    Add Origins Cafe to list.
    558 Beaver Meadow Rd, Cooperstown, NY 13326
    Phone: (607) 437-2862

    This is a beautiful and unusual setting for a restaurant. Tables among the nursery center’s exotic plants. They shop everyday at the farmer’s market and then make up their menu. Has vegan cheese for substitute in dishes. Food was excellent. We had gazpacho, quinoa salad, a sweet potato/black bean veggie burger (HUGE!), and a vegan burrito. Lavender infused lemonade to cool us off. Wonderful and serene and close to the action at Dreams Park!

    Hey Getcha Hot Dog
    Main St
    Cooperstown, NY 13326

    We went in to grab some vegan hot dogs to go back to Dreams Park for closing ceremonies. Don’t understand why more places don’t sell vegetarian hot dogs. Anyway, these were the best veggie dogs we’ve had – – really tasting like the real thing. Just the ticket to watch a baseball game. Fries were really good too. Good prices.

  3. Bonnie says:

    Hard Ball Cafe
    99 Main St, Cooperstown, NY 13326
    Phone: (607) 547-1273

    Vegan options available if you ask for “no cheese”. Had a great vegan quesadilla and grilled vegetable wrap. Good drinks too. So if you are trying to find a place to satisfy the omnivores and vegans with you this is a good choice.
