Hard Times Cafe is a unique and vibrant spot that exudes community and radicalness. The atmosphere is entrancing, with a 24-hour operation that unfortunately no longer exists. The menu offers vegetarian and vegan options, including gyros sandwiches. The cafe serves great coffee, described as "hypersonic" and "clear" with a high energy boost. While the food quality may not be exceptional, the vibe and atmosphere make up for it.
The menu features an abundance of vegetarian and vegan options for meals, baked goods, and drinks. Customers have enjoyed the vegan Chai tea with oat milk, vegan rancheros, and vegan helter skelter. The biscuits and gravy with homemade sausage on the side have been praised as a standout dish. The cafe also serves an excellent latte and has a fun, punk rock atmosphere. Despite being a cash-only establishment, the food and drinks are described as cheap and delicious, providing great value for money.
