See that incredibly terrible photo of an ugly man’s hand holding a beautiful sandwich? Yeah, that’s THE PLANT Cafe’s “plant burger” and it’s goddamn amazing. Admittedly, I was skeptical about going there because it required that I leave the Mission and pay more than $6 for food but it was totally worth it. First off, I learned that the Embarcadero isn’t so bad. Second, I got to eat the plant burger, which is officially the most addicting drug I’ve ever ingested. I even went back a few days later to get it again. DANG.
In other news, they have really good ketchup.

the wasabi plant burger is borderline genius. on the other hand, despite serving blue bottle coffee, they have no idea how to brew the damned stuff. it’s awful.
I concur. It really is a well designed masterpiece. Enough for two meals, too.
I went in here with four others and we all WANTED to really like this place but it just reminded me of an upscale version of Herbivore.
The food flavors and dishes weren’t full realized and the burgers showed up with the patties completely falling apart to the point where we had to eat it with a fork. The flavors were ok, but it seemed like one of those instances where the focus (organic, healthy, etc) overcomes the actual outcome (flavor, texture..).
