Black Leaf Vegan Cafe

I ordered the vegan crab cake and it was so delicious. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her. I love that I can find a place that is not only vegan but also has gluten-free options. I felt safe eating there with my wheat, soy and dairy food allergies.

My experience here was overall ok. Parking: you need to pay for parking at one of the meters. Wish there were designated places for their establishment but that can’t be helped. Wait: There is a wait time but it was not as bad as I read in other reviews, however I was there for lunch time. Overall is wasn’t too bad. Food: I was disappointed that the item I saw online was not on their menu when I got there. I ended getting the Guac Burger and a strawberry lemonade. I’m not from Indy but when I spend about $20 for a meal for lunch, I typically expect more food. It could be the norm though. I was disappointed that nothing else came with the meal (like fries/chips). Anyway the burger was good. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was alright. It felt like a chill spot for college students and the building is shared with a leasing office. They also have a section where you can plug up your laptops and do work. Update: After reading the owner's response and seeing that the food is soy free and gluten free, I have adjusted my review. I was not aware of that as most vegan places have soy in their food and though I don't think soy is bad, I believe in the concept of moderation and variety.
