As CLAWtheory has hit the road, we’ve made some happy discoveries and encountered some wonderful veg dining experiences and great people. Since current estimates suggest that only about 7% of the U.S. population maintains a vegetarian or vegan diet, we’re willing to make U-Turns when we find places as cool as Mission Savvy in Charleston, West Virginia!  Thank you for cooking with compassion and helping the 7% crowd feel 100% connected.

Mission Savvy Vegan Cafe and Juice Bar offers outrageously delicious selections.  These tasty, lovingly prepared meals and yummy fresh juice selections will knock your non-leather boots off!  These meals are as healthy as they are satisfying, with scrumptious taste combinations, and did we mention the food is simply GORGEOUS?

In addition to a great cafe, Mission Savvy offers wildcraft boxes with local pick up and delivery options in addition to a cozy dining area and outdoor seating, you’re going to love it.

If you’re looking for a place to join family & friends for a visit to Mission Savvy is destined to satisfy.  This fine restaurant has certainly made our travels happier and we think they’ve made the world a nicer place, too.  One taste of their artisanal cuisine may even inspire your non-veg friends and family may make a veg life U-Turn, too.

2016 update: Mission Savvy has updated their format to Wildcraft Box orders and events!

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 some of the awesome people and places we’ve discovered on the road who are making 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.  While we appreciate veg-friendly menus, food that’s made by and for veg folks is usually off the happy charts.  This list is not intended as a complete guide or as a review – we haven’t been everywhere (and probably won’t get everywhere).  We simply want to offer a deeply heartfelt thank you to the places and folks we’ve found and are excited to share.
