My MUST-TRY Vegan Spots in Omaha, Nebraska
I’ve been in Europe for about two months now, and while I love the life and the food here, and haven’t been too homesick, the one thing that I do miss is some good vegan food in restaurants. France, in general, has healthier options at restaurants- especially for vegans- which has me missing some of my favorite options back home. As a vegan college student in Omaha, I’ve compiled a good list of places with AMAZING vegan options in central Omaha that are pretty healthy as well.
These are my favorite places personally, but be sure to check out veganomaha.com for a list of comprehensive vegan options in Omaha!
Breakfast/ Coffee:
Amateur Coffee: Completely vegan coffee shop that uses oat milk and is life changing! Seriously so delicious and there’s tons of breakfast options as well including vegan waffles, vegan (and gluten free) pastries, and chia seed pudding! The owners and staff are also so nice, I go in seriously at least once a week when I’m back home.
Location: 3913 Cuming St, Omaha, NE 68131
A delicious breakfast spread from Amateur Coffee- it never disappoints!
Saddle Creek Breakfast Club: An amazing breakfast place with A WHOLE VEGAN MENU!!! The vegan biscuits and gravy are to die for, but they also have tons of other options such as vegan banana bread pancakes (also amazing), and more! Their hash browns are also completely vegan and make the perfect addition to any meal!
