5 Vegan Spots In Tulsa

Vegan in Tulsa: Best Plant-Based Restaurants You Need to Try
Explore the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Tulsa, from hearty sandwiches at Chimera Café to flavorful ramen at Roppongi Ramen. Discover plant-based eats that are anything but boring!

Vegan in Tulsa: A Guide to the Best Plant-Based Eats That Even Your Carnivore Friends Will Love

So, here’s the thing about being vegan (or at least trying to cut out meat on most days): People still think it’s all kale smoothies and rabbit food. And I’m here to tell you, my friend, that they couldn’t be more wrong—especially if you live in Tulsa, where plant-based eating is no longer the sidekick, but the main event.

Whether you're fully committed to the vegan life, dipping a toe into the vegetarian pool, or just trying to eat a little cleaner during the week (because weekends are for pizza, let’s be real), Tulsa has more to offer than you might think. Forget everything you know about boring salads and grain bowls; we’re talking flavor-packed, creative dishes that’ll make even your die-hard carnivore friends jealous.

Here’s a rundown of some of the best vegan and vegetarian spots in Tulsa, straight from your favorite local guide. Let’s dig in!

1. Chimera Café: Coffee and Tacos for the Win

Breakfast Tacos Vegan Style?

Yes please!

Chimera Café might just be my spirit animal. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a cup of ethically sourced coffee, sit back in a cozy spot, and let the world slow down for a minute. But don’t let the chill vibes fool you—this place brings the heat with its vegan and vegetarian options.

Their breakfast tacos? Legendary. You can get them loaded with scrambled tofu, veggies, and house-made salsa that has just the right amount of kick. And for my avocado-loving friends, their avo toast game is next level—simple, but seriously delicious.

Pro Tip: If you’re the type to love brunch any day of the week (and who isn’t?), their vegan pancakes are chef’s kiss.

2. The Vault: Nostalgia Meets Plant-Based Perfection

Retro Vegan Vibes?

Throwback style, but modern taste.

The Vault is the kind of spot that feels like stepping back in time—housed in an old mid-century modern bank building, it's got all the nostalgia feels. But when it comes to their food, they're serving up fresh, forward-thinking, and plant-based goodness.

Their menu isn’t strictly vegan, but don’t worry, they’ve got options. Their vegan Reuben? Game changer. With marinated tempeh, sauerkraut, vegan cheese, and thousand island dressing on rye, it’s the kind of sandwich that makes you forget it’s plant-based.

And yes, they do vegan desserts. Think coconut milk ice cream that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about dairy.

3. LTO (Lone Wolf): Fusion Flavors to Blow Your Mind

Banh Mi For Me!

If you’ve never tried Banh-mi…TRUST, you’ll be happy you gave LTO a go!

If you haven’t heard of Lone Wolf, I’m not sure what rock you’ve been living under, but it’s time to change that. This place is where Vietnamese flavors meet Southern soul, and yes, they’ve got plenty of options for the plant-based crowd.

Try their Banh Mi with tofu or Tofu Rice Bowl, and your taste buds will thank you. The pickled veggies, the perfect amount of crunch from the tofu, and that sauce... it’s pure magic. Plus, if you’re a spice lover, their Sriracha mayo (vegan-friendly, of course) is a must.

Pro Tip: You can’t go wrong with their Kimchi Fries (don’t ask, just order them). And yes, they can make them vegan!

4. Pure Food and Juice: For the Health Nut in All of Us

Hands down - BEST Buddha Bowls in town!

Colorful, delightful and FRESH!

There’s something about Pure Food and Juice that just makes you feel like you’re doing your body a favor. Maybe it’s the fact that everything on the menu is raw, organic, and plant-based, or maybe it’s the sleek, spa-like atmosphere. Either way, this is the place to be when you want to fuel up without the guilt.

Start with one of their fresh juices (the Beet Retreat is a personal fave), then dive into one of their colorful, nutrient-packed bowls or wraps. The Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap is spicy, crunchy, and satisfying—basically everything you want in a meal, without the heaviness.

Bonus points for their selection of raw vegan desserts, like the raw cacao brownie that tastes way too good to be healthy.

5. Roppongi Ramen: Slurping Good Vegan Noodles

Half Price Ramen!

Every Thursday from 5pm - Close!

I get it, when you think of ramen, your mind might go straight to pork broth and soft-boiled eggs, but at Roppongi Ramen, they’ve created something special for the plant-based crowd: vegan ramen that’s rich, savory, and totally satisfying.

Their vegan miso ramen is the star of the show, featuring a flavorful broth, springy noodles, and fresh veggies that make you feel like you’re eating something comforting without the post-meal food coma. Pair it with some veggie gyoza, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate comfort meal.

Pro Tip: This is a cozy little spot, so get there early if you want to avoid the lunch rush.

6. Que Gusto: Ecuadorian Eats with a Vegan Twist

Ask about the VEGAN choices!

Even your non-V friends will love this place!

Que Gusto might not be the first place you think of for vegan eats, but trust me, it should be. This charming Ecuadorian spot offers vegan versions of many of their dishes, and they do it so well.

Their vegan empanadas are crispy on the outside, filled with savory veggies, and paired with a spicy, tangy dipping sauce. You’ll also find plant-based soups, sandwiches, and even desserts on their menu, so whether you’re vegan or just curious, there’s plenty to try.

Pro Tip: Get the vegan ceviche if it's available—it’s one of those dishes that you’ll be dreaming about long after you’ve left.

7. Trenchers Delicatessen: Sandwiches, But Make It Vegan

Vegan Scramble

Need we say more…

Trenchers is a deli, yes, but it’s one that knows how to do plant-based. Their Vegan BLT is a must-try, made with smoky tempeh bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on hearty bread that’s perfect for soaking up all the goodness.

If you’re in the mood for something heartier, their Vegan Reuben also hits the spot. The fact that they can take a traditional sandwich and make it plant-based without sacrificing any of the flavor? That’s a win in my book.

Pro Tip: Pair your sandwich with their vegan potato salad. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Honorable Mention:

Insanely good pies!

So good even meat lovers will want a bite.

The Bottom Line: Tulsa’s Vegan Scene is Thriving

Gone are the days of settling for a side salad or fries when you’re eating plant-based in Tulsa. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, a fresh juice, or a comforting bowl of noodles, the vegan and vegetarian scene here has so much to offer.

So the next time someone gives you that “but what do you even eat?” look, just smile and start rattling off these spots. Because in Tulsa, eating vegan doesn’t mean missing out—it means leveling up.

Tulsa’s Best Kept Secret

Keystone Ancient Forest - Tulsa’s Best Kept Hiking Secret

It’s official: I’ve found my new favorite hiking spot, and it’s practically in my backyard. Today, we ventured out to Keystone Ancient Forest in Sand Springs, and let me tell you, this place is next level amazing. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or just looking for a beautiful way to spend a weekend outdoors, Keystone offers a little something for everyone.

Why Keystone Ancient Forest is Tulsa’s Best Kept Secret for Hikers

We’ve found our new favorite hiking spot, and it’s practically in our backyard. Today, we ventured out to Keystone Ancient Forest in Sand Springs, and let me tell you, this place is next level amazing. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or just looking for a beautiful way to spend a weekend outdoors, Keystone offers a little something for everyone.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hike in a forest that feels ancient (and by ancient, I mean trees that have been standing since before the Roman Empire), this is it. So grab your hiking boots—or heck, borrow one of their hiking sticks, that’s right…they loan out sticks for FREE! —and let me take you through why this hidden gem has completely won me over.

Keystone Ancient Forest: A Hiker’s Paradise Right in Tulsa’s Backyard

So here’s the thing: I’ve done my fair share of hiking, but few places compare to the experience I had at Keystone Ancient Forest. Located just a short drive from Tulsa, this forest isn’t just beautiful—it’s thoughtful. Every detail, from the ADA-accessible trails to the clearly marked paths, has been carefully designed to make sure everyone can enjoy what nature has to offer.

I mean, how often do you find a hiking spot with wheelchairs designed for trails, hiking sticks available to borrow, and even bug spray provided at the trailhead? And here’s the kicker: there are dog-friendly days, which—lucky us—just happened to be today! Our four-legged sweetie had the time of her life trotting alongside us on the trail. Not every place is this inclusive, and for that, Keystone gets major brownie points.

Friendly Staff and All the Comforts You Didn’t Know You Needed

Let’s talk about the volunteers. I wasn’t expecting to meet such friendly and knowledgeable people at a local trail, but the team at Keystone? They’re incredible. From offering tips on which trails to try based on your experience level to chatting about the local wildlife, or offering helpful suggestions for our family member with Dementia, they’re the type of people who genuinely love what they do. And it shows.

Now, let’s address a concern a discerning hiker such as myself is always looking at: the bathrooms. We’ve all been there—trekking through a beautiful forest only to come across a restroom situation that makes you want to turn back. Not here. The facilities at Keystone are new, clean, and dare I say, pleasant? I didn’t even think twice about using them, which is rare for a day in the wild. Trust me, you’ll appreciate it.

Oh, and did I mention the gift shop? It’s stocked with everything from super trendy t-shirts & stickers for your laptop or hydro (or I guess Stanley more appropriately these days) and 100% of the proceeds go directly back to supporting the trails. We couldn’t help but grab a few mementos to remember the day—and knowing our dollars were going to a good cause made it even sweeter.

The Trails: Marked to Perfection

Now, for the main event: the trails. You know how some hiking spots leave you second-guessing whether you’re still on the path or if you’ve accidentally wandered into uncharted territory? Not at Keystone. These trails are so clearly marked that it almost feels like they’re giving you a guided tour of the forest. No GPS necessary, just follow the signs and enjoy the journey.

The different trail options make it perfect for hikers of all levels. Whether you’re a newbie looking for a leisurely stroll or a seasoned pro ready to tackle something more challenging, there’s something for you. We stuck to a moderately challenging route today, and even with the occasional incline, it felt totally manageable.

And with 3 miles of trails, it’s a perfect place for spending a couple of hours immersed in nature without feeling overwhelmed. The changing seasons promise different experiences—so you bet I’ll be back to see what this place looks like when autumn hits.

Dog-Friendly Days? Say No More!

If you’re a dog lover like me, you know how tough it can be to find trails that welcome our furry friends. But at Keystone Ancient Forest, they get it. On select days, the trails are open to dogs, and our pup had the time of her life. There’s just something so special about seeing your dog romp around, tail wagging, that makes a day in the forest even better. While The Gathering Place has select days for dogs, Midland Valley and the riverfront trails allow dogs daily, making them perfect for everyday outings with your furry friends. But when it comes to the beautiful, ancient trees of Keystone and those special dog-inclusive days, it’s well worth checking the schedule and planning a trip!

Why Keystone Ancient Forest is More Than Just a Hike

Sure, Keystone Ancient Forest is a great place for a hike, but it’s more than that—it’s an experience. Whether you’re reconnecting with nature, taking your dog on an adventure, or just spending some quality time with friends and family, this place offers a chance to step away from the noise and breathe in some much-needed fresh air.

It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, stop to appreciate the ancient trees, and just be. And honestly, that’s what I loved the most about it. It’s not about rushing to the end of the trail—it’s about savoring the journey.

Our Takeaway: We’ll Be Back (A Lot)

There are plenty of beautiful hiking spots around Tulsa (shoutout to Turkey Mountain), but something about Keystone Ancient Forest feels extra special. It’s not just the pristine trails or the thoughtful amenities—it’s the way this place makes you feel connected to both nature and the community.

So yeah, we’ll definitely be back. We’re already planning to visit during different seasons to see how the forest changes. And if you haven’t been yet, trust me, you’ll want to add this place to your list.

You’ve probably heard it a million times, but I’m going to say it again: What we put into our bodies matters.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your wellness is to give yourself permission to completely unwind. One of the coolest ways to de-stress is a session at H2Oasis, where you float in a zero-gravity tank filled with Epsom salt. This sensory deprivation experience helps clear your mind, reduce tension, and alleviate stress. The feeling of total weightlessness is unlike anything else—you'll leave feeling like you’re floating on air, both mentally and physically.

Whether you’re craving a green smoothie after a workout or a hearty açaí bowl for lunch, Ediblend has options that taste as good as they are for you.
