50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Swarthmore

“Aria’s is fantastic, every item I’ve gotten from their menu has been full of flavor and so delicious! My favorites are the chicken kebab, lamb gyro, hummus, babaghanoush, baklava, and cucumber salad. I try to get something new as an entree each time I visit. The service is wonderful and everyone who run the restaurant are so kind and generous, thank you so much ???!

Parking: There is plenty metered parking on the street and in a parking lot directly across the street that is free at certain times.“

“Easily some of the best takeout I had in a long time. Everything tasted so fresh (especially the egg rolls!!), and the platters were big at a reasonable cost. They even have a nice vegan selection, which is an added bonus for those in need. This spot definitely stands out compared to all of the other places I've tried in Delco.

Vegetarian options: The veggie dumplings were amazing!

Parking: A small lot, as well as plenty of parking along the street.“

“Polite staff, easy in and out, great food!“

“These are the most generous people I’ve ever had the privilege of ordering from in my life. I’m going through a family crisis and I’m in town for the week. I’ve been eating wawa veggie sandwiches and French fries for over a week now and I decided to treat myself to something vegan so I ordered through grubhub for the first time. I guess I accidentally ordered it to be delivered the following day. So I just called them and asked them if they were able to change the delivery time. They said sure no problem but apparently they couldn’t find a GH driver so the owner drove 20 minutes to deliver it to me and I’m honestly about to cry after the week I’ve had. They will never know how much this means to me. I am a lifelong Boardwalk Vegan fan and cannot recommend them enough!!!“

“Dear god. We stopped here for breakfast on Sunday. As vegans know, getting breakfast out can be a challenge. Not so if you're close to Cheezy Vegan. An all vegan joint with an expansive menu available at all times of the day, including a full page of delicious options for breakfast, this place is amazing. The staff is terrific and the food outstanding.“

“I was in town from Pittsburgh this past weekend and had dinner with family. What a lovely place with amazing food! Our server was lovely and even brought us little complementary shots of the tomato soup. Had a lovely time and will return when I venture back to the SE. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My Frist Time Going There Was In September 2022. The Place Is So Nice And Relaxing, The Staff Was Amazing ?? And The Food Is very Delicious. I Really Enjoy This Place??? Thank You Brickhaus“

“I ordered lunch for my family, for take out. One item was loaded potato puffs. They came with a very small drizzle of sour cream and a few small pieces of bacon. most were dry and plain. Very frustrating as this was my husbands only food he ordered and will be eating 😔“

“I’ve been sober from alcohol for almost 7 years and this was the most enjoyable/comfortable dining experience I’ve had in that time. I’m not a vegan but the meatball parm and cheesesteak tots had me reconsidering. Also, the prices are really fair considering they include the tip in the pricingq. 10/10 recommend. Will be back soon!“

“Our food was fresh, delicious, and healthful. The service was charming. And the space is warm and inviting. We recommend it to everyone!“

“I have been eating here every Sunday for several years. And then I shop. Everything tastes great, everything is organic, mostly wholegrain and it is 95% vegan and is an amazing bargain! Jammed Yam (sweet potato with quinoa, black beans, pineapple, mixed peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, avocado) has been my go to for a while now, but I do get other entrees from time to time. There is always a special and a soup and if you get there early you might be able to get one or two of their $.99 vegan wholegrain muffins. Yes, you can mix and match any ingredients or pay $.75 to get extra. I also get a kombucha refill in my growler.“

“The food is fresh and delicious! We’ve in a few times and our servers have always been great too. The decor is gorgeous. A few times they have donated their amazing food to the teachers at my kids’ school for teacher appreciation luncheon. This is one of my favorite restaurants!!“

“My new favorite place for vegan milkshakes!“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The menu has changed, but the quality has not! From chaat, to lassi, to their desserts… we recommend all of it. One of our favorite places, and we can use uBerEats now so it’s even more convenient!“

“Can’t praise this place enough!! Their delicious food, kind and accommodating staff, everything was out standing and so yummy. Coffee was made exactly to my liking and tasted perfect.“

“The food is amazing and Employees are very friendly. I can not wait to go back .“

“Go here. You won’t be disappointed“

“Worth the wait...They screwed up our order and we had to wait an extra 40 minutes...but the pizza and cheesesteaks were so good we forgot all about it! Seriously, this place gives Angelos and JRP a run for their money. Top 5 cheesesteak and top 2 pizza in Philly, and in the conversation for #1. This place should be on every list.“

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.“

“We love this place. We live in Philly, but just stumbled on it one day. Maybe it’s the owner, but a visit there feels like a special occasion . The appetizer of pita with a variety of dips is incredible, and filling. Next to come are dishes of souvlaki, falafel, lamb brochettes, vegetables, rice and salad. They are known for outstanding baklava (even for those who think they don’t like baklava), AND chocolate mousse. We have brought relatives and friends here from Washington, D.C. and Harrisburg, and all were thrilled .“

“Ask for Ray — he’s the best“

“Great selection of freshly prepared and innovative food. Would definitely recommend the Mushroom Flatbread to share. Their “Fish & Chips” was delicious and boasted unique flavor combinations. Service is timely, and the ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Would come again if in the area.“

“Been going there for a while and I have nothing bad to say about it“

“Friendly, delicious! Loved this restaurant!“

“Sooooooooooooo yummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy you get Birria from some places that is so flavorless and just looks yummy let me tell you this is not that at all… their Birria is so yummy and flavorful!! Looks and tastes good! Comes with cucumbers and limes and yummy salsas too! You can order online without an upcharge. Pickup was easy. Highly recommend :)“

“After hearing many good things we had them for dinner tonight. We each got a wrap: the “favalafel”, chicken schnitzel, and beef brisket, plus we got the spicy lamb hand pie and “bff” crispy potatoes to share. The favalafel was tasty although the person ordering it suggested they’ll add hummus next time for some extra binder. The schnitzel was also tasty although a bite or two was more on the spicy side than the rest due to a concentration of the spread there. The beef brisket was a real stand-out although a bit messy to eat because of the sauce. The spicy lamb had a nice crisp wrapper and was spicy as advertised. The crispy potatoes were fried to perfection and the zhoug-black garlic ketchup was a nice accompaniment. We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“Everything was amazing from the style and the design of the place, the building, the service, the beer and the food. The pizza was perfectly cooked and the dough was delicious. the only thing is that I felt that it was a little too salty, maybe it was just yesterday, but I will have to try it again. The salt definitely made. My mouth feel overwhelmed with saltiness within the second slice. Nevertheless, they still deserve
Five stars but I hope they go easier on the salt and the pizza would be even more enjoyable.“

“Pretty good donuts. Really great and flavorful cold brew. Donuts have lots of fun flavors, but are a little too sugary (like, literal cane sugar taste) and a little on the expensive side. Would be nice if they also sold sandwiches like this vegan donut shop I like in Arizona, Sojo’s. Or like Grindcore around the corner.“

“Ordered the chicken satay, pad kee mao, tilapia lettuce wraps, and kings soup, and it was all fantastic. I've eaten a lot of Thai food and this did not disappoint. Surprisingly, the tilapia lettuce wraps stole the show, the fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce it comes with was so good. A small nitpick, but I wish I could have had the option to add more spice on both the soup and pad kee mao.“

“The breakfast sandwiches are NYC quality. The chicken salad is phenomenal. The mac and cheese will change your life. The owners treat you like you are family. Jems is a staple in the Springfield community. I can’t say enough good things about them. Stop by and see for yourself!“

“We ate there tonight for the first time and it was fantastic in every way. We met an old friend and between the two families had 6 kids under age 10, so we were not exactly quiet. We felt comfortable as our kids moved around the room, which was spacious and not cluttered. The food was delicious and fast. The ambience was pleasant and attractive and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was a great experience!“

“Awesome food, atmosphere, and beyond awesome friendly hospitality and service!!!!!“

“Customer service was great! Staff very friendly and personable! The food was delicious! Fresh ingredients, fresh vegetables and herbs! I never knew this place was here and just so happen to be in the area and stopped in! So glad I did! I have found my new pizza spot!“

“Tonight was our 1st experience here celebrating boyfriend’s birthday. The waitress was awesome at suggesting dishes and friendly. We felt like home, the customers from another table sang happy birthday song too. Overall, the food was professional tasty and melt our hearts. Totally recommend :)

Parking: The parking lot is at the back of the restaurant if there’s not enough parking in front of the restaurant!“

“Party of 10 this AM. Pam was the BEST! Food/service was awesome!!! Thanks Bookers!“

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm“

“I absolutely love this place been coming here on and off for about the past four months they do everything fresh, which I love from their salads to the wraps their fajitas and their smoothies top-notch and the value is really great. You get decent size portions, and you’re not gonna break the bank for healthy food. This is no-brainer and the staff is really nice. Great people that work the counter. The place is clean and there’s always parking.

Dietary restrictions: Very healthy food they offer all kinds of options from regular to vegetarian to vegan

Parking: This is often a side street that is very wide and there’s always parking

Kid-friendliness: It’s a nice clean place. It’s fine to bring kids there. There’s not much seating but it’s a good atmosphere. Always great music.“

“We had visited this place because we were craving soul food, and they did not disappoint. The jerk chicken cheesesteak was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. We also order the jerk chicken platter with collard greens, Mac and cheese, and yams and it did not disappoint. By far the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had from a take out place. The yams were so tender and the greens were perfect. The food was a tad pricey but it’s so worth it for the quality of the food. I definitely will be back for more. The customer service was also amazing as well!“

“Excellent food at reasonable price, good service, cozy and so close to home!“

“Ordered a birthday cake for my mom’s 50th from Kia’s and I cannot recommend them more. I worked with Rachel, and she was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to fulfill my requests. The cake was BEAUTIFUL, and absolutely delicious. Our guests raved!! Also, I want to say that the staff at Kia’s is so friendly and nice. Such a wonderful atmosphere. Will absolutely be coming back!!“

“Good quality food, really large selection of vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan options. I love any place that caters to a diverse set of allergies and dietary needs. I wasn’t super excited by the empanadas, but the Mediterranean platter was delicious. Service was very friendly, but I could see they were a bit overwhelmed with orders. I will definitely return and give the place another shot because they have a great looking menu.“

“Playa Bowls really has such a cool and chill vibe, great food options if you want something fun and healthy, and the Wayne/Villanova location has really friendly workers! I tried this place out when I was looking for a healthy smoothie post-workout, and I enjoyed my smoothie and experience so much, that I downloaded their app to get reward points! Going to Playa Bowls is now my favorite post-workout treat. I’m looking forward to going there for breakfast or a midday snack to try out some of their fruit bowls“

“In town for work at Logan Township, New Jersey from Indianapolis. Was recommended this place based off the food and atmosphere. The food was delicious and atmosphere did not disappoint. All the workers were super friendly and made it overall a great experience. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in New Jersey for work.“

“Saad’s has one of the best cheesesteaks in the city. Yes, you heard that right. The halal nature of their cooking means they have the finest meats, cheese, and bread. The steak was very flavorful without the greasy mess that a lot of others have. The fries are amazing, too. The place is a little small so getting it to-go is recommended. All-in-all, you can’t go wrong here.“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“First time eating at an Ethiopian cuisine, was not what I was expecting. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. In fact I also bought the spices to add to my cooking.“

“You can taste how fresh the ingredients are. It’s amazing!“

“Their food is consistently delicious. Highly recommend!!!“

“Amsale Cafe on Walnut Street is a hidden gem in West Philly that brings a burst of Ethiopian flavor to the neighborhood. The place has a warm, inviting vibe, and the menu is full of rich, aromatic dishes that make your taste buds do a happy dance. From perfectly spiced lentils to injera that’s just right, every bite feels like a hug from the kitchen. It’s the kind of spot where you can relax, enjoy a comforting meal, and feel right at home.“
