Best plant-based brunches in the U.S.

U.S.

The can’t-miss places for vegan omelettes, benedicts, French toast and more.

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.
