Okay, I finally got to try the Cafe Flourish reuben…meh. It looked nothing like the picture. (I think you got the QG portion size.) I wanted to love it, but it was dry and sparse and bland.

I love this place. The food is fab. The music is hip. The ambience is nice.
Try their grilled cheese or burrito and fresh made lemonade

I have to echo everyones sentiments about the FYH Reuben. The ONLY thing I have ever missed about eating meat was a good corned beef sandwich. Since finding the FYH Reuben a number of years ago, that is no longer an issue. It’s like a traditional Jewish deli style corned beef and makes me very happy!!

I’m going to have to try FYH’s reuben. Last weekend I had Cafe Flourish’s and, while I thought it was good, I prefer their BLT. I love rye bread and sauerkraut, but those flavors were too subtle, I felt the avocado competed with the dressing and the texture of the tempeh didn’t quite work for me. My boyfriend, however, won’t try anything else there. It seems to be his absolute favorite sandwich in all of L.A.

I’m in total love with the quinoa tabbouleh, though. That stuff is phenomenal.

[...] yummy vegan reuben sandwich from Cafe Flourish. Some say it’s the best vegan reuben sandwich in Los Angeles. It’s CuteFilmNerd’s favorite sandwich. I think it’s good, but not phenomenal [...]

Why does everyone use tempeh?! I’m sure it’s a great sandwich, but tempeh doesn’t make for a corned beef sub!

Follow Your Heart’s reuben is the best, hands down. The wheat-meat “pastrami” fits the reuben better than the tempeh used at places like Flourish or RFD.

We were in Portland, Oregon a couple weeks ago and I had the best vegan Reuben ever at a place called ‘Proper Eats’. Better than FYH for sure.
From menu:
Tempeh Reuben $8
Marinated tempeh, baked and served on Dave’s Rye bread with caramelized onions, local kraut and our vegan reuben sauce. Served w/ small salad.

Isn’t the reuben every vegan’s favorite sandwich?! I know it is mine! I wonder how it compares to the Chicago Diner version (my fave!)…
