One World Cafe   

Even if you're not a vegetarian, One World Cafe should have something that appeals to you. The cafe, directly across from the Johns Hopkins University, draws heavily from the student body and the older Birkenstock crowd. The atmosphere is cozy, informal yet spacious, more like a coffeehouse than a restaurant. Indeed, there's a good selection of specialty coffees and teas, and, unlike many more-uptight veggie places, One World has a fully stocked bar. Soothing Mediterranean earth tones predominate and it's a relaxing place to read the paper over a leisurely brunch. Outdoor seating, under some leafy trees, is available. The food is filling and satisfying--and all vegetarian (including vegan) except for some fish dishes. The black bean burrito is huge, spicy and irresistible, and the meatless Philly cheese steak is a dining adventure. Try the hearty vegetarian chili and splurge on a Chocolate Sin (peanut butter shortbread smothered in chocolate) for dessert.
