Food at AS220 Providence RI
Last night I went to a local hot spot in Providence RI. AS220 has a cafe on Empire st that offers a boat load of vegan options! They had super amazing absolutely wonderful local sodas! I am not a soda drinker, but I used to be and have a strong love for Birch Beer! So I went ahead and got it :) Yummm! For an Entree I got the Grilled Chicken with follow your heart Mozz, spinach and apple butter. The apple butter was really good, chicken so so and mozz just fine. My major complaint was the grilled bread! OMG break your teeth and cut your gums. I had a hard time enjoying the sandwich as a whole! The mac and cheese was also so so. It had a smoky imitation bacon flavor going on. Ehh. All in all I would eat there again and try some soups, salads and sides!

Sweet Freedom Bakery, Philadelhia
I have an attitude adjustment to make about this bakery. Recently, the owners had some pretty ignorant things to say about vegans. You can read if yourself in this link http://www.philly.com/inquirer/entertainment/20101121_Sweet_Freedom_bakery_on_South_Street__vegan_and_gluten-free.html . They will no longer have my business.
So I finally made it over to Sweet Freedom on South Street in Philadelphia, PA. I do not need gluten free, but I do need vegan, so I gave it a whirl. I have to say, it wasn't that bad. For me it is hard to say amazing since most of the time I don't prefer garbanzo bean flour, but they had a good flavor. I bought all 3 of their cookie cream pie flavors (Oatmeal with vanilla butter cream, Chocolate chip with vanilla butter cream, and chocolate chip with chocolate butter cream). 3 of us voted and feel that chocolate butter cream was by far the best.
It is a cute shop, small but cozy. I think there was seating for maybe 4-6 people. They had a small cooler of drinks, coconut water being my favorite. They have a 10 dollar limit on credit card usage. Know this if you only plan on buying a snack or 2. We had to purchase the 3rd item just to be allowed to use the cc machine.
