Best Vegan Restaurants in Tempe Town Lake

"Located in the Plaza Mountainside, Pomegranate Café is a cozy neighborhood spot with sidewalk seating that serves organic, gluten-free, raw, and vegan fare along with fresh juices. The farm-to-table menu features made-from-scratch fare such as wholesome homemade bread, flavorful health bowls of quinoa and grains, fresh, crisp salads, and decadent desserts accompanied by mouth-watering lattes steamed with hand-crafted syrups. The lovely little neighborhood café offers breakfast bites of omelets, egg scrambles, stacks of pancakes, French toast, quiche Lorraine, and biscuits and gravy in addition to fresh fruit juices, imported teas, and a variety of coffee and specialty coffee drinks."

"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."

"The Pomegranate Cafe is a popular bright, spacious neighborhood vegan/vegetarian restaurant on Chandler Boulevard in Phoenix. It proves once and for all that healthy does not have to mean boring. Almost everything is organic, locally sourced and seasonal."

"The idea for a vegan ice cream shop emerged from the restaurant’s infamous organic ice cream treat: the tSoynami. These now-famous vegan treats start with homemade soy tSoft tServe, then combines with such goodies as cakes, cookies, chocolate, peanut butter, fruit and just about anything else you can think of. The restaurant’s bakers and baristas pour their hearts into each and every creation (and the list of selections is long)."

"These sugary concoctions filled with everything from chocolate cake to ginger cookies, Tsoynamis are a must-try in Phoenix. Nami and its sister restaurant, Green, are both completely vegan, but I can assure you each dish feels indulgent. Nami never ceases to amaze its customers with surprising flavors and ingredients."

"Green New American Vegetarian is a vegan community mainstay with a 15-year history that predates mainstream vegetarianism in Arizona. It offers vegetarian and vegan diners a comfort food oasis with choices ranging from award-winning buffalo wings with ranch to “cheesy” crab puffs and a spicy po’boy on toasted ciabatta — all at affordable prices with everything under $10. Don’t forget to stop in at sister restaurant, Nami, which has one of the best assortment of vegan desserts in the Valley, including the legendary Soynami ice cream."

"Home of the first famous “mock meat” in metro Phoenix, Green New American Vegetarian boasts possibly the best Buffalo wings in the vegan world — good enough to push skeptical carnivores into cravings. The award-winning wings are just one star in a stellar cast of plant-based greats: crab puffs bursting with “cream cheese,” spicy po’boys, and artichoke-stuffed garden burritos. Then, there are tSoynami ice cream treats for dessert, from neighboring sister business Nami."

"That might sound like an oxymoron to some people, but the loyal following of foodies who lunch at Green understand exactly what that means. Po-boys, sammies, and burgers are thick and juicy and loaded with toppings--and all made with 100% vegan cheeses and mock meats. Specialty salads include Jerk Tofu Salad, Ranchero Salad (featuring vegan bbq wings), and a tasty Balsamic Picnic Salad."

"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)"

"They specialize in botanically inspired food that draws influence from countries around the world. They boast a wide collection of pastries, juices, and smoothies to go along-side their fully vegan menu. 24 Carrots Natural Café also has a full coffee and tea bar stocked with locally sourced and in-house blends."

"While a music-themed restaurant might not immediately make sense — once you experience it for yourself, you’ll be hooked thanks to Verdura’s trendsetting dishes, stunning presentation and good vibes. From the multi-layered Big Mac-inspired McAnarchy Burger to the Space Girls angel hair pasta with vegan pecan pesto and cashew ricotta, it’s decadent vegan dining even meat-lovers can get on board with. A meal at Verdura isn’t complete without trying the goth waffle — a Japanese-style bubble waffle, prepared with activated charcoal, raspberry sorbet, and shaved coconut."

"This music-themed vegan restaurant makes plant-based eating even cooler with vinyl records and hearty, mouthwatering dishes that make you forget you’re eating meat-free. For example, they've got carne asada nachos, as well as the anarchy burger and kimchi arancini. For a true unforgettable vegan treat, opt for the Goth Waffle -- a Japanese-style bubble waffle, activated charcoal, raspberry sorbet, and shaved coconut."

"Come enjoy our dishes that have only the freshest ingredients!. Thanks to @mkeatsaz for the great pic. A post shared by Pita Jungle (@pitajungle) on Sep 5, 2017 at 11:00am PDT"

"To put it bluntly, this might be the “hippiest” of vegan-friendly restaurants on this list. The menu at Giving Tree Cafe is entirely organic and gluten-free, and interior décor is sparse save for a kids’ corner play area and a couple gorgeous, gigantic amethyst geodes. The air smells of roasted vegetables and fresh-pressed juices, which manifests on the menu in items like the Buddha Bowl (roasted maple acorn squash, turmeric cauliflower, shishito peppers, Brussels sprouts, and Bangkok sauce) and the Solar Flare juice (orange, grapefruit, lemon, ginger, and turmeric)."

"Their posted manifesto emphasizes sustainability and balance, which is showcased throughout the inventive menu. All-day breakfast, pizzas, salads and sandwiches anchor the offerings here, and our best advice is to try as many of the starters and sides as possible, preferably with a hand-crafted cocktail. Editor’s Pick: Order the crunch wrap supreme and you'll quickly find out why it's the best-selling item here."

"If you’re after a great deal, check out restaurants which users say offer excellent value, like Urban Boba Tea House in Deer Valley."

"The salad bar has good selection though the price now allows for one trip only as previously it allowed for refills."

"Without a doubt, Camelback Park is one of the best parks in Scottsdale. The lot is big at 32 acres. But the views (a line of sloped-roof Southern-style houses on one side, Camelback Mountain on the other) make the walk feel more intimate."
