Review: Little Lad's Bakery & Cafe

Buried under 120 Broadway is a small store front with a deceivingly large cafeteria style restaurant. Named Little Lad's Bakery & Cafe, this restaurant is as much about the affordable vegan food as it is about nutritional education.

The offer a breakfast and lunch buffet. You can also order sandwiches and burgers. These come with a really good pile of herb popcorn. The buffet a rotating set of 6 dishes and they have a minimal but tasty salad and fruit bar.

It took me weeks of looking for a vegetarian restaurant near Wall street before I found little lads.

The food is great. From the hot buffet have macaroni and cheese today and mashed sweet potato. Very nice. here is their menu from their website

Come for Breakfast 7:00am to 10:00am and Our famous $3.99 all natural
Vegetarian/Vegan lunch buffet 11:30am to 2:30pm
The Buffet Menu includes but not limited to the following on rotating basis.

Armenian Pilaf
Burrito Pie
Spoon Bread

People in this place talk and chatter about food. It is a happy place.

they charge just $3.99 for lunch buffet eat-in and by the pound for take out. It is the cheapest lunch I have found in the city in years.

I give this place the highest praise. Careful though. I have seen the unitinitiated weirded out by the place. The friendliness, openess, trust (pay as you leave and just tell them what you ate, they don't check up on you) freaks some people out. If you love Pax ...don't come to little lads.
