Find your next vegan meal in Santa Fe
Five current stops for a 100% plant-based cafe, vegan breakfast, downtown wraps and Southwestern dishes — with mixed kitchens labeled clearly.
Santa Fe has many vegan-friendly restaurants but relatively few fully vegan storefronts. Plant Base Cafe and Plantita Vegan Bakery are excluded because current sources mark them permanently closed.
BODY Cafe is the dedicated plant-based anchor. Sweetwater and The Teahouse cover breakfast and lunch, while The Wrap and Cowgirl provide useful downtown and Southwestern vegan options inside mixed kitchens.
