Vegan Pizza

Vegan cheese has come a long way, and these Minneapolis pizzerias prove it. Whether you want a blistered coal-fired crust, a Detroit-style square, or a Neapolitan with house-made vegan sausage, there is a plant-based pie here for you.

3 spots

Burgers

A vegan burger should not be an afterthought, and these Minneapolis spots prove it. From a fully plant-based burger bar in Northeast to tempeh and black-bean patties to the inevitable vegan Juicy Lucy, this is where to bite in. Several are great for mixed groups where not everyone eats plant-based.

Ethiopian & East African

Few cuisines are as vegan-friendly by tradition as Ethiopian. The fasting platter, built around injera with lentils, collards, and spiced vegetables, is plant-based by default. These Twin Cities kitchens do it best.

3 spots

Indian, Nepali & Himalayan

Indian and Himalayan cooking gives vegans some of the most flavorful options in the city. Think creamy dal, spiced chickpeas, and vegetable momos. These spots make it easy to eat plant-based without sacrificing depth.

Asian Restaurants

From Thai green curry to Vietnamese pho to vegetable dumplings, Asian kitchens across the Twin Cities offer some of the best vegan eating in town. These are the spots that handle tofu, mock meats, and vegetable dishes with care.

Bakeries & Desserts

A great vegan dessert should not feel like a compromise. These Minneapolis bakeries and sweet shops turn out donuts, layer cakes, cookies, and even dairy-free ice cream that happen to be plant-based, plus dedicated vegan and gluten-free options for every craving.

6 spots

Coffee Shops & Cafes

Plant milk is standard at these Twin Cities cafes, but the best ones go further with vegan pastries, hearty breakfasts, and all-day plant-based plates. Good for a quick oat latte or a long laptop session.

8 spots

Breakfast & Brunch

Breakfast and brunch are some of the easiest meals to veganize, and these Minneapolis spots nail it. Expect tofu scrambles, fluffy plant-based pancakes, hearty hash, and breakfast platters that hold their own next to any classic diner spread, several served all day.

Comfort & Soul Food

When you want something hearty, these are the kitchens to know. Plant-based mac and cheese, crispy fried bites, and soul food classics prove vegan food can be every bit as comforting as the originals.

Juice Bars & Healthy Bowls

For the days you want something fresh and fast, these juice bars and bowl shops deliver. Cold-pressed juices, smoothie bowls, and loaded salads make a plant-based lunch effortless.

St. Paul Spots

Minneapolis gets the vegan spotlight, but St. Paul holds its own. From fully plant-based comfort food to vegan-friendly Ethiopian, Nepali, and fine dining, the capital city is worth crossing the river for.

Gluten-Free & Vegan

Doubling up on dietary needs makes eating out harder, so this list pulls together the Twin Cities spots that take gluten-free plant-based diners seriously. Some run dedicated gluten-free kitchens, others clearly label which vegan dishes are safe. Always confirm cross-contact with your server.

Catering & Group Orders

Feeding a crowd without leaving plant-based guests with a side salad starts here. These Twin Cities restaurants offer vegan catering, large group orders, or event trays, from butcher-counter spreads to full hot buffets. Lead times and minimums vary, so call ahead for events.
