“You'll be glad you came in for the seitan nuggets and pad thai, but I was downright delighted at the unexpected dose of enlightenment & entertainment that came with it. My advice: try to come in at an off-time and strike up a convo with the affable owner, a profound fella named Jordan who could pull off a standup career if he decided to close down Col's — but as with the best vegans, his heart is in the mission and he keeps chugging along despite the snafus. (Getting his story of launching & running this place is 3x more interesting than whatever podcast you're currently hooked on).If you manage to come in a bit past 7 on a weeknight, you may also have the luck to get Hannah as your hostess, part-time server and full-time humanitarian, a caring & witty personality I found simpatico to Jordan's.Just visiting Concord, I've been to vegan restaurants in half a dozen states over the past two years and it's easy to cheer for such restaurants, but I found myself particularly wishing good things for the folks behind Col's. Stop in, bring your good vibes, and enjoy the soulful vibes that radiate back your way.Speaking of snafus, their POS was down, and they said "just call us tomorrow to pay." The experience was like dining at a restaurant opened by an old college pal. If I lived in Concord, I'd want to swing by regularly — the combo of good eats, solid mission, and stimulating postprandial chat is hard to beat.“
