It’s almost weekend brunch time! I was in San Francisco recently, visiting my sister and working on a Thanksgiving campaign for Farm Sanctuary featuring Ginnifer Goodwin (I’ll be posting the photos by Ryan Pfluger, and the videos by Yours Truly very soon!) and I got to stop by Herbivore for brunch not once, but twice. How come nobody told me they had doughnuts?! These cake doughnuts can blow Dunkin’ D’s out of the water (and who wants to support them anyway, now that we’ve seen how they treat egg-laying chickens).
These were my delectable brunches of Blueberry Glazed & Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts, and Spinach-Mushroom Scrambled Tofu with House Potatoes. Yum!
Back in New York, I swung by Sacred Chow, who also does an amazing brunch, with everything from biscuits n’ gravy to waffles and thick, yummy french toast drenched in blueberry sauce.
Where are your favorite places to brunch? We’d love to hear to where you make your weekend pilgrimage, or what you make at home. Leave us a comment and tell us!
mmmmmm. best donuts ever!
Seriously, I “brunch” at the Vegan Treats shoppe in Bethlehem, PA. It’s a bit of a drive for me, so I’m good and hungry when I get there.
You can start with a “breakfast” bun (cinnamon, sticky pecan, or coconut) and then move on to a dessert of donuts, brownies, crumbs, and bars. I like to round things off with ice cream and a cookie for the ride home and perhaps a take-home cake or two for dinner.
Mighty-O Donuts in Seattle. I got my brother hooked on them last time I went to visit him. Best donuts I’ve ever had, with outstanding coffee to accompany them. All the hip vibes you expect from a Seattle coffee shop.

I love Herbivore, it was one of my favorite discoveries when moving here! The donuts and the scrabbled tofu breakfasts are two reasons I find myself going back time and time again … YUM I’m getting hungry just thinking about the food there!!
Oh next time you are in the Bay Area try the Veg House in San Jose and Ana Mandara in SF city, Ana Mandara doesn’t have the widest selection of vegan food but the choices they do have are scrumptious and the setting beautiful.
A good friend recommended Vita Cafe during our last visit to Portland. Heading back there in a month and am really looking forward to starting my days there.
Anyone have any recc. for vegan restaurants in Paris??
That food looks amazing!
