They are part of the Indie Coffee Passport thing so I skipped the coffee (and ps. they charge an extra 50 cents for soymilk, bleh) and just ordered a root vegetable soup they had marked as vegan. It normally comes with toast, but when I asked, the server said he didn&#8217;t think the bread was vegan, so I skipped it. And he kindly gave me a little bit of a discount since I wasn&#8217;t having the bread.<\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"Root Vegetable soup from Linux Caffe by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/5109314897\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Root Vegetable soup from Linux Caffe\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4124\/5109314897_ee39be3eab.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a><\/center>The first bite of soup was weird, and not what I was expecting, but by the end of it I was really enjoying it.
