Vegan Breakfast (Tofu Scramble and VBLT) at Terra Cafe in Monroe, CT

This local cafe has something for everyone– including a wide selection of vegan and gluten-free options. My favorite breakfast options are their Vegan BLT (House-made tempeh bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cashew mayo on a multigrain roll), the Scrambled Tofu Wrap (Seasoned scrambled tofu, house-made hummus, onions, peppers, black beans, spinach, tomato in a whole wheat wrap), or the Oatmeal (with fresh fruit, granola, and peanut butter). Everything is delicious, flavorful, and rich in much-needed protein to start your day (or keep it going). One of these options alone would serve as a proper breakfast.

Because I couldn’t resist as it is one of my favorite desserts here, I also got a slice of the Olive Oil Cake (which has an amazing pistachio topping).

These just celebrated their 5th anniversary! I am so happy to see them thriving.
