We’re about to dissect the Houston Airport terminal by terminal and tell you where to locate each vegan-friendly restaurant.
Vegan Options at Houston Airport
Many chain location names are clickable and will take you to the complete vegan guide for that restaurant.
Terminal A
Blaze Pizza (Gate A7)
Blaze Pizza is one of the vegan-friendliest pizza chains in the US. With both vegan cheese and a spicy vegan chorizo, you really have no limits in how you’d like to create your own pizza.
Which Wich (Gate A7)
Which Wich has two signature sandwiches that are vegan-friendly. The Avocado and the Black Bean Patty (can be made vegan by omitting the cheese). Add your toppings, a bag of chips and a drink.
Freshens
(Gate A7)
Smoothies!
Starbucks (Gates A7 and A17)
They have way too many vegan-friendly drinks to list here, most with either no or only slight modifications needed to order them vegan. I highly suggest checking out our Starbucks Vegan Guide to help with ordering a drink.
If you’re also getting food, I would suggest going with a bagel. Starbucks has multiple varieties of bagels that are vegan including the Plain, Cinnamon Raisin and Everything. Look for Justin’s Hazelnut or Classic Almond Butter as a spread.
First Glass Bistro (Gate A – Level 2 Check in)
On the airports website, First Glass Bistro is mentioned as having vegan options. Unfortunately, we cannot get ahold of a menu to see what they are. If you happen to stop by and ask, please let us know
so we can update here to let other vegan travelers know. 🙂
Subway (Gate A – Level 2 Check in)
Load up a sub with veggies… ask if they have Subway’s Veggie Patty. Some locations do, some not. If they do, this is vegan-friendly option as well.
My go-to order is a 6″ Veggie Delight on Hearty Multigrain with banana peppers, cucumber, green peppers, spinach, tomato and onion with sweet onion teriyaki sauce and a bag of chips. Check the ingredients on the chips you choose. -Jen
Panda Express (Gate A17)
Panda Express is a good American Chinese fast food choice. If cross-contamination is not a concern for you, their Chow Mein Noodles, Super Greens, Steamed Rice and/or Vegetable Spring Rolls are great options.
