new menu items at cafe flourish!
7November 19th, 2009cafe flourish (closed), LA restaurantscafe flourish, an awesome little vegan restaurant in the miracle mile district of los angeles, has recently added some new stuff to their sandwiches menu. now in addition to their reuben (one of LA’s best), BLTA, and soy hot dogs, they also have a vegan burger and grilled cheese!
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.

This is hands-down my FAVE vegan restaurant (for fine dining it’s ELF in Echo Park). I’m just waiting for them to introduce breakfast and bring back the french dip. I also buy their spicy vegannaise to make sandwiches at home. Can’t say enough positive things about this cafe. Try the burrito and BLT & A – OMG yummy.

I’m beginning to think I should have visited LA instead of Portland…it’s on the list.

I’m keeling over with jealousy and desire. That is some seriously amazing looking food. You L.A’ers have no idea how good you have it when it comes to vegan eateries, and this is coming from someone from a pretty darn progressive city (Vancouver, BC). I really wish I could get that burger from my computer screen onto a plate. So close, yet so far…

that burger looks delicious! the cheese louise IS pretty tasty but needs to be a couple bucks cheaper. i got mine and it was so flattened from the panini press it was kind of a let down. tasted good, though!

I recently had the Cheese Louise…disappointed. It was only one kind of cheese, and not much of it. The caramelized onions were virtually nonexistent.
