50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Stanford

“lots to see. you need 2 hours min. also sculptured gardens“

“All time favorite cafe latte spot. With waffle & strawberries. At 7:30am!“

“Phenomenal food at a student-friendly price! Had lunch with the wife today at this magnificent establishment and it was terrific. This cafeteria is part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and is apparently where all of the b-school eager beavers refuel on sustenance. ? I particularly appreciated the, oh-so-clever, names that accompanied each of the food stations. ? Haha, you can totally tell this is where all of the MBA people hang out! Definitely get lunch here if you're in the area!“

“Incredibly friendly atmosphere. Perfect for studying and sipping on a warm drink. Staff is friendly and genuine. Food is served in HUGE portions and you can’t beat the price. Have been here countless times!“

“The burrito was okay. The good is the size — it’s pretty big. The bad part is the taste for me. The chicken had too much BBQ sauce and wasn’t fresh I think. I didn’t finish it because it was very mid. Nachos were good. I think if you are in between choices at that place, get something but burrito because my colleagues got other food and liked it more.“

“This is a cafe on the Stanford campus that many people visit. I think there are many systems where you can order food by a certain time and pick it up using an app or something else without ordering directly. There are a lot of varieties and it seems like a good place to spend time in front of the librarian. However, I took off one star because it was the worst iced coffee I had in the US. I think it would be better to use it because of its accessibility rather than expecting it to taste good.“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Being Greek, I was highly anticipating Evvia Estiatorio in Palo Alto, and it exceeded my expectations and delivered an outstanding dining experience with authentic flavors and a vibrant atmosphere. The meal began with classic appetizers—creamy tatziki and sizzling saganaki—which captured the essence of Greek cuisine and set a delicious tone for the evening. For the main course, I had the whole grilled lavraki (Mediterranean sea bass) and it stood out for its perfectly cooked, flaky texture and fresh-herb seasoning. Our table also enjoyed the hearty lamb shank served over orzo, the flavorful ravioli, and a generous portion of pastitsio (the special of the night); each dish looked impressive and was praised by everyone at the table.
Dining outdoors added a special touch, with the weather being absolutely perfect—comfortably warm with a gentle breeze—making the outdoor seating feel like a Mediterranean escape. The service was remarkably fast and attentive: staff made sure every detail was just right, and empty plates were swiftly replaced without interrupting conversation. The meal finished on a high note with Evvia’s house-made cheesecake topped with luscious huckleberry sauce, which was truly divine and provided a sweet, memorable end to the evening.
After a day spent walking around the area and exploring nature, this dinner was the perfect way to relax and enjoy great company, delicious food, and flawless hospitality. Evvia blends old-world charm with contemporary excellence—a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier Greek dining experience in Palo Alto.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years“

“We stopped by on a busy Saturday evening and ordered the coconut breeze and the mango mochi coconut pudding. I like how both items taste fresh and not too sweet. The mango is ripe and sweet. The drink had a lot of textures and is well balanced.“

“Very nice modern spot with a clean aesthetic and friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The food is great comfort fare — I highly recommend the Original Single Patty with fries for a classic combo. The Mushroom Chicken is a flavorful option if you’re looking for something different, and the Mac N Cheese is creamy and satisfying. Portions are generous, definitely great for sharing. Overall, a solid choice for a casual bite while shopping.“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Yummy empanadas and desserts.“

“I really enjoyed my Friday morning visit around 10 a.m. There was about a 5-minute wait, a short line, and all the chairs were taken, lots of people standing around and the space was loud and crowded. I was meeting a friend, and even in the bustle we were able to have a wonderful conversation. By about 10:30, the crowd thinned out, and we found a table to enjoy not just our conversation but also some delicious coffee.

She ordered a flat white and loved it, saying it had a caramel-like taste. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with oat milk (so good!) and an avocado toast. Next time, I’ll definitely order the avocado toast with an egg and try the miso latte the barista recommended.

The café has seating for maybe 15–20 people, either individually or paired up. Overall, a great spot, I’ll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“I’ve been a huge fan of Craft Roots for 5 years and visit the restaurant in Morgan Hill every time I’m nearby that area. They recently decided to try a “ghost kitchen” model in Sunnyvale. I’m generally a skeptic of delivery-only restaurants, but am joyful in this case that Craft Roots is expanding in any form. And what I’ve had by take-out or delivery is just as good as the food from the brick and mortar location“

“I don’t think I’ve ever come here and been unsatisfied with the food or service. Every time I do come in, I wonder why I haven’t come more often. Food is consistently amazing, service is surprisingly great for an order ahead type restaurant, and it’s an overall quick dining experience.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Oak + Violet is one of the best restaurants I've dined at in years. The food is prepared with imagination and great care. They specialize in locally sourced food which adds so much flavor and freshness to their dishes. They offer a wide variety of wines, even if you order by the glass. The service was great too.“

“This was a great place! We loved it very much. We are from out of the area and enjoyed this cozy little café. It is so clean and the restrooms are beautiful. The inside is welcoming and the staff is simply amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please go and then go again! Because you'll want more. Thank you for a great adventure. My husband and I appreciated your hospitality and the meal was more than we could have ever dreamed of.“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Great neighborhood ice cream store that features a variety of unique flavors! Highly recommend this if you are in the Sunnyvale area and are looking for eggless ice cream options. Plenty of great options to choose from at incredible prices!“

“Just had a dish of soybean seedling and it was surprisingly good! They had a perfect little crunch on the outside but stayed tender inside. The seasoning was spot-on—a nice savory, garlicky flavor with a hint of spice. It's a great simple side dish, super healthy-tasting, and feels light even when ate lots meats.“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗“

“I recently visited this place and I was absolutely impressed! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, with every dish made from high-quality ingredients. You can truly taste the difference in every bite. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a pleasant dining experience!“

“An absolute gem for anyone craving authentic and flavorful South Asian cuisine. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes you want to keep coming back.

Their Chapli Kabab is a standout—juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Paired with their soft, fluffy plain naan, it’s a combo that hits the spot every time. You can tell they put real care into their recipes.

The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. It gets packed, especially around lunch, but the food is always worth the wait.

Highly recommended for a casual meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.“

“We love Vivace! It’s like a party and the food is good! We esp enjoy the orichette and the salmon w/couscous. Cocktails 👍“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Wonderful evening. Great attention to every detail. Service was excellent, food was delicious. The chef came out to chat with us. The biscuits and butter were delicious!! They even decanter our wine !! It all made for a very special memory !!“

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“Tantalizing your taste buds with each and whey bite. From the complimentary papadum to whatever dish ordered, this restaurant will delight your every desire. My favorites include the tandoori salmon and lamb saag, but you really can't go wrong with the menu. If you read this far, stop and place your order right now!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Just had a great traditional American breakfast, which I chose to be simple. Yet, with the “banana cake” made it exceptional. Thanks for the surviving recipe and thanks to Miguel for his help and welcoming.

I found Honee’s while searching for the best server breakfast around my hotel in Sunnyvale, as recommended by ChatGPT. A purpose-fit choice and I’ll repeat it whenever returning to this place.“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“Good service was good, and very helpful. Accidentally mixed up my food but were willing to remake it.“

Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit.
