Best plant-based brunches in the U.S.
U.S.But what about plant-based brunch?
While plant-based options keep leveling up at restaurants, the traditionally eggs-and-bacon-centric brunch scene has lagged behind...until now. To help satisfy those cravings for an epic vegan Eggs Benedict or a towering stack of fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, we’re sharing some of our favorite spots bringing brunch tradition to delicious, plant-based new heights.
Wildseed
Bay Area, Calif. / Weekend brunch at this 100% plant-based restaurant is the stuff of legends. Wildseed’s brunch menu highlights include banana fritters with chocolate-tahini sauce, spicy sausage pizza and JUST Egg chilaquiles.
Tacotarian
Las Vegas, Nev. and San Diego, Calif. / During the week this Mexican eatery slings some of the best plant-based tacos in the country (some say in the world), but on the weekend Tacotarian turns up the heat even further with an unforgettable vegan brunch. Alongside Mexican breakfast favorites like breakfast tacos, chilaquiles and huevos ahogados, they’ve also got brunch staples like sourdough French toast, omelettes and a JUST Egg breakfast sandwich with chipotle ranch.
Donna Jean
Los Angeles and San Diego, Calif. / Donna Jean serves comfort food that celebrates Southern California’s finest produce – and just so happens to be 100% plant-based. The only problem is that on weekend mornings you can choose between their stunning brunch menu AND their full pizza menu. The solution? Order the “Breakfast in Bread” vegan calzone and have the best of both worlds
The Corner Beet
Denver, Colo. / This neighborhood cafe can be your weekday go-to for nourishing breakfast sandwiches or freshly-pressed juices. But come the weekend, they also flex their brunch muscle with an array of decadent Benedicts and French toast creations that’ll leave you counting the minutes until next Saturday. Their menu is vegetarian, not vegan, so be sure to ask for JUST Egg for the full plant-based experience.
Good Morning Kitchen
Las Vegas, Nev. / Another Vegas spot? Well, after a night in Sin City, you’re likely to need plenty of good vegan brunch options to revive yourself. Good Morning Kitchen’s extensive plant-based options include a Vegan Crab Benedict made with hearts of palm, Vegan Chicken & Waffles with a bourbon maple syrup, and a loaded JUST Egg omelette.
Harp and Hound
Ogden, Utah. / An upscale pub with a show-stealing plant-based brunch menu. If you’ve been seeking vegan brunch tachos (tater tot nachos, for the uninitiated), Harp and Hound serves them hot and crispy. They’ve also got all your brunch classics made plant-based, including French toast, corned-beef hash and an all-American breakfast plate.
Ladybird
NYC / Weekend brunch menu highlights at this East Village vegan tapas bar include matcha waffles, a breakfast grilled cheese and B.E.C. bao buns (yeah, you read that right!) Another bonus for those with allergies: Ladybird’s entire menu is nut-free.
The Toasted Owl
Flagstaff and Phoenix, Ariz. / Ask for the green menu at the The Toasted Owl and you’ll be presented with a mouthwatering list of all-day vegan brunch options, including fluffy pancakes, plant-based breakfast burritos and the Loaded Vegan Cheese Crisp. While you wait for your cheese crisp to arrive (we know you’ve got to try it), sip a mimosa and take in the funky vintage decor.
L’Artisane Bakery & Bistro
Miami, Flor. / The first French vegan bakery in the U.S. has since expanded become so much more – a full-blown bistro offering an all-day plant-based brunch menu of pastries, pancakes, plant-based egg dishes, breakfast bowls and French-inspired classics. Fair warning: choosing what to order is going to be tough. But you definitely don’t want to miss out on one of their famous vegan croissant breakfast sandwiches.
Reverie Café + Bar
Minneapolis, Minn. / Whether savory or sweet, this Midwest gem delivers plant-based perfection on each plate. Weekend brunch at Reverie means JUST Egg biscuit breakfast sandwiches on freshly baked biscuits, crêpes with a rotating array of seasonal toppings, savory polenta rancheros, and – wait for it – crispy vegan beignets with chocolate and cinnamon.
Plum Bistro
Seattle, Wash. / Make it a brunch date at Plum Bistro, where a seasonally-driven, fully plant-based menu meets an upscale yet cozy vibe. Go classy with blackberry citrus pancakes topped with coconut cheesecake butter or a vibrant brunch salad tossed in lemon vinaigrette. Or satisfy those comfort cravings with a hearty JUST Egg breakfast burrito or crispy, griddled hashbrowns.
