Sometimes it can be difficult to think of what to do for Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day. This isn’t a problem I encounter often because I LOVE making heart shaped food. But I know not everyone wants to spend an entire weekend in the kitchen. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t have a romantic relationship with your kitchen, then this list is for you.
In addition to supporting vegan businesses, I think it’s important to support your local small businesses. Especially when so many vegan restaurants are closing. So, I have only included chain restaurants as a last resort at the end of the list.
This list of cute vegan food you can order this February 14 is limited to Sacramento vegan businesses since I live in Roseville. If you’re looking for this type of information in other cities, let me know, and I might be able to put you in touch with someone near you who would know. Us heart-shaped-food-loving peeps have a secret club, haha.
Planted Foods
Planted Foods is a plant-based cafe in Sacramento that offers breakfast and lunch takeout. They have vegan donuts, healthy jucies, salads, and wraps.
On Valentine’s Day, they’ll be offering heart shaped waffles with strawberry rose glaze! It will be available on February 14 from 9am-1pm (or until they sell out).
Veg Cafe
Veg Cafe is an all-vegan restaurant in Sacramento on the same block as Babe’s. I’ve only been there for brunch, but they’re also open for supper.
They’re hosting a prefix dinner for both Palentine’s Day (Feb 13) and Valentine’s Day (Feb 14). Both menus have an option to order stuffed rose pasta as the main course. Idk what it is, but it sounds super cute!
Balance Coffee Shop
Balance is an almost-vegan coffee shop, so make sure to verify that there’s no honey in anything you plan to order. They opened within the past 2 years in Sacramento. For Valentine’s Day this year, they’ll be offering cheesy vegan biscuits, rose & cardamom cookies, and strawberry heart shaped tarts!
The Dancer’s Pantry
I’ve never been the girl who likes to receive flowers. I like seeing flowers in the neghborhood when I walk around. But I don’t like watching them die in my house. The Dancer’s Pantry sells vegan cheese bouquets for Valentine’s Day, and that is a bouquet I can get excited about.
You do have to order these at least 3 days in advance though.
Cafe Xocolatl
Cafe Xocolatl is a mostly vegan dessert cafe in midtown Sac. For Valentine’s Day, they have boxes of vegan chocolates you can buy as gifts, but they also have french vegan macarons with roses on them.
Family Donuts & Deli
Family Donuts & Deli is a donut shop similar to Ronald’s in Las Vegas, where you’d never know they had vegan donuts, if you didn’t know from the vegan community. Like Ronald’s, not all of the donuts are vegan, so make sure you ask which ones are.
For the month of February, if you call Family Donuts in advance and order a dozen heart shaped vegan donuts, they will make them for you! I recommend the boston cream doughnuts.
Rooted Gourmet
Rooted Gourmet is a private chef that does deliveries and the ocassional event. For Valentine’s Day, he is offering a prix fix vegan menu for $55/person plus ticket fees. The location is in Fair Oaks, CA.
For more info, see their Facebook post.
The Caring Kitchen
The Caring Kitchen is a gluten-free vegan bakery that offers delicious allergen-friendly baked goods. They have 2 locations in the Sacramento area: one in Rancho Cordova and one in Orangevale.
On Valentine’s Day, they’ll be offering a TBD pink treat.
Ike’s
Ike’s is omni sandwich shop with an extensive vegan menu. They started in SF, but now they have locations all over the place. I went to the Roseville location a week before Valentine’s Day, and they already had their vegan pink dutch bread. You can order a sandwich on pink bread or you can buy the pink bread loaves and bring them home to make DIY sandwiches.
They have a few locations in the Sacramento area: one in Roseville, one in midtown, and one in West sac.
Papa Murphy’s
Papa Murphy’s is an omni pizza chain that offers pizzas that you take home and bake. On Valentine’s day, they make heart shaped pizzas! Order the gourmet veggie pizza with Violife cheese and tell them you need it to be vegan and heart shaped.
