"This Summerlin café serves hearty, flavor-packed sandwiches and wraps that are anything but basic. The LGBTQ sandwich riffs on a BLT, swapping in lemon vinaigrette (L), cucumber (Q), and bacon jam on thick ciabatta that holds up beautifully in transit. The vegan RSTLNE delivers just as much punch, and wraps like the Tree of Life — stuffed with roasted red peppers, avocado, mango vinaigrette, pickled onions, vegan ranch, and a Brazil nut crumble — are loaded with so much texture that even meat-eaters won’t miss a thing. The menu caters to all diets, and house-baked cookies or brownies are worth adding to your order." - Janna Karel
"With a menu divided by options for vegan and non-vegans, Bronze Cafe offers all kinds of piled-high sandwiches and loaded salads — plus smoothies and coffee drinks for sipping. The negocio salad starts with kale dressed in lemon juice and spicy vinegar, then topped with savory bacon-style soy crumbles, brown basmati rice, pico de gallo, red cabbage, avocado, and crunchy pumpkin seeds, for a bowl of vegetables that’s almost certain to have leftovers." - Janna Karel
"Bronze Cafe offers an even amount of meaty and vegetarian sandwiches on its northwest Las Vegas menu. The Complicated Order features oven-roasted bacon strips, a housemade bacon jam, oven-roasted turkey, avocado, cucumber, mixed greens, tomato, basil aioli, and housemade lemon vinaigrette on toasted ciabatta. But for the vegetarian version, ask for The Vegucated Order with vegan bacon strips, a housemade coconut bacon jam, oven-roasted Tofurky slices, avocado, cucumber, mixed greens, tomato, vegan basil aioli, and housemade lemon vinaigrette on toasted ciabatta." - Janna Karel
"A nearly ten-year-old shop known for salads and its signature “sammiches,” it began in the LGBTQIA+ Center in April 2013, moved to a small Fremont Street market, and after a period of exporting its sandwiches to downtown eateries settled at its current Desert Shores location. The menu is deliberately divided into plant-based and meat-based options; a popular meat-side item is the Complicated Order (turkey, bacon strips, house-made bacon jam, avocado, greens and basil aioli), while the vegan counterpart, the Vegucated Order, swaps in Tofurkey bacon and a coconut bacon jam. The owners emphasize fit-friendly choices prepared fresh daily and view running the new park-facing contract as a privilege." - Janna Karel
"After a year occupying space inside a larger market complex, this longtime cafe closed for good last November when its Fremont East location shuttered; its former, roughly 6,500-square-foot home is now being eyed for reconfiguration into separate leasable spaces, and the cafe's menu has been relocated a short walk away to another nearby outlet." - Bradley Martin
