Globe Cafe And Bakery

The Globe is being sold/closing.

This makes me more sad than just about anything else closing. The food here and atmosphere was unmatched anywhere.

As a meat and potatoes man, I’m half the vegetarian a lot of people are. So, despite hearing good things about the place, I’d never visited the Globe until this week. Patchouli was not wafting through the rafters. Bean curd was not oozing from the floor. Noodley Jam bands were not blaring from a boombox. The Globe was a pleasant surprise in every way, most especially the food. I enjoyed a filling and delicious meal and earned a newfound respect for the digestive qualities of abrasive, experimental, not-even-vaguely-hippie music.

Especially with lots of spices and vegetables, salsa, guacamole, and crusty homemade whole wheat bread.

But grits aren’t as good without cheese…

I suggest the TLT sandwich (tempeh, lettuce, tomato). It comes with a cup of soup. It’s delicious.

I know, I know … I’m supposed to hate on this place because it’s all Vegan and sometimes they ignore you when it’s time to take your order. But today I had a well-rounded experience where the folks took my order (no kidding!) and the cook, I have to say, knocked it out of the park. Good stuff.

I like the insides of this joint. The music is almost always louder and more obtuse than 5 alarm vegan hot wings. Go Globe!

The food was delicious and all vegan. They were playing Belle and Sebastian loudly…I instantly fell in love.
