20 Best Vegan Restaurants near New Buffalo

“The location is great and the interior is beautiful. Bathrooms are very nice and individual stalls with sinks.
Our server was fabulous. He was honest about the food and answered all our questions. He isn't a drinker but was able to provide recommendations.
Our food was awesome. Our 2.5 and 10 yr old had options and were quite pleased.
I ordered the roasted chicken, which was truly delicious. My wife ordered the rigatoni and loved every bite.
Our kids were getting kiddy so we had to skip dessert but the server brought these cookie balls things on our way out.. Class act!

Weather permitting, eating on the patio is a must. Great views and comfy seating.

All in all, this was our favorite spot as a first timer to New Buffalo.“

“ordered garlic bagel toasted with cream cheese & veggies…Delish…loved the crunch… do you sell bagels by dozen for take home?“

“We just had the most amazing breakfast experience at Jackie’s Jackie Cafe! 😍 The blueberry French toast and low-carb frittata were absolute delights for our taste buds. Jackie Shen, known as the ‘Queen of Fusion,’ truly lives up to her title, seamlessly blending French cuisine with her cultural roots. A culinary journey that’s not to be missed! #JackiesCafe #FoodieHeaven #QueenOfFusion”“

“Amazing experience overall. I’m a very picker eater when it comes to burgers and I’d say this is the BEST burger I’ve had. The buns are toasted and give a crispy crunchy texture. Meat is cooked perfectly at medium and the sauce pairs nicely with it. Fries are so fresh and you can tell it’s made in house. My friends ordered the tacos and they also look amazing. Such beautiful view by the lake side. You can see the boats and jet skis sitting outside. So pretty and very friendly service. Nice vibe. Nice restroom with good quality napkins. That’s how I tell a restaurant or hotel actually cares about the quality they deliver. 10/10!!“

“I have been going to The Stray Dog for years. I have never had a bad experience there. The food is great and the service is superb! Also, if any of the ladies out there need a "personal plumber", I am available to service your unfulfilled fantasies.“

“Love visiting this place while we’re up in new Buffalo“

“I ordered food for carry out some months ago. The 'bacon' burger(I can't remember it's name) was hands-down the best vegan burger I've ever had, and I've had A LOT of them. It was just utter perfection. I also had fries which were delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies which were superb, and a very tasty and refreshing lemonade. The spot is minutes from both the outlet mall and the beach. The place was clean and cutely furnished. The person who served me(I believe the owner) was absolutely lovely. I live in Michigan, but I will certainly pop-in anytime I'm passing through, or I may just make a trip to MC specially for this burger. I hope this place sticks around! Highly recommend!“

“Visited the area for a long weekend getaway from Chicago - highly highly recommend this bakery.

Far and above the best carrot cake cupcake I’ve ever had. Delicious ginger cookie and decent cortado

Can’t wait to go back!

Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free and vegan options. Menu is 100% vegetarian“

“Another incredible breakfast this morning. First time having the Swedish pancakes — AMAZING. The hubs had his usual Chicken Scramble. Love it. Can’t wait til the next visit. Kayla always welcomes everyone with a friendly smile and + Rodrigo is a master in the kitchen.“

“In search of exceptional gelato, I specifically journeyed to Union Pier, which housed the closest gelateria, making it an ideal destination for my craving. This charming little shop, nestled in the heart of Union Pier, turned out to be the perfect spot for a delightful affogato pit stop.

Upon entering the gelato shop, I was immediately struck by the enticing array of flavors, each thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented. The employee on duty was incredibly helpful, offering recommendations that showcased their knowledge and passion for gelato. Their friendly guidance was immensely appreciated, making the visit even more special.

The highlight of the visit was the kalua tiramisu gelato, an insanely delicious choice that captured the essence of traditional tiramisu with a delightful kalua twist. Opting to pair this rich, decadent gelato with a freshly brewed espresso, I indulged in an affogato. The combination was heavenly—the warm, robust espresso perfectly complemented the creamy, flavorful gelato, creating a luxurious dessert experience.

The shop itself was very cute, with a cozy ambiance that made it a lovely place to relax and enjoy my gelato. The quaint decor and inviting atmosphere added to the charm of the visit, making it a memorable part of my special trip to Union Pier.“

“My absolute favorite pizza! Drive up once a month from Illinois to enjoy it!“

“Great ambience!! The tea bombs were amazing. I got the "Captain America" one with pomegranate and raspberry!! Anastasia is so nice and welcoming!! She will make you and even your kiddos something energizing and fresh❤🤩“

“Today was our first time eating here and will positively not be the last !! The food and the Service were both Phenomenal!! 10/10 For Sure“

“This was our first visit to the Staymaker, which is the restaurant within the Journeyman Distillery. We are visiting from Chicago and this was recommended and we were not disappointed! Everything was really excellent! From our charming and attentive server Hailey, to the amazing smoked trout spread app to the Trout entree and the brisket meatloaf. It was all so delicious! We will be back!“

“Great food! I really enjoyed the flavor and the staff were very friendly!“

“I’ve been trying to come here for years and it did not disappoint :)
We got the hummus sampler platter appetizer, and an entrée that was not on the menu called the kebab sampler platter. Both exceeded expectations.
I’d love to eat my way through the entire menu. The flavors were so subtle and aromatic. If you go, consider over-ordering because it’s such great leftovers food.
The atmosphere is simple and quiet inside and peaceful and shady outside. There’s a pond at the entrance with frogs and an herb garden up the front walk. The service from Brandy was cheerful and prompt. Overall one of my favorite dinner spots in the area.
The only opportunity here is hours of operation so I hope you can happen upon this wonderful spot when it’s open!“

“This is our first time visiting Three Oaks, and first time at Froehlichs. It’s a wonderful eclectic interior, and you can also buy all sorts of coffees, jams, candles etc in the back area. The foods was really good! We had the pepper burger and a corn elote salad with salmon. For dessert we had a mixed fruit mini pie (so fresh!) and the chocolate cake. Both delicious! Our server Jane was very nice and attentive as well. We will be back for breakfast!“
