Friday Faves - Mondragon

My Friday Fave this week is one of our favourite places to grab a bite. Part bookstore, part organic market and part restaurant, Mondragon is the perfect if you like your vegan nibbles served in a coffeehouse setting with a side of anarchy. (And who doesn't?)

The menu is eclectic, casual and completely vegan. They also have organic, fairly-traded coffee, gluten-free items and yummy daily specials. On our last visit, the mascot and I shared a couple slices of vegan pizza (veggie & sausage/onion) and a plate of Southern Fried Tofu, which is actually shake'n'baked tofu triangles served with a creamy-sweet dill dip. Yum! I've also sampled their salads, the veggie burger (which was HUGE and excellent) and more than one of their amazing chocolate chip cookies.

The left-leaning bookstore carries a large selection of vegetarian and animal rights books, magazines and T-shirts. Organic veggies, groceries and pantry items are available in the market. I can never leave without grabbing a bag of organic popping corn and a medjool date (or two).
