A local Vegan Meetup member, Rachel Z., recently informed us that the new Juice Box Cafe would soon be offering Sunday and Tuesday brunches with vegan options, including vegan waffles. (Add emphatic echo and increased volume to “vegan waffles.”) So, of course, we had to go.
Juice Box colorful interior
The experience was quite pleasant, starting with the brightly-colored walls and various large pictures of fruit, which literally make you feel like you’re inside a giant juice box. (Yeah, I know they’re probably actually white or silver on the inside, but allow your imagination to follow me here.) The staff, including Hillary (chef) and Jenna (juicemaker/server), were incredibly friendly and were genuinely interested in our input on the food. This was especially the case given that we happened to be their very first vegan waffle customers. [Read more →]
Sometimes you just know that you were meant to have something. That happened to me recently when we ran a wilderness 10K on the trails of Grand Island, just off Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula. [Read more →]
I’ve enjoyed cool, delicious vegan ice cream on waffles a few times this summer. Recently, I made some homemade vegan ice cream for a potluck and it turned out particularly well–in terms of both flavor and appearance.
Cashew-based peanut butter fudge vegan ice cream
It’s based upon the cashew-based chocolate ice cream recipe from Jeff Rogers’ Vice Cream: Gourmet Vegan Desserts. Before getting Vice Cream, I never would have considered making ice cream from cashews. Talk about decadent!

On a recent visit to Ithaca, New York, we had the opportunity to visit one of this year’s Global Vegan Waffle Party hosts–the just-opened Waffle Frolic Waffle Bar and Coffee House. We obviously had to eat there, given our recent discovery that a “waffle frolic” was apparently a long-lost predecessor to the modern waffle party that we’ve grown to love so much. Waffles are only one of the items on their menu, and there are several vegan menu options so far.
Here are the remaining fun photos from our 2010 Global Vegan Waffle Party photo contest! I’m looking forward to more fun submissions next year; and if you have any you forgot to submit for this year, feel free to post them to the Facebook page. Keep in mind that although the primary party season is over, no one’s stopping you from having other vegan waffle related events.
Cutest vegan waffle-eating kids
Dallas R. of Minneapolis, MN, US submitted several photos of cute kids eating vegan waffles. Two in particular stood out, with the tiebreaker being that the girls in this picture are actually eating their waffles, while the boy in the runner-up photo appears to favor the watermelon over the waffles (see album). Not that there’s anything wrong with fresh, juicy watermelon! [Read more →]
