Vegetation Cafe & Kitchen - Vegan Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

This 100% plant based restaurant in Lakeland offers fresh, minimally processed meals, grab and go items, coffee and baked goods. The cute cafe atmosphere with tables and a sofa area with games makes it very inviting. I had the Vegan Gyro $15, large Lemonade $4 and three Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies $4. Everything was fresh and delicious. The counter service staff was very nice. read more

My wife and I went here for the first time today. Overall, we were happy with our visit, but there were some tings that were not good. When we entered the Cafe, the staff was nowhere to be seen. We could hear them talking in the back, but nobody came out to greet us. After 3 minutes ir so, I went to look through the serving hatch to attract their attention, they realized we were there and said they would be right there. My wife and I took a couple of menus and selected a table to sit at. Worth noting here that we were the only customers. Finally, a member of staff came in to the dining area, still talking to a friend who had also come from the kitchen area and continued their conversation at the counter. We had decided waht we wanted to eat, but were still being 'ignored'. My wife told the girl that we were ready to order, at which point she told us we could order at the counter. My wife went and placed our order, including a Cafe latte and two waters. She was told she could get a bottle of water from the refridgerator and was given two steel cups. So, Service was not brilliant! My wife's food arrived, an Alfredo pasta with brocolli, spinach and mushrooms which was very, very good. After about five minutes, four of which the food had sat in the kitchen service window while our 'server' finished another conversation with another friend/customer, my food was brought to the table. I had selected the Sloppy Totty, which was a Sloppy Joe style sandwich with a side of Tator Tots served with vegan cheese sauce. The cheese sauce on the tator tots had already cooled enough that it had formed a skin on the top. The tator tots were cold but, digging down, the tots underneath were warm, but now soggy, and frankly, undercooked. The Sloppy Joe sandwich was very good, which slightly made-up for the remainder of the dish. So, the food was a little hit and miss, probably influenced by the poor service. As for the cafe itself, it was very nice, with plenty of chairs and tables. I did notice that at least one of the cloth covered chairs at our table, needed to be cleaned due to having several large stains on it. Others have had a completely different experience of the Service, this was our experience, and these things do impact whether people choose to go back. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for so long but was never in the area long enough to stop until one day I passed by and got some lunch. It was beautifully cozy when I walked in and very inviting especially with the kind hostess's warm greeting. I wish I could remember her name although it resembled the name of a flower. she gave me some suggestions and answered my questions of flavors and items since it was my first time. I decided on gettjng the sushi bowl because they were out of focaccia at the time so my first choice will have to be revisited at another time. The sushi bowl as created beautifully and quickly I might add. It had a lot of different textures and flavors from the fresh vegetables and the dressing drizzle was so yummy I couldn't get enough of it. As a vegan I love finding small gems to call my hidden places of peace, space and yummy options. I can't wait to return wjth my kids so they can enjoy the menu as well. Definitely a must try. read more

This vegan restaurant is by far one of the best vegan restaurants I have ever been to! Definitely #1 in Lakeland. A must try when in the area. The pasta, bowl, & Korean tacos were absolutely delicious. Iced coffee was also a delight! Will definitely be back very soon! Closed Monday's & Tuesday's. read more

I stopped by vegetation for a quick to-go bite while in Lakeland for the day. I got the BBQ tempeh, mac and cheese, and black sesame latte. I ordered pickup online, and it was available for me as soon as I walked in (actually slightly earlier than the assumed time - and it was right at lunch that I ordered). I will say that the latte was incredible - easily one of the best lattes that I've had in a very long time! The BBQ tempeh sandwich was good, and the Mac and cheese was all right. It tasted like vegan Mac and cheese, and that only goes so far. However, I really enjoyed my BBQ tempeh sandwich, and it was massive. I had enough, easily, for two meals. I'd definitely recommend checking out this spot! read more

Great little vegan gem in Lakeland. Our group of six traveled all the way here to check it out. We all were very pleased. read more

Great atmosphere, staff was super friendly and helpful. The black bean burger had good flavor the vegan mac and cheese was ok not my favorite but a good take on vegan mac. My wife had the grab and go beet and she loved it. The Mezze bowl was fantastic full of flavor even though the kofte patties had to be swapped with a burger patty instead. If your looking for an alternative vegan restaurant look no further you won't be disappointed. Great prices, parking could be limited if busy. Cash or card I'd accepted. read more

I took my parents here for my dad's birthday and they absolutely loved it. My dad is trying out a vegan diet but was told by so many that vegan food is boring. The food here blew us away!!! We ordered the jerk tacos, quesadilla, and the toasty bowl and they were all fantastic!!! so flavorful and the service was amazing. Special shoutout to Quinn for making our experience so magical. Thank you so much, I'm so glad I picked this place to celebrate my dad's birthday. read more

This loco is about 35 mins drive from us and it's worth double the time to drive to it. Delicious is norm, the vegan dishes are so scrumptious, so tasty that I have already decided to make this my regular. We had the Korean tacos. It not only looked delicious it was just heavenly. The "beef" gave us a fright as we thought we were actually beefing it up. The breakfast burrito was enough to fill 1.5 hungry tummy. Even the chai latte was so tasty we ordered another to share. Highly recommended and worth the drive. Wish they had an extra or two of entrees however it seems they change them every week. Relaxing jazzy place with eclectic decor. Super chill to do work in or have a casual lunch with family. A must come to place. read more

Excellent food, great smoothie, and Amaris, one of the employees/servers has an open heart and mind. Thank you

Dang good food, love all the fun names. Morning is it delicious vegan food, it is just dang good food (coming from a carnivore foodie). Their kale salad will rock your word. They are very transparent about the content of the food and any allergens both online and in person. It's a smaller place, but they dressed it up beautifully so you want to hang out on the couch and chill with a fresh chocolate chip cookie read more

Made it to the new Vegetation Plant Food brick and mortar location today! I'm very impressed! The brownies are as rich and decadent as ever, lavender iced latte was definitely on point and the tofu pastry was seasoned and delicious! My boyfriend said the pastry was as good as he remembers the Jamaican beef patties he ate as a kid were while growing up in Queens. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is beautiful and inviting. I can't wait to see what the future looks like for them! I hope they are able to add staple items to the made to order menu and have the opportunity to be open more days than just on the weekends. Great job Veg Crew y'all have came a long way! read more

A great hidden vsgan gem. The menu varies week to week. Give them a try. Hubby had the chickpea salad loving every bite.

Was excited about coming here because of the reviews but when we arrived no one welcomed us, offered to set us down or acknowledged that we were there until after waiting 10min we finally asked to be seated. No one responded or even came to the table to take an order or offer any assistance. We sat long enough to find somewhere else to eat and decided to leave. Would have loved to have tried the food but service is everything to me. read more

The atmosphere is very lovely. Order at the counter. The korean tacos were amazing, as were the quesadillas (but menus change every week). Well worth seeking out. Pretty close to the Polk Museum and Library. Reasonably priced. Lots in the grab snd go cases too. read more

Yes yes & YES! Everything I have been looking for. Food was delicious! Service was phenomenal & Ambiance was so relaxing. Can't wait to go back read more

Still loving the food, but the spice level has been turned up too much. Had a few friends I recommended try it out say the same. It's spicy Indian cuisine level hot, too much for more than a few I've spoken to. read more

Tried this place for the first time on Saturday June 7th. Walked in and was not greeted by staff. Went up to the counter and was met with a rude "What can I get you?" Ordered a smoothie and was told they didn't have it. We were never asked if that was our first time there, if we had any questions about the menu, etc. Ordered a loaded quesadilla, a breakfast pocket and a lemonade. While waiting for our food I heard a young girl in the back say the F word and continue to be obscene. Received our food only to have the breakfast pocket be half frozen and the quesadilla falling apart with it tasting sour. Sent breakfast pocket back only for it to come out rock hard. The rude girl at the counter never asked if everything was okay, she was too busy sweeping. The place was unwelcoming. This place gives vegans a bad name. Waste of time and money. read more

This place is so good you won't believe it's made of plants! Their decor is great and I also love how their menu changes!

The food was excellent. The staff were very pleasant and answered any questions that I had. I had the maple Dijon bowl and my friend had the birria tacos. Both were excellent. Even my no vegetarian friends would approve. read more

The food and service was great! It was our first time there because we don't live near there but be will definitely be back. As relates to the ambiance, It's a small cozy restaurant that is decorated nicely. read more

I ordered two lasagna to go. I test before into the rest. But let me tell you those are different. I found only source and vegan cheese. No meat at all. So We don't like the lasagna. To acid. To spicy and expensive food. read more

Food is excellent, service excellent would definitely return. We had the burger and it was awesome, we loved the cookies as well. Too late in the day for us to try the coffee but we plan to go back read more

Great new vegan cafe & kitchen "brick & mortar", born out of the city's business incubator and moving from available as delivery or at Saturday market. The creators are talented & knowledgeable in vegan food combinations with vivid flavors. A favorite is curried chickpea salad (great for sandwiches) and their crunch bowl. Portions are generous. They also make desserts & coffees, coffee drinks (with oat, soy or almond milk). They have a cold case for grab & go meals and a casual trendy space for "eat-ins". I've had a couple of their great cookies (3 for $4) including pecan-cardamom & "trail mix". They make a nice spinach puff and a great tomato soup. Their espresso bean comes from Tampa and is delicious. Food is tasty for non-vegans as well and those who search for gluten-free. Currently only Friday, Saturday & Sunday hours. Friendly folks anxious to help you learn about "clean eating". We now have 2 dedicated vegan brick & mortars in Lakeland. read more

So glad a friend showed me this place! It's a super cute spot with very friendly staff! The food is delicious and I can't wait to try everything. I've had the Chick Chick Salad, Potato Salad & Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats and they were all so good. I wish they were open more days but they make it so easy to stock your fridge to get you through the week! I will be visiting at least once a week! read more

The food and the vibe here is amazing. Faith and the crew do a great job of making food that is good for you (and the planet) feel like an indulgence. I'm coming here every time I come to Lakeland!!! read more

Welp internet family Vegetation has done it again. My 2nd time paying them a visit and they absolutely blew me away! Mind you, i am new to the plant based world apart from plant based cheeses since I am severely lactose intolerant. So this is all very new to me, this time I ordered a iced vanilla matcha and lasagna to have there. And took a cheezy broccoli soup, garlic scallion cream cheeze spread and 2 cookies (pumpkin and oatmeal) to go. I must admit the lasagna was sooooo good I stopped myself several times from getting up and asking if this was in fact all plant based. It was by far the best lasagna I have ever had. Then it hit me and I mean really hit me to the point of tears. As it dawned on me that that was in fact the first time in 38 years of life that I had ever had more then just a taste of lasagna! Even chasing it w several lactaid pills I always got super sick. So now sitting there having an entire serving and knowing it wasn't going to hurt me just broke me in the most grateful of ways. I was so embarrassed as I left smiling but with literal tears rolling down my face. Lol I reassured the owner it was genuine tears of joy and gratitude for establishments such as this one, for making moments like these possible for ppl like me. Eternally grateful and looking forward to go back. If you haven't gone GO! Their menu changes weekly and coming from a person that is not a regular vegan/plant based eater the food is absolutely delicious I promise. read more
