Vegan MoFo 20: One World Cafe Review

One of the places that I've visited more than any other since moving to Baltimore is One World Cafe. One World is considered a vegetarian restaurant, but they do serve fish. Even still, the word "vegan" is all over the place because there are plenty of options for us.


I visit more often for weekend brunch with my partner than for anything else. They always have specials and at least one is always vegan, but more often than not, most are. On top of that, they have a seriously good tofu scramble that can be inside of a burrito, and reliably humongous pancakes. (You'll pour your syrup from Absolut Vodka bottles with spouts affixed). I always pair any of these with their Velvet Hammer coffee and almond milk. The best bit is that the Bloody Marys are vegan.


Despite my love of the breakfast foods there, I've been in for more than one dinner and lunch. I almost always have to decide between two or four vegan dinner specials, and those have never disappointed. The regular menu items are great too and my favorite is the Thai Vegetable & Tempeh Saute. Either way, I usually have to take half home so that I can something from their dessert case, since they always have a number of vegan cakes (you always get a HUGE slice) and other treats.

I get dessert with lunch too. I usually have the OWC Wrap (pictured below). It's worth it for the herb dressing that comes with it. I had the veggie burger of the day once and it was amazing, so maybe I need to do more of that.

  2. Haha! Kind of weird that they use vodka bottles for the syrup but I approve. The french toast looks beautiful. I like mine with fruit too.

    1. When I move to a bigger place, I'm going to have SO many bottles of vodka syrup.

    1. You have to! It's fantastic. I just got back from there on Taco Tuesdays with a giant slice of cake!

  4. I'm late to the party but I share your love for One World! My dad is still a little skeptical about it, but he and my mom sometimes have brunch with us there post-farmers' market. I go for the pancakes, but the husband is a scramble devotee. :)

    1. I'd be willing to bet we've been in there eating at the same time then. I am also a pancake girl, while my boyfriend is all about the scramble. And that's even what we have this morning!

      Blogger didn't eat your comment, but I went ahead and published both. I think a Bmore Blogger meet up would be awesome! Do you know of other Bmore vegan bloggers? I don't know that I have any on my list.

    2. This gal is a friend of a friend: http://www.nomyourself.com/. I don't know her, but I know a TON of people who are active through Open the Cages Alliance. It's a small movement in a small city, so there's a lot of overlap. Feel free to friend me and I'll rope everyone in: https://www.facebook.com/shannon.marie.7771

  5. ONOZ, I think Blogger just ate my comment. :( I was sharing my love for One World! I love the pancakes and my husband loves the scramble, so we try to share. We should do a Bmore vegan blogger meetup!
