I've been vegan for 18 years, and I had never been to VegFest-until now. I'm so glad I went. It was like vegan heaven with heavenly vegan food and goodies as well as wonderful people!

I got a little plush cat that resembles my cat Cleo!

 

VegFest offers a great way to learn about vegan products and restaurants. It is an amazing festival that spotlights and supports small, local, and new businesses. I'm excited for the next VegFest adventure!

This is one the of the best, most affordable vegan restaurants that I know and love. If you are looking for a healthier restaurant or a vegan restaurant, this is the one you should definitely consider. The Loving Hut is an international vegan restaurant chain that provides a delicious fusion of American and Asian cuisine!

There are only two locations in Georgia. The one I make the most trips to is in Norcross-Peachtree Corners since each location has a different menu and pricing. They have amazing food of Asian and American fusion, and also offer buffets every month. If you don't live in Atlanta or the US, you can still see where the closest location is to you here. I say this because I long for the expansion and success of vegan establishments along with the increase of more people becoming open to veganism and vegan options!


First off
The BEST VEGAN BURGER
When I make the drive to get this burger, I don't just order one.. I stock-up for later.
If you think a vegan burger can't taste good, you need to try this!

The Buffets

August 2016 - Vegan hawaiian pizza, amazing lentil soup, spaghetti, and the softest vegan Cake I ever had!

I wanted to take so much with me that I stuffed it in a cup

This is also the only place where I can find Sjaak's vegan chocolates and my absolute favorite vegan cookie company Alternative Baking Company. The chocolate chip/chunk and lemon poppyseed are my favorites.

Alternative Baking Company. Best vegan cookies. Tastes like lightly baked choco chip cookie dough #altbakingco #vegancookies

I hope this was helpful in finding another vegan restaurant and providing some insight on more vegan foods, snack products, and dessert options!

I know I cannot wait for my next trip to the Loving Hut!

The plan was to go to Go Vegetarian Restaurant (now Go Vegan Grill) for vegan breakfast and stop by Revolution Doughnuts for vegan dough-nos, but that isn't and isn't all that happened on my last free Saturday (before the start of 6-hour-film-class-Saturdays).

My day trip in Atlanta/Decatur was spent having a vegan breakfast paradise, spontaneous antique shopping (with wine), and a fancy, free wine tasting. So adult. Before that was taking in videos and pictures of the snow as well as the cats!*


Vegan Breakfast Paradise at Go Vegetarian Restaurant
From their breakfast menu:

The pancake platter came with two vegan sausage patties and a tofu scramble.



I got the biscuit with gravy as a side.



Vegan Power Omelette



Vegan Breakfast Sandwich - Tofu scramble (like egg), sausage, and vegan cheese



Morning French Toast with Powdered Sugar





Decatur Estates & Wayback Antiques 
Actual antiques. Great Finds and prices.

No pictures of the fancy, free wine tasting. But there is this bottle and wine in that glass:
