What's Vegan at Zoe's Kitchen?

Plant-based and vegan customers can expect to find simple, healthy options at every Zoe's Kitchen location nationwide. The fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant is devoted to providing healthy, fresh meals to its customers, emphasizing the importance of creating craveable and nutritious meals that do not go wildly over budget.

Zoe's Kitchen's dynamic menu allows the customer to modify most vegetarian options to be served completely vegan. But plant-based diners do not even need to worry much about modifications, because the menu features several signature vegan meals and sides for guests to order. You can grab a falafel plate or a Falafel, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich. Don't be afraid to pack the delectable sides onto your order including Braised White Beans and Turmeric Rice.

Currently, Zoe's Kitchen operates approximately 50 locations across 14 states, a number that dropped when Zoe's Kitchen was acquired by the Cava Group –– the company responsible for the sister fast-casual chain, Cava. Now, Zoe's Kitchen's vegan-friendly menu is joined by a greater collection of vegan-friendly fast-casual chains.
