Go get their Tofu egg sandwich 🔥🔥I’m a sucker for vegetarian and vegan food. I’m glad I found this place in IC. I loved their peanut sauce tofu bowl. I tried the wings, but they didn’t impress me much—felt like I was eating deep-fried falafel. But the taste of the tofu peanut sauce bowl was beyond amazing. Also, their black bean soup was good too. The person working there in the evening has a pleasant personality and is very friendly. Overall, it's great! Read less

The gluten free bread is made locally, and possibly the best I’ve had (and I’ve tried many)! It was not flaky and didn’t break apart after taking a few bites. Got a side of the Seasonal Vegetables and sweet potato fries. Fries had a nice seasoning, but mine were a bit undercooked and not crispy. Very nice, relaxed vibe in the restaurant with outdoor seating next to a small water creek for nice scenery. I am not vegan, but do have a gluten and dairy intolerance. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful to cater to dietary restrictions. Read less

This is a great place for ALL, but especially for vegans. They've got a dedicated menu guaranteeing quality and delicious food experiences each and every time you visit. Additionally, the specials of the day are usually very worthwhile and flavorful. The icing on the cake is that the Trumpet Blossom has a well stocked bar. If you visit Iowa City, you're doing yourself a great disservice by not stopping by and enjoying a meal! Read less

I was in town for work for the day and had some time to kill so I googled vegan restaurants and Trumpet Blossom came up. The pictures looked awesome. So I went down for lunch. I got the mango-habanero wings and a reuben. Both completely vegan. And both completely delicious. Fast friendly service. Will definitely be back next time I am in Iowa City. Highly recommend.

This was a welcomed sight for a starving vegan traveler making their way westward as much of the rest of Iowa is a desert for quality vegan faire. The food here was whole food plant based - not merely a frozen beyond meat burger marketed up. The ambiance was great - very cute place. Limited paid street parking. Inside space was ample and the bar was beautiful - but I didn't have any drinks. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Played great music. Overall a very enjoyable stop. I gave 4 stars because while the food was very tasty and fresh, I do feel the portions were small for the price. Maybe it's because I traveled across the vegan food desert and was hoping to stuff my gob and my expectations were misaligned, but I had a $16 falafel burger with a side of soup and I left hungry. I just don't think I should leave hungry a1fter spending $16 before gratuity. And, again, maybe I'm not used to the local economy. Either way, as long as youre hip going in info highly recommend this place. It was cute, friendly, and very tasty. Read less
