Souley Vegan.
I'm sorry, but for sweet potato fries that are a whopping $6.00, they'd better be good. And I admit that the portion size was HUGE. But unfortunately, the fries arrived lukewarm, which quickly became room-temp, and even quicklier (if that's a word) became Cold, with a capital "C."
(apologies for Gross Photo)Instead of your standard fry, the sweet potato fries here are more like circular rounds, ie, the potatoes are not sliced in the traditional rectangular fashion. For me, they were pretty mushy and soggy all around, and very underseasoned. While my companion thought they were "good," I am not going to be as forgiving. I'm sure they would have been much better had they arrived hot, but the service at Souley Vegan is very, very slow, and I'm sure the poor potatoes were sitting in some window for a while (I waited 45 minutes for my takeout order, which did include two sandwiches, but I think that's kind of a wait for such a small order).
If you do go, try the Southern Fried Tofu sandwich, which I think is awesome (I've been there before on a day when the place was practically empty...and still waited almost 40 minutes for a sandwich). For the price, however, I would skip the sweet potato fries.
