This post is ridiculous. I'm the owner-operator of Earth Friends Cafe, I am Vegan, and I can promise you this cafe is very conscious of catering to Vegans. We use Earth Balance butter across the board on everything, Veganaise for mayo, our soups are 100% Vegan. There are non-Vegan items at the cafe, including chicken sourced from a local farm in Kentucky and milk from an Indiana farm, however, we offer almond milk, soymilk and coconut milk options. We have "power" smoothies which use organic fruit. We do stock sugar laden fruit smoothies that are bought already mix - as all coffee shops do - and not healthy, but people want them, so we sell them. We don't pretend they are healthy. We are obviously not McDonald's due the fact that we source all of our meats, cheeses (Organic Valley) and milk from animals that have had lives in the outdoors. The staff member who waited on this person was confused by the fact that she was in fact Vegan due to comments made and previous orders. This particular person had been ordering caramel sauce - commonly known to contain milk - with almond milk for a latte. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON for patrons to be order alternate milks and not be vegan. We have all kinds of people who come in with food sensitivities that are not vegan, but do not eat dairy. It can become very confusing. However, due to this unfortunate incident, we are designing a separate clean menu specifically for Vegans, and when any questions are asked to trigger someone may be Vegan - we will outright ask if the person is Vegan. We are a peaceful place that is big on good service, morals with food, and respecting one's dietary choices.
