Vegan Food Carts in Portland

Portland’s food carts offer an array of delicious plant-based options.

Vegans exploring Portland’s food trucks will find plenty of tasty options, with around one-fifth of all food trucks in the city offering vegan menu items. The Whole Bowl’s rice and bean bowls, topped with garlicky tali sauce, are a perennial crowd-pleaser and are easily customizable to suit vegan needs. At Cartopia, Portland’s original food cart pod, Potato Champion serves up fresh-cut fries with a variety of vegan sauces — including satay and rosemary truffle ketchup — and is known for its poutine topped with vegan curds and gravy. Honey Butter Country Fare’s menu features a variety of tofu-based corn dogs and other fried foods cooked in a dedicated vegan fryer.

For those seeking delicious 100% plant-based menus, comfort food is the name of the game, with carts offering hearty fare, including grilled cheese, burgers and fries, fusion bowls, soup and sandwiches, and sushi burritos. Wicked Garden Alchemy pleases with loaded burgers, sandwiches and fries, all named after the macabre and mythological, and blended brews, including seasonal lemonades and oat milk-based drinks.

Read on to find vegan food carts in Portland. Please note that these are carts with vegan options, not carts that are strictly vegan (find all-vegan food carts here).
