Hexenbelle's Falafel

Tastemaker
Jan. 18, 2025

Still hanging in there with your New Year’s resolution to eat better? Head to Traverse City’s Hexenbelle, where the menu centers on vegan and vegetarian dishes. Self-described as “new Arabic comfort food,” Hexenbelle is known for their coffee and morning eats, but we like to go in for lunch and order the Falafel ($12). Think: deep-fried fritters tucked in pita with pickled turnips, cucumbers, yogurt, and an herb tahini sauce. You can even swap the yogurt for hummus to make it a vegan meal! We recommend enjoying your falafel alongside a Damascus Gate coffee (featuring notes of rose, black cardamom, saffron, and clove), and be sure to check out the pastry case to see what’s fresh out of the oven. Find Hexenbelle at 144 Hall St Ste 107 in Traverse City. hexenbelle.square.site
