Oakland Vegan Trail

There is quite the movement happening in Oakland, and this one is totally plant-based! The Oakland Vegan Trail highlights the vibrant vegan food scene in Oakland is like nowhere else, and it continues to rapidly expand and evolve. It's exciting to see pop-ups and caterers and food trucks open their first brick-and-mortar locations, and we're not just talking about salads and seitan! Oakland is all about diversity, with many Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), women, and LGBTQ owned businesses. You'll find vegan Creole dishes with housemade Louisiana links, and taquerias with their own “carnitas,” ramen and noodles, vegan cherry cheesecakes, and superlative matcha donuts. So many creators are making their own plant-based burger patties and innovating new proteins, and you'll feel a personal connection with many of the makers - you can really see and taste their pride in feeding their customers well. With 20+ vegan restaurants and Oakland-Made products to experience – there is something for everyone to enjoy!
