\"o\"<\/p>\n

One of the very few vegan restaurants to the east of Sacramento, California is a frequent stop for me. Baagan\u2019s Rocklin location is a cafe that is 100% plant-based, offers gluten-free options, and makes all of the food in-house. As the only vegan in my household, it\u2019s rare that I go to a restaurant where I can eat anything on the menu. My regular order is the seasonal panini on the gluten-free bread stuffed with seasonal veggies (typically peppers, onions, and either eggplant or butternut squash). and basil pesto sauce. I decided to expand my horizons and was pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n

Besides my panini, I\u2019ve tried the grilled Baagan burger, the quinoa wrap, the tomato basil pesto sandwich, the PB&J sandwich, and my new favorite, Kitchari. The Baagan burger was so full of other fresh veggies that I barely tasted the burger, but it was delicious nonetheless. The burger is filled with a cheesy sauce that has the most accurate tasting mock cheese flavor I\u2019ve ever tasted. The quinoa wrap also has a mock cheese sauce, but it has a chipotle http:\/\/genericsing.com<\/a> kick to it that a lot of customers love according to Yelp. On a warm day, the tomato basil pesto sandwich is my go-to. Baagan uses fresh, local tomatoes and the same basil pesto sauce that\u2019s in the seasonal panini. The PB&J sandwich is made with almond butter and your choice of jams available that day. Its simple and a great option for kids. I had never even heard of Kitchari until my last visit to Baagan, and I\u2019m so glad I tried it. Quinoa, millet, and lentils are nearly soaked in yellow Indian curry sauce and mixed with peas, carrots, and red peppers. I like to call it the ultimate vegan comfort food.<\/p>\n

Overall, Baagan has yet to let me down. I\u2019ve loved everything I\u2019ve tried, which is a good third of the menu. I\u2019m excited to go back to try some of their desserts, smoothies, and shakes. Check out the rest of their menu and more info on www.baagan.com.
