I have a bit of a backlog on posting as I’ve been away for the holidays, so here’s a quick breakfast post I meant to do a while ago. There’s a great brunch place called the Black River Cafe about an hour from Cleveland that offers an array of vegan options: pancakes, sandwiches, and a bunch of sides.

Pictured here is my delicious breakfast of a raspberry pancake and tempeh bacon (a Vegan With a Vengeance recipe, I suspect). Not pictured: the best home fries ever. Black River also has chocolate chip pancakes not to be sneezed at. Their only flaw (from a vegan’s perspective, anyway) is soymilk that tastes kind of funny in coffee. Bring your own and enjoy a perfect late morning.
