Boardwalk Vegan, 28 N. Manoa Rd., Havertown, PA 19083
The food and atmosphere at Boardwalk Vegan will take you right back to summers on the beach and spark the feeling of excitement you got when walking up and down the boardwalk. This restaurant was created because the owners wanted to eat healthier but didn’t want to give up their love of comfort food, so they took classic dishes found on boardwalks everywhere and made it all vegan. Menu items include Old Bay seasoned Crab Fries, Seitan “chicken” wings, a plethora of pizzas, cheesesteak, burgers, Root Beer Floats, and more. The food here is decadent and nostalgic, but the best part is that it is all plant-based.
EnVegan, 1626 Lake Harbin Rd., Morrow, GA 30260
Located in Publix plaza on Camp Creek pkwy, EnVegan’s mission is to encourage the shift to eating plant-based. They do this by offering smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, spring rolls, Buffalo cauliflower wings, and other appetizers. The food is fresh, clean, and delicious. Head to EnVegan for a morning smoothie, a healthy lunch or dinner, and even for dessert if you’re looking for something sweet.

Pachamama, 4115 N. 19th Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85015
Pachamama offers both traditional Mexican vegan fare as well as more experimental dishes such as the mexiyaki which is a Mexican spin on a Japanese dish. They try to source their ingredients locally from small farms to both support Arizona businesses and ensure quality. Their permanent restaurant allows for dine-in, takeout, and delivery but they also operate a pop-up which serves their dishes at various events. Their pop-ups are also available for catering for private gatherings.
Rad.ish Street Food, 346 East Front St., Ste. #2, Traverse City, MI 49684
The owners of Rad.ish Street Food opened their all-vegan restaurant with the goal of reducing animal cruelty and promoting local farms.

These dishes range from breakfast tacos to their spin on Impossible Burgers to a variety of bagel dishes. Working with 85% local farms, Rad.ish Street Food ensures that their customers are getting quality ingredients while minimizing harm to animals.

They offer all vegan, gluten-free, and organic foods, drinks, and smoothies. Try out their Rooted juice made with beets, carrot, apple, celery, lemon, and ginger, or something more filling like the BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich. For dessert, who wouldn’t want their Lavender Cheesecake Bar?! The feel of the place seems very bright, inviting, and clean.
The Two Dollar Radio Headquarters, 1124 Parsons Ave., Columbus, OH 43206
The Two Dollar Radio Headquarters menu proves to be incredible by their variety of options made 100% from scratch and completely vegan. Check out the Taco Mac and Cheeze Tortuga, Jean Claude Van Randy Burrito with roasted poblano peppers, and the Mexxxy Enchiladas. This small café is located within a bookstore, so the atmosphere and feel is cozy, welcoming, and warm. They describe themselves as a “local indie press,” being family-run and making their food with love.
