A perennial favorite among local vegans and vegetarians, Malvern’s Greyhound Café serves nothing but a plant-based menu. Dig into the impossible burger, a six-ounce patty with the works—lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and chipotle mayonnaise. You won’t even know it’s not beef. The impossible burger also comes as sliders if you want to share—but trust us, you won’t.
