Coronet Cafe
"The Coronet Cafe has a late-night menu with an amazing vegan burger simply called The Coronet Burger. This is my go-to vegan burger to satisfy the itch for a vegan burger that tastes like a real burger. It's an Impossible pattie cooked correctly (thank you) with red onion jam, dijonnaise, and a pickle on top, served with the most delicious fries and kewpie mayo. Hold the Welsh cheddar to make it fully vegan."
