It’s not easy being a vegetarian.

That’s why some local diners, like Bluebird Café on East Clayton Street, provide an accommodating menu for the vegetarian at heart.

Windows make up two walls of the locally owned restaurant, giving it a bright atmosphere to compliment a colorful mural painted on a third wall.

Open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Sunday, the café’s busiest times are usually on weekends, said server Allan Massman.

Nestled at the end of Clayton Street since 1975, this cozy café offers a variety of international cuisine.

“The Tofu Delight is very popular,” Massman said. “It’s sautéed tofu and vegetables with cheese melted on top.”

Specializing in Indian cooking, the restaurant offers a wealth of Indian entrees for around $6.

It also offers an impressive list of breakfast entrees, such as omelets and breakfast burritos for about the same price.

A brunch menu features extra dishes, including specialty omelets, which changes daily.

For under $3 customers may also choose from additional sides such as biscuits, granola, tofu and Saag — spinach blended with garlic and Indian spices.

For those fellow bluebirds who like breakfast for lunch, Indian cuisine or simply trying new foods, Bluebird Café is worth a taste.
