This U-Turns destination welcomes a trip to Tulsi Tea Room in Montpelier, Vermont, but make it a Meatless Tuesday -Tulsi is closed Mondays!

Tulsi Tea Room offers a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, specialty teas and tonics, and hearty portions of health conscious vegetarian cuisine.   In addition to the changing daily specials, you can find an exquisite selection of bulk teas, gifts, and herbal infused raw confections.

Everything at Tulsi Tea Room is crafted with care, and the menu reflects an emphasis on local food and local farms.  The menu offers seasonal options that are fresh and flavorful, with soups, curries, salads, and an impressive array of not-too-sweet Tulsi Treats. The vegan and gluten free selections are plentiful, too.  Tasty enough to feel indulgent, a visit to Tulsi feels a lot like a deep exhaled breath during Yoga practice, filling you with a sense of nourished contentment that only comes from the inside out.

 In addition to delightful meals and treats, Tulsi Tea Room also hosts a number of events featuring diverse artists and projects.

About U-Turns

Though one recent poll suggests there are more than 7 million vegetarians/vegans in the U.S., it’s easy to feel isolated when you’re part of (roughly) 7% of the population.  One recent report  revealed that “a large majority of former vegetarians/vegans (63%) said that they disliked that their diet made them stick out from the crowd.”  That inspired CLAWtheory to give a big thanks to the awesome people and places we’ve discovered who make veg life better, and U-Turns was born.

While we have enjoyed veg meals at many veg-friendly establishments,  the U-Turns list is restricted to vegetarian and vegan restaurants.  We appreciate “veg-friendly,” but food that’s made by and for veg folks is off the happy charts.  This list is not intended as a complete guide– just a as an offering of gratitude to the wonderful places and folks we’ve met on the road.  Cooking with compassion makes the world a kinder,  more sustainable place!
