Best Vegan Restaurants in Phoenix

"The whirring sound of blenders fills the air at mother-daughter-owned Pomegranate Café, as fruits and veggies get pulverized into superfood smoothies like the “Green Monkey” (with spirulina and Sunwarrior protein powder). The food menu is extensive and robust, offering more than a dozen breakfast items including scrambles, wraps, and burritos. That is followed by a slew of starters (standard vegan appetizers like Buffalo cauliflower, spinach artichoke dip with bread and chips, and a hummus plate), plus salads, sandwiches, and plant-based burgers."

"Healthy, wholesome, yet still delectable, brunch and lunch selections are artfully created and served using only the highest quality ingredients. Try the Breakfast Burrito, made with your choice egg or tofu, seasonal veggies, harvest hash, anasazi beans, vegan or cheddar cheese and then wrapped in a spinach tortilla and served with the house salsa. French toast is an art here, and the a selection of fresh baked goods is available for you to take home."

"The Pomegranate Cafe is a vegan and vegetarian restaurant serving up organic and locally-sourced dishes. From veggie-filled burritos (like above) to mouth-watering burgers, the Pomegranate Cafe has something for both carnivores and herbivores alike. In addition to tasty meals that’ll fill you up, they also carry a huge selection of delicious treats."

"These sugary concoctions filled with everything from chocolate cake to ginger cookies, Tsoynamis are a must-try in Phoenix.

"Guadalupe Rd., Tempe, 480- 753-4411, 24carrotscafe.com Craving a Sonoran hot dog sans sausage?. This bright, airy eatery offers a panoply of plant-based comfort food classics like burgers and BLTs and yes, even a seitan hot dog freckled with faux bacon. Pair your fresh, meat-free meal with a cold-pressed juice or organic smoothie, grab a seat on the café’s comfy couch and thank the vegan gods for 24 Carrots."

"Sasha Raj pulls out so many stops at 24 Carrots — chutneys, “labneh,” powder from mushrooms she forages herself — that “vegan restaurant” doesn’t fully capture her meatless style of cooking. There are raw soups, juices, tacos, “burgers.” Beloved global preparations get thoughtful remixes, everything from dan dan noodles to Sonoran “hot dogs.”. A post shared by 24carrots (@24carrots)"

"Desert Roots Kitchen is a vegan and vegetarian cafe tucked away in a colorful alley in downtown Tempe.

The menu changes frequently but often features pasta salads, rice and bean dishes, vegetarian tamales, vegetarian chili, soups, mixed greens, hummus, and an array of vegetarian deli items."

"For most plant-based eaters, Desert Roots Kitchen is a welcome supplement to the usual restaurant experience. Whether you need a quick bite for one or you're looking to stock your hotel fridge or picnic basket, this spot will do the trick. With more of a low-fuss, deli-style approach to vegan options, the menu changes daily (check their Instagram account for updates), with most items on display."

"Desert Root Kitchen is the crunchy vegan cafe of your inner college kid's dreams. Cloistered from the hustle and bustle of Tempe's Mill Avenue by its location off the Mill Avenue Shops inner courtyard, Desert Roots Kitchen takes a casual approach to its menu. It changes day to day and is usually scrawled out in multi-colored marker."

"Chef Jason Wyrick takes a high-minded approach to the “plant-forward cuisine” served at Casa Terra. His Mediterranean- and Mexican-inspired fare captures the savory flavors of meat and cheese without any carne or queso. Dishes like Chilaquiles Divorciados with smoked vegan chicken, a taco trio with tempura artichokes and smoky spiced “pork,” and trumpet mushroom calamari with chipotle aioli are convincing facsimiles of meat, while pizzas topped with ingredients like Aleppo chiles, crispy kale, and Hatch chile sauce emerge bursting with flavor and beautifully blistered from the wood-fired oven."

"With the distinction of being Greater Phoenix's first elevated vegan dining experience, Casa Terra brings innovative fusion to plant-based eating. With influences from Mexico and the Mediterranean, this menu ranges from palm heart ceviche and albondigas over creamy polenta to wood-fired pizzas and pumpkin gnocchi. Aside from stunning presentation, it's the variety that makes this spot a standout."

"I've only been to Casa Terra once because this all-vegan fine-dining spot is so new. I was impressed with the vibe and impeccable service. Executive Chef Jason Wyrick really knows food, and his dishes—tempeh chorizo flautas or truffled arancini with ricotta—are inventive and elegant."

"With plain old vanilla and chocolate being such popular ice cream flavors, it is interesting that small artisanal creameries like Sweet Republic keep competing to see who will make the most outrageous flavor. Sweet Republic is way ahead with flavors like chocolate orange with Sichuan peppercorn, sweet corn, and honey blue cheese. Which begs the question: Does anyone actually order it?"
