I recently went to the Good Earth Cafe website and noticed that they now post their Nutritional Information (calories) on the website. Which was awesome.
I then became curious as to specifically what on the menu was vegan, so I emailed them and finally got a reply today:
Hi Romina,
Our menu changes daily, as we rotate through a wide selection of recipes.
So I have attached a listing of our products and their ingredients, that are
free of animal-products. I hope this list helps you. Anytime you are in a
Good Earth cafe and wondering about a particular menu item, please feel free
to ask our staff to show you the Ingredient List for that item. We keep a
reference list in each café so our customers can find out what they are
eating.
Thanks for your email.
Nan

Hello,
I am writing with regards to your food menu. I am a Vegan, and would like
to know which of your products I am able to consume. (ie, foods without
milk or its derivatives such as casein or whey, eggs, meat, or any kind of
animal products such as chicken stock)
Thank you,
Romina
