26 Best Vegan Restaurants near Rochester

“I've been in the restaurant industry forever. This place is a hidden gem! Disguised as a taproom and grill, this is the best fine dining I've had in awhile (minus the dress codeand stuffy ambience). We tried everything. The shrimp and pork belly fried rice, the dragon dumplings, the chicken wings, everything was ridiculous...the pizza was unreal and we just had cheese! The fish was amazing. Everything is quality. I could not believe this menu or our food. You must go! The prices were so reasonable. Regretting not taking a single picture. I think I was so wowed by the the history of the chef and the whole experience, that I forgot I had a cell phone w a camera! I live 2 hours away and will be back!“

“The mocha beignet’s with peppermint chips were absolutely the best thing I have had in a long time.“

“My order was ready in 30 mins, and slightly cheaper than the other Thai places in town. Definitely comparable with quality as well! Recommend! Also, I like that the shrimp don't have the tails still attached, I like to eat my food without having to play with it!“

“Great location. The baristas are very friendly and the drinks are always made correctly. Obviously with one to two people working at this busy of a location it's always going to be a little bit of a wait, but I've never had an outrageous wait time like some of the other reviews are claiming and I come here quite often, eight minutes is the longest I've ever had to wait in line here and there were five cars ahead of me so that's still pretty quick, All things considered“

“I was introduced a little over a year ago to Aroma Joe's while visiting with my girlfriend since then I've been hooked. By far the most consistent coffee spot I've ever been to. They have amazing coffee and great food for on the go. I would stock up before driving back to Massachusetts every weekend and try to stretch the coffee as far as I could til I was up again. Now that I live up here I get it fresh every day.“

“I travel through that area frequently for work and was happy to find this gem. Within walking distance from my hotel. The food is great and the cocktails are amazing. I don't normally do reviews, but have had such a nice and relaxing experience. Perfect place to unwind.“

“We had Deb as our bartender and I have to say she is a genuine person. We will be back. Thank you. It's gotten a bad rap since the fire but she really is a great addition. Give her a chance. We didn't eat so I couldn't review the food. All my love.“

“I love Roots! Everything is freshly made and the owners are wicked friendly! My favorite smoothie bowl is the PB Cup and I adore their iced chai. ❤️ Will definitely be back!“

“We love it here. Great drinks, food, flavors. Go here! Service is great“

“My boyfriend and I tried Sara Thai for the first time after passing through the area on a recommendation. We would give it a 10/10. Mai Tais were delicious. Pan fried dumplings were to die for. My boyfriend enjoyed the spring rolls. Pho was also delicious. They also proved to be very mindful of allergies. I have a shellfish allergy and after letting them know and placing our order; they realized the base of what I ordered had a ground up shellfish paste in it, they instantly came out to ask me if it was allergy or dislike. When I told them severe allergy they told me what on the menu I could get as they were out of the base of the vegetarian paste they could use in place of the shellfish one was. Not many chefs or restaurants would think of small ingredients like this being a contamination , so I really appreciated the awareness. Didn’t get pictures of everything, but attached is two great choices!“

“Best Thai anywhere near Barrington, Lee, and Northwood. Fresh ingredients are excellent, as is portion size for the $, and spice levels. Our favorites are the Chicken Kra Pow with 2 fried eggs on top, Panang curry, Masaman curry. Larb, and the crab rangoon is the best around, light and not greasy at all.“

“I’ve never had a bad meal here. Awesome sammies and salads. Smoothies are super healthy and delicious. Their curry chicken salad is one of my go tos for grab and go“

“Tried many years ago because of a classroom project we had in school, finally went back tonight to actually get food and it was delicious!“

“Tucker's is our favorite place to go for breakfast. The food is always cooked to perfection. I get their Sedona Skillet every time. It is consistently great. I love their specialty coffees, and my husband always gets a smoothie. It can be busy, so we always do their call ahead seating. Whether you go to Hooksett, Dover, or New London, the food is consistently good in every location.“

“Highly recommend this store - great selection, knowledgeble staff, convenient location and parking.“

“first try vegan, delicious 😋“

“First visit and not the last Great culinary and wine pairing experience. Everything was right and delicious. I loved the kindness and humility of the chef and his team, as well as their real love for the products and willingness to share their passion. Bravo encore“

“The Olde Craft Bakery : My daughter had been gluten free for a long time. We purchased this bread at the beginning of the summer farmers market and continued to purchase it weekly. It is fermented which breaks down the gluten. Not only could she eat it and not have her belly hurt but it tastes amazing as well! The whole family is hooked on The Olde Craft Bakery bread. We’ve tried just about every bread they’ve offered - all delicious. Another plus, unlike processed breads, one slice is filling. The loaves freeze well too. Thank you For making delicious, healthy bread for my family!“

“Eat or takeout a great burrito, bowl, or nachos. Each order is made to your specifications right in front of you. Don't forget to add a bag of chips. If they have cookies and you are dining in ask them to put them on their warning table so you can have warm gooey cookies after you finish your meal.

Dietary restrictions: GF and DF options“

“First time going tonight and will definitely go back. Food was great. Huge portions and enough left over for another meal. Waitress was very friendly and helpful with answering our questions. Definitely recommend the Farm“

“went there for lunch and my server kelly was on point and sweet as pie.“

“Great friendly service. Tasty food with an innovative twist. Had a great burger and salad. Amazing flavor. The waiter was very accommodating and attentive.

Great place with some great history. Used to be an old firehouse, hence the name.

Lots of choices for every food preference. Easy walk from. Paid parking lot.“

“Nice girls, good service but coffee grinds in my coffee ruined my morning

Update: Brian from Aroma Joes immediately reached out and apologized for my experience and made it right. I can’t wait to go back and try a “clean “ cup because the brew was tasty. These guys care about their product and their customers. Stay tuned for final review! LOL“

“Vegetarian options: Tons of veggie options in their specialty pies or you can build your own pizza with their veggie toppings

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free crusts available

Parking: There are a small number of free spots in the parking lot out back but it fills up quick. Plenty of street parking available nearby for a fee.“

“The three of us out of the family of four that ate the pork (either from the bottom of the pupu platter or chopped up in our fried rice) spent several days feeling like we were on death’s door thanks to food poisoning. I’ve never evacuated my bowels that much in my life without effort. This used to be our favorite place but sadly we will never do it again.“

“It's a very nice warm comforting place to eat at. It is not really a place to eat dinner at.... But breakfast, snack, lunch is really good. The only thing I don't like is their breakfast menu is only for breakfast, not snack or lunch, so that's a little annoying“
