The Best Vegan Brunches in Los Angeles
After a hard work week or late night of fun, break bread in one of LA’s herbivore-friendly establishments. Sunday is brunch day, as they say—but sometimes Saturday, too.
Cafecito Organico
Cafecito Organico is a beloved coffee shop whose Silver Lake location partners with D LA Tostada on weekends and special occasions to offer fresh breakfast burritos, tacos and bowls, most of which can be made vegan. Look for the Roasted Poblano and Corn Tacos La Crème or nibble on the popular salted vegan chocolate chip cookie (which you would never know is gluten-free).
Crossroads Kitchen
For a classy brunch and celeb spotting, Crossroads Kitchen is the place to be. Chef Tal Ronnen (whom Oprah called “the best vegan chef in America”) opened the original Crossroads on Melrose in March 2013. A second location debuted in The Commons at Calabasas in October 2022.
Wet your whistle with a bottomless Mimosa or housemade Sangria, then tuck into the Bagel Tower with Yeastie Boys mini-bagels, kelp caviar, smoked carrot lox, smoked "whitefish" salad (made from fresh hearts of palm) and more. Brunch plates include the Crossroads Benedict with potato rosti and seasonal fruit; Stuffed French Toast with house breakfast sausages; and deep dish Sicilian pizzas (GFO). Save room for the Caramel Chocolate Popcorn Tart with crunchy puffed rice, popcorn crémeux and vanilla chantilly.
Gracias Madre
Weekend brunch at Gracias Madre is a fine dining experience in a beautiful WeHo location that boasts one of LA's best patios. Purista Margaritas by the pitcher pair nicely with Potato Pimento Flautas, soy chorizo Oaxaca Bowl, or a trio of Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos.
Just What I Kneaded
It's all-vegan all the time with sweet and savory mouthfeels at Just What I Kneaded in Frogtown. The outdoor patio fills up quickly for good reason - Just What I Kneaded takes the cake when it comes to breakfast sandwiches on homemade bagels (the Joe Cool is the most popular), plus "pop-tarts," quiche, biscuits, burritos and bowls.
Kitchen Mouse Cafe
Open daily from 8am to 4pm, Kitchen Mouse is a bustling Highland Park favorite serving up a gluten-free and dairy-free menu with vegan options.
Huevos Rancheros offers a choice of tofu scramble, potato tofu chorizo or eggs covered in housemade enchilada sauce, cashew cheese, cilantro cream, black beans, slaw, pepitas, and green onion with Kernel of Truth corn tortillas.
The Psychedelic Daalipop features red lentil daal topped with cucumber mint salad, mint chutney, tikka roasted mushrooms and cauliflower, served with coconut brown rice and garlic herb chapati.
A favorite from the OG Kitchen Mouse menu, Moros Cakes includes flavorful black bean and brown rice patties with tangy cilantro ginger chutney, a dash of chipotle cream, and serrano slaw.
The Kid's Menu includes a gluten- and nut-free Silver Dollar Pancake Special; and Grilled Cheese with Follow Your Heart provolone cheese on buttery millet toast.
Men & Beasts
Opened in the former Cosa Buona space in June 2025, Men & Beasts features plant-based Chinese cuisine and a tea lounge. Weekend brunch highlights include Five-Spice Bao Beignets with black sesame caramel dipping sauce; Souffle Pancakes with plant-based butter and maple syrup; and the "Binglish" Muffin, a cross-cultural mashup of Chinese bing sesame pancake and an English muffin. Sunday afternoons offer reservation-only gongfu cha ceremonies in the tea lounge.
Stuff I Eat
Superstar Chef Babette reps so much good in Inglewood! After serving healthy mostly organic soul food all week, on the weekends Stuff I Eat offers a Breakfast Plate loaded with grits (yellow polenta), cottage-fried potatoes, tempeh sausage, tofu scramble and Ezekiel toast. There's also a hearty breakfast burrito topped with carrot mango salsa - both items are guaranteed to fill your belly and your heart. Don't miss the rotating selection of desserts to sample every day.
SunCafe Organic
Voted one of the Best Vegetarian Restaurants in LA by OpenTable, SunCafe serves organic brunch favorites like Baked Lasagna and Mung Bean Dal Omelette. Come hungry for the filling Sausage Potato Skillet with Beyond Meat Sausage, rosemary potatoes, green & red bell pepper, onion, spinach and red tomato sauce. The Sun Florentine features an open-faced Dave's Killer Bread English Muffin or gluten-free ciabatta topped with tempeh bacon, spinach, tomatoes, Hollandaise sauce and chives. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the Belgian Waffle and cashew-based Mint Shamrock Shake. Outdoor seating makes this Studio City spot perfect for a weekend meet-up.
Un Solo Sol
Un Solo Sol recently went all-vegan and decided to focus on whole, unprocessed foods, making this beloved Boyle Heights eatery's pupusas, taquitos, homemade salsas, champurado, and pozoles even better. Explore the traditional Latin American menu with a few Mediterranean twists while absorbing work by local artists on the walls.
