There are pretty solid spinach wraps stuffed with a garden’s worth of red peppers and cabbage, bowls of tamari, garlic, and paprika-marinated tofu over quinoa or brown rice—they’re leveled up by a range of creamy sauces and dressing, like sriracha miso, or jalapeño cashew mayo.

“Both of the city’s two locations of Nourish Cafe are dependable spots for plant-forward healthy eats. Bowls, smoothies, and tempting toasts are all on offer, but if you’re in the mood for something slightly more indulgent, look to the Frittata Sandwich. Locally made seedy sourdough bread is slathered with a housemade artichoke-cashew mayo and layered with buttery avocado, heirloom tomato and a warm JUST Egg Frittata made with roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and baby spinach. When it’s chilly out (read: almost always), don’t shy away from the uniqueness of the Peppermint Chocolate Chai Latte – warm, spicy chai balanced with cool peppermint.”

“Love to eat healthy, rich-tasting dishes but avoid highly processed foods? Then, when you’re in San Francisco, Nourish Café is truly the place to visit. They use only the very best-quality ingredients with minimal process-ing — meaning they use minimal oils, no refined sugars, and ingredients as close to the “whole food” as possible. Their flours, while processed, are usu-ally “sprouted,” which increases the nutrient density of the baked goods.”
