Vegan Flava Cafe recently opened on Guess Road in Durham near Northgate Mall.

<b>DURHAM, N.C.</b> — <strong>Vegan Flava Cafe </strong>recently opened on Guess Road in Durham, near Northgate Mall. As a nearly lifelong vegetarian, I was so excited to check it out.

The menu has all kinds of comfort food, from curried lentils and rice to red beans and rice. The plantains were some of the best I’ve had. The owner/chef will gladly walk you through the menu and make recommendations (and even give you samples!).

So happy to welcome this fresh, local, vegan restaurant to Durham!
