VEGAN AT OATMEALSNY- NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

So. Oatmeal. Pretty basic if you ask me. I mean, I literally think cavemen ate oatmeal. Aint nothin special bout it. BUT, some really, smart, creative people decided to take something REALLY basic and make it REALLY hipster. Honestly, that takes skill. Because, if you think about it, the opposite of basic IS hipster. Making oatmeal “hipster” is as impressive as someone turning me into a supermodel. Good luck with that one

So, we decided to take a trip to the only bar that you don’t need a fake ID for. The oatmeal bar. It’s literally like the Chipotle of burritos, the Pinkberry of froyo, the Uma Temakeria of sushi cones. You pick your oatmeal, your toppings (they have every topping ever), and then stuff your face. And I’ve never been a fan of oatmeal, but this oatmeal was out of this world. Delicious.

The lady making Olie’s oatmeal bowl, rushed her, so she didnt get to order all the topping she wanted. She just had time to put bananas, peanut butter, and brown sugar on hers but realized the peanut butter wasn’t vegan and then was left with basic oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar on top and didnt eat it because it didn’t taste yummy at all (i mean, it was pretty basic). On MY oatmeal, i put carob chips, raspberries, pecans, maple syrup, and brown sugar and it was GREAT!

The people there aren’t that vegan smart (like they weren’t sure what was vegan or not, so just stick with the safe stuff) and they rush you, so make sure to hold your ground and order all the damn toppings you want! After all, you are paying for it. Anyways, check it out! The store is so tiny and cute, and the oatmeal with the best toppings are SO YUMMY!
