As the City Commission of Lawrence debates whether to allow a more lenient food truck policy in the…read morecity I thought I'd take the opportunity to let folks know the truck has changed names. Appears it's still the same people, and the menu hasn't changed, but now they're known by The Purple Carrot food cooperative. They have a Facebook page but it really doesn't prove anything so I can't even bring myself to report the name change to Yelp so I'll just put it here. Marketing isn't part of the Carrot's strategy apparently. See: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Purple-Carrot-Cooperative/771365949548733?sk=info Had the black bean and brown rice bowl last night at the Thursday's Farmer's Market and it was delish, packed with some good greens and tasty cheese and a bit of hot sauce. Really hit the spot. Hoping these folks make a go of it. Only places I ever see them is as the Farmer's Market and it's pretty hard to generate a lot of business at those.

The fries were cooked nicely but they weren't anything spectacular so I probably wouldn't order them again. But the corn dog was faaaabulous as always.

The only problem I had one of my corn dogs was way overcooked but I was already down the road and couldn't turn around. But I will be trying them anytime I can find them.

This place was more bark than bite. The owner talked about how amazing it was going to be, which…read morereally got us excited; only to be let down by some two star tacos, topped with cheap, pre grated cheese. The waffles tasted like a cheap mix was used, and the crust on the chicken was too thick and overcooked. The owners should be more interested in the customers, and let us be impressed by the food, not their promise of it. The business should concentrate more on selling jars of their salsa, which was their saving grace.

They unfortunately, were out of the chili that I wanted and since I can't eat bread I felt really jipped getting the black bean burger ( for $10) which was just a very small burger on a piece of lettuce. Once I started eating it though it satisfied me to no end. Coupled with a pumpkin pie spice smoothie I was well satisfied even for the money I wish I had the money to buy their finest assortment of fermented and cultured goodness including mustards, kimchi, ancho mole and so many other tasty things that I got to sample

It was slathered was a tasty homemade Ketchup. All and all, I think it should have been priced at $5 since I was walking up to a truck to purchase it, the raw ingredients were nothing. They had nothing but bread and burger: how hard is it for a vegetarian food truck to add lettuce, tomato, something creative. The gentleman running the truck were hitting the upsales pretty aggressively. Probably won't be returning. The whole experience was pretty meh.

We saw the truck was coming to our neighborhood ACE Hardware, so we decided to give them a try…read more There wasn't really anywhere in the parking lot for us to sit and eat so we decided to take it to go. I ordered the Bourbon Glaze burger and upgraded the fries to add bacon and queso. My husband ordered the spicy avocado burger and also upgraded the fries. My burger was well cooked and seasoned and the bourbon glaze added a hit of sweetness. My only complaint is that the glaze is on the thinner side so my bun was pretty soggy by the time we got home and the glaze is the only wet condiment on the burger, so I ended up adding some mayo. The fries were crispy and salted well and the bacon and queso were great with them. I didn't get to try my husband's burgers, but he said it was delicious and he really liked the cilantro aioli on it. We'll have to give their brick and mortar location a go soon.

The staff are friendly, efficient, and well versed in their products. Some of the furniture could use a refresh (some of the upholstered chairs are looking worn) but overall the decor is pleasant and the entire facility is clean, clean, clean! I often order a hot tea with a savory pastry, but if you're looking for something special, the Mont Blanc pastry and the pistachio matcha latte are very popular. On one recent visit, my friend ordered the apricot pastry, and I got an ube donut and a mushroom tart. So good! The cream under the apricot was so light and fluffy. The combination of long open hours, friendly staff, and very fresh pastries makes this shop an essential spot in west Lawrence.

It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!
