281 Essex Street
A vegetarian spot that’s great for lunch or dinner. Their specialty is grain and vegetable bowls with their famously yummy sauces. Order a bowl that’s vegan by default or ask to customize one with tofu or nuts instead of egg or cheese. They also have lots of smoothies, coffee, tea, and fresh squeezed juices. One of the healthiest vegan choices in town.
Goodnight Fatty’s
1 Washington Square (behind a brick wall at the corner of Brown and Washington)
This is a high-concept dessert and breakfast spot open only on the weekends (Fri-Sun). On the first weekend of each month, they have special vegan cookie, and their cookies are MADNESS. Always different, always decadent. If you don’t happen to hit it on that first weekend of the month, they always serve up vegan chocolate ice cream. It’s extremely rich chocolate. You’ve been warned. Eat in their nice little courtyard or in Salem Common across the street.
Kakawa Chocolate House
173 Essex Street
Kakawa has a surprising number of vegan hot drinks and chocolates. Check out their chocolate seltzer, various elixirs and hand dipped fruits. If you like chocolate, you’ll be in heaven here. They also offer a roomy double dining room to sit in and enjoy your treats.
