The eclectic menu changes daily, but entrees include tofu scramble, vegan quesadillas, baked ziti, sloppy joes, and mac and cheese of all sorts. They do brunch on the weekends, and because they’re a grocery as well, you can also pick up some personal care items. If you’re taking your food to go, however, bring your own container, as Plant Base aims for zero waste!

PLNT Burger

PLNT Burger is a straight-forward vegan burger shop. The patties are Beyond Meat, the “cheeses” are vegan, and the fries are herb seasoned. Pair it with an oat milk based soft-serve or a sweet tea, and you’ve got a nostalgic masterpiece of a meal.

Renegades of Sunset

Wash it down with a kombucha or a kefir water, and enjoy the outdoor seating while the weather’s nice. If you don’t want to leave the house, that’s fine too: they deliver.
