"Naturally, Chickpea and Lotus had to pay a visit to the Lotus Cafe in Encinitas! Encinitas is one of our favorite coastal towns, with its hippy chic style and laid back vibe, it's the perfect place for a day at the beach. And after the fun in the sun, working up an appetite, there's nothing like a visit to Lotus Cafe. Specializing in health and wellness conscious cuisine, the Lotus Cafe offers an extensive vegetarian menu that can easily be veganized. Their offerings are a diverse collection of salads, tacos, burgers, stir fries, bowls and more. Where to begin? We recommend the... Tempeh Tacos two massively loaded tacos, packed with ranchero tempeh, melted vegan cheese and shredded lettuce. Served with salsa and blue corn tortilla chips These are dense with flavor, the tempeh is meaty and satisfying and the melty cheese brings it all together. Falafel Bowl mixed greens topped with falafel, hummus and quinoa. So packed with protein and topped with a tahini ginger sauce, this is stick to your ribs, comfort health food. Spiritual Salad A hearty spinach salad with artichoke hearts, olives, vegan cheese shreds and vegan bacon bits that really give it its signature smoky flavor."
