Vegan grilled cheese!

Was so excited to find a vegan grilled cheese. It was really tasty and I was so happy to be able to join the non vegans at the table with a classic grilled cheese.

Pros: Good range of vegan options!, Tasty food

Cons: Serves lots of meat and dairy

A cauliflower paradise

Menu has several good vegan offerings, though many were just variations of the same cauliflower thing that’s trending right now. Tofu banh mi was really good.

Pros: Flavorful cuisine, Vegan stuff clearly labeled , Friendly staff

Cons: Repetative cauliflower, Strong seafood smell from raw bar, Old Bay seasoning absent from fries

Don’t let my two ⭐️ ⭐️ discourage you. It is worth trying for a quick snack

Location ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Service ⭐️
Atmosphere ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Vegan Options ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Food Quality ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Vegan items clearly noted on menus ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Since the highest rating a non-vegan restaurant can achieve on Happy cow is ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ my rating for this one is a two.

Vegan Grilled Cheese: A delightful combo of Iggys country sourdough, vegan cheddar, provolone, fried onion, chives, and everything seasoning. Although this just used standard Chaio bought cheese it was definitely good and our favorite.

Chickpea Tacos: A surprise find—flavorful and satisfying.

Service Notes:
Staff initially unsure about vegan items, but the cook clarified.
Empty water stations—could use improvement.

Ambiance:
Back patio with beach view—perfect for a relaxing meal.
Overall,

The Canteen is a great spot for a vegan snack. 🌊🌱

Pros: Great patio on beach , Vegan Items noted on website, Nice for as snack not a meal

Cons: Service, ok not great , Not all items are marked vegan on menu

Open during the off season!

I had such a great seasonal winter grain bowl with one of their cauliflower fritters. It was nourishing, filling, and flavorful! I appreciate how much effort they went into to give a flavorful and nutritious option besides some of their more comfort food-type stuff (which undoubtedly is also nice to see). I spotted a grilled cheese option, a sandwich with the same cauliflower fritters, a few vegan sides and appetizers (kimchi, veggies), and a beyond burger. Service was friendly and prompt. Huge plus that they’re open during the off season!

Yummilicious Cauliflower fritter sandwich

Went during winter season and they had great vegan options. Even on holidays like Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day they have a vegan option on their special menus!
Would 100% recommendation!

Decadent V Breakfast and more.

If your vegan make sure you come here for Brunch and cauliflower. It’s decadent and so worth it.

Probably the best vegan options in town

Check out The Canteen. A handful of choices for vegans. Ptown doesn't seem to have many options, so had to check out Canteen after viewing their menu online. Was pleasantly surprised.

Best Meal we had in PTown

The Tofu Bahn Mi, Cauliflower Fritters, and drinks were wonderful. After repeated vegan burgers all vacation, this was a breath of fresh air. The food was genuinely good and we almost missed out on the fritters, but are so glad we had them!

Pros: Good Options, Friendly Staff, Labeled Vegan Menu

Cons: No Vegan Desserts

OK, glad to have choices, nothing special

I got the tofu Ban mi. I was expecting something interesting. But it was just a so-so baguette with a few veggies and marinated tofu and some kind of oily orange sauce. The tofu was flavorful and I ate that.

I also got the chickpea tacos The chickpeas were flavored in a reasonable way nothing remarkable, but OK. The taco part was just soggy, so I just ate the chickpeas

I was glad to have choices and they weren’t terrible, but I won’t be going back

Pros: Several vegan choices, Reasonable prices, Nice outdoor seating

Cons: The food was OK but nothing to go back for

I had the summer wedge and split the vegan tofu bahn mi with hubby. My veggie daughter had (and loved) the caprese sandwich. We sat outside on the beach. Fun environment. Highly recommend.

Pros: Atmosphere , Proximity to fun Commercial Street activities , Excellent fresh food

YES

Excellent food and more options than anywhere else I’ve found on The Cape! Full of flavor and fully executed meals with generous portions and good quality ingredients. Got the chickpea tacos, Tofu Bahn Mo & Cauliflower Sandwich. The tofu was not cooked so the texture was different than expected but overall tasted very good. Gluten free options also a plus

Pros: Easy to read menu , Fast service, Gluten free options

Great Food/Vibe

I am editing this review a year later after eating here 3 times in a week. Multiple few vegan options--all delicious. Had the sweet & spicy chickpea tacos, vegan grilled cheese, Tofu banh mi, and cauliflower fritters. They have the fritters as an app or a sandwich; sooo good. Favorite place to eat in P-town.

Absolutely amazing vegan options

The cauliflower fritters are amazingly spiced on a delicious pita bread, with fries that can’t be beat.

It was okay

I’ve been to this place before and it used to be better. I really like that they have plenty of vegan options. But the chickpea tacos were a bit bitter, the falafel sandwich came with super dry falafel, and the vegan cake had some mold on it. They gave us a new piece though. Not terrible, but not super satisfactory. Their gazpacho was pretty good to be fair, tasted pretty authentic!

Delish and friendly

Everything vegan was clearly marked on the menu, and there was too much for me to try at once. The cauliflower schwarma was so tasty, and the cauliflower fritters filling and satisfying. The prices were so reasonable for P-Town. I’ll be back to try the vegan pot pie! The vegan cage was decadent. The place is very casual with counter ordering.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Delicious vegan choices, Many vegan sides and baked goodies

Cons: Brussels sprouts have fish sauce

Delightful vibe, beachside seating

Very friendly staff, about four vegan menu items, all of which were tasty. Great vacation vibe for the seating, which varied from couches to stools to booths. Crowded, but food comes out fast. I really liked the energy. My son and I thought everything was delicious, my husband thought there was too much sauce on most of the items. We liked the tofu banh mi and the cauliflower fritters. The chocolate orange cake had a terrific texture. French fries were mediocre.

Pros: Friendly, fast , Beach views, fun seating , Creative options

Cons: Heavy

A few options for vegans

Been here two years in a row. Last year they had gazpacho on the menu. Not this year. They still had the vegan grilled cheese on the menu, but last year the cheese wasn't good, So I didn't try it again. This year we ate the cauliflower fritters and the tofu banh mi. DELICIOUS. Love the outdoor seating. If I drank alcohol I would have gotten a frozé at their bar!

Updated from previous review on 2021-08-13

Pros: Various vegan options... It's nice to have choice!, One of the more affordable options in town, Outdoor seating on the beach
