SOMETHING SWEET
Donut Friend
A must-stop for every vegan visitor to LA, Donut Friends in Downtown L.A. and Highland Park offers vegan donuts named after rock bands.

Magpies Softserve
Vegan soft serve isn’t a regular occurrence on many menus, but this Silver Lake sweet shoppe offers a buffet of flavors and toppings, explaining why there’s often a line out the door. The “Fried Pie” (corn almond soft serve layered with vegan fudge, honeycomb, topped with non-dairy whipped cream and fried corn flake streusel) is perfect for parties or celebrations. Take note, not everything is vegan, so study the menu or ask the friendly staff questions before ordering and check ahead online for the flavour of the day. www.magpiessoftserve.com/
Van Leeuwen Franklin Village
This bi-coastal chain offers a cashew-based vegan menu of inventive and classic flavors. (Warning: pints of black sesame and vegan chocolate chip cookie dough may not make it home.) If you’re nowhere near their three L.A. locations of Downtown L.A., Hollywood and Culver City, just look for the pastel-colored truck out front The Broad Museum and on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. https://vanleeuwenicecream.com/
