50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Tucson

“The food is incredible and the owner is the most real & incredible human. Story time: 5 or so years ago I went in to pick up food - I was having the worst day. I was sick, I was fighting with an awful human non stop and I had just finished a 22 day straight gem show job. I sat down to wait for my food and the owner saw my sorry state and just came out and started putting a bunch of shots of juice in front of me. Literally fixed my day and my life for moment. I get emotional just walking into this place. Nothing but warmth and love. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Great food and the people are wonderful!“

“Table side salsa is the best! Menu selection is huge and the food is so good! I had lemon butter cilantro salmon, muy perfecto! Personable management and great wait staff, highly recommend Guadalajara’s!“

“First saw Tumerico on Triple D. Visiting Tucson in March…family tried it out…we beeping loved it. I am almost exclusively a carnivore, but I’d eat at Tumerico’s twice a week if I lived here. Absolutely delicious!“

“Have had nothing but absolute deliciousness from this place. Pasta, salads, sandwiches and the garlic aioli fries are to die for. Go! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Burgers, fries and green beans were spot on. Service was excellent!
Coleslaw was a bit disappointing as it was all one color and texture, sort of weird.

DO NOT waste your money on the vegan “soft serve”, very disappointing texture and flavor when there are so many incredible vegan ice creams that exist. This stuff was weird and tasted syrup based. It definitely brings down the overall experience after a great meal, really bummed we spent $21 on three soft serves.“

“Some damn good bread! We heard about the hype and had to check it out. I’d recommend going earlier to avoid lines. The focaccia is AMAZING, as well as the heritage loaf! My partner got a pretzel which he loved. The staff were very kind & helpful. Definitely will be back“

“what an amazing place. not just for the coffees but for the kindness of those who work there.“

“We live super close to licks and I love to always try a different flavor and there custom milkshakes are so good also, if you look to the right of the fridge and between the lounge area on the wall there’s a menu for a bunch of different types of ice cream like one is a peanut butter sorta vibe ice cream cone and also another amazing thing is there staff they are always so friendly, I highly recommend this if your driving by or if you are eating dinner somewhere near I definitely recommend stopping by.“

“Excellent meal. Mushroom soup intensely flavored and supremely delicious, scallops perfectly seared, bone marrow was perfect, king salmon was amazing. Great wine selection. Professional yet friendly staff. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“Creative dishes, good service“

“I had my retirement party there a little over a week ago. The staff was great - helpful, attentive, yet unobtrusive... and also friendly and just really nice. The food was absolutely fantastic. All of my guests raved about the dinner and the cakes we had for desert. So many thanks to the chef(s) for a delicious meal. The venue was charming and, because the weather was about perfect that night, we were able to enjoy the patio as well as being inside. I can't thank the staff at Café a la C'Artl/Carte Blanche catering enough for making our celebration so great!“

“Indian Twist is fantastic! The chicken tikka masala and coconut chicken were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The chicken samosas were crispy and absolutely delicious on their own. The garlic naan was fresh and soft, a perfect side to the meal. Vegetarian options are plentiful and just as tasty. With friendly staff and a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, this was a wonderful dining experience!“

“Holy Moly, this is now my number one favorite restaurant in Tucson. I’ve never had such consistently delicious and perfectly cooked food in my life! My family and I went, shared an order of the blueberry lemon pancakes, and each had our own meal. Each and every item we ordered was absolutely phenomenal. And the portions are huge!!!! Thank you so much, Baja Cafe, for turning out scrumptious food!!!!!“

“Went with my brother while visiting in Tucson. Tried the Sonoran hot dog. Delicious! Service was great and friendly!!!!“

“Very friendly staff and the tea is 10/10 quality :)“

“My partner, friends, and I have had the chance to try several of Alaine’s vegan baked treats, and every one has been fantastic. Her food is delicious and clearly made with care. On top of that, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alaine herself, and it’s obvious how much she truly values her customers and the community. A wonderful local business I’m always happy to support!“

“Fantastic staff. Andy was amazing and attentive. The food was outstanding. I loved my flaming cheesecake!!“

“Simply delicious. Friendly server, short wait for food, affordable. Loved the iced mint tea too.“

“Service excellent, food inventive, delicious. Dark slick tile floors, unmarked change from floor to a step…there must be a bright reflective tape or paint for more than one site in the restaurant. I was injured falling having not seen nor felt the one step. Management was most solicitous and paid our bill. We would never have asked for this and were surprised and grateful.“

“Our regular spot for a great breakfast.“

“Our manager at work brought in bagels from your place this week and wow, the best bagel I’ve ever tasted! So fresh, soft on the inside and just right amount crunch on the outside. Very filling and perfect! Can’t wait to visit your shop soon!!“

“The food is amazing - even my carnivore partner has ordered multiple times. The often sold out brookie is 🧑‍🍳 😘. I remember when it went from an idea (voting on the logo) to reality. I’m soooo glad you have proven the naysayers (“this will never be successful”) wrong!!“

“Honestly if I could give this 10 stars I would. This is absolutely the best pastry I have had in Tucson. Coming from Europe I have found it very difficult to find good pastries that were not overly sweet or just pure sugar. I bought a variety of items to bring to work and everyone loved it.“

“This First Watch lives up to the reputation of being a truly incredible breakfast experience. It is the absolute best place for breakfast that I can muster. If you don’t know where to go for breakfast, this is a no brainer. Tons of options and everything is awesome!“

“I absolutely love everything about Eatgypt! The owner and family are friendly, knowledgeable and responsive, the food is incredible and everything is clean. DO NOT pass on the baklava if they have it in stock, it is amazing. Highly recommend!“

“just discovered this place.. i had the cuban taco plate and just yesterday, the chilaquilas? both were excellent. staff is friendly and takes their time to make sure they answer all your questions, never felted rushed. wonderful setting, very relaxing. i plan on eating my way through their menu.“

“We had a really nice dinner at Penelope. The wood fired pizza crust is nice because it is still chewey even though it's thin. Both pizzas we had were very tasty. The menu is trim, but they have all the basics you need. The staff were incredible. They work so well together and create a very pleasant atmosphere. You can tell they take great pride in taking care of everyone. They have communal tables or individual tables and a patio. The communal tables are great! They let the restaurant stay flexible and seat as many as possible without a long wait. I found the dining room to be very loud, but cozy otherwise.“

“Dear Tito and Pep, Please refresh the menu. you are so talented ,passionate ,and creative with your food. Please share with us ( your Tucson)what other excellent culinary creations are in your heart, mind and soul. We love your foods and the story. So ,what is the next page in this beautiful Sonoran gastronomic adventure ? Go for it Chef!“

“Good Morning, I wanted to express my gratitude for such wonderful and delicious Pan Dulce. Being born in Tijuana, Baja California and raised in Los Angeles, California my entire life . I thought I would never find this exquisite baked delights. La Estrella Bakery transported me to wonderful time of my childhood. I now reside in Oro Valley, AZ . I came to your bakery and had such a pleasant experience with your wonderful staff. May God continue to bless you and all of your hard work and of course your entire staff for creating these wonderful and delightful baked goods and most definitely your delicious Tortillas. 😊🙏🏻❤️🇲🇽 Sincerely, New Customer Salvador Horta“

“Excelent food“

“It’s a vibe and amazing food best burgers“

“It was my son's 10th birthday and I asked him where he wants to get lunch, and he said Pure Poke, I ordered the Dragon Bowl and let me tell you that it was beyond delicious and fresh in every way. Home made spicy sauces and fresh sashimi over the rice. Ill definitely be going back. Only part that sucks is I live 25 minutes away.“

“Finally tried Mojo, and it did not disappoint! Food, drink, and service were wonderful. I grew up on the east coast and have missed Cuban food; so happy to have a spot here in Tucson! I love that there were several sampler options so I could try a variety of dishes on my first visit: rum flight (silver), Plato Mixto, and Taste of Havana were all delicious. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu. Shout out to our server who was welcoming and attentive!“

“The lemongrass beef sandwich was delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“Pretty place. We were there for the buffet. The food was OK but not great. Setting is beautiful.“

“Thank you for healthy and delicious meals for the last few years. We will miss “see[ing] you in 20-25 minutes” for pick up. Literally everything on this menu is so delicious. Dr. And Mrs Ohja make a super yummy home-cooked meals. Light and filled with lots of vegetables, but sooooo filling. This place will be missed, we really hope the new owners keep the exact recipes, but nothing will replace the personalities and care that go into these meals.“

“The service at Zayna is always so quick and friendly, the food is delicious. Highly recommend, one of our favorite places in Tucson💜“

“Great food at a great price!“

“Great vegan options at this cute local restaurant, they have hearty dishes with lentils, chickpeas, etc. Really tasty, you can get 3 small sides for $22-24 which is plenty filling. Good atmosphere, they just renovated the whole place with a bar next door and coffee shop all owned by the same family as Zemams.“

“First thing I say when we walk in, "OMG this place smells AMAZING!!", and tasted even better! Best falafel and gyro I've ever had!! I like that the falafel is patties instead of balls like most places. It was cooked perfectly..crispy crunchy on the outside, soft and almost cake-like on the inside. You get 4 cakes to the order plus pita bread, cucumbers and tomatoes. The gyro is HUGE!! I couldn't even pick it up to try and eat it until I ate some of the meat out of it, which btw, is flavored so beautifully that you don't really need the tzatziki sauce but definitely worth putting on bc the flavors of both go together so well! I HIGHLY recommend going to Istanbul if you want outstanding Mediterranean food in a good atmosphere! This place definitely get 👍👍 from this food enthusiast!!“

“Amazing gelato with crunchy delicious variety of cones available. Super nice employees (please tip them) that are very personable, professional and quick to help their customers. I was never a fan of gelato until I had Bella's. Totally hooked...I'd eat it daily if I could. 😃🐾🐕“

“Best pizzas and in my opinion the best olive oil cake in Tucson. After a work day at the ceramic studio I stop by TIME MARKET to decompress and relax while enjoying green tea and a slice of pizza.“

“I order from here quite often with DoorDash, as my work schedule varies my hours. I've been going here for years, and I have never ever gotten any poke bowl that has given me even a hint of not being fresh . I stopped here on my way home from work tonight, and from the moment I walked in I was greeted, someone was being helped at the cash register and then I was asked how can I help you. I said I'm here for my order gave my name, she reached for it made eye contact with me smiled and said have a great night. Great food great staff. Win-win“

“The service was very good and the food the same. My family had an awesome time. Thx so much.“

“The food is fantastic! Best Ramen everrrrrr!!!! The service is phenomenal! Bruno is so great in serving! He discussed the menu and gave us some recommendations. We’ll definitely coming back very soon.“

“delicious food, delightful, happening atmosphere and great gluten free options!“

“A la carte dim sum and tea drinks. Fast, friendly service.“

“This is my favorite locally-owned coffee place. Genuine service with a smile. Perfectly brewed coffee. Awesome bf burritos too! The "Cheers" of coffee hangouts. 5 Stars!“
