Hi! Just wanted to inform you that I work at the CCF and I myself am a vegan and I know the menu very well. Just wanted to clear that the sourdough and the wheat bread is vegan. The impossible burger is 100% vegan. The bun and the cheese is all vegan. The Korean cauliflower is vegan Just ask for no ranch when you order. the veggie burger is NOT vegan at all because the patty contains egg whites. We don’t have a “vegan dressing” so balsamic vinaigrette is your only option. We no longer carry the impossible bolognese pasta anymore.
Thanks for the info, Lili! I made some updates to the guide that I was unsure about (like the cheese and bun being vegan with the impossible burger). I am reluctant to say that the Korean cauliflower is vegan, however, because the current allergen guide still claims that it is not vegan. I’d rather say that it isn’t vegan and it actually be vegan rather than someone reading that it is vegan and accidentally eating something that contains animal products. But I made a note to always ask the server. I also got some different information from customer service when I contacted them, but I’ll reach out to them again to see if I get a different answer!
