Hey, vegans and friends: Bean now serving brunch

Bean now serves Sunday brunch, with a menu that ranges from brunch bowls (scrambled tofu, cheesy grits, home fries, housemade sausage, carrot bacon and a biscuit) to fried tofu fingers and waffles and more. There's also a vegan artisanal cheese plate (yes, in the previous sentence, please read "cheesy" with air quotes). Choices for the plate: brick, pepper jack, brie, smoky cheddar, chipotle cheddar, brie with truffle oil, smoked gouda -- all are soy-based.
