Innovative Vegan Food - Edit
I've had Fancy Plants food on two occasions: once at VeganMania and once at a Valentine's Pop-up Dinner at Moonlight Vulture. I was wowed both times.
Read moreI love the inventive use of ingredients they use to create vegan dairy substitutes (almond chevre, cashew creme fraiche, melted nut-based cheeses) as well as unique options such as kelp caviar and braised yuba. It's refreshing to experience vegan food that kicks expectations up a notch. The attention to detail as far as presentation and ingredients go shows the amount of love and devotion - not to mention, talent - that's going into these meals. Every bit of their food is homemade and the outcome truly makes for a wonderful experience.
I hope they one day open up their own restaurant and show the masses what vegan food can really be about.

Finally visited the cafe and it was great! Indulged in a few baked goods, the breakfast sandwich, and a bagel and they were all reasonably priced and tasty. Service was fast and friendly - wish I had a place like this within waking distance to my house!
Pros: constant changing menu, inventive dishes

Awesome vegan café - Edit
I work in the neighborhood so I'm fortunate to be able to stop in Fancy Plants Cafe often. The food and service are great every time. Typically I get a mocha and a bagel + lox (bagel, cashew cream cheese, carrot lox, tomato, onion, cucumber, capers, and greens). If you haven't tried Kevin's carrot lox yet you're missing out! The baked goods are fantastic and there's always something new to try. My omni friends and coworkers have enjoyed many treats from FPC, so there's really something for everyone!

Friendly, tasty, and reasonably priced vegan cafe - Edit
I had a tasty vegan breakfast sandwich with Just Egg and vegan bacon, and I added tomato and red onion. Friendly server and well priced. I was one of only two customers the whole time I was there, so I hope business picks up! It has only been open a little over a week.

Delicious vegan cuisine - Edit
My sister and I had the opportunity to sample a dish from Fancy Plants Catering at Chicago Vegan Mania this year. As long time vegetarian/vegans, we were extremely impressed with the unique combination of delicious flavors. I am considering this catering service for a wedding.
