With animal-friendly food options definitely on the rise, it’s never been a better time to be vegan in Vancouver.
Here’s a look at 10 mouthwateringly delicious vegan eats—all free of meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey—from the city and the suburbs, in no particular order.

1. Chocolate cupcake with blueberry icing
Where: Fairy Cakes (3586 Fraser Street, Vancouver).
Why: Who needs a reason to eat cupcakes ($3.65 each, $39.95 for a dozen)?
2. Grilled vegetable panini
Where: Buddha-Full Juice & Smoothies (101-106 West 1st Street, North Vancouver).
Why: This is what other veggie sandwiches should aspire to ($7.95).
3. Scrambled tofu with spinach
Where: Sejuiced (1958 West 4th Avenue, Vancouver).
Why: There are plenty of bad tofu scrams around. This isn’t one of them ($9.75). Pay $1 extra to add Daiya dairy-free cheese for more deliciousness.
4. Blueberry cheesecake
Where: Organic Connections Café (15622 Marine Drive, White Rock).
Why: Even raw-phobes will love this dessert ($7).
5. Chocolate chip cookie sandwich
Where: Edible Flours (2280 West Broadway, Vancouver).
Why: The frosting alone will knock out your sweet tooth ($3.50). There’s a gluten-free version too.
6. Grilled mushroom cheese burger
Where: Loving Hut Express (Pacific Boulevard and Davie Street, Vancouver).
Why: The Supreme Master could teach Burger King a thing or two ($8).
7. Vegan chocolate ice cream
Where: Earnest Ice Cream, available at Woodland Smokehouse & Commissary (485 Commercial Drive, Vancouver).
Why: You’ll hardly be able to tell, but this luscious treat is made with coconut milk ($10 for a pint, including a $1 jar return refund).
8. Grilled Cheese Madness
Where: Chomp Vegan Eatery (7-201 Morrissey Road, Port Moody).
Why: Like everything at Chomp, it’s gluten-free goodness ($9.22).
9. No Animals, No Problem chocolate coconut donut
Where: Cartems Donuterie (408 Carrall Street, Vancouver).
Why: No one said vegan food has to be healthy ($3 each, $27 for a dozen).
10. Bun cha gio chay (vegetarian spring roll vermicelli)
Where: Three Jewels (1179 Commercial Drive, Vancouver).
Why: Despite what your parents used to say, you can make a meal out of spring rolls ($6.99).
