50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Ithaca

“Enjoyed lunch here with my husband. Neither of us are vegan but we really enjoyed our meals. Quick service in a cute and clean atmosphere.“

“Me and my boyfriend had a great time! Food was amazing“

“I ordered a pizza a short while ago and it is OUTSTANDING! All the ingredients are very fresh, the sauce and crust are just how I like them and it looks amazing. I think this is the best pizza in Ithaca and it will be my go to place from now on! About a month ago I had an issue with a Door Dash order and Nate went above and beyond to make it right.“

“Fantastic Restaurant!! A must see and delicious healthy cuisine!!!“

“We both really enjoyed the pizza. Love the crispy crust too! Toppings were fantastic! We will definitely need to come back! We'll spread the word!!!“

“Probably the best tacos my wife and I ever had. Was camping in watkins Glen and shot over to Ithaca to check out the city. Stopped here for lunch and did not disappoint. We had the a combination on birria, El pastor and a steak quesdilla. We worth the price. Each taco is 5 bucks and the quesidalla was 10. We had to come up for a 2nd round. Very friendly behind the counter. As soon as you order the immediately start making your food which makes it come out fast, hot and fresh. I wish it was closer to home so I can come back. Would recommend swinging by and even grabbing a taco. It is well worth the price“

“We've been going to Dolce Delight since they opened & have always enjoyed their delicious coffee & baked goods, as well as the easy & homey atmosphere. The whole Dolce crew makes you feel like family.“

“Went here twice on our recent stay in the area to try different options. The tofu and broccoli in garlic sauce was one of the best tofus I’ve ever had. The sesame tofu was also amazing. The menu is laid out so that you can easily identify the vegan dishes, which are plentiful. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.“

“Wonderful restaurant! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they really know how to make customers feel comfortable. The restaurant is very clean and has a great atmosphere. Excellent service and an amazing team. Thank you for such a great experience! Highly recommended!“

“We love the Milkstand! It's a locally owned and sourced restaurant with a wide variety of choices on the menu - all of which are available all day. The wait staff is always very good, our server today, Jennifer, was definitely a five-star server. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Just a great place to go!“

“Silo Fried Chicken – Food Truck Battle Edition Crispy, flavor-packed bird that came with “Truck Gravy” so good I briefly considered using it as skincare. The strawberry lemonade was fizzy which isnt my thing—but that’s a me problem. Ate it at their mobile bar like a civilized human. The owner? Cool as hell. I’d follow this truck like it owes me money.“

“Best place for a sub!! We love it here“

“My daughter and I love coming here and just sharing a delicious scoop of the best ice cream in town! Definitely worth it“

“Fantastic food! We sat at the bar for lunch and it was amazing service. Highly recommend!“

“great pizza, my sister n I loved it“

“Always a great time! Excellent ice cream and treats!“

“My boyfriend and I went here together for the very first time and had an amazing experience. The food was fresh, the service was quick and our waitress was very kind. The only drawback to our experience was the manchild in the restaurant when we arrived. He was sitting at a table with 2 others dining in as we were, and decided that screaming at the waitress, the chef, and 2 other employees was an appropriate course of action after there was a misunderstanding when he and my boyfriend ordered something similar and the manchild was accidentally brought the wrong dish. With an air of not so subtle racism, he accused them of doing it on purpose, and demanded all of their meals (his as well as his other two very unfortunate dining companions) be completely comped, to which the other unfortunate people dining with the manchild, all completely horrified of his behavior, paid their tab and wanted to leave quickly. The employees at the establishment handled the situation SO professionally and immediately did everything to remedy the situation, which made our experience there even better. We ordered food to go, and will definitely be recommending this location to others and returning here our next time in Ithaca. Hopefully manchild will stay at home and cook his own food next time- and again- kudos to the lovely staff at Saigon!“

“Went with a group of 4 Freshmen college students. All the entrees and the pizza were really good. Good portions. Friendly service, it was very busy, but the server did very well while tending to several big tables at the same time! Will definitely be back.“

“Terrific menu ,service portions everything was delicious will return and bring friends.“

“Best latin American food in Ithaca! Their new bar has the best margaritas!“

“Awesome food great service“

“Something for everyone ! Always delicious. Desert stone cookies 😋“

“We highly recommend the unique cultural experience at The Yellow Deli and its Irish and Brazilian influences created by the 12 Tribes of Israel.

Lovely couple and staff. Gorgeous woodworking throughout that is an artistic delight around every corner. The Mate tea with cream and honey won e over, despite being an avid coffee drinker.

Their waffle is made with spelt flour and is a flavor fest. My husband and I ordered the kid's size waffle to share on the side. It was the best waffle I have ever tasted.

Their breakfast eggwich was on an egg bun and container a number of ingredients, including spinach, that had me closing my eyes as I savored each bite. My husband built his own turkey sandwich on rye and couldn't stop talking about the incredible rye bread, and even the tasty kettle chips he had on the side.

Don't miss this hidden treasure within the Ithaca Commons shopping area.“

“Shortstop deli is a go-to stop for me. Kristen always provides top-notch customer service! Definitely recommend.“

“Had an excellent dinner with great service on a busy evening. Fantastic! Thank you, Sunny Days of Ithaca“

“My boyfriend bought a piece of pizza at Press Bay Alley today from Adelina’s truck. I had already eaten lunch but couldn’t resist taking bite after bite of his pizza. The contrast of crunch and warm softness was perfect. The sauces, textures and flavors were fresh, thoughtfully balanced and paired, and the best way I can put it, is that you can taste the intention in this food. It is so hard to come by food that has this kind of presence. If you are going to eat some pizza, this is it. Bravo 💛.“

“Literally Everything here is sooo good!! From the milk teas to the food!! Great atmosphere, and friendly staff.“

“The Corned Beef Hash special was amazing! please make it a regular menu item 👌“

“A lovely cafe for any juice, smoothies or bowls. I tried the celery juice and matcha latte. Both were really good. It’s very hard to find good matcha latte around the area, so I’m glad to have discovered this place.
Inside the cafe it’s a little small and only limited seating.
I wish they would open before 9 AM to so I can get a juice on the way to work.“

“Just had this for the first time the other day! It was delicious and the people were soooo nice! Food was done quickly and a good price. My favorite was definitely the chicken tikka masala done spicy! Yum! 👏👏👏“

“Absolutely Outstanding! Will definitely come again when in the area.“

“I had the lemon artichoke pasta . It was excellent along with the service !“

“Graduated from Cornell in 2009 and I still think about my go to BLTease with Ginger Miso dressing 😂 So glad to see Temple of Zeus is still going strong and has a social media presence!“

“I have always loved spicy Asian, but last night was a super great night for them. We got the Fish in chili oil, Mapo tofu, Singapore noodles, sautéed bok choy, Steamed dumplings and sautéed spicy garlic string beans. All five of us eating were in absolute heaven. Because everything tastes like Sysco food these days and is so expensive I never go out to eat anymore except here (and Poke LAVA). Such a treat and worth every bit of money. I haven't enjoyed a meal this much in forever. I wish I could eat this multiple times a week. 10 stars“

“Great Ethiopian food made as per African cuisine snd served by friendly staff“

“Wonderful, friendly staff and great food. Excellent prices and location - close to Ithaca Commons.“

“What a beautiful experience. We arrived for an early dinner after a long hike (Buttermilk Falls). Our dogs (2) received the best welcome!!! A lovely big bowl of fresh cold water and bacon appetizer for them!!! And to top it off, our food was excellent! Staff were lovely!! Our server, Gina, made our visit very warm and welcomed!!! Will definitely go back again!!! 🥰“

“Always and consistently the best burgers and ice cream!“

“The best place for Mexican food in Ithaca. Dos Amigos has been the shining light during quarantine with fast delivery. The brick and mortar in college town is wonderfully designed. I love being able to place a order online and get a text when it’s Ready to make the short walk to pick it it up. ❤️❤️“

“This place is amazing , food is great Definitely authentic Italian food . We love it 100% ❤️ The only disappointment is this guy named Steve (sever) he’s so rude. The way he talked to he’s coworkers is unbelievable. No respect at all specially with young people. Hopefully the owners are aware of this guy behavior.“

“I ordered a Margherita pizza and salad and it was delivered via Uber. What a GREAT experience! The food was AMAZING, and it arrived exactly when promised. I just warmed up the rest of the pizza for lunch (the afternoon after), and it was just as yummy! Fabulous crust! I’ll not get pizza anywhere else, after being a devoted customer of Pizza Aroma for two decades. I wish I had taken pics of the pizza, but I was waaaaaay too hungry, and I was not disappointed! Thank you Pronto! ♥️“
