Somebody emailed us (thanks Laura) about the new place downtown, Blossoming Lotus:

"So, you asked about Blossoming Lotus a while back and I don't know if you got any responses. I was there over the weekend and the food was really good. I got a baked tofu and avacado sandwich. It was little firm thin strips of tofu, not a big slab. Also had a really fresh and creamy tomato soup special. The tofu scramble looked good too with toast and margarine. Everything seemed not too healthy but definitely light. Really, really good fresh juice. The place has a sunny coffee shop feel but with an amazing selection for such a small place. While I was there the chef, I believe, was making a beautiful carrot cake and fresh foccacia used for the sandwiches. All vegan! It seems like most customers are there for the yoga place but it is a great restaurant all on its own. You do have to take your shoes off to go to the bathroom and you may even encounter some sweaty naked people changing clothes. But, the tasty food and friendly service make even that small shock to your sensibilities well worth it."
