Going into Cafe Stellina's old digs on 12th next to La Spiga, Plum, a 100% vegan and organic restaurant, is all set to open tomorrow--this time, for realz. That will assuredly be helpful to any sickly vegans hitting up the Capitol Hill Block Party needing their fix of seitan, tempeh, and quinoa. Plum is the latest venture from Makini Howell of 15th Ave mainstay Hillside Quickie, and plans to be open 7 days a week, starting at 8 a.m. We can't say we'll be stopping by for the food, but the fact that they have a full bar and weekday happy hour is enticing. (Plum's happy hour is 5-7 p.m., with a "coffee happy hour" from 3-5 p.m.) Either the cilantro lime mojito (white rum and chili liquor muddled with fresh cilantro and lime) or the cucumber dill mojito (lemon vodka muddled with fresh cucumbers and dill) sound refreshing for the hot week to come.

Damn you, Cafe Stellina. In the year and a half the restaurant's been open in its new space (the Piston & Ring Building, the same as La Spiga, on 12th Ave just before Union), their business hours have thwarted our attempts to eat there on at least five occasions.
