The Blue Palmetto Cafe
Vegan Dining at Bok Tower Gardens: Two Must-Try Plant-Based Dishes
Nestled in the serene beauty of Bok Tower Gardens, the café offers a delightful surprise for plant-based eaters. With two standout vegan menu items, your next visit can include not only stunning views but also satisfying, wholesome eats. Here’s what you’ll want to try:
🥪 Vegan Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This sandwich is a perfect option for a hearty and filling meal. Served on toasted panini bread, it features a creamy chickpea salad made with celery, red onion, mustard, vegan mayo, and a flavorful mix of seasonings. Crisp lettuce and juicy tomato round out the sandwich, giving it a fresh, delicious crunch in every bite.
🥗 Vegan Cobb Salad
For something lighter but equally satisfying, the Vegan Cobb Salad is a fresh and colorful choice. Made with artisan mixed greens, protein-packed chickpeas, crunchy cucumbers, tangy pickled carrots, heirloom cherry tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, creamy avocado, and topped with a zinfandel vinaigrette, this salad is a vibrant and refreshing option for any time of day. ***This did used to come with coconut bacon so its disappointing to see that removed**
They also have avocado toast not labeled as vegan, but could possibly be vegan.
