Night owl? This vegetarian cafe is open almost 24/7. It's a great place to camp out for hours on end, is super budget-friendly, and has unmatched character - excellent people watching and weird music. Bring cash!

Our neighborhood plant-based eatery. My favorites are the cauliflower buffalo wings, the "dirty secret" burger, and of course, the soyclones! The cheezecake is pretty delicious too if you're looking for something rich.
