#2
Café Más
8.1
A vegan café built for repeat visits: coffee drinks, savory breakfast/lunch plates, and sweets in a bright, mural-forward room. It’s strongest when you treat it like a tight order—one hot item, one pastry, one drink—so you can dial in favorites fast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mushroom taco, Molletes, Mazapán latte
What Makes it Special: A vegan coffee-and-savory café that feels designed for everyday rotation.
8
A newer Ravenswood-area Thai dining room that leans modern and diet-friendly (strong vegetarian/vegan coverage) without losing the core curry-and-noodle comfort. It’s best when you anchor the table with one curry and one stir-fry rice/noodle, then stop before the order gets too broad. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Must-Try Dishes:
Thai basil fried rice, Pad see ew, Crab meat curry with wild betel leaves
What Makes it Special: Modern Thai with strong vegan/veg options and bold curries.
Worthy Picks

Must-Try Dishes:
Falafel wrap, Chicken shawarma plate, Grape leaves with hummus
What Makes it Special: A reliable grab-and-go Mediterranean stop with solid falafel and plate combos.
