Candle 79: We visited this vegan restaurant (recipient of 1 star from Bruni) last week. I very much enjoyed my seitan with butternut squash and pomegranate seeds, while our shared dessert of key lime pie was quite good (the crust held together without butter somehow grew on us, as did the various incarnations of cashew milk/cream). Above all, it is an extremely comfortable restaurant, and I would return.
Sweet Leaf Coffee: I visited this new coffee shop on a tip that they brew the apparently iconic Stumptown Coffee. The coffee was good, the people friendly, and my apple pie comforting (though I do not believe they make it themselves, despite what the signage in the store says about baking on premises. I could be wrong). I brought home some ethiopian wondo at the same price as on Stumptown's website, which is quite generous of Sweet Leaf. They're clearly still working out kinks, though, because I overheard someone who seemed to be in charge explaining things to people who weren't in charge, and also I got the last dregs of drip coffee from the pot (which I should have said something about). The main downside? The store is *very* small. Not really the kind of place people can snuggle up for a while.
