PLANT BASED HEAT!
We visited Shahar Café in Louisville, KY and walked out with a strong desire to return the next time we visited the city.
We walked in to see colorful artwork that lined the walls of each side of the café. The yellow couch inside the café gives it a very chill feel. Being born and raised in Louisville, KY, it was exciting to see my home city grow in diversity as this business is owned by Turkish residents. If you are into the chill, hip hop vibe, then you will be feelin’ this place.
We ordered the Chick’n Sando plant based sandwich with fries. We also ordered the SnoWhat Snoballs’ Pink Lemonade and Southern Sweet Tea.
If you aren’t vegan, but you want to find out what a good vegan sandwich tastes like, go to Shahar Café. We have to say, Brenna and I had one of the best vegan sandwiches that we’ve ever had. The “meat” tasted like chicken, the bun was toasted just right, and the pickles complemented the chicken very well. The sweet and tangy BBQ sauce that you see glazed on the chicken in the picture below was superb. The fries were THE BEST.
The SnoWhat Snoballs’ Pink Lemonade was very refreshing and very sweet…maybe a little too sweet…but very good. As for the SnoWhat Sothern Sweet Tea, it could have used more sugar and a dash of lemon in order to truly qualify as a “southern”, sweet tea. Despite this, the drinks are still great quality products.
Brenna and I are not vegans, but we love vegan food. This café is a good new addition to Louisville and will help the city become more of a vegan happy place.
