Does vegan brunch exist?

[jessabella617]

So I have a dear friend who has been dating a vegan for a year and is mourning the loss of Sunday Brunch. They have enjoyed many Thai, Middle Eastern restaurants but is craving delicious sweet brunch items like french toast, waffles, etc without each getting takeout and doing a picnic. So I am looking for restaurants to suggest that will please both a vegan and a vegetarian brunch sweets addict.

I 2nd the recommendation of Dot2Dot Cafe. Also, Peace o’ Pie in Allston does a Sunday Brunch buffet. Offerings vary from week to week.
If your friend is interested in group outings, there is a Vegan Brunch Group on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid...

A new vegan restaurant is about to open in Teele Square in Somerville, on the corner of Broadway and Curtis. Don't know anything more.

Yes, True Bistro in Teele across from Rudy's serves vegan brunch:

Their menu says that they have crepes so it might work for you. Haven't done brunch there but have definitely enjoyed the 3 times I ate dinner there.

Do tell - what did you have for dinner?

Crusted tempeh with lentils and heirloom carrots. Green Curry with tofu. Whatever I had the first time is no longer on the menu. The wilted spinach salad was not only good but pretty massive (perfect for sharing). Coconut cream pie with blood orange sauce. And the Lammsbrau Organic Dunkelweiss beer that I had the second time was notable.

Thanks for the info.

Loved the Oyster Mushroom Tacos the time I went.

Had brunch there today. I had the crimini mushroom scramble and mesclun salad, with home fries. My husband had the burger and fries. We'll definitely go again.

Have been to True Bistro for brunch twice recently and it is really a nice addition to the dining scene for anyone, not just vegans. The space is open and bright, the service was very polite, with an air of sophistication and quiet professionalism, and the food was really great. The seitan sausages are a must. I had the waffle with hazelnuts and poached pears the first time and the Tofu Benedict the second. The waffle was a fairly generous size, about the size of your average salad plate, and the poached pears enhanced it nicely. It comes with syrup already added so you have to ask if you want more. The tofu was well prepared and came with spinach, a biscuit, Alfredo sauce and home fries. It was a much more generous portion than the waffle. Also had a small bottle of Prosecco which was decent. Highly recommended for a vegan brunch.

I have been here twice for brunch, and it was really really good. I had the tofu benedict both times because it was so good. My mom, who is rather vegan-food-opposed, loved the biscuit that came with it even though there was no butter. They have crepes and waffles, tofu scrambles (also really good), a few baked goods and more lunchy foods.

I also really like the brunch at Red Lentil. They can make all their egg dishes with tofu or eggs, and their pancakes are amazing.

You can also try The Friendly Toast in Kendall Square. And take a quick trip to Providence to try The Garden Grill or Julian's. Amazing choices for vegans and non-vegans.

On the PVD note, Rasoi does vegan Indian brunch every Saturday. It's pretty stellar.

That is right- a very nice vegan brunch and right next to Garden Grill, too.

Scups on the harbor in East Boston near Maverick Station is another fav. Take a stroll through Piers Park & enjoy the large, outdoor sculpture pieces on your way to Scups. # of veggie options for you.

Veggie Planet in Harvard square is not 100% vegan, but has many vegan dishes. Brunch is only on Sunday (I think), and is pretty delicious.

Brunch every day at Dot2Dot Cafe in Dorchester, a little indie place I really liked, with solid vegan and vegetarian options, including house-baked bread and pastries. My review of it is in The Phoenix this week.

Second this heartily. Vegan or not, it's way better than standing in line at the Town Diner across the street. Just so long as you are not married to real bacon for breakfast.
