the Unity Cafe in Phoenix, IL

♥

My boyfriend was missing me the 5 days I was in Vegas. When I got back, he suggested we do “something fun” like go rock climbing or play laser tag. He found a climbing gym in Homewood, IL which prompted me to google “vegan restaurants” in that area. I found the Unity Cafe in a nearby suburb. Although the Unity Cafe is located in what one might call a “sketchy” area, we decided to check it out anyway.

We pulled up to a small, unassuming little place and wondered if we should even walk in. Good thing we did! We found this place to be clean, the employees friendly, and the food TASTY!

I’m curious to know how long this place has been in existence, however I did not ask.

These fried onion rings ROCKED MY WORLD. We enjoyed these along with vegan BBQ tips as an appetizer.

Here is the smoked protein and avocado wrap. I’ll order anything with avocado on the menu. LOVE.

Chris ordered the italian protein sandwich. Their seitan was made to perfection! 

the very berry smoothie tasted a lot like sugar.

I definitely think Chris & I will visit the Unity Cafe again (especially if we visit Climb On again!) The food was delicious (almost reminiscent of Soul Vegetarian East.) I look forward to trying their Lentil Tacos next time, and I’d like to visit on a Sunday when they offer a vegan brunch.
