In my last post I mentioned taking an interest in being less of a hermit, so I’ve been checking out what options are available to me for working outside of my cave, specifically veggie friendly eateries with free WiFi. I seem to have hit the motherlode with Cafe Muse, located on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood’s little theater row. Their website describes Cafe Muse as: “the place where a group of vegetarians & non-vegetarians can meet up and all find something they like to eat… With delicious comfort foods, a creative vibe, coffee that will keep you buzzing, and free live entertainment showcasing local talent”. While I haven’t partaken in any of their live events, I’ve enjoyed their great food and strong tasty coffee, so I’m happy to report that they’re all that and more.
Cafe Muse is mostly vegetarian & vegan and they boast of being “proud to have some of the BEST soy products on the market – including our fabulous soy chicken, which is light, moist and delicious – you won’t believe it’s not the real thing.” I’ll vouch for that as well, their fake chicken is perhaps the most realistic I’ve had anywhere… check it out:
This is the Buffalo Chicken Wrap: “grilled soy chicken in a hot sauce with red onions, romaine lettuce and ranch dressing (ask for the vegan ranch). Served on your choice of whole wheat (not vegan), tomato-basil or spinach tortilla and choice of sweet potato fries, side salad or tri-flavor tortilla chips”. As you can see the soy chicken is identical to the real thing, and tastes very genuine as well. The buffalo sauce is nice and spicy, and the crisp & fresh lettuce cooled and balanced it out. Along with my wrap I had to try their sweet potato fries, which were excellent. They fried them to the perfect state of crispiness and served them with a delicious sweet & tangy BBQ sauce.
