No Green Eggs. No Ham.




A couple of local guys are showing a city that loves its meat that the almighty vegetable deserves some serious courting.  San Antonio's Green Cuisine is the city's first 100% vegetarian cafe and it's a yummy spot I wish existed closer to home.

Recently relocated to historic Pearl Brewery, Green boasts an open, airy space that is also eco friendly --- see that?  Green as in veggies and the environment.  While striving to carve out as small a footprint as possible, the cafe also hopes to be a part of San Antonio's transition from one of the fattest cities to one of the fittest.

On the patio on a gorgeous sunny morning I got my breakfast on and wish I could've gone back for lunch and dinner.  Everything on the menu sounds amazing and everyone was super friendly and lovely.  I settled on the Tofu Scrambler and housed it like it was my job.  De. Lish.

If you're staying downtown near the River Walk the stroll to Green leaves much to be desired, but the visit is well worth it. I'm sure the Pearl Brewery area will soon be "the new hip place", but as I walked I felt like at any moment I could become a part of an opening scene for a Law & Order episode.  
Can't you hear the Law & Order gavel sound?

Be Advised: Opens nice and early at 7am if you want to check out breakfast.  If you plan to lace up your sneaks to head over you may want to bring a buddy. Unless you can run really fast.
