of course, i had to try both and these things did not disappoint.

flourish burger: our house-made southwest style veggie burger. slightly spicy, completely delicious! lettuce, tomato and a creamy "cheesy" sauce on a multi-grain bun. $9.75

first up, the flourish burger. it’s my belief that any restaurant worth its salt should offer a vegan burger. thankfully, now cafe flourish does… and it’s a damn good one. it’s thick and hearty, with a zesty homemade patty that’s packed with vegetables and covered in rich creamy vegan cheese. it’s pretty spicy and really flavorful, and with a side salad of your choice, it’s a good deal for under ten bucks.

next up is the cheese louise, cafe flourish’s take on a classic grilled cheese sandwich. this has been a special on flourish’s menu for awhile, but now it looks like it has earned a permanent spot.

cheese louise: our stuffed grilled cheese. incredibly melty and delicious daiya cheese, caramelized onions and guacamole on french white bread grilled to perfection. $9

this thing is stuffed with cheddar and italian daiya (the best vegan cheese ever), as well as caramelized onions and guacamole. i’ve never had guacamole in a grilled cheese sandwich, but wow, brilliant! the two flavors of daiya mixed with sweet onions and creamy avocado was definitely a winning combo. it comes with a side salad, and i got the quinoa which is incredible. i really loved this sandwich, but my only complaint is that $9 is a lot to pay for a grilled cheese. oh well.

so head over to cafe flourish and check out their new menu items ASAP. i love this restaurant more and more every time i go. yum time.
