Cashew Plant Based Vegan Cafe has done it again. They never let me down. Each meal I've had there has been well above satisfactory. During my latest visit, I ordered the Meatball Sub with a side of chili and chips. Take a look at this!
The meatballs were made with walnuts, mushrooms, and quinoa. They're mild and soft with an almost-meaty appearance and texture. This had the essence of meat balls, but it was not meaty enough to send me into a panic. I don't like my vegan "meat" to be too close to the real thing, and this was real enough. The marinara sauce was a classic, well seasoned tomato marinara. On top of that was the heavenly cashew cheese! I've said it before. The cashew cheese at Cashew is amazing! And it was a very good addition to this meatball sub. The chili was excellent with a generous amount of onions. I used it as a dip for the chips.
While this meal was excellent, I would have liked the sub even more if it had a wider variety of textures. The whole sub was made of soft ingredients. I believe a toasted bun would be a nice improvement to give it some crunch. But trust me, the soft texture will not keep me from ordering this again. It was really good!
During this visit, the cafe was mostly peaceful with groovy music playing at a reasonable sound level. The dining area was clean. The service was fast and professional. I will return soon!
