Vegan Restaurants in Minneapolis (2025)
Reverie Cafe + Bar
Vegan restaurant · Powderhorn Park
A bright, all-vegan hangout in Powderhorn serving brunch plates, tacos, burgers, and beignets alongside beer and natural-leaning pours. Frequently praised by local critics and a staple on plant-based shortlists, it feels as neighborhood as it gets.
Trio Plant- Based
Vegan restaurant · Whittier
Minnesota’s first Black-owned vegan restaurant, Trio centers soulful comfort: mac and cheeze, jackfruit ribs, and collards that draw regulars and visiting vegans alike. Featured by Eater Twin Cities and applauded by local press for its community focus.
Francis Burger Joint
Hamburger restaurant · Holland
A fun, fully vegan burger bar with a legit smashburger, shakes, and the state’s only fully vegan full bar. Widely praised by local writers and named a plant-based favorite by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine readers; now with a second location on East Lake.
Lulu EthioVegan Cuisine
Restaurant · Stevens Square
Chef Tigist Feyisa’s kitchen is fully vegan and deeply Ethiopian—think shimbra asa, richly spiced wots, and injera that sparks communal tables. Highlighted by Eater Twin Cities and recognized in the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge for standout dishes.
Vegan East
Bakery · Morris Park
Hmong American–owned bakery known for vegan cakes, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls, with several gluten-free options. Noted by local guides and tourism sites, it fuels celebrations and everyday cravings from a small, friendly Nokomis-area storefront.
Hard Times Cafe
Vegetarian restaurant · Cedar-Riverside
Worker-owned since 1992, this West Bank institution serves vegetarian and vegan comfort food from morning to late night. Praised by Eater Twin Cities and locals for punk spirit, cash-only sensibility, and reliably satisfying vegan scrambles, sandwiches, and pancakes.
Modern Times
Diner · Central
A color-splashed, indie diner where much of the menu skews vegetarian with strong vegan options and a separate vegan breakfast lineup. Regularly included by Eater Twin Cities for approachable, organic-leaning plates and a true neighborhood feel.
Seward Cafe
Cafe · Seward
One of the country’s oldest worker-run restaurants, Seward dishes vegetarian and vegan breakfasts, hashes, and baked goods with cooperative values at the core. A favorite of local writers and community groups for decades, it remains quintessentially Minneapolis.
