Purple Porch Co-op - South Bend

Purple Porch isn 't a large store so options are limited. However, they have an excellent salad bar with hearty vegan options (the deconstructed hummus chickpea salad is yummy, also grain salads, and potato salad). They make a yummy vegan breakfast burrito (also a vegetarian one). Whenever I have gone, one of the two hot soup options is vegan and the daily hot food usually has a vegan option (otherwise, a vegetarian option). Daily menu is on their website and foods are labeled vegan. Almost always have a vegan scone (flavor changes daily). There are also some vegan options in the cold prepared food section.

Lentil and brown Reissalat was amazing, so was Ginger Jun Kombucha. The salad bar and the hot bar were not opened, but this is Covid. Not her fault.

All buffet dishes are made by weight and can be quite expensive, but have many options (usually vegan, but also much, that is not). Otherwise there are small options in a refrigerator or packaged items in the branch. Sit and eat. Being quite busy

Purple Porch is not a large memory so options are limited. However, they have an excellent salad bar with hearty vegan options (the deconstructed hummus chickpea salad is delicious, also cereal salads and potato salad). They make a delicious vegan breakfast Burrito (also a vegetarian). Whenever I left, one of the two hot soup options is vegan and the daily warm food usually has a vegan option (other, a vegetarian option). The daily menu is on their website and foods are vegan marked. Almost always have a vegan scone (Flamvor changes daily). There are also some vegan options in the cold prepared food section.

They offer delicious fresh vegan breakfast burritos and a vegan soup every day. I appreciate the wide variety of fresh vegan foods and groceries available. I recommend buying in bulk to save money. My only criticism is that some items can be quite pricey. However, they've started to introduce more reasonably priced options. Although it's not a traditional restaurant, I've noticed improvements over time. I do miss the playful faces they used to draw on the burritos.
