CLE Takeout Guide: Munch
The Solon spot is known for its healthy soup, sandwiches and salads with plenty of vegan and vegetarian fare such as its small-batch Thai coconut and black bean chili.
“Our philosophy is on making whole foods taste good,” says chef Scott Hersch, who coowns the restaurant with his wife, Jamie. Although the casual, light-filled dining room is typically packed during lunchtime, they also do a brisk business with takeout, offering a super-fresh alternative to a fast food lunch with their small-batch vegan soups such as Thai coconut and black bean chili served with toasted, house-made pita chips.
There are also easy-to-transport sandwiches served on your choice of bread, including wheat pita and Jewish rye — a nod to the 23-year-old eatery’s roots as a vegetarian hot spot on the Case Western Reserve University campus. That longtime focus on simple ingredients extends to the to-go packaging too, with unbleached butcher paper encasing the sandwiches.
Try This: The Mediterranean inspired Julie’s Tabbouleh ($9) is a vegan sandwich packed with zesty falafel, smooth tahini, fresh sprouts, tomatoes and peppers.
