It cracks me up - Chaco Canyon, Kokopelli imagery, etc with all the veggie types. Although it's a bit controversial, there is some evidence of cannibalism down there in the ol' ancient southwest. I doubt if we'll see that on the menu at the Chaco Canyon Cafe. Don't co-opt without doing your homework!

No mention of the fact that you need to have a good hour scheduled to go there just for coffee, since everything takes so long. The workers there move like organic rice syrup on a cold day. It's like they think that everyone has all the time in the world, and that hurrying or moving fast would disturb the vibe of the place. It could also be that none of these people have worked in coffee shops or restaurants before, which would explain everything tasting like it does when one makes it at home.

Actually, cannibalism is my first association with "Chaco Canyon" too. But it occurs to me that if you're eating "long pig" you're not eating what most people (or at least veggies?) consider "animals," so maybe it can still qualify as vegan fare? It's not going to be organic, but arguably you are at least helping the planet.

Next up: the Soylent Green Bistro. With weekend Donner Parties. (All you can eat!)

regardless of historical inaccuracies and easy, not overthought menu....

I am sold on the place by the anti-hyper vibe, etc.

Actually, sold by the name. Back during the infamous 'harmonic convergence' of 1987 I spent at Chaco Canyon. Well, near, wanted to avoid crowds... Chaco Canyon got the spiritual hype for that one. Me and g-friend opted for a mesa at Hopiland...

Anyway, sold on the name, sounds worthy of checking out. the vibe sounds preferred...

they've had a banana, basil, blueberry smoothie that was excellent... other foods have been pleasant.

Here's hoping that this review will spur them out of their vegan torpor a bit and motivate them to up-level their creativity and attention to taste and aesthetics.

Ravenna - if you get there at 6:01 am, your coffee comes up likely-split. Not too shabby, either.

this place as great raw food and juices. i recommend the raw porridge and granny's garden. i dont think u can call out the restaraunt on its vegan options...if you dont want to eat meat, then dont. why try to substitute?
