I technically live in NJ now, right across the river, but still work in Philly and lived there for 8 years prior to my jump over to NJ!<br /><br />OK, so Vedge, the owner/chefs are the same as from Horizons, don't know if you guys went there or not. I've heard good things about Vedge, but the ordering, little plates, etc. is annoying according to my good friend who has gone several times. Also, don't get the seitan (my friend said it was dry! Imagine that!)But the desserts were all amazing (again, according to her).<br /><br />Sweet Freedom Bakery, sorry, I do not recommend it at all, and I REALLY wanted to love it! :-( I was shocked at how bad it was, actually. The treats, particularly the cupcakes were dry, flavorless, chalky. Even the icings weren't good! But I only went there once (and had a notably bad experience) so I don't plan to try it again, but keep us posted if you get there! <br /><br />BUT, conveniently, Sweet Freedom is RIGHT near Govinda's, around the corner, actually, and it is GREAT for Vegan Chicken Cheese Steaks. The ambiance isn't that great, though, it's just a sandwich shop, really. You MUST get the Vegan "Chicken" Cheese Steak with their HOUSE MADE VEGAN CHEESE, it's great. I get it on a wrap (spinach, usually). Some of their desserts look amazing (all house made and vegan, I believe).<br /><br />Also, try Singapore, a vegan, Kosher place in Chinatown. EVERYTHING on the menu is vegan, it's a blast. Everything I've tried has been good, but they have the BEST seitan "wings" ever, house made, and fantastic. However, a lot of their stuff is deep fried, and the menu doesn't say. Just ask. Oh, hey! I blogged about it last year during MoFo!

The good news is that Sweet Freedom Bakery is all gluten free! :) I'm going to check our Jarbar too, thanks for the suggestion!

(did i post enough exclamation points for you?)<br /><br />i haven't been to vedge yet, but am interested in trying it. although, the whole small plate/big plate scares me. i have a big appetite. i've sat in blackbird, but couldn't eat anything because they have no gf options.<br /><br />i've been eager to try out a new raw cafe that just opened up called the jarbar. everything looks delish!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198075584318085618noreply@blogger.com
