Here are some new additions to VRG’s guide:

Green Culture

1420 Seven Springs Blvd., Trinity, FL 34655

Green Culture is an eco- and health-conscious cafe and juice bar, with organic coffee, cold-pressed juice blends, and smoothies. But that’s not all! Try their sweet acai or dragon fruit bowls for breakfast, or their savory harvest bowls for lunch or dinner! Is a sandwich more your speed? They have Beyond burgers, Impossible burgers, and their own house-made patties too! That’s only the half of it, but why not just go to their website to see the rest? Better yet, stop by yourself!

Mimi & Jones

5149 Park Ave., Montreal, QC H2V 4G3 Canada

Mimi & Jones is a classic diner, but 100% vegan. They have a simple but delicious menu covering items like burgers, nuggets, Caesar salad, and milkshakes. And don’t forget the house-made ravioli! Unlike the traditional diner, however, they also have a full bar!

Mugi

793 Bathurst St., Toronto, ON M5S 1Z5 Canada

Sometimes it can be tricky to eat Thai food as a vegan, with the ubiquity of fish sauce and other animal-based ingredients. But not at Mugi! Here you can get authentic Thai classics like green curry, massaman curry, larb (made with jackfruit), mango salad, and more! They’re not just accommodating, they’re all vegan. Try them today for a tasty, no-hassle dining experience!

Nourishmoi Power Foods

229 Lakeshore Rd. East, Mississauga, ON L5G 1G8 Canada

Nourishmoi Power Foods aims to provide fresh, flavorful, and nutritious foods. That doesn’t mean you can’t get a veggie burger if you want one! But with options like their Waikiki poke, Thai peanut bowl, or ko chang salad, this is not your typical vegan dinner. They have lots of gluten-free options as well, plus a full bar, so there’s something for everyone here!

Sweet Rebellion

145 College Ave., Blacksburg, VA 24060

Sweet Rebellion is a vegan and gluten-free bakery, so you know they have something for you! Go to their Instagram to gaze upon their cookies, cakes, pies, scones, brownies, and more. Or go in person to get one for yourself!

Viridescent

5760 State Hwy. 121, Ste. 140, Plano, TX 75024

Are you looking for variety in taste? Viridescent is a unique addition to the Plano, Texas area where the kitchen is not run by a single chef but several visiting chefs. Although they have a fixed menu filled with delightful vegan entrees, desserts and drinks, the rotating-chef concept brings in the variety you may be looking for. Depending on the day you choose to visit, you can treat your taste buds with either a large, veggie burger or a fully loaded taco or both. Better still, surprise yourself on a Sunday for brunch and order their vegan eggs or pancakes served with homemade nut butter! And finally, do they have desserts to satiate one’s sweet tooth? Yes and, again, based on the “visiting chef” concept. Their vegan ice-creams and frozen desserts, some topped with a beautiful red, button-like rose or two, are catered by Ajae’s Scoops, a local food truck.

Viva La Vegan Tacos

10709 Balboa Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 91344

Viva La Vegan Tacos is a 100% vegan taco cart with a permanent location outside of Bow Tiki Tattoo parlor in Granada Hills. For just $3 a taco, you can choose (or mix and match) between BBQ or southwest style jackfruit, cactus, squash, sweet potato, mushroom, or cauliflower. They come topped with soy-free vegannaise, cilantro, cabbage, grilled peppers and onions, and a choice of salsa. Everything is soy-free, gluten-free, MSG-free, and free of hydrogenated oils or canola oil. Try their homemade fresh juices too. They have limited hours, so check their Instagram before you go!

Well+Fed Louisiana

678 Egan St., Shreveport, LA 71101

Well+Fed is a 100% vegan and gluten-free organic café that specializes in cold-pressed juices and healthy smoothies/smoothie bowls. Their food menu includes seasonal salads, and nutrition-packed sandwiches, like their chickpea salad, spicy chickpea burger, or hummus and veggie. They also have toast with toppings such as hummus, avocado, vegan cream cheese, carrot lox, and PB+J. Weekly specials feature everything from tacos and nachos to poke bowls.

Whipped Urban Dessert Lab

103 N. 3rd St., Brooklyn, NY 11249

Whipped Urban Dessert Lab is bringing its oat milk-based soft serve to NYC! The shop ran by women and minorities provides only oat-based soft serve. They pride themselves on putting innovative spins on regular desserts while providing high-quality foods and avoiding the use of preservatives and artificial colors and flavors. Stop by and try their original vanilla sweet cream on its own, or top it off with one of their natural crumb coats or sauces. You can also enjoy their soft serve fusions, like their coffee waffle crunch, or chocolate peanut butter pretzel.
