  • Steel of the Week: Vegan Milkshake

    Steel of the Week: Vegan Milkshake

    Our Steel this week may leave you a little hungry… Vegan milkshakes from the Quiet Storm. Vegans and non-vegans alike are sure to be satisfied from one of these shakes. Forget weekly vegan specials: Quiet Storm has twelve different varieties offered every day. The flavors we tried were the espresso shake, sticky bun, banana bread, and ginger lemon. As the menu suggests, they did take a little while to prepare, but were definitely worth the wait.

    Located in Bloomfield since 2001, this vegetarian and vegan cafe is the perfect spot if you are looking for this type of meal or even just to connect to the wifi and get some work done over house brewed iced chai tea. Some other points worth mentioning: the cafe is BYOB, a mostly vegan Sunday brunch is offered, and take-out is available.

    This yoga workshop is brought to you by Communiteach – a new website that was founded by 2 friends in Pittsburgh and Chicago to help people share their skills and learn new ones.  This is one of the first of many workshops from Communiteach.  I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Ben Paul, one of the founders of Communiteach, and I know there are lots more good things to come from this project.  Check out Communiteach at Communiteach.com
