The Herbivorous Butcher

Best vegan butcher in Minneapolis! The Korean BBQ ribs are absolutely incredible - I didn't expect plant-based meat to taste this authentic. Perfect texture and the marinade is spot on. My non-vegan friends were completely fooled. This place is a game-changer for anyone exploring plant-based eating in the Twin Cities.

The Italian sausage has that perfect snap you'd expect from traditional butcher shop sausages. I use them for pasta, grilling, and pizza. The quality is unmatched - you can tell everything is handcrafted. Worth every penny. If you're in Northeast Minneapolis, this is a must-visit.

As someone who's been vegan for 7 years, The Herbivorous Butcher is my go-to for meal prep. The pepperoni, pastrami, and aged cheddar are staples in my fridge. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Lines can get long on weekends but it moves fast. Pro tip: shop on weekday mornings!

I'm not vegan but my daughter is, so I picked up some items to try. Holy cow (pun intended) - the Italian cold cut sandwich is fantastic! The meats taste real, the cheese melts properly, and the flavors are spot-on. This converted me to buying their products regularly. Highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike.

America's first vegan butcher shop and they set the bar HIGH. Everything is made in-house by the Walch siblings - you can taste the craftsmanship. The aged cheddar is sharp and creamy, melts beautifully on grilled cheese. They ship nationwide but if you're local, definitely visit the shop. The selection is amazing.

Best plant-based deli meats I've ever had. The pastrami is deeply seasoned with the perfect peppery bite - tastes just like NYC deli pastrami. I've been coming here since they opened in 2016. Quality has never wavered. If you're new to vegan eating, start here. You won't miss a thing.
