Surprisingly, there are several vegan options now at Hard Times Cafe. Find out what they are…
Hard Times Cafe is already known in the vegan community for their stellar homemade vegan chili made with soy protein. However, surprisingly there is one other option. You can also try their veggie burger and remember to hold the cheese.
Then there is also one particular Hard Times Cafe location that I’d like to shine the spot light on. The Twin Cities Hard Times Cafe in Minneapolis, Minnesota is a cooperatively owned staple of Minneapolis.
