Vegan Options at the Detroit Airport
MCNAMARA TERMINAL
Many chain location names are clickable and will take you to the complete vegan guide for that restaurant. Be aware that airport location menus can vary though.
Before Security
Dunkin’
While there are no vegan donuts, Dunkin’ still offers a few solid vegan options, including Everything and Cinnamon Raisin bagels, hash browns and avocado toast. They also provide almond and oat milk at no extra charge.
Farmer’s Fridge
A food vending machine with a reward program through the Farmer’s Fridge app. You can find a variety of options ranging from oats, a burrito bowl, chips & guac and even vegan cookie dough bites. These options will always vary. Verify option is vegan friendly prior to purchasing.
Concourse A
Farmer’s Fridge (Gates A15, A36 & A65)
If you’ve never seen or heard of Farmer’s Fridge, they are essentially an upscale version of a vending machine. Instead of chips and candy bars, Farmer’s Fridge machines are filled with fresh, healthy meals and snacks.
Many, if not all, will carry vegan options. Definitely worth stopping and checking out to see what is available.
Starbucks (Gates A18 & A61)
With the many options of non-dairy milk (oat, almond, soy, coconut) available at all Starbucks, there is almost an infinite number of vegan drinks you can order using. On the food side, you have a couple of options including Bagels (plain or everything–ask if they have guacamole or a peanut butter packet to top it with) or Oatmeal.
Airport locations may be limited so you can also check the ingredients on their snacks.
Plum Market w/ Zingermans (Gate A36)
A couple of VeggL users have given us info and recommended Plum Market for their vegan options! They offer a Vegan Chocolate and Millet Cupcake, Overnight Oats with Chia and Strawberry, Vegan Cauliflower Tacos and a Vegan Squash and Cauliflower Curry with steamed rice.
Ask what other options they have and don’t forget to check their grab-n-go section. We were also made aware that they offer a Vegan Bahn Mi and have great vegan snacks.
Thank you for the info, Stephanie, Harmony and Maria!
PF Changs (Gate A36)
You could order their Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps or their Ma Po Tofu with steamed white or brown rice. Our guide has all of their vegan options. We suggest cross-referencing it with this airport locations menu.
Illy Coffee & Fountain Bar (Gate A36)
A VeggL user reached out and let us know that Illy Coffee offers oat, almond, and soy milk. Thank you, Paul!
McDonald’s (Gate A36)
The only vegan option you will find at a McDonald’s is their oatmeal. Order it with NO cream. Technically, you could order a Hamburger with NO animal patty if you really need something but be aware the fries are NOT vegan.
Vino Volo (Gate A40)
We had a VeggL user let us know Vino Volo is an option. We suggest asking what options are or can be made vegan, but we were told you can order Avocado Toast, Avocado & Beet salad (minus the feta), and Truffle popcorn without the butter (ask them for a little extra truffle oil instead).
Piata Mediterranean Kitchen (Gate A54)
This used to be Mezza Mediterranean Grill and is now Piata Mediterranean Kitchen. Mezza had offered many vegan options including falafel and a Beyond burger that could be made vegan.
We have NO idea if this Piata Kitchen offers any vegan options. In theory, most Mediterranean restaurants do so we wanted to keep this on the guide. If you happen to stop by and learn what vegan options they specifically have, please let us know! We would love to update this better.
7 Greens (Gate A60)
7 Greens is a local Detroit salad company. We have NOT confirmed if the airport location carries the vegan options (Hippie Bowl for example) like the “not airport” location has. We suggest confirming prior to ordering.
Wahlburgers (Gate A61)
A VeggL’er let us know that Walburgers offers an Impossible Burger that can be made vegan-friendly. She said to order it with NO cheese or sauce and ask for the vegan bun. Ask this location questions, if need be as we have not verified any info here.
Tots & Fries also offered.
Thank you for the great find, Stephanie!
Qdoba (Gate A72)
Qdoba is great for a Mexican bowl or burrito. An easy order could be a bowl or burrito with sautéed fajita veggies, guacamole, pico de gallo, chile corn salsa, salsa verde, black beans and brown rice.
Chick-fil-A (Gate A72)
Waffle Fries, Kale Crunch Salad and a fruit cup are your quick vegan options at Chick-fil-A.
Concourse B
Chili’s (Gate B2)
We do not have access to the menu of this Chili’s airport location. If interested, you can cross-reference their menu with our Chili’s Vegan Guide then ask questions to further learn what they might have.
If you happen to do this and learn that they do in fact have vegan-friendly options, let us know.
Starbucks (Gate B8)
With the many options of non-dairy milk (oat, almond, soy, coconut) available at all Starbucks, there is almost an infinite number of vegan drinks you can order using. On the food side, you have a couple of options including Bagels (plain or everything–ask if they have guacamole or a peanut butter packet to top it with) or Oatmeal.
Airport locations may be limited so you can also check the ingredients on their snacks.
Farmer’s Fridge (Gate B11)
If you’ve never seen or heard of Farmer’s Fridge, they are essentially an upscale version of a vending machine. Instead of chips and candy bars, Farmer’s Fridge machines are filled with fresh, healthy meals and snacks.
Many, if not all, will carry vegan options. Definitely worth stopping and checking out to see what is available.
Concourse C
Subway (Gate C25)
Subway’s veggie patty is now vegan friendly, but it’s availability at locations is very hit and miss. If the airport location has it on the menu, it could be a good option. (especially at the Detroit airport where options are pretty limited)
Outside of the veggie patty, Subway doesn’t have anything that’s going to wow any vegan, but you can get a veggie sub and a bag of chips. It may not be exciting, but in a pinch you can grab a bite here.
EVANS TERMINAL / Concourse D

Anita’s Kitchen (Gate D23)
Anita’s Kitchen has a great selection of vegan options! And they’re labeled on the menu.
They have a few vegan smoothies, a Mediterranean bowl with falafel, a falafel pita sandwich, tabouleh salad, fattoush salad, Lebanese house salad, grilled vegetables, hummus, fried cauliflower, soup and vegan dessert.
