This place is oh so delicious and super healthy. Everything on the menu is vegan, but the food is so good your meat-loving friends will never even know it.
The vegan and vegetarian options here are worth the trip to the Civic Center. Nice, peaceful atmosphere. You will leave feeling both full and relaxed.
Alive is a bit pricey, but it is raw, vegan, organic and delicious. They even have desserts – don’t leave without trying the cheesecake.
This place is definitely not all vegetarian, but even veggies have to get their sandwich on. Several vegetarian options, but my fave is The Garden.
Loving Hut serves up relatively healthy Asian fusion. They even have dairy-free Thai Iced Tea. That alone made it worth it for me.
**BEST** vegan pizza, tasty vegetarian sausage, super fresh veggies. Also, you can get a cocktails with absinthe and cool names like "dolores park swizzle."
This café is cute and cozy. They've got salads, sandwiches & sweets (several vegan options!). It's a great place to meet a friend for coffee or a glass of wine.
I love this place! The food is tasty and healthy, and they indicate on the menu what's vegan and what's not so guests don't have to do any guessing.
So delicious. Lots of veg options, but I always go for eggplant w/ tofu. Although it's on busy Chestnut Street in the Marina, it's usually easy to get a table.
Bstar’s flavorful Burmese treats are worth the two-hour wait (no reservations). I recommend the coconut rice, samusa soup and the lychee cocktails.
Located in the Asian Art Museum, Cafe Asia offers a great selection of pan-Asian dishes & lots of veggie options. A great place for a light and healthy lunch.
If you're in the mood for a lunch that is both delicious and beautiful, grab a bento box at Delica. They've got tasty tofu options and hearty vegetable sides.
The number of vegetarian/vegan options at Ike's is staggering! Also, the staff is as happy as the customers are after devouring one of their awesome sammies.
Custom has toppings, sauces and condiments galore. Lots of options for meat-eaters (kobe beef, lamb, salmon, etc.), but their veggie burger is mouthwatering!
They have a salad bar that is overflowing with delicious, healthy options. Signs indicate what is vegan and vegetarian. Sandwiches and yummy vegan pastries too!
A Vegan Josephine and a Sweet Watermelon Tea from Brenda's French Soul Food just might be the perfect lunch. Thank you, Brenda, wherever you are!
Fantastic soups & salads. They even indicate what soups are 100% veggie - no chicken stock for us! Add their delish tofu to your salad. It's my favorite part!
Local, sustainable, organic AND affordable. Add lots of yummy salads & sandwiches (I recommend the roasted portobello mushroom sandwich) and I say let's eat.
Forget the packaged stuff - the Field Roast Chipotle Vegetarian Sausage will be the best dawg you've ever had - meat eater or not. Grab a giant pickle too. :)
