Eureka Compass Vegan Food in St. Paul’s Midway neighborhood is merging with Evan’s Organic Eatery, which serves the downtown St. Paul skyway lunch crowd.

Eureka owner Colin Anderson said he’ll be starting in the kitchen at Evan’s on Monday. Saturday is the last day Eureka Compass (629 Aldine St., St. Paul) will operate as is. The spot will eventually become a vegan pizzeria, which Anderson said makes sense since it was a pizza joint before he took it over.

As for Evan’s Organic Eatery (56 E. Sixth St., St. Paul; 651-440-9611; organiceatery.com), the menu will be switching over to 100 percent vegan. The eatery had been doing about 70 percent of its business selling vegan sandwiches, salads and soups, and owners Patrick Schuna and Leonard McQuen are vegan.

Anderson will bring his trademark vegan baked goods — from croissants to pop-tarts to muffins and scones — to the skyway spot as well as more homemade vegan “meat” options and even Anderson’s own cashew cream cheese.
