Best Vegan Restaurants in Carmel Mountain

"When you’re seeking a quick bite to eat, without giving up anything in regards to quality and test, Trilogy Sanctuary is an excellent choice. Stop by this rooftop cafe for organic and vegan favorites, ranging from smoothies to grain bowls and everything in between. While you’re eating, you’ll enjoy ocean views and the cool breeze."

"Hit up this hip spot for vegan fare in a quirky-cool atmosphere. Menu highlights include char-grilled seitan skewers, beer batter palm tacos, and cookie dough truffles, all served alongside creative cocktails and local craft beers. The edgy design and concept have been described as “trailblazing” by Revolver magazine, which wrote a lengthy profile on the restaurant upon its opening."

"When it comes to Kindred, you can forget your preconceived notions of vegan restaurants. The South Park spot features killer cocktails, filling food, and an edgy design, complete with a coffered ceiling, a white-marble bar, and a demon-wolf-head..."

"This South Park rebel makes its mark with the rarely-seen pairing of top-notch craft cocktails with a chef-powered, vegan menu. Add a dose of seriously eye-catching design and you’ve got a winner."

"Upscale in decor but modest in price, Plumeria sits just at the very north end of Park Blvd. Featuring a menu based around South Asian cuisine, with an emphasis on Thai food, it’s the perfect place for a savory, spicy meal with menu items that eschew fish sauce and other animal products, save for an optional egg in a few instances. As with most South Asian food, Plumeria leans heavily on the spices, though these are adjustable to your taste."

"Plumeria offers delicious vegetarian and vegan Thai food (with an optional egg in some dishes). As an added bonus, they don’t use MSG and they only use organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free tofu that is made locally. Plumeria is located on Park Blvd. in the heart of University Heights."

"This University Heights restaurant serves plant-based dishes inspired by Thai cuisine. Optionally, you can order eggs with some of the noodle dishes. Plumeria’s menu offers filling and delicious lunch or dinner options."

"With a menu based on the principals of Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet, this relaxed eco-chic concept caters to a variety of diets, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Lunch and dinner menu standouts include the bison burger, sweet potato hash and kale crunch salad with avocado and grapefruit. Libations, including handcrafted cocktails like the ginger margarita and vegan Thai piña colada, plus organic wines are also not to be missed."

"In addition to sandwiches, salads (Mediterranean quinoa, seared albacore) and pizzas (Brussels sprout & wild mushroom, house-made chicken sausage), you’ll find perfectly portioned entrees, including a pan roasted chicken and Scottish steelhead salmon on the menu at this health-conscious café. Stay refreshed with tonics, teas and sodas like the Honey Bee Ginger Beer or enjoy a lunchtime tipple with a Citrus Skinny Margarita"

"Not all pop-up food retailers find the success necessary to graduate to a brick-and-mortar, but then again not all pop-ups feature bites as decadent nor as memorable as Maya’s Cookies. Born out of the desire to find vegan cookies that passed the taste, texture, and aroma test, owner Maya Madsen got to work crafting what would become the nation’s largest and most successful female and Black-owned vegan cookie retailer. Flavors vary from White Chocolate Espresso to Birthday Cake and Brown Sugar Butterscotch to Classic Chocolate Chip with several gluten-free options."

"What began as a way to earn extra income to put her sons through college grew into a beloved San Diego company that pleases anyone with a sweet treat, vegan or not. Maya Madsen, founder of Maya’s Cookies, wants her customers to know that she and her crew welcome questions and love hearing about their experience with the decadent goodies. “We focus on the quality of the ingredients and everything is artisanal and hand-scooped,” Madsen said."

"Maya now has the number one Black-owned and women-owned vegan cookie company in the country. Since June 2020, when Black Lives Matter supporters began showing her some love, her business took off and she now has her own storefront in Grantville/Mission Valley East. People drive from far and wide to buy her award-winning cookies that she’s been selling at local farmer’s markets since 2015."

"Acai bowls are a huge thing out west, but a lot of the world hasn’t even heard of them before. It’s basically a smoothie bowl comprised of acai or pitaya, or both if you’re lucky. Fruit is piled high on top along with nuts, coconut shavings, peanut butter, almond butter, granola, and the list goes on and on."

"Next up is Roseville-Fleet Ridge's Northside Shack, located at 1255 Rosecrans St., with Yelpers giving the breakfast and brunch spot, which offers juice, smoothies and açai bowls, five stars out of 557 reviews."
