So you may have read my Ten Best Vegan Restaurants in Los Angeles article and be thinking, “why is he writing a second post that sounds very similar?” Well, the reason is, there are so many vegan food places in Los Angeles, but a lot of them don’t fit into the category of vegan restaurant, so I decided to write this article that has a broader topic. With everything from vegan cheese shops to vegan restaurants to vegan donut shops, Los Angeles has a lot more than Ten Best Vegan Restaurants!
Vromage is a 100% vegan cheese shop in West Hollywood! It has by far the best vegan cheese in Los Angeles! The owner Youssef Fakhouri makes everything in house, from vegan gorgonzola to vegan Camembert. My two favorites would have to be the Brie and Truffles, and the Goat Style Cranberry! As well as cheese, he has several dishes, including an open faced sandwich and a cheese platter, which tasted great!

Donut Friend is one the best vegan donut shops in Los Angeles!!! They are my favorite donut shop. My mum and I have never left without buying a dozen, partially because you get 10% off when you buy a dozen! My favorite donut is the Strawberry Lab! One of the main reasons they are so popular, and their donuts taste so good, is because a lot of their donuts are raised donuts, instead of cake donuts, which have traditionally been the vegan donut that people make. They have two locations, their original location in Highland Park, and one in DTLA.

Hugo’s is one of my favorite restaurants! Even though it’s not 100% vegan, they have tons of vegan options! Most of their menu can be veganized or is already vegan, and they have had vegan options for a long time! One of my favorites is their vegan Rueben. They make the deli slices and sauerkraut in-house! Their pancakes and cinnamon swirl French toast is some of the best I’ve ever had, which is frustrating because it’s hard to be healthy and not have sugar when they exist! By the way, you can order a mixed plate of pancakes and French toast. It just has to equal three pieces! They have two locations: one in West Hollywood and one in Studio City.

Shojin is a gourmet all vegan Japanese restaurant! They have two locations: Their original one in DTLA and their second one in Culver City. I’ve been going to Shojin since it opened about 13 years ago(and that’s saying something i’m a teenager!), and I have always loved their food!! I highly suggest everything on the menu!!! They are also all very friendly! I’ve been going to Shojin since it opened, and I have always loved their food!! I would suggest having a reservation which you can do here. p.s They are macrobiotic, allergen friendly, they have no table salt(it is not needed all of they’re food is amazing), organic, and they have no refined sugar! If you’re interested about learning more about them you can do that here, I also talk about them in this list here.

Little Pine is a great place for foodies. It’s an all vegan restaurant in Silver Lake. I have gone to this restaurant several times and the appetizers are great, for a main dish I would suggest the flat bread pizza. An awesome thing they do is that 100% of their profits go to animal charities! You’ll probably want a reservation for this one too which you can do here. p.s Little Pine is owned by the musician Moby. p.p.s Little Pine is Yolandi_eats_la approved, if you don’t know what Yolandi_eats_la is it’s the adventures of Yolanda an adorable vegan Chihuahua eating at all of the vegan restaurants in LA, you should definitely check them out!

Crossroads Kitchen is definitely one of the best places to go for vegan food in Los Angeles. It’s a high end vegan restaurant in West Hollywood. It’s one of my favorite places for special occasions! I would highly suggest coming here for new year’s eve their prixe fix menu is always delicious! This is definitely a place I’d suggest wearing fancier clothes to. You can make a reservation here

Wild Living Foods is a very creative vegan take on classics. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I’ve tried the “meatball”, and pesto pastas. The pastas are all made out of seaweed! The other foods are also very creative! All of it tastes amazing! This is more of a casual trendy restaurant. You don’t really need to have a reservation, but there aren’t a ton of seats. I was able to get a table easily though. They’re also 100% organic, and most of their food is raw!

I’ve been going to Sun Cafe for a long time, and all of their food is great! All of their food is organic, if you don’t know what organic means, it means GMO-free, pesticide-free, and much more! My favorite dish of theirs is probably the BLT, or their margarita pizza. It’s a little more on the high-end side then wild living food, but still somewhat casual. p.s definitely check out their desserts!

This is a recent one for me, but it’s already a favorite! It’s located in a great area for vegan food ~ just down the street from Donut Friend! I suggest heading to Donut Friend for lunch and then Hinterhof for dinner! I enjoyed all of the food I tried ~ I suggest the Jägerschnitzel, and the potato pancakes! You can find out more about this one by checking out my review here.

O’cado is on Ventura Blvd in a trendier area. I like all of the food that I’ve eaten so far! I suggest having the B.T.L.A. and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts, which are great! It’s 100% plant based! You might want a reservation for this one.

I’ve been going to Sage and Kindcreme, which is owned by the same person, for a long time and all of their food is great! They have a Mexican and American inspired menu. There’s a Kindcreme location inside of every Sage, by the way kindcreme is an all vegan ice cream place! My favorite dish of their’s is probably the margarita pizza. You’re probably fine for a reservation all of there locations are pretty large.

I’m sure you’ve heard of this one, what you might not know is that recently it went 100% vegan at its Beverly Hills location, and plans to go 100% vegan at all of its locations! I have gone to their Beverly Hills location once so far. It was really good! Their recipes were veganized by Matthew Kenney who is a vegan chef with a few LA operations including Plant Food + Wine in Venice. I tried the Croque Monsieur and the Club Ladurée as well as a couple of macarons and I highly suggest them! Definitely check this place out! It’s Beverly Hills I don’t think I need to say more about what type of restaurant it is or how fancy you should dress:)

Follow your heart is a classic for long time vegans in the area, and I’ve been going for a long time and always liked their food. I would suggest for brunch the buckwheat pancakes, and for dinner the club or ‘meatball’ sandwiches. They use organic and seasonal ingredients, whenever possible, and have gluten free and no salt, no oil, no sugar (SOS) menu. They also have a great selection of organic and vegan food! And their market is 100% vegetarian!

Doomie’s makes comfort food that tastes great! I would suggest having, the Western burger or the Crispy “Chicken”, and of course, the Fried Avocado, and the garlic fries taste great too! I definitely suggest checking them out! They also have a Mexican restaurant next door! p.s it’s a great place to go with friends, or family that aren’t vegan, or vegetarian!

Joi Cafe is a 100% vegan cafe! Focused on making healthy great tasting food. I’ve been once so far, cause it’s a bit far from me. I had the “Chicken” Alfredo pizza (the pizza has a ton of vegetables on it, so there’s no guilt about having a pizza!), and a small Caesar salad both tasted great! My mum had the Beast Burger, which she liked a lot! They also have 100% organic coffee!
