Finding vegan food is a hassle. But through my search to find vegan-friendly restaurants I found some gems. These are a few of my personal favorite off-campus vegan restaurants.
This tiny cafe is entirely vegan, offering breakfast items, sandwiches, platters, salads, and even desserts! I sometimes go here in between classes to grab a bite and do some work.
Favorite Menu Item: Breakfast Sandwich
I go here when I want to feel like I’m healthy and have my life together!
Favorite Menu Item: Custom Green Bowl
This is a little further away, about a 20min drive, you can get there by bus, though! This diner offers one of the largest vegan menus for a non-vegan place I’ve seen. This is a great spot to go to with omni friends, they have large comfy booths and a friendly atmosphere.
Favorite Menu Item: Cheesesteak-less Hoagie
If this place was a little closer I would eat here way too often! Another bonus is everything is entirely vegan & gluten-free. They also offer desserts and smoothies!
Favorite Menu Item: Buffalo Cauliflower Sandwich
This is another entirely vegan spot and the best falafel I’ve ever had! Be sure to try one of their Tahini shakes.
Favorite Menu Item: Falafel Sandwich
HipCityVeg is a can’t miss spot in the city! I went here way too often during my internship this summer. I found that the quality was much better outside of normal lunch hours.
Favorite Menu Item: HipCity Ranch Sandwich
This is on the more expensive side, but it is well worth it! They have small plates meant for sharing. It’s a great spot for a date or to hang with close friends as while embracing ambient lighting and intimate seating.
Favorite Menu Item: The Ricotta
