Vegan evidence

Historical San Rafael handoff received 2026-09-18 (Pasted text(20260918-170924).txt; source libfile_d3f78868ae7081918e277bf4db4ccf2c). Original research/check dates and direct links were absent. Assistant assessments are not user visit or taste feedback. Historical claim: Historical watch-list: strong neighborhood culture but weak vegan breakfast evidence. Qualification queue: Verify a specific worthwhile vegan dish or retain unresolved watch-list status. 2026-09-18 qualification: Specific breakfast verification lead; branch identity supported by merchant ordering page, vegan meal unqualified. Next: Seek explicit tofu-for-egg substitution and dairy-free cooking/bread/sauce confirmation from accessible primary menu. Keep lead, not a breakfast recommendation. Sources: https://order.online/store/garden-cafe-san-rafael-1180161 — Merchant branch address; tofu extra language; online ordering window7am–2:45pm, no weekly hours or explicit vegan meal.

DoorDash Commerce merchant menu lists tofu as a paid extra in egg-dish, omelet and scramble sections, plus Mexican Avocado Toast. This improves the handoff's generic breakfast lead but does not establish that tofu replaces eggs, that cooking is dairy-free, or which breads/sides/sauces are vegan. Do not infer Garden Scramble is vegan. Oat/coconut milk alone is not sufficient food qualification. Recorded research; limitations are retained above.
