Map
An all-vegan Winter Park favorite and the perfect intro for skeptics. The crispy buffalo ‘chicken’ wrap and fresh-pressed juices win everyone over, and the patio is lovely on a Florida evening.
Ethos Vegan Kitchen
Orlando's beloved all-vegan diner tucked inside the Market on South food hall. The mac and cheese, jackfruit nachos, and weekend brunch are legendary in the local plant-based scene.
Dixie Dharma (Market on South)
A Black-owned, all-vegan Caribbean gem in historic Eatonville. The jerk ‘chicken,’ hearty rice bowls, and house-made dairy-free ice cream are comfort food that just happens to be plant-based.
DaJen Eats
The 100% vegan bakery behind Orlando's best plant-based desserts. The Buffunno cinnamon roll and the cookies are so good that nobody believes they're completely dairy- and egg-free.
Valhalla Bakery
A cozy all-vegan Vietnamese kitchen in the Mills 50 district. The pho, crispy spring rolls, and lemongrass ‘chicken’ are so satisfying you won't miss the meat for a second.
Veggie Garden
A budget-friendly all-vegan spot on Colonial Drive serving generous Asian-fusion plates. The pho, spring rolls, and faux-meat noodle bowls make it a reliable, wallet-friendly go-to.
Loving Hut Orlando
A plant-based cafe in the Milk District known for vibrant bowls and golden-milk lattes. The all-day vegan brunch and fresh smoothies make it a feel-good favorite any day of the week.
The Sanctum Cafe
A charming vegetarian cafe and tea shop in College Park with a huge loose-leaf tea selection. The vegan-friendly sandwiches, salads, and quirky gift shop make it a relaxing lunch stop.
Infusion Tea
A quirky Milk District institution loved for creative sandwiches and a strong vegetarian and vegan lineup. The tofu banh mi and the mac-and-cheese sandwich are cult favorites, and it's open late.
Pom Pom's Teahouse & Sandwicheria
An all-vegan sandwich shop with a cult following and a sense of humor. The hot-pressed subs and the ‘meatball’ sub prove plant-based comfort food can absolutely compete with the real thing.
Leguminati
An institution for pure-vegetarian South Indian food on OBT. The crispy dosas, fluffy idli, and thali platters are fully vegetarian (much of it vegan) and deeply, authentically flavorful.
Woodlands Pure Vegetarian Indian
Downtown Orlando's beloved scoop shop where every flavor is dairy-free and vegan. The rich, creamy coconut-based ice cream comes in rotating flavors, and you'd never guess there's no dairy in sight.
The Greenery Creamery
An all-vegan doughnut shop near UCF turning out giant, creative doughnuts and ‘chicken’ sandwiches. The lemon-blueberry and maple-style doughnuts are absolutely worth the drive across town.
Valkyrie Doughnuts
A longtime I-Drive Indian favorite with a deep vegetarian and vegan section. The chana masala, saag, and fresh-baked naan make a satisfying meatless feast the whole family enjoys.
