Having allergies, I am always on the lookout for restaurants and bakeries that are allergy friendly. They don’t have to be totally vegan, they just have to have some good allergy friendly menu items, or even just have good service.
Here are some of my favorites!
5) Any restaurant that has an allergy menu
I know this isn’t any specific restaurant, but I wanted to start off by mentioning these places. It seems so simple, a list of allergens and what foods at that restaurant have them, but so many restaurants don’t have these menus. What I’ve found is that fast food and more casual restaurants tend to have an allergy menu. So this applies to chains like McDonald’s, Moe’s, and even places like Outback Steakhouse. Most likely if they are a bigger chain with a website, they have an allergy menu. It’s such a simple yet beautiful thing.
4) Clementine Bakery, Brooklyn NY
Clementine Bakery in Brooklyn New York is a great vegan bakery and they serve all sorts of desserts and sandwiches. They are not 100% allergy friendly because they do use soy and nuts in some of their food, but it’s a great place where you can be sure to find something you’ll love.
3) Disney Restaurants
The restaurants and food stands at Disney World and Disneyland are very accommodating. In my experience, If you let your server know that you have an allergy in your party, they are more than willing to accommodate you. Their service is very good and it leaves you confident that you are in good hands. Disney is also starting to add more vegan meals to their menus!
2) Dun-Well Doughnuts, Brooklyn NY
As someone with a milk and egg allergy, I had never had a real doughnut, until I went to Dun-Well Doughnuts. They are an all vegan doughnut shop, who serve great coffee too. They have tons of flavors and the doughnuts are beautiful. This bakery is warm and inviting and I had a great experience here!
1) Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC, Orlando, and LA
Coming in at number one is Erin McKenna’s Bakery. This is the first vegan bakery I ever went to and I’ve been back multiple times. I still remember walking in that first time and thinking, “Wow, I can have everything in this store, there is nothing I’m allergic to in here!” It was a great experience. The NYC location is small but very cute. I have also been to the Orlando location, which is a lot bigger, but has the same great treats! For anyone with allergies this bakery is a must.
