50 Best Vegan Restaurants near North Branford

“My husband and I got married in October 2025 and J Cakes created the most amazing cake for us. Hope was so easy to work with and helped us create our dream cake. We went with a small two tiered cake — a cannoli tier and a chocolate peanut butter mocha tier (omg!) - with additional sheet cake of their most popular vanilla berry medley and it was the perfect size for our 125 guests. We got so many compliments and can’t wait to order more cakes from J Cakes in the future.“

“Finally was able to give Three Girls a try, it’s been on my list for a while, and it was even more amazing than I was anticipating! They were so friendly and the food is SO good. I love the mashed potato pizza! I cannot wait to go back!“

“We had such a wonderful experience with Kochin Hut! We placed our order around 2:30 PM, thinking we could pick it up before they closed at 3 PM. When we reached the restaurant, I realized I had accidentally selected a 5:30 PM pickup time instead.

Even though it was close to their closing time and the mistake was completely on my end, the staff were incredibly kind and understanding. They graciously prepared and handed over our food without any hesitation. On top of that, they even gave us extra plates and utensils, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

The customer service truly stood out — friendly, accommodating, and genuinely caring. It’s rare to find such hospitality these days. Thank you for going above and beyond! Highly recommend supporting this amazing restaurant. 🙌“

“Munchies makes the BEST cheese steak in CT hands down!! Sooo good!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had a great experience from the Old World Pizza Truck at a recent party. I thought I had seen everything possible on a pizza but there pizza topping combos were different, fresh and above all, delicious. The wood fired gluten free pizza was the best I ever had and the coffee & Gelato were a perfect ending. The Staff were friendly, helpful and great. This company has the pizza truck experience perfected. We'll Done, Thanks.“

“1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “Cypress Garden” sandwiches… both were delicious. The prices were reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. One was $10 the other $12 & this price even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!“

“Cute little coffeeshop with very good coffee“

“Love them! Oh how I wish I would round the corner and behold The Cupcake Truck!!! Sadly those days are gone. Worthy of the drive to East Haven I know what a pain Longing for the good old days when I could just roll up for some cupcakes it was so convenient. The flavors are delicious and frosting not too sweet.“

“Amazing fresh juices! Love the variety of flavors.“

“my wife and I were looking at places to go, There was Doma, Pasta Cosi, LaMonacos,Goodfellas, Cava, so many other places , But we optioned for Rossittos, and asking Branford locals they gave some mixed reviews, I made reservations for valentines day, We were looking forward to it, And then we Arrive, Its like a Noisy Bar as soon as u walk in , We were seated in the Back along a long wobbly bench seat Next to a filthy wall with an oil pipe coming out, We ordered, The wait staff was extremely slow, I get it , It was busier than they probably ever are considering the occasion, No excuse, we ordered cacio e pepe, And a Lasagna Simple, Casio Pepe which is supposed to be done with Romano Cheese and Black Peppercorns , And pasta Water to form the Gravy.....over Bucatini which is a hollow pasta Well what I got was Brown Butter and someone's leftovers in a Bowl The portion was literally 3/4 eaten when I got it, I immediately asked waitress what the hell is this, she ignored me and walked away, The waitress comes by after almost 30 minutes of it sitting on my table and uneaten, and asks how was everything and is something wrong, I explained that situation, and this is not what I ordered, Couldnt be, We sat next to a couple who ordered Pasta and the Portion was Very Large and looked delicious, Then mine shows up which is literally 2 fork full of pasta in a bowl with This gross looking Brown Buttery sauce and Green parsley I have Many Photos, the waitress asked what I wanted her to do and I was mortified and quipped Bring me what I ordered for 26 dollars , she said We just want to make ya happy sarcastically , I said there is Nothing you can do to make me happy, But bring us the check she did 45minutes later and it was 89 dollars For a lasagna and Cacio e pepe, one soda and a martini, I added it came out to 61 dollars so where is the additional 28 dollars, we paid , Said nothing No Tip and left, Never will I ever Return I guess they charge extra for someone else's Leftovers the kid forgot to wrap!....“

“This was my first time at Wentworth’s, and I’m so glad a friend recommended it—especially because they offer dog-friendly ice cream! It was my pup’s 8th birthday, and I couldn’t find a place that felt special enough until I heard about Wentworth’s. The team at the counter was amazing—so friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited when they heard it was her big day. My dog devoured her birthday treat (tail wags of approval!), and my mom and I were equally impressed. She had the chocolate chip raspberry and I had the peanut butter Oreo—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, creamy, and just hit the spot. We left with full hearts and full stomachs. We’ll definitely be back very soon. Thanks, Wentworth’s, for making our celebration so sweet!“

The flavor was unreal - rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. You would never know it was allergen-friendly. Every guest who tried it was blown away. The presentation was perfection. The cake was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding day… elegant, beautifully detailed, and crafted with so much care. It looked like something out of a magazine. From start to finish, Alyssa’s Cakery delivered quality, artistry, and heart. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!“

Everything was delicious and the waitress was so friendly and answered all our questions.

“On Saturday, June 11th after my Mom’s Memorial service I brought 35 people to lunch. The waitstaff was well organized, very attentive, not to mention the food was OUTSTANDING!! Everyone ordered off the menu, drinks were served along with appetizers and dessert. We all ate at the same time which is hard to do with that many people. I would highly recommend Cafe Fiore in Branford, CT to anyone who is looking to have an event or just a nice lunch or dinner. They staff worked so well together that I gave them a 30% gratuity. WELL DONE CAFE FIORE!“
