A new cereal-centric cafe hidden behind Abbot Kinney allows you to build a bowl from the Trusty (old-school standbys like Rice Krispies and  peanut butter Puffs) or the Tasty (new-school paleo granola, chia pudding, or acai) sides of the menu. And that’s just the beginning.

Two girls and a guy own this Pilsen vintage haven.

A Seattle staple since 1991, Cafe Flora uses local, organic, and sustainable produce and herbs to create imaginative and dynamic vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free cuisine.

The garden atrium offers alfresco dining all year, with exotic greenery and a bubbling fountain.

Friendly and knowledgeable servers are happy to fill your belly (try the pasta primavera made with shoestring zucchini) and your brain. Rawesome smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, and desserts you won’t believe (we recommend the caramel bar) nourish your body, while health-conscious educational events on Thursday nights leave you hungry for more.

Situated in the center of Austin’s South Congress, Bouldin Creek Cafe is a hippie hangout with breakfast tacos aplenty. If you’re not the egg-eating kind, ask for the tofu scramble alternative.

This homey and healthy East Village haven proves that no dairy, refined sugars, preservatives, and animal products doesn’t mean no flavor, especially when it comes to the tempeh Reuben. Reservations are a no-go, so sneak in before the crowd, especially on Lasagna Tuesdays, for the famed vegan lasagna with tofu ricotta and seasonal veggies.

Organic, vegan, raw — sure, you could call Thrive the ultimate hippie hangout. But one bite of the living lasagna and you may just let your hair down. Stop in for lunch or Sunday brunch and indulge in smoothies; juices; kombucha on tap; “tuna” nori rolls with seaweed-vegetable paté; spaghetti and nut balls made with spiraled squash; and truffles for dessert.

We never associated veganism with fine dining — until we had our first revelatory meal at True Bistro. Settle into the elegant dining room for decadent yet guilt-free dishes such as red curry with tofu, crusted tempeh with pea and shell bean ragout, and blackened seitan with creamy grits. The allergy-prone give thanks for the gluten- and nut-free menus; kudos also go to the suggested wine pairings listed beneath every entree.

Completely organic and raw as raw can be, the fare at Gingersnap’s Organic proffers an exciting mix of flavors that quash any doubt about uncooked food. Even a burger craving is sated with a patty made of cauliflower and almond that’s just as stomach-filling as the real deal.

Plum is doing its part to change the way the world thinks about vegan food.

Noodle lovers slurp it up at Wild Ginger, where pan-Asian vegan dishes erase all memories of pad thai filled with eggs and shrimp. Also worth a bite: curried samosas with mint chutney for dipping.

If you’ve always had a rocky relationship with Brussels sprouts, know that Chef Rich Landau’s elegant preparation of everything from rutabaga to beets is leagues away from what Grandma set on the table.

Mountain climbers and Hudson Valley outdoor enthusiasts congregate at this village spot by the Wallkill River for locally sourced, conscientious vegetarian food.

Head here the next time you’re wondering how to best spend your lunch break. The veggie burgers and Philly steaks sway even hardcore carnivore buddies. Add a side of sweet potato fries and satisfy ice cream cravings with shakes and banana whips.

Because vegans have birthdays, anniversaries, and promotions too, this raw restaurant in a tony townhouse (an offshoot of Elizabeth Petty’s catering company) comes alive once a week for a prix fixe feast. Friday night’s menu changes weekly, but we cross our fingers for meals that start with dates wrapped in coconut “bacon” and finish with raw chocolate ganache tart topped with thyme sauce.

Revelation: The burbs can produce creative, sophisticated vegetarian fare that rivals anything found in the city. Newton’s Walnut Grille makes you forget about meat with house-made salad dressings (creamy Caesar, lemon truffle oil), vegetable lasagna, and Tuscan fig and oyster mushroom pizza. Return for brunch and the polenta Benedict, bourbon pancakes, and vegan smoothies.

A vegetarian diner? Be still our healthy, hipster hearts. The three-meals-a-day bonanza starts with breakfast indulgences like French toast stuffed with vanilla nut vegan cream cheese.

And the coconut-based vegan frappes are enough to make you foreswear dairy forever.
