The next time you’re in Cincinnati, Ohio, you might want to enjoy lunch, dinner, and/or dessert at one of these vegan establishments:

Harmony Plant Fare Findlay Market, 1801 Race St., Cincinnati, OH 45202

Vegan/deli. Harmony Plant Fare filled a spot in Findlay Market to provide the local community with a New York and New Jersey-inspired deli – that was also vegan! They make all of their vegan cheeses and meats themselves, and aim to mirror a traditional delicatessen. Some of their hot sandwich options include grilled cheese, turkey and Havarti, and gyro with muhammara. Additionally, they offer a variety of cold sandwiches and also sell orders of vegan “cheese” and “meat”!

Like Mom’s Only Vegan Findlay Market, 1801 Race St., Cincinnati, OH 45202

Vegan/bakery. Like Mom’s Only Vegan offers vegan cupcakes and cookies via delivery and in Findlay Market! The customer can mix and match their favorite icings and cake types for cupcakes or choose from the various types of cookies (which use applesauce instead of eggs). Three generations of women work together to produce these baked sweets that the company hopes will change the stereotype around vegan desserts.

Loving Hut 6227 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45213

Vegan/American. Loving Hut is an international vegan restaurant chain with the slogan, “Be Veg. Go Green.
