The Vegan Love Boat is an absolute must for any celebration!

Sushiko is THE best kept secret of Jacksonville. Or is it a secret? One could only hope, so that the vegan sushi dream boat never runs out. You would be remiss to not daunt yourself with the task of devouring the entire vegan menu but I'll settle for just a few suggestions to start. A family favorite at Cowford is the JVL roll. Sweet potato tempura, avocado, scallion, tofutti deep fried with rice outside & topped with vegan eel sauce & sesame seeds. Um, yeah. Amazing. 

Want another? Try the Golan roll (pictured)! Tempura tofu, mango, sweet potato fried roll, topped with avocado, red tempura bites, cashews and drizzled with mango and eel sauce. Yum!

The Vegan VLT sandwich with a bag of chips and a cold brew!

Want a quiet space to go on your lunch break with a plethora of local beers and organic wines? Then Town needs to be put on your radar & not just because the owners are honestly the sweetest, but because they've recently rolled out three delicious (and healthy!) sandwiches thanks to Grassroots Natural Market. 

It's layered with tempeh, organic tomato, lettuce, avocado spread, nutritional yeast and vegenaise. The texture of the Tempeh was out of this world and paired with a cold local brew; lunch could not have been better. Grab yourself a growler while you're there and tell the owners, Priya and Alex, you'll see them next week, because visiting family is important and even better with a pint.

The only problem you'll run into at Murray Hillbilly is choosing what to eat! We're stuck on The Bubba & The HillBilly Whopper. Which one is your flaovr? 

When Murray Hillbilly came to Murray Hill it opened with a vengeance and a mission to serve up mouth watering, passionate and ethical food. Not only are they on the map for Murray Hill, but one look around social media and you'll see that their following had reached far in the 904. 

With passion comes an audience and they're definitely here to stay. When you hit up this 100% vegan restaurant make sure you check out The Bubba (pictured). It dotes bbq soy chicken topped with house made slaw and their special sauce on lettuce and tomato. If you're in the mood for a burger, dig into the HillBilly Whopper. Their vegan burger patty is topped with house-made chedda cheeze, lettuce, tomato and bbq chicken to top it off.

Talk about bakery Heaven! Sweet Theory is just that; a total treat. From cookie sandwiches to Homer donuts, Cowford is jumping for joy that it's just around the corner. 

Follow the smells or just look for the line wrapped around the building and you'll find yourself at the cutest little bakery where the early bird truly gets the worm... or, donuts. Make sure you call ahead or get their first thing because Sweet Theory sells out quick and for good reason.

Cowford's favorite treats are the cookie sandwich (pictured) and the Homer donut. The cookie sandwich layers two chocolate chip cookies with a mountain of yummy frosting inside. Childhood memories anyone? The Homer Donut (yes, like the Simpsons!) is pink frosted with the cutest little sprinkles on top. Cowford will see ya in line sometime, I'm sure!
