3 Dot Dash, 6203 N. Florida Ave., Tampa, FL 33604
Located inside the Jug & Bottle Dept., 3 Dot Dash is notorious for preparing “craveable comfort food from scratch” made entirely from plants! With a wide selection of sandwiches, burgers, fries, and more, you’ll always leave with that warm, satisfied sensation. Some popular menu items include the Buff Mac – house-made fried chick’n cutlet tossed in buffalo sauce, topped with cashew mac, ranch, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickle – and the “No Animal” Style Fries – fried skin on, straight-cut potatoes topped with cashew whiz, grilled onion, and burger sauce. Try a funky twist on traditional mac n’ cheese with The Hot Box – cashew mac n “cheese” topped with Taki battered chick’n bites, chili oil, and sweet pickles.

Shadobeni, 1534 Brighton Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15212
Cozy and cheerfully decorated vegan restaurant offering traditional Trinidadian food. Trinidadian cuisine reflects a centuries-long fusion of East Indian, African, Creole, Chinese, and Western European influences; though not necessarily vegan, an array of street foods popular on the island have been adapted for a vegan diet by the venue’s owners. Be sure to try ShadoBeni’s signature item, doubles, which are turmeric-spiced, fried flatbread topped with curried chickpeas and a variety of sweet and savory toppings (available only on weekends). The eatery always offers two dishes on weekdays that are customizable; dhal puri roti and bowls. Dhal puri roti is a flatbread dusted with split peas and stuffed with curried stewed soya, chickpeas, potatoes, and/or spinach chokra (you can choose up to three fillings) and seasoned with house-made sauces. The bowls are similar, except they have a base of coconut rice and greens. Daily specials are also offered; two examples are pelau (a mix of rice, carrots, pigeon peas and soya stewed in coconut milk, burnt sugar and spices) and turmeric rice with jerk chick-un and sweet peppers. Food can be made without spicy sauces upon request. The menu is rounded out by beverages such as sea moss smoothies, sorrel (hibiscus) drink and hot cocoa, as well as a few house-made desserts. Aside from the ingredients native to Trinidad, the owners of ShadoBeni aim to source as many vegetables and mushrooms from local farmers as possible. To help reduce waste, Worm Return (a nearby composting business) picks up all the food scraps and used serving ware twice a week. Street parking is available.
