100% Plant-Based Cafe 🌱

Nourish is a 100% plant-based and Non-GMO cafe with a large selection of items, the restaurant offers Savory and Sweet Toast as well as salads, sandwiches, rice bowls, waffles, baked goods, soup of the day and juices. I tried the toast sampler, frittata, and almond pudding. The savory and sweet toast was amazing, I picked the lox, butter & jam, pumpkin, avocado toast. ( the sampler has 3 smaller toast). Both the lox and pumpkin were made with creamy nut cheese from Kite Hill. The butter & jam is made with a drizzle of Miyoko's Vegan Butter and the avocado was simple but my favorite. Well worth the $3.50 the frittata is moist and flavorful with hints of rosemary. I can't wait to go back and try the mock tuna salad and soup of the day. Nourish has two locations both with different menu's, Hyde St. and California St. and 6th Ave and California St.

Shinzen Sushi translates to Nature Sushi

Where is the vegan sushi?? Shinzen, Vegan Sushi Bar & Izakaya in the Mission offers some of the most thought out creations of vegan food I've ever seen. This might explain the line outside the place on this particular Saturday evening. I make it a rule not to wait in lines... but eating by yourself has it perks! I get a seat at the last spot at the sushi bar. The menu is genius for vegans, you can get Nigiri with roasted pepper, eggplant, tomato and green mango. The rolls have clever titles; Secret Weapon, Colonel's Pipe, the Surprise Ending (comes with a shot of sake in the center), the Candlestick ( presented with a flame on the side, seriously), and Hidden Agenda. I've heard from repeat customers that the ramen is excellent. The dessert delivered next to me (sorry for staring) looked exceptional, green tea ice cream with fresh fruit placed beautifully around the ice cream. The beauty is in the presentation, excellent flavor and a place that transcends beyond the monotonous vegan fare.

Plant-Based Mexican Cuisine in the Mission District

Gracias Madre is a plant-based Mexican food restaurant in the heart of the Mission District (between 18th & 19th Street) in San Francisco. What makes this place so special is its ambiance, handcrafted iron works, a beautiful mural in the outside dining area as well as the wood floor inside, and matching chairs. The food can be hit or miss so be sure to ask your waiter or look at the 1,500 images that Yelpers have provided.One thing that stands out is how well the dishes are plated. I tried the Chilaquiles with cashew cheese and Rojo sauce (pretty good), the salsas in the trays, green and red had a perfect blend and balance of peppers and spices which made it hard for me to chose which one to put on my dish. I spent time alternating between the two.
