A deli with a healthy slant? That's sort of what Ikraveit reminds me of in spite of the semi-odd name. It is neither the fanciest nor the most mind blowing healthy fare by any stretch, but for the soup-salad-sandwich lunch crowd, it'll do.
It's not to suggest that *everything* they offer is healthy per se. A big portion of their menu is breakfast driven, but with the greasy options of bacon, cheese, and fries, they also have things like turkey ham, wheat bread, eg whites, and avocado as options to style omelettes, bagels, and the general breakfast sandwich.
The vegan section is interesting and mainly comprised of sandwiches with some kind of tofu or veg in them. None of the fake meats will convert any meat eater, i.e. the "Vegan California Chicken" is comprised of tofu, vegan cheese, avocado, cucumbers. A nice healthy sandwich? Sure. One that tastes like chicken? Not in the least bit.
I am not sure what to make of the salads, frankly. It's been a gamble with every one I've ordered thus far. Their chopped chicken salad is a deal at $7.99, but in the case of "pay what you get", it's not very much in the grand scheme of things. Their smoothies / juices however, are a better option in my opinion. Anything with beets and acai is a killer combo for sure.
I used to come here to knock out a little bit of work while on the go, but it's been more of a delivery option as of late. They have their good and their bad days, which is why, despite their focus on healthy choices is less appealing than me going to an actual deli.
