the food was quite yummy, and my only complaint would be with the quantity and price. my partner got the $8 burrito, which was a lot of food and could easily be shared; definitely the best value on the menu from what we experienced. the cashew sour cream is also sooo good. my collard wrap came with the sour cream and that was probably the best part about the dish. for $10, you get two small wraps, not enough for a meal. it does taste very fresh and nice, though, and the cashew hummus is delicious. my mom got one of the bowls, and the ginger sauce was great, but for $8 you just get a bowl of rice, beans, and kale; i think it could have used some more vegetables. anyway, everything tasted great and the atmosphere wasnt that bad, contrary to what i had heard. i didnt mind the nearby yoga studio and the counter staff seemed friendly enough.

Blossoming Lotus used to be my favorite place to get beautiful food for my vegan-self, and satisfy the palates of my non-vegan friends. Sadly, their recent choice to divide, limit and raise prices on their menu options on NW Davis Street, and the very limited and outrageously expensive menu choices on NE 15th have resulted in neither place being suitable for me or my friends. With all due respect, I think they've made a huge mistake in changing what was a successful and unique establishment into an over-priced set of two; neither of which appeals to a broad audience. Losing my twice weekly business will not likely create a huge fiscal impact, but I'm sorry to have lost my favorite hangout.
