Anthem Vegan
2611 El Cajon Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92104
Anthem Vegan has been a beloved farmers market vendor since 2013, now they have a restaurant in trendy North Park. Chef Troy Oftedal has created a menu similar to their farmers market audience with burgers, wraps, tacos, salads, homemade jackfruit-based dishes, and award-winning chili. All of their food is nut free, uses non-GMO soy, and is gluten-free. Anthem Vegan has plans to expand into more upscale dinner options while offering beer and wine. An additional expansion of an attached deli and market will sell their house made aiolis as well as their favorite plant-based meats and cheeses. Despite the feverous crowds, a large parking lot and take out mobile app should allow Anthem Vegan to expand without an issue.
