The Yabba Pot Cafe, located at 2431 St. Paul Street, is “Baltimore’s premiere Vegan hot spot”. Owned by “Mama” Chef Skai, the restaurant offers Rastafarian-influenced cuisine called “Ital”, the main concept being that food should come straight from the garden to the table – no processing and no preservatives. She even uses traditional Afrikan clay Yabba Pots for stewing. The menu and specials change daily. A community-oriented business, the Yabba Pot also features cooking classes, workshops and seminars, as well as a poetry venue Saturday evenings. Check out the menu online!
One World Cafe is Baltimore’s only organic vegetarian restaurant and all those cakes believe it or not are vegan. Located off W University Parkway you can come in and enjoy a healthy full-course meal, relax at the bar or have a smoothie on the couch while you read the paper. You can check out there menu online.
Golden West Cafe is located in Historic Hamden, offering vegetarian, vegan and organic meat options with a text-mex attitude. The cafe is spacious, lively, bright and who doesn’t like those recycled album cover menus. I always enjoy being reminded of Gary Glitter or Liberace before breakfast. The Golden West also has a long bar so even if you’re not eating you can still enjoy the ambiance.
