If you\u2019re a vegetarian or\nvegan living in the Baltimore area, there\u2019s little doubt you\u2019ve heard of One\nWorld Caf\u00e9. The quaint caf\u00e9, bakery, bar, and sit-down restaurant is located\nconveniently on the corner of Canterbury Road, steps away from the Johns\nHopkins University campus. Whether you need a quiet study spot, a mid-workday\nlunch stop, or a place to gather and dine with friends and family, One World\nCaf\u00e9 has become a go-to place for students and families in and outside of the\nHopkins area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     My first visit to One World Caf\u00e9 was in\n2018. My parents and I had been driving through Baltimore searching for a\nrestaurant we would all enjoy \u2013 they being omnivores, me being a vegetarian.\nAfter spending a substantial amount of time driving through Baltimore, we\nspotted a dimly lit One World Caf\u00e9. We entered through the corner door, made\nour way towards the hostess area, past a shelf of colorful vegan desserts, then\npast the small bar where the \u201cregulars\u201d mingled. The hostess took us down two\nsteps into a moody, purple-painted dining area and sat us at a corner booth\ndecorated with colorful \u201cboho\u201d pillows. She introduced herself, asked if we had\nbeen to One World Caf\u00e9 before, and passed us each a menu. She was incredibly\nfriendly and, in our future visits to the caf\u00e9, would become a waitress with\nwhom we would regularly find ourselves chatting. After handing us our menus,\nshe delved into the seasonal specials \u2013 it was winter, so the specials\nencompassed a variety of soups, stews, and other sorts of \u201ccomfort foods.\u201d  Being newly vegetarian, I was still reluctant\nto try anything that involved meat alternatives, so I opted for a simple cheese\nand veggie quesadilla. The quesadilla came plated with chips, salsa, and guac \u2013\nit was delicious and tasted almost as if it came from an authentic Mexican\nrestaurant. We were delighted with our meal; we ate fast and anticipated ending\nour night with a dessert from the One World Caf\u00e9 bakery. Little did we know,\nthe dessert we ordered would become a family favorite and one we would order\neach time we went to the caf\u00e9 \u2013 a slice of vegan \u201cfunfetti\u201d birthday cake. It\nwas our first time eating vegan cake, and we spent the next ten minutes in awe\nof the perfect consistency \u2013 dense yet still moist. After that night, I was\necstatic about returning to One World Caf\u00e9 again to try some of the exciting\ndishes and seasonal specials they had to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Three years later, I now a vegan, One\nWorld Caf\u00e9 remains one of my favorite Baltimore restaurants. Not only is it a\ngo-to dinner spot for me, it has become my favorite place to grab breakfast.\nThroughout a year of COVID-19, my friend and I have relied on breakfast\ntake-out from the caf\u00e9 to get us through. It\u2019s important to note that One World\nCaf\u00e9 has done a fantastic job following CDC guidelines \u2013 offering delivery and\ncurbside pickup, keeping customers at a distance, and sanitizing credit cards\nand pens after contact. During our regular Sunday morning gatherings, my friend\nand I order brunch from One World Caf\u00e9 and have a small feast in the car. Thus\nfar, my favorite item on the brunch menu has been the Tofu Scrambled \u2013 plated\nwith a side of toast, sprouts, and an orange slice \u2013 which I usually order\nalongside a medium iced coffee with almond milk. The vegan scramble is a\ncombination of veggies, tofu, and (likely) nutritional yeast to give it a\ncheesy flavor. My friend\u2019s go-to breakfast dish is the same tofu scrambled, but\nin burrito form, filled with vegan cheese, salsa, and guac. While I regularly\nopt for their savory breakfast options, the sweet breakfasts, such as vegan\nwaffles and pancakes \u2013 especially with chocolate chips \u2013 are also delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     If you haven\u2019t been to One World Caf\u00e9 or\nyou don\u2019t live in Baltimore, whenever you find yourself in this city looking\nfor a healthy place to dine, with an expansive menu, and welcoming service, I\nhighly suggest you give One World Caf\u00e9 a chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
