    Come with me for a quick lunch date checking out a local vegetarian restaurant! my friends are on the January healthy diet journey, so I invited my friend to check out @blindfaithcafe with me! We ordered the Burrito Ranchero, tacos al pastor and Chik'n nuggets. I enjoyed our choices more than I thought I would! For those that really love the meat taste and want to ease into eating more vegetarian dishes, they offer meat alternatives like seitan and gardein in many of the dishes. I was really tempted to get this pot pie on the menu! so I may going back soon! and if you're like me and have a sweet tooth... the entrance dessert counter was flirting with me hard! But I held my ground! I am sure on a cheat day in January or.. you know in February when my friends are done with Dry January we'll head over there! overall is was a really nice lunch, great staff and many options to consider! #chicagohummingbirds #newbird #partnership #chicago #evanston #blindfaithcafe #healthyeating #januaryresolutions #newyearresolution #tryingnewthings #eatinghealthier #vegetarian @hummingbirdshq @chicagohummingbirds @blindfaithcafe

    Great service , many choices in this vegetarian restaurant. However their four asian entrees are all with "Spicy" sauce. Has been this way for years. Love the BBQ seitan sandwich.
