Kayak Kafé Broughton

If you're a vegan in Savannah, finding great food can be a challenge, but Kayak Cafe is a standout.
In a city where vegan options are limited, this cafe truly shines.
The food is good.
Within walking distance if you're staying close to the river.

Menu is clearly labeled for vegan options and many to choose from.
I had the Tiger Tofu quesadilla and it was delightful, slightly sweet marinade to the tofu.
The vegan tater tot nachos were a pleasant surprise.
We all enjoyed them.
My wife had the walnut chorizo burrito and daughter had the tofu salad.
We will be back, great vegan options.

We decided on Kayak Kafé after the last experience at a vegan café wowed us.
It was convenient and I didn’t really scrutinize the reviews otherwise we may not have stopped in. The atmosphere in this café was chaotic.
That’s the best I can describe it.
We were there a little after 4pm on a Tuesday – not like a busy weekend – and tables weren’t cleaned so we sat at one that was clean-ish. The guy behind the bar was super friendly as was the woman he was passing the baton to since he was going off shift.
We had questions about the Tiger Tofu, the Walnut "Chorizo" Meat, and the quinoa so she brought out samples of each, making our choices easier. All in all, I felt like the service was really good.
The food was a mixed bag: my friend’s Vegetarian Salad with homemade Hummus was really good! My tacos, while pretty, were just not quite there.
I loved the “chorizo” (base of walnuts), but the tacos were dry, just missing something. I asked for the cashew cheese thinking I could drizzle it on, but it was...bad.
There you have it.
It really missed the mark in all ways.
It was basically another version of hummus (very similar texture).
It only made it drier.
And the flavor was...forgettable. I’m not sure even what to suggest as a remedy.
In Colorado, I’d ask for a good salsa; here what’s available is hot sauce.
Perhaps a vegan crema? At the end of the day, we paid almost $40 (not including tax or tip) for not much – and in my case, not great – food.
That’s a theme in many of the reviews if you take the time to read them: very, very pricey.
And the $10 - $20 range that Google gives you to rate the expensiveness of the restaurant is misleading.
