50 Best Vegan Restaurants near White Bear Lake

“Parking was easy and the lot was very clean. There was a new hire taking my order and the surrounding staff treated her very well and with patience. I received much the same treatment and on top, the food was phenomenal for the price. Ordered the Kofte platter.“

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“Haven’t been here in a long time and picked it up last nite. Highly recommend! All dishes we got were fresh and delicious! My daughter has celiac and sam said anything on the menu can be gluten free, she loved the chicken and broccoli and he even packaged it separately to ensure it was safe for her. Highly recommend!“

“A friend recommended Pezzo for a ladies night out. My first time there. Food, service and servers were great and it was a very busy Home Coming night. I recommend it highly. I’m very thankful for the extra service I got when I needed it.“

“The best tap list in the Twin Cities northeast metro and guaranteed to have everyone’s favorite appetizer and meal on the menu. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting White Bear Lake and has the best patio in the historical downtown area. Whether you are visiting for the first time or lived here your whole life, you’ll love this place!“

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well“

“Over all best experience I have had. Thank you so much and I’ll be coming here more often. I am just starting my vegan journey and this place makes great food! The staff is super friendly too“

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.“

“The food was very tasty. Onion soup was not to salty or over powered with beef broth. Beet salad was very tasty. Shrimp tacos were plentiful and very tasty. The Baja bowl was very delicious.
Joshua was very friendly and helpful.
I would recommend the restaurant. I would come back again when we visit this area again“

“I forgot to take pictures!! TLDR: I need to eat here again & again! 10/10 for both food & vibe; it's also a space which educates about Karen (K'nyaw) culture with its art. I got the K'nyaw Pumpkin Curry & Bayar Kyaw. My friend got Yangon Beef Curry & Yangon samosas. The seasonings on all dishes were very fresh-tasting & well-balanced. I should've gotten it more spicy, because the medium could've had more heat in my opinion. Even though I hadn't had a meal all day, the pumpkin curry was so filling I couldn't finish it (more leftovers for later!). The kabocha (called 단 호박 in Korean) pumpkin pieces really complemented the layered flavor. I can see why K'nyaw people say good things about pumpkin curry! The bayar kyaw & samosas both had good seasoning and a nice dipping sauce. The Yangon beef curry was refreshing. Also, the ambiance/vibe of the former Marc Heu space is very nice. There is an upstairs! I noticed traditional K'nyaw clothing like nee for sale upstairs as well as other gifts. The artwork in the space was very compelling & thought-provoking, reminding me of stories that K'nyaw friends have shared. This space would be a great space to host events with catering or birthday parties, as well as for dates & catching up with friends.“

“Went to Pinz yesterday and met the new GM! Such a nice guy and so helpful! Will be back again soon!“

“Awesome food was skeptic at first but it's really good I scored a groupon for this huge platter. Will come back for lunch soon!“

“I tried Trieu Chau for the first time today I had the Bahn Mi. Absolutely fantastic the best bread ever and grilled pork!!! super fresh ingredients. I can’t wait to come back. I live about an hour and a half north of Duluth. If they brought this type of food up by us, they’d be a millionaire overnight nobody is making quality Vietnamese food.!!!!!!!!“

“Traveled to St. Paul from Maryland for a graduation, found this hidden gem. It was a great experience, the food was phenomenal. Make sure you check this place out. Food was great, service was pretty good as well. If it's your first time there, it's a little confusing trying to figure out how to maneuver through the cafeteria. The atmosphere is also a lot of fun make sure you check out the market. Mangia mangia“

“Super friendly workers. Delicious and beautifully prepared food. Immaculate dining room. They also do take out. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Some of the best Thai food in St. Paul, and very warm and friendly staff!“

“Papas Bravas 😍 u must try them.“

“Luv Ice Cream is a fantastic shop to visit. Their ice cream is delicious! The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We could have talked for hours! There are so many choices for vegan and keto conscious patrons. If you want wonderful sugar free options this is your store!“

“HIGHLY recommend Dark Horse. Since the reopening, anytime we come downtown St. Paul we make an effort to stop in and try something new.

Burgers 👌🏼 Pizza 👌🏼 Wings 👌🏼 Fries 👌🏼“

“the best food ever and the service is awesome 👌 love it“

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“I went twice during the insane "ICE" terror. First, to support a business then second because the food was excellent. The owner and workers there were so nice and pleasant despite the horror they were living through. I so much hate these gestapo raids on our immigrant communities. The Trump administration and all ice "employees" should be so ashamed of these tactics. They have hurt a lot of families and working people. I wish I had more disposal income to support this restaurant and many others. I definitely will be going back.“

“I’m a food court foodie, and this is a 5 star review, minus the bones in my goat masala - good portion, reasonably priced (even got a Wednesday discount), with a smiling, friendly owner.
The goat masala is delicious with yellow rice, salad and rightly spiced. If you stay at the Double Tree Hilton, you can use the skyway access, get off level 2 to get to the Town Square food court in like 50 foot steps. Lots of seating to eat or chat. This restaurant is closed Fridays.
Interestingly, both Indian/Mediterranean food are available including gyro bowls and baklava or samosas and biriyani.“

“The staff is superb. They are friendly, professional and make a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is fantastic and my young kids always enjoy looking for the cats.“

“I had a delivery order, it came fresh, and still hot, the breggsfast pizza is delicious, 1st time trying that one! My initial order arrived with Coke instead of diet and they sent a driver with the correct drinks! Always fantastic customer service!!“

“They don't want you to go unless you agree with them politically. 😒 #PoliticalStandards #NoGoing“

“My daughter and son in law visited Sunday, May 25th, 2025. Everything, with the exception of salad and Tour of Italy was awful. I had Create Pasta with Mushroom Sauce. Terrible watery, no flavor. Daughter had Zupa Toscan which was tasteless and watery. Her entree was Chicken Margarita flavorless with many green peppers on top. Such a disappointment for a reputed good eatery.“

“I don’t remember which dish my wife and I got but it was delicious. Service was great.👌“

“I haven't had much time to frequent this place much lately, but every time I do I have the time of my life. The staff is amazing, the food is incredible and the community is tight knit and welcoming. I couldn't have picked a better city to live in than St. Paul, and Pillbox is a major reason for it.“

“Pad Thai and spring rolls.“

“I rarely go out to eat because usually the food is overpriced and disappointing. It’s been so long since I enjoyed a perfect burger I forgot how good they can be. I am not kidding, the dream burger is some kind of special.“

“I traveled 30 miles for a special Parotta feast and they didn't disappoint me and made me to feel it is a worth it. Authentic style Parotta and Salna and other dishes. I like the ambiance very much. I strongly recommend it. The price is very reasonable.“

“The Bulldog has the best food and drinks, and Melissa is the best server in town.“

“Thank you for blessing the homeless! Saw the video of you giving several specials to those in need. :) will be making a road trip soon!“

“First time here and what a fantastic experience. I came with my daughter and we both loved everything about it—the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the meals were absolutely fantastic, and the wine menu was excellent. I can’t remember our server’s name, but she’s been serving for 40 years and it showed in the best way possible—professional, friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. This was one of those meals where nothing felt rushed and everything just worked. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“Overall an incredibly tasty, lowkey restaurant a few friends and I stumbled upon. We had momos, biryani, curries, and the chicken thali, all of which were incredibly flavorful (and actually spicy! Not just Minnesota spicy). The service was great, everyone was very friendly and attentive, and seems like a family run business.“

“So cozy and sweet, delicious food and great service!“

“It is what it is and it commits to the bit! Beers for every taste and sausages of outstanding quality and locality. We at the Mountain Man w Bacon Brine Kraut and hot peppers. BAM! Something to write home about. Holds down a lot of beer. The fries were much better than average.“

“I'm pretty obsessed with everything I've tried. And now I've turned on family members as well.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here! The food was absolutely delicious 🍔, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was wonderful, truly a culturally rich spot. I highly recommend it! ✨🍽😊“

“This place is AMAZING. Authentic and delicious! I love that they have a good variety of salsas and protein. step over Chipotle!“

“Had the best experience. George, Noah, Jake, and the rest of the staff are truly great at what they do. I had the dry aged NY strip and my wife had the tenderloin, Caesar salad, half dozen oysters, and the french fries. Very good! George (head chef) told us about the beef they source and Noah guided us to a new and better after dinner drink. Our server, Mandy, was very good and very hospitable. We love the St. Paul Grille!“

“I am so glad he reopened in town square! I have had nothing but amazing service from the Owner. He's by far the kindest guy you could meet that's running a corner store.

He always has my favorite snacks, a plethora of sparkling water, soda, and tea flavors. Must stop shop if you're downtown in the skyway or at the DMV and need a quick snack.“

“I've never had as good a aclzone anywhere as Sarpino's makes, at least the ones at the Oakdale, MN location. They are such a great blend of flavors and seasonings; the ingredients are always fresh and the crust is buttery and crispy, not overwhelmingly bready. The crust compliments rather than buries the abundant fillings. And they're ginormous - I get minimum of two meals out of one. And they're delivered hot and almost always within or sooner than the estimated delivery time (which is free- no need for Door Dash). Can't say enough good things about this Sarpinos! I never thought I liked calzones til I tried one of theirs.“

“I had already eaten most of it before I took a Pic but their stuff is super flavorful. And their fries are bomb too. My kid always gets a burger and fries. Their steak bowl is pictured and it is soooo good! Also very friendly people working there.“

“Took a little pause but we're back at it!

Spring vibes in the air, wanting something fresh and healthy but not a salad and also feels like a treat.... No better answer than going to Woodbury's @alohapokeco

Obviously there are plenty of places to grab a poke bowl but this one is just my go to when I want one. I usually grab and go with this dish while running errands and it always hits the spot.

My go to love it thing:
Crunch Bowl with marinated tuna and I change the base sometimes but enjoy a simple white rice to give a sushi vibe. (no jalapeño for me)

They have options for different bowls, sizes, bases customization and non raw meats too.

Sunshine, poke bowl, parked listening to a podcast while eating a quick lunch... perfection. Go check them out and enjoy!
