Some people complain that Blossoming Lotus is overpriced—and their all-vegan all-organic eats and sweets are certainly more expensive than non-vegan non-organics—but over the years they’ve built a devoted fan base that is willing to pay the price. If top-quality gluten-free, vegan, uber-healthy-but-delicious food sounds appealing, this should be your first stop. I did prefer the Pearl-district original (now closed) which was more casual and less expensive that the new Northeast location, but many of the same menu items still exist.
RECS: Now I go for the sweets more than the eats. My favorite: a trail mix cookie eaten together with their vegan soft serve ice cream. (If you go, tell them to bring back the spicy avocado sandwich from the old menu!)
