Cafe Kindred

Besides oatmeal, and an overpriced avocado toast you can order with no egg/no protein, there’s nothing for vegans/plant-based eaters here. To the owners: I wish you put in a little effort to be more inclusive, especially in a place situated in the greater DC metro area. You can offer the option of serving the avocado toast with black beans on top. It’s so cheap and low-effort to use a batch of canned black beans with lemon, olive oil, and light seasoning and adding it on toast. You can easily offer egg and dairy-free pancakes (there are so many recipes online now, some even made with oat flour, which would also make it gluten-free as well). A vegan BLT made with tempeh-bacon or tofu-bacon is probably too much to ask for, but would also be great, some day in the future when more cafe-owners catch up with the endless amounts of easy and low-cost (and protein-filled) plant-based recipes there are out there. I hope you will think of your potential plant-based clients and provide options for them in the future.

The cafe offers a variety of menu items, including popular dishes like the Breakfast Sandwich, Eggs Benedict, and Biscuits and Gravy. Customers particularly enjoy the welcoming vibe, with many praising the friendly staff and the quality of both the food and coffee. They also offer gluten-free options and are known for their locally roasted coffee and creative sandwiches
