Lake Tahoe, CA

February 21, 2013
We had the most beautiful drive thru the snowy mountains to South Lake Tahoe today. I am dying to run and frolic in the snow, but we drove straight to the club, and a few blocks away found a vegan cafe called Simple Bliss. It's a tiny cafe that opened in July 2012 and is decorated to rustic woodsy perfection. The menu here is huge for a one woman kitchen. They have a ton of desserts, and everything is organic, vegan, soy free, and every item has a gluten free counterpart. I especially like their retail products of all kinds of coconut, gluten free stuff. That part makes it feel like a small grocer too. They have a large breakfast selection, which leads me to believe they are probably super busy for brunch, and a smaller lunch/dinner menu which consisted of lentil burgers, rices bowl, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and paninis. I was bummed they were out of soup, but I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy with roasted red potatoes. Calum order the quiche with a salad. This place is pricey, but organic, whole foods are high in quality and worth the extra cents. All though the portions were small, I was very full. The potatoes were lightly seasoned, and the quiche had a strong herb flavor to it. You could tell everything was made from scratch, and it was the closest to a homemade meal I've had all tour!!
