Hi fam, we heard you! It’s summer and the best thing after you’re done tanning is to get a cool refresher and a quick bite. Buuuut, if you’re vegan, it’s not always as simple, *sigh*. But dw, we gotchu! Here’s 4 of our fav trendy vegan-friendly cafes for brunch, drinks and *gasp* VEGAN dessert!

1. 1762 Stripped

Where: Jumeirah Lakes Towers

Aesthetically pleasing? Think woody, leafy and the cutest old-fashioned couches – so pretty much our cosy reading nook kinda vibe. So. Cute. This sweet lil’ café in JLT has some of the best Thai vegan curry, falafel rolls, and ofc, an insane jalapeño burger (PSA – you can get it without the cheese!) for our spice buds. Yumm…

2. Krave

Where: DIFC

Len-til the end! This sunny café has one of THE best soup options – and they’re all vegan! And for those of us that love us some good ol’ Mexican, they’ve got vegetarian burrito bowls, tacos AND  vegan chili bowl. Vamanos, senoritas!

3. Wild&The Moon

Where: Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz

Okay, hold my bag while I run to this 100% vegan café for their delish cold-pressed juices. Favs include ‘Better than Botox’ and ‘Simply Green’. Ugh, amazing. AND they have vegan dessert. Chia pudding, chocolate truffles and banana cake. That’s right – ALL vegan.

4. Soulfull 

Where: DIFC

This green-themed café is every vegan foodie’s dream. With choices to build your own protein power bowl and acai granola, it’s the ideal for our #beachbodygoals this summer. It’s vegan chickpea wrap and delicious fajitas are literally on our favs list for a daily healthy bite.
