If you have time check this place out!

This place has multiple vegan options from breakfast, lunch/dinners, and a grab and go section too (with different options than there sit down menu). Staff is super nice and asks you if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions while you order, thanks for looking out! 🙏

Pros: Tons of options, Varying cuisines in one place

A LIFE SAVER when hangry on a trip!

The lady at the counter was very kind. I tried my very first tofu Bahn Mi sandwich here and it was SO good that I bought another to put in my carry-on.

Pros: Yay for vegan options at the airport!, Reasonable prices

Wow! Fast and delicious!

Lightning fast service, and I always appreciate when the menu clearly labels what items are vegan-friendly (NOTE: vegan *by request* -- be sure to specify). The veggie burger has great flavor, the slaw added crunch and served on a pretzel bun with guac... And last but certainly not least the sweet potato waffle fries were *chef's kiss*

I am honestly looking forward to coming back here on my next layover in the Denver airport.

Pros: Several clearly labeled vegan-friendly options, Delicious sweet potatoes waffle fries, FAST service

Cons: Pricey - but it's great food in an airport

Decent for an airport

Beet salad was a welcome bit of fresh greens & vegetables (without cheese) during travel. Nice to have this option in an airport, although soy-free options are limited. FYI house made veggie burger contains soy.

Pros: Fresh , In airport

Cons: Few soy free options, Everything requires modification

Quick, easy, and good.

Didn’t have time to go into the restaurant so just grabbed vegan tofu Bahn mi sandwiches from the grab and go portion of the restaurant. Sandwiches weren’t anything to write home about but were pretty good and satisfying before hopping on a flight. Grateful they had them!

Vegan breakfast burrito

It’s not on the menu but the vegan breakfast burrito is a wonderful hearty option. Was recommended to me by staff when I asked about the vegan scramble. They had ready made vegan tofu banh mi sandwiches as well

Pros: Good amount of vegan options , Knowledgeable staff, Quick

Great place

Was super excited to find this place at the airport. Pricy, but delicious. Handful of options to choose from, with additional ones that can be made vegan. Waiter was happy to accommodate when I asked to make the ramen vegan!

Be careful

Ordered the ramen vegan. Waitress asked if I could have eggs, I said no. Served it with bacon and eggs anyway -_-.

Not a boring veggie burger

I arrived at the Denver airport hunnnngry and was glad to see places with vegan options in the airport on Happy Cow. The veggie burger was pricy and flavorful. It wasn't just a Boca burger with a sad piece of lettuce and tomato.

Freaking Awesome!

Not a ton of choices but super helpful and accommodating. I ordered the banh mi vegan. Really good, also a great idea to add jalapenos jelly to it. Staff were very friendly. If I'm in the Denver Airport again, I'll definitely come again.

Pros: Very accommodating of dietary needs

Cons: Not a ton of options

On a 5 hour Layover!

Nice glass of wine and a leisurely place to eat. I found this treasure.

Pros: Tons of vegan options , The ramen is INSANE!, Don’t get hummus. Veggies limp, watery.

Cons: Staff is a bit blah. But the food made up for it, Definitely need bigger spoons for broth.

Delicious Banh Mi with country fried tofu

The Banh Mi with country fried tofu was so delicious, I will be sure to make my way out to Terminal C again for more. I told our server I was vegan, so he left out the Sriracha mayo. The Banh Mi and sweet potato fries came out with custom wooden flags marked "Vegan". There was some sambal cream cheese on the tofu, but I didn't think to ask if it was plant-based.

Our server was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant has fun ambiance, and big windows with views of airplanes. The service was fast.

Pros: delicious banh mi with country fried tofu, plate flagged with custom "vegan" toothpicks, fast, friendly service

Good options for an airport

Not a destination restaurant but very nice to have in an airport. Some airports have nothing vegan at all. Root Down has a nice breakfast for the traveling vegan. I stopped here on a layover and was delighted to find their tofu scramble. Many other menu items can be made vegan. Menu has "V" next to items that can be made vegan.

A few different vegan options

I’m obsessed with their ramen(minus the egg) with a side of chicken fried tofu. The Tofu soaks up all the yummy left over broth.

Pros: Hard to find vegan ramen, The lady that works the grab and go is AMAZING!

Cons: Expensive.

Best airport food!

There were several vegan options on the menu. We tried the ramen and the veggie burger and both were tasty! Sweet potato waffle fries were mediocre, but everything else made up for it. We will definitely be back when we are in the Denver airport!

Pros: Speedy service, Several options, Decent prices for airport food

Cons: Waffle fries were disappointing, Need enough time for a sit down

I love Vegan Options at the Airport

Having traveled through many an airport I am always happy to find a restaurant with vegan options. The staff is super friendly and helpful in pointing out what food and beers are vegan. The veggie burger was satisfying and who knew the jalapeno jelly could be so good. Its served with waffle fries. The portion was a little underwhelming for the price, but that's par for the course for airport fare.
They have a great beer selection here and it appeared to be a spot where other airport bartenders stopped in before heading safely home.
I'll be stopping by the next time I have a layover here for sure

Pros: Vegan Options, Tasty Bites, Friendly Staff

Forgot what it was like to eat real food at the airport!

The service was super fast & friendly! The layout was cute too—plenty of seating without feeling like we were eating in a Galleria food court. Our server cheerfully explained which items could be veganized (there were a number of options to choose from) and double-checked whether we had any allergen concerns before putting our order in. The burger was tasty (the jalapeño jelly!) and the coffee was... good?? Fresh vegan food AND good coffee? in MY airport??? I could cry. Give me all my layovers in DIA!

Pros: clearly marked veg options , variety of flavors & foods, great service

would be 5 stars but app won't let me

This restaurant has vegan soup, salad, entrees, and deserts. The Pasole soup and beet salad were amazing. I had the vegan burger and it was just ok until i asked for pickles to add to it.

Hot Vegan Meal, delicious!!

Had the beet root veggie burger and pozole. DELICIOUS!! Perfect for a layover. Staff is conscientious about timing for your layover, will pack to go. Burger comes out with a VEGAN toothpick, so you can rest assured your burger is vegan. Really cool atmosphere and decor. Will eat there again next time in Denver.

Pros: atmosphere/ decor , vegan options , delicious
