Black Owned cafe known for vegan, seafood moving to Lehigh Valley Mall

Almost Vegan Pescatarian Cafe, which opened in July 2020 along West Liberty Street in Allentown PA, is now moving into space previously housed by Subway next to Macy’s. Anthony Alexander of Allentown owns the restaurant with his wife, Nadia Alexander. They closed the city location on Dec. 1. The Alexanders wanted a spot with more foot traffic, Anthony Alexander said.

The couple decided to open the business when Anthony Alexander said they always had a difficult time finding dishes at other eateries based on their dietary needs. While Anthony Alexander is strictly vegan, Nadia Alexander is pescatarian, meaning she will eat fish.

At Almost Vegan Pescatarian, patrons gain needed nutrition while avoiding unhealthy, ultra-processed foods, Anthony Alexander said. The menu spans a variety of pescatarian, vegan and plant-based dishes. Read more here
