vegan columbus: vegan living in central ohio

UPDATE: As of June 2009, Benevolence is closed until further notice.

"Vegetarian/Vegan ... All natural, made from scratch ... Earth Friendly"

This place is also a bookstore and also displays/sells art. And I hear they have cooking classes too. Closed Sundays.

A sign by the register has info for their "vegan friends": Earth Balance available on the side, all desserts and dressings are vegan, different vegan soups daily. They make several types of amazingly thick-sliced, flavorful, and hearty bread. My favorite dish is Del's oven-baked tofu (half-sandwich for $3.25). It has a cozy cabin ambiance but with indie rock playing. There is a small hut of a jewelry shop next to the register (locally made).
