Harlem now boasts a growing selection of vegan eateries.


In the past few years the neighborhood has welcomed not only a popular vegan chain based out of Atlanta, but the second location of an uptown pioneer—plus a vegan doughnut bakery.


Ready to start exploring? Here's where to go, from south to north:


East Harlem 1 E 118th St between Madison and Fifth Aves

A new bakery specializing in vegan donuts featuring creative ingredients such as matcha buttercream, peanut butter and jelly, and an Indian-inspired mix of saffron, rosewater and cardamom.


• East Harlem 52 E 125th St between Park and Madison Aves

• Central Harlem 349 Lenox Ave between W 127th and W 128th Sts

This East Harlem vegan pioneer whose fans include Mayor Eric Adams offers tasty Caribbean-style vegan stews served from the steam table, plus veggie burgers, fresh juices, shakes, and desserts.


Slutty Vegan opened in Harlem in 2023.

Central Harlem 300 W 135th St between Frederick Douglass Blvd and St. Nicholas Ave

Serving up plant-based burgers with names like One Night Stand and Sloppy Toppy, this fast-growing vegan chain out of Atlanta opened a takeout spot in Harlem last year.

This Ethiopian restaurant with a down-to-earth vibe features a fully vegan menu including the Ethiopian Veggie Combo, a plate of injera bread topped with classic stews made of ground chickpeas, red lentils, and more.
