5 Must-Visit Vegan Restaurants in the Atlanta Area
1. Slutty Vegan *black owned*ĀThis is one of the most known restaurants on my list. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard the very much deserved buzz around this vegan burger palace. Slutty Vegan’s primary location is in Atlanta on Ralph David Abernathy Blvd Southwest in addition to its other locations in Georgia. Every option will make your tastebuds do a little dance. They have burger options featuring vegan cheese, shrimp, bacon, and the creamy special sauce. They also have a vegan sausage as a gluten-free option as well as chicken sandwiches. This is definitely a must-visit when you are in the Atlanta area. Black owner Pinky Cole opened up the restaurant in her apartment in 2018, and from that point on, its growth and impact have grown exponentially.
2. Mango Tree Raw Juice and SmoothiesĀ *black owned*
Having worked at this establishment, I know first hand that Mango Tree Raw Juice and Smoothies has the BEST and FRESHEST smoothies and acai bowls in Kennesaw. Everything is made to order and with love. Most of the options on the menu are organic as well. The menu options will have you thinking about which smoothie you want to try as if it were a life decision, but there is no need to worry. Everything is delicious! The menu describes what’s in every option, so you can choose your perfect combination. You also have the option to make your own smoothie or customize your acai bowl. This cafe is located on Legacy Park Boulevard. It’s owners, husband and wife, John and Kandyce Richmond, have created an excellent space for good vibes and healthy plant-based dining.Ā
3.CinnaholicĀ
I was able to try Cinnaholic this past Labor Day, and I was far from disappointed. Everything. Is. Vegan. You can have a vegan cinnamon roll covered in vegan cream cheese, vegan cookie dough, vegan brownies, vegan cookies, and SO much more. If you choose to visit any of these places mentioned, this should definitely be at the top of the list. Cinnaholic is located in Edgewood.Ā
4.Plant Based Pizzeria *black owned*
I was lucky enough to be awarded the experience of going to Plan Based Pizzeria for my birthday, and it did not disappoint. There were so many options to choose from. They serve pizza as well as chili cheese fries and sandwiches. I tried the Hawaiian pizza, and my best friend tried the pepperoni. We were pleasantly surprised. Plant Based Pizzeria would put any normal pizza chain to shame. This restaurant is located in Atlanta on Barrett Street Northeast.
5.VeGreen Burger
VeGreen Burger is a newer restaurant that resides in the Town Center Mall of Kennesaw. Everything is vegan. There are SO many different options range from a variety of burgers and chicken skewers to fried wontons and decadent baked goods. This restaurant is definitely a must-visit, the possibilities are virtually endless.Ā
Every restaurant aforementioned is supporting the cause of having delicious, cruelty free, vegan eats that are accessible to all. Even in a pandemic they have continued great service to their customers safely and conveniently. Even if you are not vegan, these restaurants are sure to become one of your favorites!

Eating Out While Vegan
Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen of St. Simons, Georgia
This past weekend, my friends and I took a trip to St. Simons Island (fear not, masks were worn and social distance occurred) and we had SO much fun! In addition to having great experiences in the ocean, performing the WAP dance challenge in front of a majority white population at the beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and having fun in our air bnb, we also got the chance to try an amazing Plant Based restaurant called Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen. Before I get into details, I will go ahead and tell you all that it was an absolutely amazing experience and the food was absolutely delicious. It also has healthy, vegan, non vegan and gluten free options so it’s a great place that you and all of your friends can enjoy, vegan or not!
Vibe Check
Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen PH. 912 268 4137
130 Retreat Plz, St Simons, GA 31522, USA.
Being less than ten minutes from the beach, the location is great for tourists and easily accessible after a long day of enjoying the beach. My friends and I dined in the restaurant. It was super clean and decorated with – my favorite – hanging planters, sea salt candles, green vases and wall decor. Many smaller restaurants, fortunately, have less chaos within the store. Therefore, it’s more likely that more attention is able to be paid to the customer. I definitely experienced that at Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen. The workers were so pleasant to speak with, kept asking if we needed anything, and were so patient while dealing with our tourist antics. They definitely surpassed the vibe check.

Going out to eat while vegan can be a little difficult depending on the location. For example, those in Los Angeles are surrounded by health food enthusiasts and vegan fast food, but, in contrast, those in the deep south have less options. Where Iām from (Augusta, Georgia), there are a total of two restaurants I can go to and have a surplus of options for healthy vegan food that does not involve a salad or plain pasta. I really commend Sea Salt’s healthy kitchen because they have made health their mission. They serve a variety of healthy vegan and nonvegan food and make sure that, on their menu, it is clear that they acknowledge the different allergens and diets that people look out for when choosing their meals from a menu. They have symbols by each food item that help identify whether the item is vegan, vegetarian, non-dairy, and/or gluten free. This makes eating out while vegan so much easier. I didnāt even have to do any outside research before eating at Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen because they already had all the information I needed on the menu.
Was It Hitting Though?
“Hitting”
defined as: something that consummately hits the spot
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hittingYes. It was definitely hitting.
The restaurant had many vegan options ranging from smoothie bowls and hummus appetizers to vegan wraps and vegan chorizo. I definitely had a lot to choose from. I ended up ordering the very vegan wrap with vegan chorizo instead of tofu. It was a warmed wrap with squash, mixed greens, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper hummus and vegan chorizo. Everything on the wrap was SO fresh and flavorful. It was nothing short of delicious! My friends also enjoyed and devoured their meals! I also ordered their vegan cookies which were also gluten free. As I took a bite, my friends asked for a piece to taste. We all collectively opened our eyes wider as we tasted them. The cookies were possibly the best cookies I have had in my entire life. They were so moist and soft and the chocolate chips were so decadent and rich. The whole table ended up ordering cookies for their own enjoyment.
Overall Rating
Sea Salt healthy kitchen gets ten out of ten stars from me. The environment, service, and taste were all outstanding! There is no reason why you shouldnāt try this restaurant if you’re ever in St. Simons. You definitely will not regret it.
