Mellow Mushroom has long be heralded by vegans and vegetarians as one of the few places to munch on tempeh subs or get a tempeh or tofu topped pizza. Up to recently those pizzas and subs had to be cheeseless for vegans due to the casein in the soy cheese they used. Now Mellow Mushroom is beginning to use casein-free vegan cheeses although the only locations in Tennessee are in Knoxville and Murfreesboro.
The following is a list of locations presently using casein-free soy cheese:
- Murfreesboro, Tennessee
- Conyers, Georgia
- Carrollton, Georgia
- Raleigh, North Carolina
- Durham, North Carolina
- Columbia, South Carolina
- Greenville, South Carolina
- Knoxville, Tennessee
- Douglasville, Georgia
- Hiram, Georgia
- Northlake, Georgia
- Lexington, Kentucky
- Decatur, Georgia
- Fayetteville, Arkansas
- Spartanburg, South Carolina
- Charelston, South Carolina
- Austin, Texas
If your location does not carry the casein-free alternative they can be persuaded! Just ask! If you do get vegan cheese at a location not listed above please let me know so I can add it to the list.
