Trap Vegan · Green Acres
Trap Vegan turns plant-based patties, loaded fries, and familiar fast-casual forms into filling meals on Livernois. Burgers carry bold sauces and toppings, while sides and shakes complete the comfort-food approach. The restaurant's energetic branding matches food designed to satisfy diners who want vegan cooking without restraint or a wellness-focused frame.
Street Beet · Corktown
Street Beet translates nostalgic fast food and comfort dishes into fully vegan form at its permanent Corktown home. Crisp sandwiches, loaded sides, sauces, and rotating specials embrace indulgence rather than imitation as an end in itself. The playful menu and casual room carry forward the pop-up energy that first built the restaurant's following.
Unburger · Dearborn
Unburger Grill is a fully plant-based Dearborn restaurant centered on burgers, sandwiches, bowls, and familiar sides. The menu uses varied patties and toppings to create distinct combinations rather than a single substitute repeated several ways. Counter service and generous portions make it accessible for both committed vegan diners and curious groups.
Cacao Tree Café · Royal Oak
Cacao Tree Cafe explores plant-based food through raw preparations, fresh juices, salads, wraps, soups, and desserts in Royal Oak. Nuts, seeds, vegetables, and cacao become carefully textured dishes without relying on conventional meat substitutes. The bright cafe setting suits a light lunch while still offering enough variety for a complete meal.
Freya · Milwaukee Junction
Freya can shape its multi-course tasting experience around a fully vegan menu, giving plant-based diners the same paced service and creative attention as other guests. Seasonal ingredients move through composed courses with thoughtful textures, sauces, and pairings. The Milwaukee Junction dining room makes vegan accommodation part of a polished experience rather than a side menu.
