So, as those who know me know, I am not a big vegan person. I love my meats, fish, dairy, all of it. However, my husband likes to go on these fasts where he will only eat vegan. Being the doting wife (or maybe it’s because we are still in year one of our marriage), I try to accommodate him and do the same (or at least until we pass an ice cream store). This is how we came to visit Hip Vegan Cafe in Ojai, California.

The other thing people who know me know, I will eat anywhere, anytime, and almost anything so I was game to “get my vegan on” in this artsy cafe that seemed so wonderfully Ojai. I mean a hot topic of conversation during lunch among customers was regarding their compost piles! It was so fantastically hippie-throwback-but-with-all-the-bells-and-whistles-of-today chic you had to smile. The food was good, the service was friendly, and the weather was sunny and clear.

If vegan is your game, check out this spot. You can find out more about them at their website, www.hipvegancafe.com. Enjoy!
