After a super fun night of drinking and laughing until our tummies hurt, Zach, Veronica, and I felt well enough to leave V's apartment at 3pm for nourishment. We decided to go down the block to that vegan mini mall everyone's always talking about, and chow down at Sweetpea.
Leapin' lizards, did we all have a massive craving for bagels! I was really interested in their chive and bacun cream cheese... but they were out of bagels. And soup. So disappointing! We satisfied ourselves with two BLTs and an unTuna sandwich. I liked both, but they need to put more tuna on the tuna, and more bacon on the BLT! It felt a little cheep. Veronica said it was fine for her. Maybe hers had more? I don't know. The bacon was really good; Zach said it didn't taste that much like bacon, but it was nice and salty and rich, so he still liked it, and so did I. However, he didn't like the unTuna. I did. It had a good flavor, but I like my tuna with lots of veganiase, and this was really lightly veganiased. It's a chickpea based tuna (which I had been craving for a while) mixed with herbs and chopped celery.
They offer lots of fun hot drinks, including a variety of teas, two types of bottomless coffees which vary each day, hot chocolate, and a bunch of coffee drinks that I don't understand because I'm not much of a coffee drinker. Next time, however, I'll have to try one, because why not?!
We ordered some treats, too. The oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookie was a bit dry, but Zach gobbled it up anyway, so I guess he was down with its flavor. The snickerdoodle was definitely good, especially if you like that typical bakery cookie flavor from your childhood (or is it just mine?), although it could use a bit more cinnamon and sugar... it tastes to me like the cookie baby of a sugar cookie and snickerdoodle who fell in love and wanted to start a family. The brownie ain't bad either. I like fudgy brownies, and theirs is more cakelike, and while I despise baked goods that aren't very moist, the flavor totally makes up for it with all of its rich chocolatey goodness.
I would definitely go back, but I don't know that I'd order a sandwich again, just because they didn't put enough of the good stuff on it. I will certainly try a bagel and a fancy pants coffee drink, perhaps a donut on a Saturday or their brunch on a Sunday, and probably another brownie.
