*this
added
note
is
for
the
owner:
I
am
not
arguing
that
it's
not
vegan,
but
more
that
I
would
not
even
closely
consider
that
Challah
bread.
Vegan
Texas
Toast
and
Challah
bread
are
two
very
different
things
and
what
you
served
was
neither.
I
updated
my
review
to
make
it
clear.
My
recent
return
to
Sweet
Basil's
Cafe,
hoping
for
a
better
dining
experience,
left
me
just
as
disappointed
as
before.
Regrettably,
I
won't
be
giving
this
establishment
another
chance.
My
review
specifically
focuses
on
their
vegan
options.
During
my
initial
visit,
I
opted
for
the
vegan
Sweet
Basil's
Grilled
Cheese.
Immediately,
it
became
apparent
that
the
sandwich
was
not
served
on
vegan
challah
bread,
contrary
to
what
was
advertised.
I
thought
it
WAS
VEGAN,
but
definitely
NOT
considered
CHALLAH
BREAD
OR
TEXAS
TOAST.
My
friends,
who
happen
to
be
Jewish,
confirmed
this
discrepancy.
When
I
raised
the
issue
with
our
server,
she
went
to
the
kitchen
and
returned
claiming
that
it
was
indeed
challah
bread.
While
I
didn't
feel
the
need
to
argue
further,
it
was
evident
that
the
bread
did
not
meet
the
criteria
for
vegan
challah.
This
misrepresentation
left
me
disheartened.
Additionally,
the
presence
of
wilted
lettuce
on
my
plate
was
unappetizing.
Although
the
sandwich
itself
was
passable,
the
saving
grace
was
the
delightful
fig
aioli.
However,
considering
the
overall
underwhelming
experience,
the
steep
price
of
$15.95
felt
unjustified.
During
my
second
visit,
I
tried
their
Sizzling
Breakfast
Frittata.
While
the
home
fries
and
toast
were
satisfactory,
the
frittata
itself
was
inedible
due
to
excessive
saltiness.
The
$16.50
price
tag
felt
unjustified
for
a
dish
that
lacked
any
real
flavor.
The
service
was
also
subpar,
with
inattentive
and
unfriendly
staff.
Sweet
Basil's
Cafe
should
reconsider
their
vegan
options,
aiming
for
both
quality
and
affordability.
