On the Menu: Vegan Options Around the Twin Cities
It's not always easy finding vegan dining options — particularly when you move to a new area. There are plenty of Minneapolis homes for sale and Saint Paul homes for sale, but it takes a bit of research and planning to determine which restaurants in the Twin Cities have the best plant-based options. Don't worry, though; we've got you covered. As we celebrate World Vegan Month this November, here are some of the most convenient and delicious vegan options the Twin Cities have to offer.
- Hard Times Cafe - 1821 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454
Open 22 hours a day (6 am to 4 am daily), the Hard Times Cafe has a punk vibe and a great vegan menu with a wide variety of delicious and exotic options you can enjoy at almost any hour. Of particular interest are their vegan dessert cups, such as blueberry vegan cheesecake, chocolate cake with lavender frosting, and lime curd with cherries, layered into cups for a quick and convenient dairy-free treat. - Tongue in Cheek - 989 Payne Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55130
St. Paul's Tongue in Cheek restaurant and cafe is committed to using quality, sustainable ingredients. While the menu is filled with non-vegan fare, it does include several dishes for diners who prefer plant-based options. That includes Zucchini Pad Thai salad, roasted cauliflower, and special dish featuring a rotating cornucopia of delicious, seasonal, plant-based ingredients. - Vegan East - 2409 Lyndale Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN 55405
Vegan East is your one-stop-shop for delicious vegan baked goods in Minneapolis, from cheesecake to carrot cake to cinnamon rolls and more. They also have a cafe, open daily for lunch, serving everything from sloppy joes to grilled cheese to chicken salad to pastrami — all completely vegan! Their uptown location, on Lyndale, is their main spot, open daily from 9 am to 3 pm. However, they also have two others: their Northeast Minneapolis location is open Friday through Sunday, and their location in White Bear Lake is open Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. - J. Selby's - 169 Victoria St., Saint Paul, MN 55104
You don't always need something fancy. Sometimes what you really want is fast food: a burger, a crunchwrap, some buffalo wings, and maybe a shake. J. Selby's in St. Paul has all of these and many other fast food menu items, made completely vegan. Order online and do curbside pickup, or have it delivered. You can even pay to donate a vegan meal to someone else in need. - The Herbivorous Butcher - 507 1st Ave. NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
What do you do when you're craving thick maple bacon, smoky barbecue ribs, or a bucket of crispy, golden fried chicken? You head to The Herbivorous Butcher to see all of your wildest, meatiest fantasies come true — all 100% vegan. They pride themselves on plant-based products that look, smell, and taste just like real meat. Their store is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, and Sundays, 11 am to 4 pm. They also offer online ordering to have their products shipped directly to you.
This is just a sample of the great vegan fare you can find in and around Minneapolis and Saint Paul if you know where to look. If you're ready to get settled in the Twin Cities, call today, and we'll help you find your dream home.
