I went to Interim Cafe (Santa Monica) for the first time in a while and had an unpleasant experience with the owner, which made me not want to return. He overheard me inquiring about a meal free-of or low-in soy and he really got on the defensive, literally laughing as he said (in a mocking tone) "you're a vegan who doesn't eat soy?" When I asked him about carrying Daiya and explained its popularity he said it wasn't worth it, that his soy cheese was better, and then he walked away. Since I wasn't interested in having a salad, I ended up choosing a tempeh sandwich and the Chocolate Salvation, and he was sure to come back to pipe in that both had soy, as if to prove a point. In hind sight I should have walked out without ordering anything, but I was hungry and low on time.
