Looking for vegan food, Vegas to Denton

Heading from Las Vegas to Denton, Texas, starting tomorrow with my vegan friend. Where should we eat...here, Texas and along the way?
are you from denton and just looking for food on the way? if so, you know all this, if not, here are some denton vegan choices.
there's a lot of good, cheap thai food in denton. i can think of 5 different places and they're all good. chopsticks is the old standby, i'm a bigger fan of oriental garden. it's a pretty vegetarian friendly place, despite being in the middle of bbq country. the bar cool beans serves veggie burgers and vegetarian chili tacos (VERY spicy, especially if you're not from around there).
for vegan coffee needs, go to the square hit up the jupiter house - they'll also have some vegan food options (pastries and the like). then head over to recycled books, one of the best used book stores. on your way, you'll pass the two "mini-malls" which are treasures of "antiques" and thrift store finds.

I am not by any stretch a vegetarian or vegan, but while living in Dallas I had the opportunity to eat a few times at Suma Veggie Cafe in Richardson, and it was freakin' delicious.

Charlie Vegas is a Thai joint in Vegas (natch) that's pretty damn tasty even though it has no right to be, and has a ton of vegan food. It's totally one of those strip mall (though in this case, just part of the old downtown a couple blocks away from the old casinos) Thai joints that's a little bit greasy but their Massuman was fantastic and they really knew how to bring the heat.
