50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Hockessin

“Always a wonderful experience and easily our go-to place for ice cream despite being a good 20-25 minutes away! The staff is eager and welcoming.
The inside space is relatively small so large groups (5+ persons) can feel a bit crowded especially if others are still waiting on their order.
Management’s goal is to keep the customer flow going so it helps to have your order in mind well before you step inside. This is made easier with the their flavors posted a few places along the path to the entrance.

Any food allergies mentioned are shown immediate consideration either by your server verifying the listed ingredients in the huge binder they keep on hand or at least in offering to change the scoop (dipper) to avoid the chance of cross contamination.

Peak hours in the nice weather (especially Saturday afternoons in summer) often equate to lines well into to the parking lot although it generally moves at a consistent pace. At such times, finding a place to sit may prove to be a challenge, but there’s plenty of room to walk about and enjoy the “farm” atmosphere. A fun little game is to observe how far some visitors may have traveled. We’ve seen license plates from IA, MA and even AZ the summer months! The word has definitely gotten out that when visiting the area, Woodside Farm Creamery is a must visit!“

“best coffee I've ever had“

“Love Mexican Table and their unique specials menu! We recently enjoyed the Borscht soup, paella, jicama salad and choco flan. All were delicious. Oh and we also had great margaritas!! Will add photos in the comments.“

“I would normally recommend Six Paulpers, HOWEVER, last night's service was terrible. Not sure what the problem was. We first waited for quite awhile for a waitress, so we just went to the bar to get our own drinks. The waitress shows up, we order our food, and it took quite awhile to get to us. My husband got the French dip and fries, I got the cheesesteak egg rolls. The FFs were cold, greasy and had no taste. My egg rolls were burnt. I sent the FF's back, and asked to see if the chef would like to look at the FF's! She goes OK, but the chef isn't in, just the sous chef! And that was it! 🤣We had to go to the bar for another drink. We finally saw our waitress again for us to ask for the bill! Hope this was just an off night!😬“

“This was my third time at Ground Provisions over the past 6 months and I'm a big fan! I've thoroughly enjoyed the multi-course menu with the wine pairing in the dining room and at the Chef Counter. Both areas were lovely but being able to see the food prep at the counter was fun for my son who loves cooking. I also sat at the bar with a friend ordering from the bar menu. As much as I loved the little store, I appreciate the extra space they put in for dining now. I hope it continues to do well. So happy there is a fine dining option locally for vegan fare.“

“I came to Metro Diner this morning off the humbug. I was starving & was craving some chicken & waffles from somewhere close in the area. Surprisingly the chicken was very seasoned and crispy. The waffles were also very tasty and soft. The strawberry butter mixed with their signature hot sauce was also pretty good. Alicia was my server. She was such a doll :) Her knowledge of the menu is impeccable and she took very good care of me. If you are in the Newark area and would like some tasty and quick diner food, go there & ask for Alicia <3 Thanks Alicia will be there again real soon !“

“Ole Tapas has come to our event for two years in a row and they are definitely a favorite. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is always so kind and professional. I personally always recommend the street tacos. We are so grateful for the hard workers over at Ole Tapas.“

“Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and level of service at this restaurant. Ordered a scallop dish and a pasta dish and were totally blown away! Will definitely go back next time we visit.“

“sandwiches are so good! I haven't gotten the pho YET! but i have only heard great things. Van is so friendly! She appreciates her costumers, and she will make sure you know it. This is a small business that takes pride in what they serve, and you can tell by the taste and hospitality.“

“So I had never tried an Açaí Bowl, but my mini me Kalena raves about them. Last week she introduced me to the one of the most incredible food experiences. If you like them or if you want to try it, run don’t walk ( or drive quickly 😊) to The Juice Joint 2.0!!! The food is great, the owner and her staff are amazing and the atmosphere👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“The food, the energy and the intentions behind every dish from Drop Squad has always been amazing! I will support and be a continued customer no matter if they are in a brick & mortar, a festival or a order placed online from the Mother Ship. Keep proving these delicious vegan options to the collective. We need you!“

Their cocktails were fantastic, the coffee and tea list was extensive and diverse, and the food looked delicious as well - we’ll come hungry next time!“

“It was nice to have dinner inside a restaurant. You could see the care of clean up, the guests were spaced nicely. Our meals were fresh, full of flavor, and enough for a lunch the following day. Our server Pat was her ever charming self and mixes a great basil lemon cocktail.“

“What a perfect night, out waitress was just the best, so was the food, and your atmosphere is always terrific. Forgot how good you are. Sorry it took so long to return but see y’all soon.then Dick Vermiel stopped by our table. Yuper. Top that“

“We had a wonderful wedding rehearsal dinner for 30 people in this restaurant's backroom! Suki could not have been more accommodating. She met all the special diet requests we had: gluten free, vegan, and pescatarian without pause. She allowed us to set up our own bar and bring in our own dessert. Moreoever, she allowed me time to decorate. Her pricing is very fair and my guests raved about the food! High praise for this restaurants ability to handle small groups!“

“My husband and I have been coming to Chiwa Bistro since our first date in 2017. This place has always been a cozy spot for us. The food is OUTSTANDING. Dieu is an amazing server, we request him every time, and he takes care of us. He will always ask how we are doing with casual chatter. We’ve eaten just about everything on the menu at least once and loved it. I would definitely recommend coming here!“

“Everything on the menu is worth it. It’s so good! From the food, to the drinks, to the service!“

“Great food excellent service and fabulous atmosphere!! Highly recommend“

“We loved the food though the setting is in a very crowded farmer's market. We do not like any Indian restaurant in the north of Delaware, but this one proved to be very consistent in taste in the last 3 times we tried lunch here. Thali is our favorite“

“Just found out about this place a month or so ago and got to say they are awesome. Like Pho? Like Sandwiches? They got you! Pho Sandwich is awesome! All the flavors, but no soup. And the roll they use. Toasted goodness. Mmmm. Wish I lived closer.“

“Awesome as always ♥️ Awesome as Always 💚“

“Safe place to have a delicious meal and catch up with family and friends!“

“We've now had Viva Vegan make at least half a dozen custom cakes for us over the last couple of years, and they've all been excellent! The head baker/owner Evangelina can handle any dietary constraints. One of our recent cakes had to be gluten free and also avoid a few other common ingredients, and the cake was still very fluffy and moist and delicious... a big hit among all of our guests! She uses organic and high quality ingredients as well, which no other bakery in town does that I know of.“

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert“

“The place is clean with a friendly and nice atmosphere! My son and I had Oxtail Pho and Fried Calamari for dinner. It was quite delicious, and we did not have to wait long for the foods to be served. Excellent service! Good reasonable price for the quality of foods! The good nature and friendly chef also was outside at our table greeting us and brought out a good pot of hot tea to start. I had a chance of speaking Vietnamese with him! I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family here!“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“Rice has long been our go-to place in DE for sashimi: thick cuts (as they should be), always fresh, expertly prepared. We love the wonton soup and fried rice as well, and everything we've tried from the non-sushi menu has always been a cut above. Everything tastes prepared fresh that day; the vegetables are crisp; it's never overloaded with salty, gooey sauce. So many places just cover up mushy vegetables and old rice with sugar-heavy sauce because it's what we Americans expect, but this restaurant seems to actually care about putting out quality. The staff is always courteous, too. Thank you for the lovely Valentine's Day meal my husband just brought home. You all are doing a terrific job.“
