Ordering vegan: a few tips
- Check the label. “100% vegan” means the whole menu is vegan. “Vegan options” means the business names specific vegan dishes, or says it can make them vegan.
- Ask about the small stuff if it matters to you, like honey in baked goods and sauces. We record what a business says, not every ingredient.
- Look at the menu first. Menus change with the season, so use the Menu button before you go.
Want every vegan listing in one place? Open the restaurant list and tap “Vegan options” or “100% vegan” at the top.
How we checked
For each business we read its own menu pages, PDFs or ordering page and recorded what it labels vegan. Local resources pointed us to places to check: Visit Bloomington (its dining guide marks vegan options), BloomingVeg, Spoon University, the Indiana Daily Student and HappyCow. Menus change, so look for the “Vegan options” and “100% vegan” filters on any food category in the directory. Logos and photos belong to their businesses and appear for identification. If something is out of date, use “Claim or update this listing” on its page. Out late? See late-night food near IU.
