50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lakewood Ranch

“Hubby had the cod, ff and coleslaw. The cod was perfectly breaded very lightly, the french fries yummy and we never got to the coleslaw (taking home leftovers). I had the shrimp scampi fettuccine, in butter sauce – Yum! The bread with the oil dip was wonderful. I highly recommend this place and wish they were much closer to where I live (SRQ airport-could replace Primos! I’m just suggesting).“

“Best Thai food I've had! The Chirashi bowl was also amazing! It was so good that we drove 30 minutes to come back the next day for lunch. Got two rolls and another Chirashi bowl! AMAZING AGAIN! Service was top notch. Our waters stayed full both visits and we were always made to feel like part of their family. The place was quiet and the music was just right! We will definitely come back when we are in town again!“

“Food was great,but...The napkins were the worst smelling napkins I've ever come across,they literally smelled like a hospital gown“

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Libby’s and this was the first time for my wife. We found the LWR location to be convenient, great atmosphere, with a broad menu! Portions were bordering on excessive! But we powered through some absolutely delicious food! The staff ensured we were well taken care! Carlos especially was outstanding and made sure we had a memorable and tasty anniversary dinner! She ordered the orange chicken I had the brisket burger with truffle fries You can be sure We’ll be back! Soon!! Thank you Libby’s and staff for a great evening!“

“This place is amazing. Great food, great wine, great service and wonderful setting. Best place to eat in LWR, IMO!“

“This place is my all time favorite. The lava rock is just a neat experience overall. They have a unique variety of sushi rolls as well. I’ve been there probably over 20 times and it’s just amazing. ❤️“

“I made a reservation for four for prime rib. After ordering the staff said all gone. Normally this place honors its reservations but not tonight The manager came over and was smiling at us. Bad service and poor management. Be careful what you wish for.“

“Thank you, Grove, for a wonderful breakfast celebrating our friend! You graciously accommodated about 28 of us for an early Sunday morning brunch, and we truly appreciated the extra touches you provided for our group. The food was delicious, and Danielle did a fabulous job taking care of us and supporting her co-workers. Jennifer, the manager was very helpful! :)“

“This honestly seems to be the worst store ever. The drive thru never seems open and a mess inside the store. it's better to make the drive to Panera at UTC or find something else to eat.“

“It's rare to be able to walk into a place in America these days and immediately feel its warmth and welcome. This place is amazing. The owner/employees are so kind and warm, their greeting immediately recalibrates you to remember exactly what life is about - suddenly, I was making eye contact and smiling and feeling like I could slow down. Plenty of delicious, healthy juices, smoothies and drinks. But, most important of all, they had every indulgent food like pizza, pasta, or gyros, but the healthy vegan alternative, so I carried none of the guilt I usually do for wanting a pizza midday. The music is calm and low - think spa vibes, but with delicious juices, kind people, and healthy sustenance. You really feel like you're caring for yourself, and being cared for, while here.“

“Excellent my wife, Northern and I are very impressed as born and bred herbivores“

“We had dinner last night and can’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the food and service! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the host treated us to prosecco while we waited for our table. The filet, the halibut, the lobster tails, the desserts (especially the chocolate cake!) was all absolutely delicious!! Our server was wonderful as well! Very personable and had great menu recommendations. We will be back!!“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“Absolutely adored this lunch spot today! Great waiter, atmosphere, drinks and tasty food!“

“I love to share my food experience with other people, as local guide I write reviews and share photos of the best restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias and cafés I have tried during my world trips. I travel a lot and it allows me to try many places in US and abroad. Especially I love to try vegetarian dishes, even I’m not 100%, but only about 80% vegetarian. Surprisedly I found this very nice place almost next to my house in Sarasota. It’s not so easy to find restaurant with a very good sushi, colorful and 100% vegan in such small town like Sarasota. If you’re looking for a phenomenal not only vegetarian lunch or dining experience, look no further than LILA. Their menu is a culinary masterpiece, offering an incredible selection of dishes that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a true pleasure. I’ve dined at Lila several times and have never been disappointed – it’s truly a must-visit destination for any food lover (not only vegetarian).“

“The best gelato this side of Italy 😍“

“So delicious, everything is home made. It is a small intimate restaurant and the owners/chefs are so welcoming. The pasta is so delicious and the focaccia bread to the mussels appetizer to the lamb sauce over fettuccine was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The homemade mixture they serve with the bread is unlike anything we have ever had and it was their grandma’s recipe that made it extra special. I would suggest a reservation for this hidden gem!“

“Simple, tasty home-style food at a great price“

“This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! The food is soooo good (and original) and the service is top notch. From the beautiful smile and warmth that we were greeted to by Marilyn, to the friendly and phenomenal service by Lauren, and to the wonderful conversation and love exuding from the owner Suzanne…this place is a GEM. We were so blessed to come here for Easter brunch. Looking forward to (ALWAYS) coming back in the future!!“

“So happy this is here in our community! The owner, Gary, is always welcoming & only hires the friendliest & most helpful staff! They always make you feel like they appreciate you coming there. Love their Salted Caramel flavor! It is always spotless inside, too!“

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“Amazing wine, food and service!“

“Root & Seed Cafe is absolutely my type of place! From the moment you walk in, you can feel how much heart and care goes into everything they do. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the owners are truly such wonderful people.

I also love that everything is made fresh! And the gluten-free desserts are a huge bonus for me. It’s so nice to find a place where I can enjoy delicious, fresh desserts without feeling like I’m missing out.

Five stars all around!!! fresh food, amazing service, a beautiful atmosphere, and genuinely kind owners. You can really taste and feel the care that goes into everything. Highly recommend Root & Seed Cafe! ❤“

“First time here , Attentive Staff ,Food was presented well and Tasty,The only complaint was it was a chilly / windy day and they would not close the doors, when asked because they said people would think they were closed.“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“

“Best ice cream I have ever had!!!!“

“Just word of mouth heard of the place. What a well kept secret! The waffles delicious. The “Monkey” mural and motif are colorful and inviting. The dining chairs’ comfort is a cut above most (Yes, we noticed). The waffles exquisite. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The waffles scrumptious. The place deserves to be packed. The price more than reasonable. The waffles just the right amount of crunch and melt in your mouth delight.“

“I have been here twice now & both times have ordered the same. Order is Pad Woon Sen & Green Curry - both with chicken, medium heat, to-go, no bell pepper or celery.
Pro:
Followed special instructions perfectly!
Green curry is awesome 🤩 so good, definitely recommend.
Each meal plated 1/2 of each entree & got 3 complete meals out of this for $34.
Pad Woon Sen, (1st time), very flavorful with a lot of fresh, crunchy veggies & plenty of noodles.
Ready very quickly.
Con:
Pad Woon Sen, (2nd time), very bland with an abundance of veggies but mostly onions & carrots, not a lot of noodles ☹ & very, very dry.
They put curry in the crab rangoon so we did not order any. 😿“

“Really Great Food ,and service.“

“This bakery is hands down the best! Their cupcakes are absolutely delicious, with so many flavors to choose from—including fantastic vegan options.

I especially wanted to leave this review because they went above and beyond for my son's birthday. He had his heart set on their Cookies & Cream and Neapolitan cupcakes, and they made a special exception to make sure he got exactly what he wanted. That level of kindness and thoughtfulness meant more to our family than I can put into words.

The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding, and the care they put into our order truly made my son's birthday extra special. I'm incredibly grateful for everything they did, and we'll definitely be back for future celebrations. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for amazing treats and excellent customer service!“

“10 years ago I thought this was the best fried chicken in the world. Today it was not so good.“

“I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I love when I ask someone if they’ve ever eaten here and they tell me no. Not only do I get to introduce them to this amazing restaurant, amazing owners and staff, and hands down the best Thai and sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to, I also get an excuse to come eat the things I know I like or try new things. Definitely come try this place if you haven’t yet. I’m writing this review as I sit here waiting for sushi…. I was just here last night eating sushi…. This place is a problem for me. 😅🤣“

“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“First time today! Very good especially since im picky about my coffee.. look forward to my next visit ❤️“

“We love the staff and the atmosphere! Having a place to bring the dogs that offers an indoor and outdoor area is awesome, especially for Florida! There is always different events and fun things going on at boos ☺️ Perfect for humans and our furry friends!“
