As for breakfast, the vegan eggs benedict is incredibly unique and really popular and the breakfast burrito is not to be missed.

The vegan lamb with the chef's platter sampler (not on the menu) is a good option but if you're craving a realistic chicken substitute, the biryani with vegan chicken is excellent.

Green also offers unique salads (think ranchero salad with succulent slabs of BBQ chicken and ranch dressing) and noodle bowls. Don't forget a tsoynami for dessert, similar to a Dairy Queen Blizzard...absolutely fabulous! The winkies (a fresh take on Twinkies) are sometimes offered as well.

Green
2240 N Scottsdale Rd #8
Tempe
480-941-9003
Completely vegan, Green specializes in American-style comfort food using lots of organic ingredients. Has an artsy, laid back atmosphere. We highly recommend the spicy buffalo “wings” appetizer and the “argentine” sandwich ($8) with strips of seitan/mock steak and caramelized peppers and onions as well as the spicy "g" po-boy and the secret BBQ chicken sandwich. Green also offers unique salads (think ranchero salad with succulent slabs of BBQ chicken and ranch dressing) and noodle bowls. Don't forget a tsoynami for dessert, similar to a Dairy Queen Blizzard...absolutely fabulous! The winkies (a fresh take on Twinkies) are sometimes offered as well. (At the Phoenix location, swing next door to Nami for the sweets!) Green is a favorite with omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike!

Juba (formerly Blue Nile Cafe location)
933 E University Dr #112
Tempe
480-377-1113
Juba (at the formerly Blue Nile location) currently still serves the Blue Nile menu which has a veg section, but has moved the raw vegan offerings to Tsom next door. The new Juba menu is not vegan-friendly though. Injera, a large sourdough flatbread availalbe on the "Blue Nile" menu, is served with a choice of veg offerings including: lentils, chick peas, beans and vegetables in sauces such as berbere, ginger, curry or tomato. Our favorite is Kik Misir Watt (pureed lentils in a berbere sauce), one of the few spicier dishes. The $6.50 main dish with 2 sides is a great deal. For dessert, check out the vegan coffee cake, which is more like a cake than a coffee cake (strawberry or orange), but delicious nonetheless.
Lalibela Ethiopian Cafe
849 W University Dr
Tempe
480-829-1939
