Boca Raton for Vegans: A Day Planned Around the Table

Boca Raton is usually sold as a golf-and-beaches destination: manicured fairways, uncrowded sand, and the upscale maze of Town Center mall. What the brochures underplay is how easily a visitor can eat plant-based here, from an early breakfast to a late dinner, without once settling for a side salad.

We know the tables well. Our site, Vegan Cake Boca Raton, tracks the plant-based side of this stretch of Florida’s Gold Coast, and Boca is one of the easiest cities in the county to eat vegan in. Here is how we would plan a single day here, meal by meal.

Breakfast: Living Green Cafe

Start at Living Green Cafe on North Federal Highway (2202 N Federal Hwy). It opens at 7am, every day, and stays open until 9:30pm, which makes it the rare vegan-friendly kitchen that works for both sunrise jet-lag breakfasts and a late bowl after the beach. The menu leans plant-forward: smoothies, cold-pressed juices, grain bowls, and sandwiches. Order a smoothie and a bowl, take a seat by the window, and let the day start slowly.

Lunch: Greens and Grains

By midday, head downtown to Greens and Grains (179 SE Mizner Blvd, a few minutes’ walk from Mizner Park’s shops and fountains). This is a fully plant-based kitchen: grain bowls, salads, wraps, and signature sandwiches, plus cold-pressed juices and smoothies. It keeps baker’s hours of a sort — open Monday through Saturday, 10am to 7pm, closed Sunday — so treat it as your lunch and afternoon-errands stop, then walk off the bowl around Mizner Park.

The afternoon sweet stop: Cinnaholic

Every good itinerary has a detour, and in Boca that detour is dessert. Cinnaholic (141 NW 20th St, Suite B-1) is a 100% vegan dessert bar famous for create-your-own cinnamon rolls: pick the frosting, pick the toppings, and watch a simple roll turn into a personal event. The brownies and edible cookie dough are also fully plant-based. It opens around 11am daily, with later hours on weekends — worth checking their location page before you go.

Dinner: two tables, pick your mood

For a dinner that feels like the reason you traveled, book DVASH on Glades Road (8208 Glades Rd). It’s a fully vegan Israeli-Mediterranean restaurant from a chef family with two decades of South Florida history: warm hummus to start, seasonal plates after, and a proper wine-bar atmosphere. Order the hummus first and let the staff steer the rest.

If the group is mixed or you’re staying near the mall, True Food Kitchen at Town Center (6000 Glades Rd) is the chef-driven fallback, with clearly marked vegan options across a seasonal menu of bowls, burgers, and entrées, open until 9pm or later most nights.

Between meals: the markets

Visitors cooking for themselves, or just looking for Florida fruit to take home, should check our guide to Boca Raton’s farmers markets for plant-based ingredients — winter is strawberry season in this part of Florida, and the local markets are the best place to taste it.

And if you’d rather cook it yourself

The vegan scene here travels well. Our city guide to the best vegan restaurants in Boca Raton gets refreshed as venues open and close, and if the trip inspires you to bake at home, our dairy-free frosting and icing recipes are where most home bakers start.

Practical notes

• A car helps: the city stretches from Federal Highway to Glades Road, and the good tables are spread across it.
