The Red & Black Cafe is a collectively managed, worker-owned cooperative that is also a 100% vegan restaurant. We serve organic, fair trade coffee and teas, local beer and use locally sourced organic ingredients whenever possible. Probably most famous for our Black Dragon Noodles, we also serve an array of sandwiches, salads, soup and chili and have an assortment of wheat-free and soy-free options. In addition to serving food and drink, we also use our space to act in solidarity with social and political movements that reflect our values. This can range from animal rights events to benefits for worker rights organizations, and from radical music shows to queer movie night. Beyond that, we compost, ride bikes to work, pick up supplies with our trusty bike trailer, and we just decided to be a closed union shop and all join the IWW! Stop in at 400 SE 12th Ave. We're conveniently located on the other side of the block from the vegan mini mall. www.redandblackcafe.com

Sweet Lemon is inspired by our spiritual teacher, Supreme Master Ching Hai, who advocates a compassionate way of living. One important aspect of this concept is a vegan diet. We offer a fusion cuisine with creative, healthy and delicious dishes from Asia and America. Some of our dishes are entirely unique and only found at Sweet Lemon. Our intention is to bring a positive and uplifting dining experience to our customers. We hope our humble effort will inspire you to lead a healthy and happy life. www.sweetlemonveggiebistro.com
