"Sabrina Rudin, whose dedication to the plant-based lifestyle is infectious, was ahead of her time in opening Spring Cafe Aspen in 2013. Since then, clean eaters have flocked to this sunny, social spot for juice, coffee, breakfast, and lunch. With a second location in New York City that’s just as buzzing, the staples on the mountain menu include a “summer gyro” piled with house-made, marinated tempeh, chickpea tuna melt, sweet potato white bean burger, and “Blanca’s Sandwich” made to order with tofu, tomato, onion, jalapeño, Daiya mozzarella, thousand island sauce, and avocado on a millet flax bagel." - Katie Shapiro
