50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Sandston

“This place was easily the best Italian food I’ve had since my grandfather closed his business 10 years ago. The service was wonderful and the delivery robot was a fun and interesting addition. The quality of the ingredients was of the highest caliber. As we were eating we could hear the very Italian accents of the kitchen staff and I instantly knew the owner was there watching over his business. Additionally I can tell you the sauce was made from scratch in house not from some can or bag like most places. We took a piece of cheesecake home and I seriously started giggling as I took the first bite. The only complaint I could even think of is that the place is 25 miles from my house but I will be going back to sample more of their very authentic very impressive offerings. If you are the owner of this establishment and you are reading this you should be very proud of yourself and the work that you do!!!“

“Found this via the internet on our overnight stay in Richmond on the way home to NJ. Antonio the bartender and Kiera our server were awesome! Food was great, full service bar (a great Old Fashion) and what might be the best fresh made rolls we ever had. If ever in Richmond, near the airport, it's a must stop. Well done Roma, I hope to be back again!“

“This has always been one of my favorite restaurants in the Richmond/Henrico area. The food has always been good. I moved from there in 2016. Came back to visit last week. I wasn't sure if things had changed since the pandemic, but it was just as good as before!“

“Normally I don't write reviews for restaurants, but this place just went above and beyond my expectations. It was my first time visiting your establishment and my first impression was the waitress Tabbi Englehart greeting me at the table, she had a smile and was very helpful and offered suggestions we should try. Service and timing were absolute perfect. Food was amazing as well. Pretty much they treat you like kings and queens. 100% would return. I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could.“

“We had an excellent dinner at Blue Atlas! I made our dinner reservations to celebrate a friend's birthday, which was graciously acknowledged by dessert and a glass of champagne on the house. Besides the birthday accommodations, the dinner was delicious! Very flavorful, and came out in a timely manner. We got to sit on the patio, which I highly recommend! So beautiful and peaceful to dine surrounded by wildflowers. Finally, our waiter, Boss, was extremely kind and helpful. I would highly recommend Blue Atlas, whether you live in Richmond or are just traveling through!“

“Wonderful, dense, New England style ice cream. I’ve yet to try a flavor that was not absolutely wonderful. Inventive flavors. You can’t go wrong with anything these guys put out. Also very friendly staff!“

“This is truly one of the better restaurants in Richmond! The ambiance was lovely, funky, quirky. The music was just loud enough. I cannot say enough good about the service and food. From the hostess to the serving staff our interactions were stellar. They were attentive without being intrusive. They anticipated every need and addressed every concern professionally and promptly. The food was outstanding. I got the swellington, my husband the rabbit. Both surprised and delighted us! Not only that, but they brought us two complimentary glasses of champagne in honor of our anniversary! All in all a truly outstanding experience. We highly recommend L'Opposum!“

“I came here for a work event and we were directed to the event space. I got the short rib and a couple others got the salmon. Both were wonderful.Drinks were a little slow but heavily poured and made for a lively evening.The night was made by the service given by Rylee. She took the time to connect with everybody and made us all feel welcome while giving wonderful service. Her patience and expertise made the night a wonderful experience!“

“My cousin had her bridal shower at Henley on 4/11. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious. William snd his staff were phenomenal! This is my new spot to come and relax enjoy the great food and drink. Thank you again for allowing us to have her bridal shower there.“

“We google searched "restaurants near me" while we were in Richmond. The results displayed a long list of restaurants and after reviewing several we found Elegant Cuizines and I knew this was the perfect spot. We made a reservation for 8:30pm But we were running late so we call the restaurant and they assured it wouldn't be an issue. When we arrived we were greeted by Charles and seated by the waitress. The menu host a variety of foods that is dairy, free and gluten-free food. The food was beautifully plated and was to die for. Chef Theresa is making art in plate form. The ambiance was amazand the service was incredible. Elegant Cuizines can get my money any day. Charles and Theresa, thank you for making our night special, and we will be back soon“

“Really great ice cream shop. Unique flavors, perfect texture, great owner! Highly recommend!“

“This is an amazing place to eat“

“First let me say that I lived in Europe for two years and have had quite a few amazing croissants...but nothing like this place. The chocolate almond croissant from Sub Rosa is the best one I've ever had..period. Also, the ham and cheese croissant and the tart was incredible. We heard about how fast they sell out so we ordered a few days ahead of our trip. I'd recommend doing the same if you want to guarantee you'll get what you want. Seriously, if you find yourself down here, plan to make a stop, you will not be disappointed.“

“I recently organized a couple of catering orders from The Smoky Mug, and it was an exceptional experience, largely thanks to Dan’s superb accommodations and friendliness. The catering itself exceeded expectations. I highly recommend The Smoky Mug for their top notch BBQ, and kudos to Dan for making our events a resounding success!“

“I love this place! The food is terrific and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. I've had the classic samosa, golden milk chai and desi lo mein. Each was out of this world! The owner strives to make his guests feel at home and encourages you to mingle and make new friends. I encourage you to try Gold Lion for the food, drink and friendly vibe!“

“This is the perfect, quaint cocktail bar. I was able to explain what I like in a drink to the bartender and he made me a delicious cocktail catered to what I love. The meat and cheese plate was ad unique as it was yummy. And special thank you to this establishment for free tampons in the bathroom! It’s the little things.“

“Hubby & I were looking for a quick breakfast spot and after reading such great reviews gave Urban Hang Suite a try. It does have a funky, upbeat vibe going on and the staff is quite friendly. We walked in and there was only a large family sitting in the back. Within 5 minutes, as we were about to place our order, there was a line of about 10 people behind us!! I see why. I ordered the avocado toast with a scrambled egg on sourdough toast and a regular coffee. The bread was fresh and the eggs were perfectly scrambled , not too hard and not too soft and everything was seasoned well. The mashed avocado had minced red onion and scallions. I was full but not stuffed. Thanks again fellow yelpers. You did it again“

“I had Philly Vegan for the first time today and OMG..absolutely delicious! My sister traveled here from Florida just to try it and she recommended it to me. I am not even vegan, and the cheesesteak I had today was better than some beef ones I’ve had. Worth every cent, and I will definitely be back!“

“An absolutely delightful coffee shop. From delicious array of breakfast items like biscuits, bagels, and wraps to their wonderfully creative lunch options, easily makes it one of the best places in Northside. Oh, and the coffee? Fantastic blend and variety. Let's not forget the employees! They are the nicest and coolest bunch of folks you would ever hope to see working in a coffee shop. A+ joint with a groovy atmosphere and makes you want to settle in for a while and enjoy your cuppa.“

“I’ve been blessed to enjoy these amazing goodies a few times now and just when I think it couldn’t get better, it does. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing people!“

“Great savory and sweet pies and terrific people!“

“We arrived on a busy Saturday morning. We were greeted and asked to be placed on a wait to actually order food for ten minutes and we were told to grab a seat. During that time a e were able to look at the menu and decide what we wanted. We went with a classic - chicken strips, egg and country gravy. And OH MY! It was sooo good. Choose to get the full waffle and you will not be disappointed!“

“This place checked almost all my boxes for brunch spots;a variety of Benny's, specialty cocktails especially ones with flowers, moonshine, and sparkling, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy; stuffed French toast, and avocado toast. Ambiance was great; the building is an old school movie theatre. Both the food and service we're amazing; Jessica was handling her business!“

“We had the EXTREME pleasure of hosting the rehearsal dinner for our son's (and now daughter-in-law) wedding at JewFro on 1/12. The entire experience - the quality of the food, the table and bar service, and overall energy of the event far exceeded any expectations we had!! Thank you for making this event an evening that the bride and groom and our guests will not soon forget!!! Fantastic!“

“My waitress/bartender was exceptionally kind and caring. She checked on me every time she would walk by. Not once did she walk pass without acknowledging my presence or asking if I was ok or needed anything. The male greeter was also extremely kind and caring and even came to back near the bar to inquire about any needs i may have l, even engaged in some meaningful small talk. Another male waiter was very pleasant and answered questions that i had regarding the drink menu. Over all a great experience, great food and awesome hospitality. I highly recommend this establishment to others and will be returning. I came in stressed and left feeling seen, cared for and quite full ?“

“We had a delightful experience all around. The dim lighting, candle light, live piano music, and perfect sound level made for a great ambiance. The food was also very good. We started with the baked Brie, then got the salmon (was a special) and the beef bourguignon. All of it was delicious and came in perfectly portioned sizes. The service was fantastic too. The server was helpful and super attentive. They recommended a beautiful wine to go with our meal, and our water glasses were filled throughout the night without having to ask even once. We will certainly be back! I recommend making a reservation as it filled up pretty quickly.“

“This is my third visit. I've enjoyed the food before and expect today to be no different. I ordered a lamb gyro and spanokopita. Love some spinach and feta. The staff are attentive even at the height of the lunch rush. The place is clean and inviting. My food came so I had to pause writing this review. The gyro was huge. No disappointments.“

“Had my husband's birthday here tonight. Very nice and accommodating staff. Service was excellent and the food was wonderful. We have a couple of vegans in the family who were able to have delicious meals which is rare, and we never take for granted!! Highly recommend.“

“First of all everything was spectacular. Everything thing we ate was packed with flavor and we didn’t feel guilty after eating. Fresh food done well, and the mission behind owner Michelle’s why took us over the top. You have to support this business in the heart of Church Hill.“

“Stopped in after the Irish Festival. Got a mango smoothie with boba, and my husband got a mocha smoothie with boba. It was so good as always. I have been going here for years and wish I lived closer. My husband and I both agree that the sound of the straw pulling in the last drops of our smoothie is the saddest sound ever. It means it's all gone. ?Parking: Park on the street for free or park in Kroger across the street and walk over.“

“What an awesome venue. I took my son to see The Chats and had a great time. It was easy to get to and park. The staff cared about the young fans and made sure my son was taken care of. There was also plenty of room even though it was sold out. We stayed on the outside and he stood on a bench to see the while show. I wouldn't hesitate to bring him back.“

“Great spot and can't believe we haven't been here before. Service was old school- polite and attentive. Food was authentic Italian, red sauce, pasta, bread, salads- you name it. Also the bar has a ton of beers and ciders on tap that you can run your card and help yourself. Convenient location too with ton of parking!“

“Great pizza!! Knowledgeable and friendly staff.“

“Super close local coffee shop to VCU. Service was amazing, the decor and theme is on point. They serve a delicious chai, and I got a hot chai because it was raining. It's authentic, spicy, and flavorful. There's some couches and a lot of tables/chairs for studying or lounging. I wish they had a cup sleeve lol.“

“The food first and foremost was outstanding. Delicious ! Crab hush puppies were amazing. The staff were amazing. The ambiance was perfect. I will definitely recommend and will be going back.“

“We ordered too much food but it was fun to try a few things. Nachos with steak, ham and cheese croissant with onion rings, fries covered in cheese and a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. Nachos were great, if you don’t like a lot of sour cream get it on the side. Ham and cheese was full of flavor and loaded with cheese (wish I asked for mayo on it), onion rings - delicious especially dipped in their ranch. The loaded fries were great, especially like that they toasted the cheese on top of the fries (it’s a big plate). Lastly the milkshake; big thick milkshake - well worth it.The menu is huge and we’ll definitely go back for other items.“

“I enjoyed a Make Your Own breakfast burrito and iced coffee.“

“We came on a Saturday night for dinner. It was a bit unclear if you were to seat yourself or not, and the service was a bit slow due to how busy the bar was since a live band was starting soon. However, our experience overall was excellent.The biscuit is probably the best biscuit I've had at a restaurant, ever. Absolutely recommend. We tried three flavors of wings and all thought the gochujang was the most outstanding. The pinto beans, pickles, slaw, and chicken quesadilla were all flavorful and solid. We loved everything we tried.“

“They don’t have a prominent sign, so it was little hard to find, but worth it. They have a multitude of hot dogs to choose from, along with bratwurst and other choices. Their Chicago Dog was very authentic and very good. They have a full bar and I was surprised at how many people were there on a Wednesday night. They also have a relatively large outdoor seating area. Street parking is somewhat limited. They were holding a trivia contest and everyone was having a good time.“

“A comfortable cafe with a diverse menu that is not too adventurous but consistently satisfying. Vegetarian alternatives are easy to find. There is a old fashioned throwback section of the menu called blue plates. The cafe is not large but there are some sidewalk table tops where you can dine. Service is very prompt and friendly. Kudos for running after me when I left my credit card at the table!“

“Native Plate is SO good. Everything was literally so amazing - the waitstaff were incredibly kind and helpful navigating our food allergies, the bar tender made me a delicious mocktail mojito, and our food was so so fresh. They are in fact a scratch kitchen, and everything tasted like it was grown out back and picked just for our meals! We can't wait to bring family and friends here! My one teensy complaint is that it gets a little smoky when they cook, as there doesn't seem to be much ventilation, but that would not stop me from coming back. The decor is cute and the ambiance is also so peaceful :)“

“What a hidden gem! I live so close to this place and never realized it was here, but I have been really missing out. The food and drinks were so delicious and the prices are not bad considering the quality and uniqueness of the items. Our server was amazing, he was so cool and checked on us frequently even though it was a busy Saturday morning. I also love that you can make reservations - pretty rare for a diner-type restaurant, so that was a big win. Cannot wait to eat here again and try something new.“

“Excellent coffee and pastries! Stop by and enjoy the great atmoshere.“

“This has to be the most stellar Olive garden that I have ever eaten at. The service was great. Order the soup and salad and the salad was made to perfection. For once there wasn't any brown in it and it had an appropriate amount of dressing on it. Also, they filled up my soup bowl with actual soup for once. Usually, at most Olive Gardens, I seem to get a half a bowl of just broth with none of the goodies in it. Had those delicious donuts for dessert. Even the manager came around and checked on us. What a wonderful experience.“

“It was a beautiful night for the best sandwich of my entire life!! Roast Beef & Cheddar Bistro 100% recommended ❤️ The guys working there are fantastic big WoW to them.“

“The food here is simply incredible! 11/10My only note is the levels of spiciness have varied, erring on the side of being not quite as spicy as we'd like, but this is understandable as it's pretty subjective and many might find it too spicy. This is specifically for hot/very hot spice level, so stick to your guns and ask for Thai spicy if you're looking for real spice!“

“Omg I'm from Miami and was craving some good cuban food and place did not fail at all omg its amazingly good. The food is sooooo delicious and not to mention the service incredible. Surprise to find this here in Virginia ❤️??????“

“Upon arriving, it’s a small corner building that serves great food. I’m guessing they help out the community from what they say on the sign I got a tray I forget the name of the tray, but it definitely filled me up. It came with a little appetizer entrée, and a dessert Definitely will come back to support the “

“Our go-to for desserts, and they just happen to be vegan! Flavorful, beautifully prepared, unique items you can't find elsewhere. The savory options are amazing too, they are magicians with seitan. Don't miss their seasonal offerings for holidays! Most recently we had a delicious box of items for high tea from their Mothers' Day menu and everything was perfect and fresh. We are really lucky to have Sunflower Gardenz in our city, a hidden gem for sure“

“Always delicious.“
