Ok, made three phone calls:
Acacia is closed today. The menu lists a fruit plate and a citrus sald, but I'll try them again tomorrow just for the heck of it.
Cafe Nola has a dish of quinoa cabbage rolls that's vegan, as well as an accommodating vegetarian/vegan-sympathizer chef. They prefer groups of our size to make a reservation.
Cacique has veggie fajitas that qualify as vegan, and they would also want a reservation to be made."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

The only one of those I've been to is Cafe Nola and I've recently become addicted to their grilled cheese sandwich and pumpkin ginger soup. Nola's kind of the new "hot, hip place" in Frederick, though the owners have had a presence downtown for a while through their old place, Downtime Cafe.
Zen mentioned Cacique as one of her favorites. Both it and Acacia have been in Frederick for a while, and both are mentioned frequently over at the FrederickMarylandOnline blog as excellent spots.
We probably wouldn't go wrong with any of the three, really. So, are we now aiming for noon for chow time? That would mean meeting between 11:30-11:45 to give time to get downtown, get parked, and wander to wherever we're going."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road?
