What a diamond in the rough for vegan dining!
Located along ME Route 9 in the former Richard's Seafood Restaurant in Wells, Veggie Life is a casual vegan restaurant & bar with the dining room (table seating) and full servce bar with seating in the back. The front area offers a takeout counter, ready to eat/heat foods, snacks, coffee, and cold drinks.
They offer a fully vegan menu including handhelds with chips, salads, appetizers, pizzas, entrees, brunch dishes (weekends), kids menu and desserts. The prices seem fair. The bar offers 4 draft beers, can/bottle beers, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, and Carrabassett Coffee Co flavored coffees.
I stopped by Veggie Life for dinner on a Saturday evening. I arrived here just before the place got busy. I was given food & drink menus and a glass of ice water. They had a Chicken Parm with Cavatappi Pasta & Bread special for ($28 plus tax).
Since I wanted brunch and dinner, I ordered 2 entrees, Breakfast Burrito ($16 plus tax) and Chik'n Patty Sandwich ($16 plus tax) , which both came out together in 13 minutes.
The Breakfast Burrito was filled with soft mung bean "egg" patty, tempeh sausage, grilled onions and peppers, cheddar cheese, and home fries, all wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla, served with sides of salsa, sour cream & guacamole.
The Chik'n Patty Sandwich had a crispy breaded "chicken" patty, lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo on a soft bun, served with crunchy potato chips and broccoli slaw (broccoli, carrots, brussel sprouts, craisins in a sweet light vegan mayo mix).
Both entrees had good flavors and very filling to eat. For dessert, the Brownie Sundae ($8 plus tax), a soft fudge brownie, topped with hard vanilla ice cream, thick chocolate sauce, plenty of whipped cream, & a cherry buried, a good sweet dessert.
The check with Toast QR code was dropped off as I was eating the dessert. The total was $43.20 with tax and before tip. Overall, I enjoyed an excellent vegan meal at Veggie Life. My boss who is a vegan would definitely love this place and would make the hour drive here. I will definitely come back again here to try their pizza and one of their special entrees. read more
