Desert Roots Kitchen

You don’t have to be an über-hippie vegan nut to enjoy Desert Roots Kitchen. You don’t even really have to be on a health kick. Instead of using fake meats and faux cheese, Desert Roots simply uses real-deal grains, legumes, and veggies — along with a good amount of seasoning and spice to add flavor. […]

Earth Plant Based Cuisine

Mexican food often is heavy on the opposite of vegan food: lots of meat, lots of cheese. Earth Plant Based Cuisine on Grand Avenue has a different vision, though. This small family-owned business packs big flavor into its menu, along with a desire to show customers what going green and being vegan is all about. […]

Fresh Mint

This vegetarian, vegan, and certified kosher eatery in Scottsdale puts a Vietnamese spin on meatless dishes, thanks to owner and chef Mai Ly, who, along with her husband, managed similar restaurants in Maui for more 20 years.

Basically, this is fast-food vegan, and fills a niche that needs to be filled, to judge by […]

Green New American Vegetarian

If you still think vegan food means a bunch of rabbit food, clearly you haven’t been to Green. With a full menu of burgers, pasta, rice bowls, egg rolls, and even chili fries, eating vegan never looked so naughty. The newer Phoenix location is right next door to the restaurant’s all vegan sweets shop, Nami, […]

Loving Hut

Is it possible that we can love a restaurant more than we love Loving Hut? We think not. That’s because this super chain does something with gourmet vegan cuisine we can’t find anyplace else: they turn wholesome ingredients into a repast that’s not only good for us, but tastes amazing, too. Currently the fastest-growing vegan […]

Nami

Owner Damon Brasch opened this cool little vegan ice cream, coffee, and pastry shop in a renovated house in downtown Phoenix just days before he opened the second location of his vegan bistro Green right next door. And what Green does right in the way of comfort food, Nami does right in the way of […]
