23 Best Vegan Restaurants near Shirley

“First time here, and very extremely impressed with the food and service. We went on a wednesday, When we first arrived there was a small wait. Very surprising for midweek from my experience. Once we settled in, placed our orders, and got our apps; it was easy to see why. The chef here really knows what he is doing. Everything was cooked to such perfection, all local farm to table ingredients, such great amazing flavor. 👏 we plan to return very soon“

“Just went to the Lazy Bubble for the first time. It was amazing!! The food, service and ambiance were perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“Went for first time 3/3/24 and caught the end of the brunch buffet around 4pm. The food was flavorful, fresh, and overall excellent. Something for everyone in that buffet -it's not overly seasoned, and they had several deserts that use natural sweeteners (like dates and figs) with no added sugar. They keep the food areas very well attended and clean. I will be back again and again, what a great find!“

“We got married at The Herb Lyceum in November 2025, and it was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. The property is absolutely beautiful — romantic, warm, and full of character — with gardens, historic charm, and such a unique atmosphere that made the entire day feel magical and deeply personal.

What made the experience even more exceptional was the staff. Ariel and Elisa were wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and wedding weekend itself: organized, responsive, calming, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Our guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was and the TASTY FOOD . If you’re looking for a venue that feels intimate, curated, and unforgettable, The Herb Lyceum is incredibly special.“

“Stopped in today. Very friendly owners and fantastic food. So glad to have this place 40 minutes from home. Well worth the drive.“

“I highly recommend smokestack roasters. Grate atmosphere good vibes high quality products everything was amazing. Highly highly recommended 🙏“

“It's the perfect setting for a night out with someone special, a friend or otherwise. We sat outside, had a beautiful view of the mountains, seating was quaint, and they had some soft music playing in the background. The food was not every-day fare, it was creative, delicious and perfect. I recommend the striped bass with sweet potato puree, and a sauce made from a plum wine. I paired with the strawberry rubarb wine..... every sip and every bite was perfect!“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“We absolutely loved working with Dolce Amar Sweets! Not only was the dessert stunning but it was also incredibly delicious. Our couple couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved it! The design perfectly matched the vision and overall aesthetic, and the flavors were spot-on. The team was also wonderful to coordinate with, responsive, professional, and so clearly passionate about what they do. We’d happily recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding cake or dessert display!“

“They make the best bagel I have ever had. So good and super happy to have a place like this in our town!“

“The food is amazing, lovely friendly atmosphere, great prices too. We will be back!“

“The staff here at Robust are always so sweet, and they do an incredible job making my latte every morning. Every time without fail they hand my drink to me at the perfect temperature, hot enough to last my commute but not too hot that it'll burn my mouth. I'm totally hooked on the biscoff cookie butter latte. Their breakfast and lunch sandwiches are also fantastic.“

“This is our favorite Thai restaurant! We have been coming here for years for their Thai fried rice with chicken and shrimp, their drunken noodles and soups. Their food quality and consistency are the best from all the other places we've visited. The food is full of flavor. The portions are very generous and the prices are low. We feel very welcome here. They even remember what we like to order and customize our ingredients preferences. The older lady running the restaurant now is very sweet.“

“This is the place to go for a clean, healthy, and delicious meal! I love the creative food and flavor combinations, locally sourced. Recently had the roasted garlic, zucchini and spinach… it was soooo good! It’s amazing what this one-woman show can whip up.“

“Ordered the crab rangoons, Thai basil chicken fried rice, honey chicken, and drunken noodles. Sooooo good, best crab rangoons I’ve had anywhere, and the Thai basil fried rice was perfect. Our new favorite takeout place!“

“I went for the first time, even though I didn’t care for what I ordered, I will go back again! ( I tried something new) The two people working were very friendly. They made every effort when I told them I didn’t care for my meal. I ended up with bagel and cream cheese that was really. My friend had a blt, she loved it. It’s comfy and nicely decorated.“

“We checked this place out after driving by numerous times.....and we we're not disappointed! It was really yummy and the prices were good. The only thing is if your not paying attention you could get lost,lol😉“

“My husband and I went here for the first time on Friday. We were famished and the smash burgers did not disappoint! Juicy and delish with the best crispy on the outside fries. We grabbed cookies and cream muffins to go and they were beyond amazing! The staff is super friendly and attentive. We even got to meet Franny! We will definitely be back and highly recommend you check this awesome diner out if you haven’t. You won’t be sorry and will want to go back for more!“

“My colleagues and I visited this establishment directly following our performance at GrotonFest, which was held nearby. The staff was very courteous and obliging. Lauren, our server, was particularly pleasant. We shared some lighthearted conversation, and our food was served promptly. The meal was substantial, the staff was friendly, and the view was extraordinary. The Rusty Randoms highly recommend Forge and Vine!“

“In my top 5 restaurants I’ve ever been to. Never disappoints!“

“Primo's Pizza is always good but tonight it was more than good, it was delicious! They did it exactly the way I like it and it was to perfection. Thank you Primo's Pizza.“

“​I love this place! The food is always really good and the service is excellent. I've been here a few times now, but this is my first time leaving a review. You have to try the chicken Alfredo—it’s easily one of my favorite dishes here!“

“I get lunch here a few times a week as I work close by. I only have a 30 min lunch so I always order through the app and use the super convenient curbside pickup. I never have an issue with my food or service. Today my lettuce in my salad was pretty rotten. I called to let them know so they could toss what they had left and wouldn’t have any other complaints. Manager offered to refund my money and I said no. Not a big deal. 10 minutes later the manger was at my work dropping off coupon cards for me! What incredible service! She is the manager and she is running food for curbside, answering phones, AND driving to peoples work to make orders right?!?!? Someone give this woman a raise! And everyone reading this please be nice to your food service workers. They are feeding us during a global pandemic. Thank you!“
