Vegan Food & Sweet Treats in Whistler, BC
You could spend all of your time eating at these four vegan cafes and restaurants! They have the best vegan food in Whistler — but this is just the start of the eating adventure.
The Green Moustache
4340 Lorimer Rd #122, Whistler, BC V0N 1B4, Canada
What’s served: Breakfast (until noon), lunch, & snacks (they close at 4 or 5 PM, depending on the day).
You might be surprised to find a fully vegan café in Whistler, but I think you’d be shocked to know there’s actually a fully vegan and gluten-free one, and it’s this charming spot! The Green Moustache is single-handedly ensuring its visitors and locals are being properly fueled with nutrient-dense and organic dishes so you can tackle Whistler Mountain or Black Comb Peak.
But there’s one problem, there are so many fantastic things to try!
You’ll want to start the day with a short stack of buckwheat pancakes topped with caramel cashew cream, berry chia jam, and walnuts, but you’ve absolutely got to come back for lunch. Nothing is better on a chilly day than one of their filling house-made soups or their hearty veggie stew with fresh mango salsa. They have plenty of gorgeous salads and wraps if you’re looking for something lighter. Save a little room for a chocolate avocado tart or no-cheese cheesecake!
Don’t tell the others, but this might be my favorite spots for vegan food in Whistler!

Naked Sprout Café
4433 Sundial Pl #1, Whistler, BC V8E 1G7, Canada
What’s served: Breakfast & lunch (they close at 5 PM)
Right in the heart of Whistler Village is this quaint vegetarian café. The menu focuses on filling comfort food in the healthiest way possible with local and seasonal ingredients.
To kick start your day, there’s nothing better than their carrot lox English muffin topped with dill cashew cream cheese and red onions or savory pesto mushroom toast. For an extra boost of veggies, don’t miss their full smoothie and fresh juice menu — Holy Kale (kale, apple, cucumber, lemon, and ginger) has my name all over it.
At lunch, the options are diverse — warm bowls of ramen in a spicy ginger mushroom broth or a classic Reuben with vegan smoked provolone — both pair perfectly with their house-made raw Snickers bar! The menu is super well-marked for vegan and gluten-free options.
BReD Made by Ed
206-2067 Lake Placid Rd, Whistler, BC V8E 0B6, Canada
What’s served: Vegan baked goods, bread, and treats
You’ll want to hop on a bus or grab an Uber or Lyft and hightail it 15 minutes south of Whistler Village to this drool-worthy vegan bakery — the only one in the area!
As soon as you walk in the door, you’ll be met with a cloud of freshly baked bread and cinnamon — it just might put you in a carb trance. The bakery is well known for its gorgeous naturally-leaven sourdough and wholegrain bread that are baked fresh every day, but they also always have a selection of cinnamon rolls, cookies, and cakes. Gluten-free friends, you won’t get left out; they do have a couple of flour-free treats — peanut butter blondies and double chocolate and tahini brownies.
If you’re staying in town or nearby, you can order all of their goodies, fresh bread, coffee, and even pizza dough ahead of time — I can’t think of a better place to stock a vacation pantry!

Check out their eggless breakfast wrap filled with spiced lentils, potatoes, veggies, and vegan cheese in the morning. When lunchtime rolls around, you’ll have a difficult decision. Will it be a veggie-packed Superfood Salad or a filling Forager’s Pie (veganized shepherd’s pie)? Just make sure you get in there before 3 PM!
