You know what goes best with coffee and a vegan pastry? A homey and cozy
atmosphere and all-around good vibes. Sweetleaf Coffee Roasters accomplishes
it all with their dim lights, plush antique couch, wooden chairs and, most
importantly, their tasty vegan treats and bold brews. I stopped by Sweetleaf after
visiting Gantry State Park, grabbing a nutty iced soy latte and some of their
vegan chocolate brownie bites. They were nice and chewy and made for a great
snack to snag for the road. Their vegan pastry options tend to change daily, but
their brownie bites are definitely their most popular sweet treat.

There’s nothing like leisurely waking up on a Saturday and taking a
stroll to Go Natural Health Foods, where you can pick up a strawberry
banana smoothie with wheatgrass and shop for organic and vegan
goods. Aside from their variety of protein shakes and fresh juices, they
stock up on quick and easy premade vegan meals such as black bean
burgers, sun-dried tomato dumplings and couscous and quinoa salads.
It’s a terrific way to indulge in a decent meal without cooking. However,
if you are in the mood to whip up steamed broccoli or food prep berry
overnight oats, all of their produce is local and organic.
