Oh sweet Lord! Here’s another delectible dessert from Vegan Express, the “Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Cake” which it appears they get from a company called “No Udder Desserts”. It was fork-lickin’ good… thick and moist and chewy, the taste of the frosting reminded me of Abbazabba candy (but not as salty). Ingredients: Unbleached flour, brown sugar, water, mashed banana, vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (there were nice chunky bits in the cake), canola oil, baking soda, vinegar, vanilla, salt, frosting (powdered sugar, peanut butter, walnut, peanut, soymilk). Whatever mojo they did there with those ingredients was pure magic.

This is the Lentil Wrap at Vegan Express which had a lentil filling along with avocado, lettuce, tomato and alfalfa sprouts in a whole wheat lavash bread. The sauce that came with it I think is their Tahini dressing. It was really good, and as you can see, quite large. The lentil filling was oniony, and I hate raw onions, but the tasty flavors of everything else masked it enough so that the onion flavor didn’t ruin it for me at all.

I’m so glad that I decided to give Vegan Express another try. I’d eaten there once before, years ago, and left dissatisfied (didn’t like the food, didn’t like the guy behind the counter). Recently though I’d read a pretty good review of them somewhere, so decided to give it another go. This time I had a much better experience, and I now I really like the place!

They had so many tantalizing choices on the menu, including Asian dishes (it’s owned by a cool Thai lady), salads, soups and curries, burgers & wraps and even breakfast (served anytime!).

I finally opted to try the “Cowboy Burger”, which is a seitan patty grilled with garlic, cilantro and Braggs. It’s on a wheat bun with romaine lettuce, tomato, sprouts, veganaize, avocado and soy cheese. If you would have told me it was a chicken patty, I would have believed you. It was excellent in every which way.

These were the grilled seasoned potatoes. Very tasty, and even the ketchup was fantastic (it had a slightly spicy kick).

I took this little lovely home with me for later, it’s a vegan cheese cake with a graham cracker crust, the strawberries were my own touch. I really don’t think there are appropriate words to describe how good it was, so I’m not even going to try.
