I tried to visit the Yabba Pot on St. Paul Street in Baltimore, only to find out that they had closed that location. My family made our way to their new location and were really looking forward to great vegan food. Everything we ordered was from a case of prepared foods that they put together in a large salad bowl. Nothing needed to be heated and nothing needed to be prepared. It just needed to be spooned into the bowl. Even though there was only one other table of customers there, it took half an hour to get our food. We decided to give the restaurant another chance a week later. This visit was more of a joke than anything else. My husband ordered a burrito that had refried beans, greens, and salsa in it. Only after he started eating it, he realized there were large chunks of spicy tofu in it and no beans. When he asked the server about it, she said, "Oh. They told me they ran out of beans, so they put tofu in instead." Now, I am of the opinion that she should have mentioned that to see if he still wanted it before bringing it, or at the very least mentioned the change. I ordered their weekend breakfast meal that was supposed to come with scrambled tofu and fresh, seasonal fruit. The tofu was some sort of very chewy, processed stuff that did not resemble tofu at all. The seasonal fruit was an orange slice. Again, more disappointment. We then tried ordering my daughter a lentil burger, but the were out. So, we got her a fake fish patty instead, but made sure the server knew that she would only eat it if they brought her some of the vegenaise that she had last week. The server told my husband that there would be two patties. Well, I had to ask again for the patty after fifteen minutes of waiting. Then, my husband saw it take it from a freezer and put it in the microwave. My daughter then got one patty. When my husband asked where the second was, the server said, "Oh, they told me it comes with just one." So, again, she brought us something different than what we asked for without apologizing or checking with us first. She also brought some sort of onion sauce instead of vegenaise. When we asked about the vegenaise, she said, "Oh, we're out." Once again, my husband said we only wanted the patty with vegenaise. On top of everything else, there were multiple items from the small menu that they did not have, including smoked tofu, mango juice, rice, and banana creme. As much as I was looking forward to having a vegan restaurant to frequent, I do not think we will be going back to this one. The service is slow, the selection is not as advertised, and we did not get one apology for our visit.
