FULL VEGAN:
Phoenix is another city with more 100% vegan options than we had time to fully explore!
Green New American : Phoenix, AZ
Green New American Vegetarian restaurant is everything you would expect from a hip downtown eatery. They feature all your favorite foods made with 100% plant-based ingredients, vegan cheeses, and mock meats. You can tell they take food seriously and strive to use organic ingredients whenever possible. You can tell they are passionate about food! The cafe features counter order with waitstaff that delivers the food and drink to your table after ordering. The restaurant features sliding garage doors on the front of the build which open to additional outdoor seating during warmer weather. a few additional outdoor tables can be found behind the restaurant. Off-street parking is available, as well.

Nami : Phoenix, AZ
This Vegan sweet shop is right next door to Green (and is a sister shop). We didn’t have time to stop in but Green does stock some of their treats and they all looked amazing. It’s super exciting to have some many great vegan choices all in one place!!
Giving Tree Cafe: Phoenix, AZ
This is the sister restaurant to Chocola Tree in Sedona and is just as amazing. They offer a wide variety of ethnic options and even have all-day breakfast. They have a vision for a world of fresh Water, clean Air, fertile Soil and Harmony among all sentient beings, where Life is restored to ecological, social, and economic balance. If that isn’t enough, everything we ate tasted incredible, too!

Bonus: We were able to catch up with Thad’s Daughter and Son-in-Law while we enjoyed great food
ChocolaTree : Sedona, AZ
As mentioned, this is a sister location to Giving Tree Cafe in Phoenix. The food here is fantastic and they offer many raw options. Their vision is for a world of natural beauty where every child is born into a domain of clean air, pure water & their very own garden, with growing fresh foods in a splendid paradise! We all play a part in nurturing this Vision together as we make conscious choices that honor ourselves, the planet and each other.
The absolute best part is the dessert case full of house-made chocolate treats!

Verdura : Phoenix, AZ
Another really cool vegan restaurant with a diner vibe. This one features counter service ordering and waitstaff delivery. They offered outdoor seating, as well as, a traditional diner counter. to many great choices to pick from here! Their menu is super diverse and should offer several options for everybody.

VEGAN OPTIONS:
Whole Foods : Sedona, AZ
You can, of course, find all sorts of vegan goodies in the grocery section here but…they also have an inhouse restaurant (Bar 1902) which features a daily dinner special. The special includes a meal and a drink special (which ends up being the same price as a meal without a drink). They offered vegan options each day.
Pictured here: some sort of cauliflower tacos, I think?
We were able to catch up with Heather’s friend, Vanessa, while we enjoyed great food here, too!
Thai Spices : Sedona, AZ
We had the place to ourselves when we popped in for lunch here. Separate vegetarian section on the menu with the following subtitle: “Recommended for Vegans, as it contains no animal products ever!”
Pictured here: Pad Key Mow w/ tofu, and a vegan Thai Fried Rice (not on menu)
Dellapiane : Sedona, AZ
We stopped in here one afternoon just to see what they had to offer and were pleasantly surprised by several explicitly vegan choices on the menu (including a vegan breakfast omelette)! Outdoor seating is available here and seems like it could be a pretty happening spot for nightlife later in the day. Waitstaff was super attentive and very vegan knowledgeable.

Hip City Veg: Washington DC + other locations
We ate here the first day we were in DC and then I didn’t want to go anywhere else. They had me at chick’n nuggets. I ate so many nuggets and sweet potato fries that weekend… omg. Thad showed little restraint as well with the Smokehouse burger and fries, and chick’n nuggets he was able to get from me when I wasn’t looking. They are good… REALLY freakin good!

Slutty Vegan: Atlanta, GA
I have TONS to say about Slutty Vegan but let’s start with this… this isn’t a place to just stop at if you happen to be in Atlanta. This is a place to GO TO ATLANTA for!
Slutty Vegan is worth the trip from anywhere in the world. It’s delicious and even more than that… it’s an experience. From waiting outside in the line (be ready, there’s always a line) to being called a slut when it was my time to order, to the banging music that made it hard not to shake yo booty a little, this is one of my ALL TIME FAVS!!! Plus… their slutty sauce left me wanting more, and more, and more… you feel me?
PS: The food was so damn good that we literally forgot to take pix before we devoured it. We are the worst sluts ever!
Green Soma Cafe: Atlanta, GA
Green Soma is the place where I had the BEST lemon cake I’ve ever eaten and I am a lemon LOVER! The food was great too… we had the daily special which was Shepard’s Pie and I humbly admit that it was better than mine! (I do make good shep pie!) We also tried the mac & cheese and the fried shrimp which Thad loved!
Seriously though… I’d move to Atlanta just to eat that lemon cake. Besides the good food, we met another vegan food blogger- Barry the Vegan! He was super nice and it was cool chatting with someone who truly gets us! 🙂

Sweet Pea Cafe: Tallahassee, FL
Dayummm good food! Thad had the Tofuevos Rancheros with fries and I had a Quesadilla with sweet potato fries! Everything was REALLY frickin delish! The food was SO flavorful, fresh, and not overly spicy though I’m sure they’d kick it up if you ask. I’m a wimp and can’t take the heat! lol.
VEGETARIAN/VEGAN:
The Bark: Tallahassee, FL
Vegetarian restaurant, kick-ass hang out! Everything was easily veganized and they had plenty of things that were already vegan. Plus you get free pool, music on weekends, and just a really fun and artistic space to enjoy! The food was really good and if we lived close by, we’d def make this a regular place to eat because I felt pretty hip just eating there! lol.
