Top Picks

Grassroots Natural Market

Five Points · $ · deli, juice

A natural foods market in Five Points with vegan options at the deli counter and fresh juice. A grocery with a vegan lunch rather than a vegan restaurant, and listed as exactly that.

Homespun Kitchen

Riverside · $$ · bowls, breakfast

Scratch cooking on Oak Street with vegan and gluten-free built into the menu rather than bolted onto it. A vegan order here is a normal order, which is a different thing from a substitution.

Murray Hillbilly

Murray Hill · $$ · southern, comfort food

Plant-based Southern comfort food on Edgewood Avenue, run in its own words as a local vegan establishment. A fully vegan kitchen, so there is nothing to ask about and nothing to substitute.

Sweet Theory Baking Co.

Riverside · $ · bakery, desserts

Entirely vegan since 2012, on King Street in Riverside. The distinction that matters here is fully vegan kitchen rather than vegan option, and this is the former.

The Walrus
