Los Angeles Vegan Guides
Los Angeles is arguably the most vegan-friendly city in the US! It’s a vegan paradise, offering something for everyone, whether you’re strolling the star-studded streets of Hollywood, shopping in Beverly Hills, or soaking up the bohemian vibes of Venice Beach. The city’s plant-based scene is as iconic as its sunny weather, with an incredible range of options. Indulge in vegan twists on fast food, street tacos, and creamy milkshakes, or explore global cuisine with hearty Ethiopian platters, sushi burritos, and spicy Thai curries. You could easily spend a week in LA and not even scratch the surface of everything the city has to offer.
Beyond food, LA takes vegan living to the next level with annual events like Vegan Street Fair, Vegan Exchange, and Vegandale, celebrating all aspects of plant-based culture. When it comes to shopping, be sure not to skip a visit to one of the best vegan grocery shops in the US, Bestie’s Paradise. You’ll find seasonal specialty items, harder-to-find food items, and more. With its endless sunshine, thriving wellness scene, and unparalleled vegan offerings, Los Angeles is truly the ultimate destination for plant-based travelers!
