Are you currently looking for vegan options in the Salt Lake City International (SLC) Airport?
You’re in the right place!
In this guide we’ll breakdown each concourse, giving you the best vegan options available, where they are and a couple menu suggestions.
We found a few local restaurants inside the airport, but couldn’t determine which, if any, offered good vegan options. If you know of any that we’re missing, please reach out and let us know so we can improve this guide!
Vegan Options at Salt Lake City Airport
For chain restaurants in this guide, click on the name to see a full menu. Be aware that their options may vary in the airport.
Concourse A
Shake Shack
(Departures Hall)
We have been made aware at another airport that they did not offer the Veggie Shack or Non-Dairy Shake but if this location does… Shake Shack has given us a veggie burger in 2023 called their Veggie Shack. It does require many modifications to make it vegan so look at our guide for updated details. Make it a complete order with fries and their non-dairy chocolate shake.
Be aware that airport locations can vary with what they offer so double check these items are available before ordering.
Panda Express (Departures Hall)
Panda Express is a great spot for a few accidentally vegan menu items if you do not mind cross-contamination. My favorite order is steamed rice with super greens (top with a teriyaki sauce packet) and vegetable spring rolls.
The apple pie roll is vegan-friendly as well!
Starbucks (Departures Hall and Gate A11)
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.
On the food side, you have a few options including the Chickpea Bites & Avocado Protein Box, Bagels (plain or everything) and various snacks. Check the ingredients on the snacks.
California Pizza Kitchen (Gate A3)
California Pizza Kitchen has some really nice vegan options but be aware that the airport location options may vary.
We suggest cross-referencing our CPK vegan guide with the menu that is available here. Look for their Dakota Smashed Pea & Barley Soup or Tomato Basil Spaghetti. These are your vegan as-is options.
CPK’s Plant-Based Chicken is NO longer available. We were made aware of this in May 2023.
Jamba (Gate A12)
Jamba offers so many vegan smoothie options. On their guide, we have listed the ingredients in each. With the addition of Oatmilk Frozen Dessert (aka vegan ice cream), you can make any smoothie a milkshake! 🙂
Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh (Gate A13)
At Garbanzo, you can create a salad, rice bowl, plate, fulfill… so many vegan options!
Beans & Brews (Gate A15)
Beans & Brews Coffee House online menu has avocado toast you can order vegan and multiple dairy-free milk options. We suggest verifying if there are any other vegan options they have prior to ordering.
Cafe Rio (Gate A17)
Cafe Rio is a ‘create your own’ bowl or burrito type of spot similar to a Chipotle or Qdoba. While Cafe Rio isn’t quite as vegan-friendly as those two chains, you can put together a pretty good bite to eat.
Try either Tacos or Tostadas (the tortillas contain milk) and add beans, pico, lettuce and guacamole.
Squatters Pub Brewery (Gate A20)
Squatters vegan options are labeled on their menu. They currently have one… Thai Yellow Curry with Sticky Rice. You can add Charbroiled Organic Tofu to it as well. They have other vegetarian options that we have been told can be modified. We suggest asking.
Their menu can change so let us know if we need to update this at any time.
Panera Bread (Gate A21)
A couple of easy orders at Panera: For breakfast, we suggest their Steel Cut Oatmeal with Strawberries & Peans or a Peach and Blueberry Smoothie (is made with almond milk). And for lunch/dinner, a Baja or Mediterranean Bowl with NO feta or yogurt or an Asian Sesame Salad with NO chicken or wontons.
White Horse (Gate A25)
A VeggL user let us know White Horse offers a delicious Vegetarian Vegetable Hash that can be made vegan by requesting NO egg. We were told it is a blend of veggies with hummus. Add hot sauce (Cholula) to, “kick it up a notch.”
Thank you for the info, Patrick!
Protein Bar & Kitchen (Gate 27)
A VeggL user let us know that Protein Bar offers clearly marked vegan options; including tofu. They offer bowls, salads, smoothies, oatmeal and protein shakes.
Thank you for the info, Tom!
Burger King (Gate 27)
Burger King has a few vegan options if you are ok with *cross-contamination. If so, you can get French Toast Sticks and Hash Browns at breakfast or an Impossible Whopper with Fries for lunch or dinner. Click on our vegan guide
to see a complete list.
Vessel Kitchen (Gate A29)
A VeggL user let us know that Vessel Kitchen has “great vegan food.”
Thank you for the recommendation, Katie!
Auntie Anne’s (Gate A36)
Many Auntie Anne’s pretzels are vegan (Original, Cinnamon and a few others) as long as you ask for them to be prepared with NO butter!
Verify with the airport location that they are able to make you a special order and be prepared to wait. The pretzels with NO butter are not an option that is readily available.
Jimmy John’s (Gate A42)
Jimmy John’s has some of our favorite bread! Order a Veggie Sub with Chips. 🙂
Millcreek Coffee Roasters (Gate A45)
Coffee, lattes, etc with soy, oat, coconut or almond milk. They also offer food but we have not determined which items are vegan-friendly other than fruit.
Concourse B
According to what we could find on the Salt Lake City Airport Dining Page, there are only a few restaurants total in Concourse B and they are mostly local. If you happen to learn of any vegan options in Concourse B, please let us know!
Smashburger (B5)
SmashBurger may have vegan milkshakes but no other vegan options.
Pick Up Stix (B13)
You can check with Pick Up Stix and ask if they have any vegan tofu or veggie dishes. Or maybe some edamame.
Wasatch Brewery offers vegan hot oatmeal for breakfast. They only have a couple of items notated as vegan on their menu. We suggest asking if any others can be modified.
