Vegetarian and vegan selections to fool the card-carrying carnivore.

The Scene

This unassuming and friendly spot is situated inside the Golden Grocer, the Central West End's health food shop. You can choose your food from the case or a menu; take it with you or eat in at one of several tables.

The Food

At breakfast, the time restrictions are as laid-back as the atmosphere at Juhari's--if you want breakfast at 4pm, you can get it. The Soujourner scrambled tofu, cream cheese and basil eggs, waffles, French toast and grits are only a few of the selections. Most breakfast items cost about $3. Mock-chicken and mock-tuna salads have the taste and texture of traditional meat salads and come as a sandwich on multigrain bread or a potato roll. Several quiches are offered, including vegetarian and vegan varieties; the veggie herb quiche has just enough spice to keep your mouth interested. You'll also find the Marcus Garvey burger BLT and the Queen Ann Nzingha Club.
