Strong Hearts Buffalo, 295 Niagara St., Buffalo, NY 14201

Launching from the original Strong Hearts in Syracuse, Strong Hearts Buffalo opened in Summer 2022, on the city’s west side. Take advantage of the free street parking and then be prepared to enjoy comfort food that reminds us that vegans can have our cake—and our burgers, fries, and milkshakes—and eat them, too. Whether you are seeking comfort in its truest sense—think Loaded Fries, Mac N’ Cheese, or a Wild West Beyond Burger—or you are grabbing some greens in a Thai Tofu or a Summer Spinach salad, Strong Hearts Buffalo has something for everyone. You may very well be distracted from the food, however, by the number of milkshake options. It is no wonder they need a “Master of Milkshakes” on staff, to serve up their tasty concoctions including Orange Julius, Maple Vanilla Oreo, and Cookie Dough Espresso.

The Humble Peach, 174 N. Pleasant St., Amherst, MA 01002

This cute bakery and café in Amherst Center offers smoothies, baked goods, sandwiches, and even vegan dog treats (with flax, peanut butter, oats and carrot), all lovingly prepared from organic vegan ingredients and local produce. Stop in for a fancy lemonade with fresh squeezed lemons and local maple syrup or a tea, smoothie or matcha latte, paired with soup, focaccia, or a sandwich (such as the carrot lox with organic smoky carrots, capers, dill, lemon, and organic house tofu cream cheese), and then give in to the temptation of a cookie, muffin, tiramisu, or one of the daily baked specials available to view on Instagram @thehumblepeach

Vibe Gastropub 131 Hay St Suite 101, Fayetteville, NC 28301
