flavors of tea, hot cocoa, mocha, macchiato, espresso and cappuccino to name a few. Baked goods abound with cakes, rotating varieties of doughnuts and Lemon Lavender Scones. If muffins are your jam, besides blueberry, there’s also Matcha. Are you in the mood for a different type of sandwich? They’ve got you covered with a double cream cookie sandwich. Propaganda Coffee is located near Beck Center for the Arts.

RāwASF Plant-Based Café, 1679 N Milpitas Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035

Besides Steak & Eggs Bagels, and Eggs & Bacon Bagels, The All-Day Breakfast menu section also includes Adaptogenic Mushroom Toast starring roasted mushrooms, umami spread, roasted garlic, sliced radish, maitake mushroom dust, and truffle oil served on levain bread with seasonal microgreens. Another choice is Rawvocado—sliced avocado graced with plum jam, roasted garlic, radish and seasonal microgreens, served on levain bread. RawASF serves Adaptogenic Lattes with herbs like ashwagandha, sea buckthorn, camu camu or mushrooms like reishi, in cold brews with a coffee or matcha base. You can customize your own Superfood Bowl or choose one of their artistic, colorful designs. If you’re craving Pizza, there’s Pepperoni, or White Truffle with wood-fired mushrooms and white truffle oil, both served with plant based mozzarella and avocado pesto. Choose from several Burgers, many with Smoked flaxseed cheese. Looking for a saucy burger? Spicy Jalapeno 2.0 features goji mango-habanero with pickled cucumber. There’s a BBQ burger too— to name a few. Finally, there are oodles of Smoothies including a gorgeous, violet colored Ubé Avocado Nice Cream, whipped up with a whole avocado, coconut milk, agave and purple sweet potato/yam.

The Fragile Flour, 122 East 7th St., New York, NY 10009

Enjoy sweet and savory plant-based desserts and wines from around the world including apple cider parfait, chai hazelnut tiramisu, and salted maple pumpkin pecan pie. Note this place is walk-in only with 12 seat spaces.

Wellness Sushi, 2504 E Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80206

Sushi items on the menu include krunchy krab with krab salad and avocado, ebi tempura roll with vegan shrimp tempura, and an ohnagi roll with green bean tempura. The menu also features okinawa origiri including classic crunch onigiri with vegan spam and tamago. Several ramen bowls with soboro soy meat are available.

Yellow & Lavender, 1406 McGavock Pike, Ste. D, Nashville, TN 37216

Yellow & Lavender is a charming and eclectic bakery located in the heart of the Inglewood neighborhood. You’ll find a variety of sweet and savory creations on display at the counter, though possibly not for long as the menu changes weekly. Help yourself to a classic almond croissant stuffed with almond créme, a bread pudding cup surrounded by cinnamon roll and blended with pumpkin spice babka, or a classic pig in a blanket croissant that you’d swear had real cheddar and sausage in it. The shop is owned and operated by an LGBTQ+ couple who used to make hundreds of confections for other restaurants and coffee shops in Nashville. The shop’s decor is a reflection of the couple’s philosophy: pennants with slogans like “we ain’t mad with nobody,” “this is not the end of the road for you,” and “no dairy, meat, fear, homophobia, racism, misogyny, ignorance, or drama . . . be nice or go home” abound. For those with dietary restrictions, there are gluten-free options available. The bakery is also wheelchair accessible with both indoor and outdoor seating. Note that the shop is located in the back alley of Riverside Village, a small cluster of businesses within Inglewood.
