Let’s start with this: Goodbye frapp, hello ice… Soy Coffee Frappucino: The Flashback Long ago… Is this a dream? Starbucks has really had their eye on the vegan market this past year. This winter, they added Lucky’s Cookies into the majority of the national shops. This May, it’s been the dawn of the soy frappucino [...]

Photo Essay: boston. vegan. vacation. go.
Just what got checked off the Vegan To-Do List from my Return to Boston post… See tall buildings? check! As for food, let’s start with the No Name. If there was a flag representing Vegan Boston, this would be on it. The very first gluten/fake meaty anything I could stomach! (and now require at least [...]
oh, rejoice! The Portland Farmers Market is back!
It was undeniably the place to be in Portland this past weekend. and thanks to the press releases (who doesn’t read press releases about their local farmers markets?), I knew it was going to be bigger & better than ever – doubling in size in the PSU Park Blocks. I was literally sitting at my [...]
Three Days in Seattle, Vegan Style
I had a string of poor luck with meal choices on my East Coast vacation, and I must say that 3 days of vegan meals in Seattle kinda kicked the butt of my week of vegan consumption in Boston and NYC. With some exceptions, of course. I really do believe that food tastes better in [...]

An Examination of Seattle Soy Lattes

The most memorable was from [...]

A Second Examination of Portland Soy Lattes
From Stumptown at the Ace Hotel. Just a tour of the lattes of my life in the past few months… Soy latte from Coffee Plant, downtown. So reliably good. This is from Cacao at the Heathman. This chocolate shop’s espresso is from Caffe Vita in Seattle. I ridiculously feel guilty because theyir beans are from [...]
