Pure Vegan Café, 716 Slash Pine Dr., Cary, NC 27519 and 8369 Creedmoor Rd., Raleigh, NC 27613

Inspired by both a loved one’s illness and Ayurvedic principles, the café’s founder aims to bring healthy (and tasty) options to her community.

Both locations offer the extensive menu, complete with breakfast items such as gluten-free waffles and avocado toast; burgers and fries; chick’n sandwiches; and, of course, juices, shots & elixirs, smoothies, and acai bowls. There is even a kids’ menu. Whether you keep coming back for your favorite item or you want to sample all the offerings over time, Pure Vegan Café will likely become a regular stop on your restaurant rotation.

Sea Salt and Cinnamon, 100 S. Walnut St., Muncie, IN 47305

This vegan bakery offers both sweet and savory items. A variety of sweet items are available including macarons, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, and pies.

Custom cakes can also be designed for weddings, birthdays, and other events. In addition to their storefront, the restaurant sells items at farmer’s markets and partner locations.

Sharks Cove, 3612 SE 82nd Ave., Portland, OR 97266

Bringing tropical vibes from Hawaii, Sharks Cove food truck serves up education about shark conservation (especially on their Instagram @sharkscove_pdx) alongside a rich array of flavors.

They also have sample platters available and special weekend brunch menus. Many clearly marked gluten free options.

The Hardcore Hippie, Wilmington, NC (location varies)

Often found at local breweries and festivals, The Hardcore Hippie takes over the non-vegan NachoFalt’s truck once a week (carefully cleaning and using separate knives etc. to avoid cross-contamination), to serve up, healthy food at affordable prices. Constantly experimenting with their menu, check social media to see their latest creations. Options on a given day might include the likes of hummus and chickpea shawarma wraps; curries; Quinoa salad; or sandwiches with coconut bacon, arugula, tomato and garlic cashew cream.
