We wanted to love this beautiful restaurant so very much. It seats only a handful of tables and faces large glass windows into the production area of the bakery. Although they do offer vegan options, which we appreciate, the offerings we very bland. We ordered the red and green chile breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, all made with organic tofu and breakfast potatoes. The chile was bland, tofu flavorless and not seasoned at all, the food was barely warm. They do have soy milk for coffee drinks, no baked goods that are vegan at all. The prices did not match the quality of what we were served. The staff is helpful and friendly and guided us to the vegan options. In a warehouse district, a bit cha...
I agree with vgndrl that Chocolate Maven doesn't offer many vegan options. The owners and chef are Sikhs and ovo lacto vegetarians, and I wish they would add more vegan options to the menu (especially during dinner). However, that doesn't stop me from visiting the Maven for a soy cappuccino and their New Mexico style tofu scramble (be sure to request no cheese on the black beans). Also the Maven's garlic rosemary french fries are out of this world! Updated from previous review on Tuesday February 07, 2012
Very little vegan options!!! Menu said that most of the menu options could be made vegan, vegetarian or gluten free. Only a few of the savory options can be made vegan. Tofu scramble or the chilaqules. When we asked if it any of the sweet breakfast options i.e. pancakes or waffles or crepes can be made vegan they said no. Also all of the pastries (except 1 type of cupcake) were not vegan and there was at least 50 different types of pastries and desserts! Good for vegetarians and non vegans.
Had the chipotle chicken salad with tofu instead, it had a delicious orange chipotle dressing. But aside from the tofu scramble and one or two other things, not very vegan friendly. Really disappointed there were no vegan options for dessert or baked goods. Service was very friendly , if slow.

We very much enjoyed our meal here. I would give 5 stars if allowed. I got the tofu scramble for breakfast and it was flavored and spiced perfectly. I was also able to get hot chocolate with almond milk and it was so good. I enjoyed being able to look into the bakery production room as well.
Went here for breakfast the other day and had a great tofu scramble with black beans and smashed potatoes. Great way to start the day! And the staff were very friendly and attentive. There aren’t too many vegan options, but what they have seems great.
really disappointed, they should not even be happy. no vegan desserts, all they really have for vegans is tofu scramble, which is so easy to make me that it is not even worth it.
Chocolate yes, but so much more. A busy place especially on weekends with a good long wait for breakfast or lunch and worth every minute. If you don't...
