One World Cafe, Vegan, Restaurant, Review, Stony Run Trail, Baltimore, Maryland
You wonder if I am still blogging about the beaches. Of course, but I had a little detour and I do love checking other places out. So, my posts this past week have reflected that.
Last week I was in Baltimore and Susie and I took off for a long walk. By the way, Susie is my sister in law and an avid walker. We had a destination in mind, this being the One World Cafe but in order to get there and have breakfast we needed to walk close to 2 miles.
We took a trail called the Stony Run Trail. It was a beautiful autumn day. The Stony Run Trail follows the railroad bed of the former Baltimore & Delta/Maryland Central. Service began between Baltimore and Towson in 1882. Then in 1891 the Maryland Central merged to form the Baltimore & Lehigh Railroad, then to merge again to form the Ma & Pa in 1901, which was in service into the 1950’s.
There are no railroads running now on this beautiful trail that navigates through very pretty neighborhoods. The restoration of the Stony Run Stream has been completed and community involvement has been on-going to prevent erosion and to improve the condition of the trail. Native plants, trees and shrubs have been planted and the trail is used by walkers, runners, and bikers.
So, if you like to walk this trail is a “way to travel” in Roland Park. It connects a lot of great destinations in the northern Baltimore suburbs; to the Baltimore Museum of Arts, Johns Hopkins Campus, Charles Village, Roland Park, Hampden and Remington. If you are acquainted with Baltimore, then you know that all these neighborhoods are known for their wonderful restaurants and shops.
Finally we arrived at One World Cafe located at 100 W. University Parkway. Tel. 410-235-5777. Website is www.one-world-cafe.com. It is practically, across Johns Hopkins University.
One World Cafe reminded me of some of the restaurants that I visited in Boulder, Colorado. It was eclectic and bohemian.
Their motto? “Healthy vegetarian cuisine in a casual, eclectic atmosphere.”
One World Cafe serves organic and chemical free fruits, vegetables and whole grains, whenever possible.
Their menu reflect the vegan items; vegan desserts, fair trade organic coffee, organic wine, beer or local brews. The restaurant has a full service bar that is open until 2 a.m.
If you are someone that has a food allergy, this restaurant is very aware and sensitive to those with dietary limitations.
We were hungry but coffee was on my mind. I had one of the best cups of coffee in a long time. I should say a large cup of coffee. I like my coffee with a bold taste and it was rich and foamy and perfect!! The barista outdid himself. I told him so.
Next I ordered a Smoked Salmon Omelette, which had smoked salmon, red onion, tomato and capers. Served with multi grain bread. On the menu it stated that if you ate gluten free, then avoid the bread. Delicious.
I wanted to try the vegan meatless sausage patties and they were very good, as well.
Susie ordered the Blue Corn Cakes and she got 2 large pancakes served with butter and organic maple syrup.
She wanted to try the Fakin Bacon. She liked my sausage better but I liked the bacon just as much as the sausage.
Even though we only had breakfast, the dinner menu looked very interesting and I would love to come back and try some of their offerings.
I found the restaurant very comforting, a neighborhood restaurant where you can just stop by and have just a cup of coffee, read the paper sitting on one of the sofas, tables, or at the bar and have breakfast, just like we did.
One World Cafe is open Mondays through Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. and on Sundays from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m.
Have a great day!!!…Talk to you later….
