Find your next vegan meal in Fort Lauderdale
Five current stops for beachside plant-based food, vegan breakfast, soul food and healthy bowls — with vegan status clearly separated from mixed menus.
Current business data matters here: PLANTA Queen Fort Lauderdale, Green Bar & Kitchen and Vegan Fine Foods now show permanent-closure evidence, so they are excluded even though some legacy web pages remain online.
Fort Lauderdale has strong plant-based breakfast and casual options near the beach and along Federal Highway. The safest approach is to prioritize the dedicated vegan cafes first and use the mixed-menu healthy restaurants when you want more flexibility.

PS Green Restaurant
Oakland Park Boulevard · Fort Lauderdale
A vegan-focused healthy restaurant with breakfast from 9am
PS Green describes its mission around vegan and healthy gastronomy, with juices, smoothies, burgers, burritos and breakfast dishes. Its current site emphasizes organic ingredients and vegan food, but wording across operator pages is broader than an explicit 100%-vegan guarantee.
How to order vegan:Choose dishes described as vegan and confirm any breakfast items or toppings that may be vegetarian rather than vegan. The main website and online ordering page currently disagree slightly on some closing times, so check day-of.
Highlights: 9:00 am opening, all-day breakfast, smoothies and healthy vegan-focused meals.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Vegan status | Vegan-focused restaurant; use dish-level confirmation rather than assuming every item is vegan. |
| Address | 2306 E Oakland Park Blvd Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306 |
| Published opening | Main operator site: 9:00 am daily. |
| Hours note | Operator pages currently conflict on some afternoon/evening closing times; verify same-day. |

How to order vegan:Build around plant-based bases and proteins such as portobello, falafel, grains and vegetable sides. Avoid dairy cheese, eggs, honey and animal proteins; ask about sauces such as pesto and aioli before ordering.

Vegan breakfast and brunch in Fort Lauderdale
Earliest dedicated vegan stop
Stephanie’s Vegan Bakery and Cafe opens at 8:00 am Monday through Saturday with breakfast wraps, bagel sandwiches, pastries and smoothies.
Healthy all-day breakfast
PS Green opens at 9:00 am and promotes breakfast, but confirm individual dishes as vegan because operator wording does not clearly guarantee that every menu item is plant-based.
SoBe Vegan starts at 10:00 am, and Myapapaya also opens at 10:00 am but is a mixed kitchen with eggs, dairy, honey and animal proteins.
Plan your Fort Lauderdale vegan food stops
Beach versus inland
SoBe Vegan is directly by the beach, while Stephanie’s, PS Green and Myapapaya sit farther inland or north along Federal Highway / Oakland Park Boulevard.
Watch current closures
PLANTA Queen, Green Bar & Kitchen and Vegan Fine Foods have current permanent-closure evidence despite older pages still appearing online.
Blue Tree currently shows a narrow weekly schedule, so verify same-day before routing specifically for soul food.
Frequently asked questions
Which Fort Lauderdale entries here are fully vegan?
SoBe Vegan and Stephanie’s explicitly present fully plant-based menus. Blue Tree is a vegan soul-food cafe. PS Green is treated conservatively as vegan-focused, and Myapapaya is mixed-menu with vegan options.
Where can I get the earliest vegan breakfast?
Stephanie’s opens at 8:00 am Monday through Saturday and is fully plant-based.
Is Myapapaya vegan?
No. It serves animal proteins, eggs, dairy and honey as well as plant-based dishes, so vegan orders require item-level choices.
Why is PLANTA Queen not included?
Current structured business data marks the Fort Lauderdale location permanently closed, so this guide does not rely on an older operator page that still displays hours.
Research notes and image credit
Current operator websites, live ordering pages and current business-status data were reviewed on September 19, 2026. When a stale operator page conflicts with current closure data, the restaurant is excluded rather than assumed open.
