The Los Angeles International Airport is one of, if not the most vegan friendly airport in the US.
Whereas in most airports just finding the good vegan options is our goal. At LAX, we want to make sure you don’t miss out on some of the AWESOME vegan options that the Los Angeles Airport has to offer.
We have separated the airport by terminals. We’ll give you the best vegan-friendly locations in the terminal along with a few suggestions of items you can order.
You can click on the names of the majority of these places (the chains) and it will take you to a dedicated vegan guide for that restaurant.
If you know information that can help make this page better or if you see an update needs to be made, please let us know!
Vegan Options at Los Angeles Airport
Midfield Satellite Concourse
Farmer’s Fridge (Great Hall)
Vegan Options in a fridge (aka a vending machine), touchless ordering and offers a reward program with 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.
Terminal 1
Einstein Bros Bagels
Over a dozen different vegan bagels to choose from including popular choices like Cinnamon Raisin, Everything and Blueberry. Top your bagel with a choice of natural peanut butter, natural grape jelly or hummus. And don’t forget the coffee!
California Pizza Kitchen
California Pizza Kitchen has some really nice vegan options.
We suggest cross-referencing our CPK vegan guide with the menu that is available at this airport location. Look for their Lettuce Wraps with Chinese Vegetables, 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.
Trejo’s Tacos
Vegan Tacos
Rock & Brews
Salad options. Just make sure to ask for no meat & cheese
Chick-Fil-A
The Waffle Fries are vegan (so is the multigrain bagel if it’s breakfast) and you can get a little creative with a wrap or a salad. Personally I like ordering the Cool Wrap with NO Chicken, Cheese or Avocado Lime Dressing (sub the Chili Lime Vinaigrette).
That’s a little more complicated than I like to make my orders, but it’s really good.
Pei Wei Asian Diner
Tofu, Rice and Veggies with a few different choices of sauces. Also offers Edamame if you want a quick snack.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Almond, Coconut and Soy milk available along with, not surprisingly, lots of coffees and teas.
They also have a Banana Nut Loaf to go with your drink of choice.
Urth Caffe & Bar
Coffee spot with oat, almond & soy milk available for an additional charge. Per their menu, they offer a Vegan Sprout Sandwich.
Terminal 2
BUILT (Custom Burgers)
BUILT has a veggie burger (Impossible Burger) that is vegan with your choice of toppings.
Starbucks (One Location Pre-Security, One Location in Terminal 2)
Lots of drink choices at Starbucks and a variety of simple food options including the new(ish) chickpea protein box (pictured above). It’s not the most amazing thing you’ll ever eat, but as a quick bite in the airport, could work really well.
Breeze
Breeze features made from scratch meals that include oats, smoothies, fresh guac and chips, and veggie jars. You can order up to 24 hours in advance on their web app, and choose your pick up time.
Terminal 3
Panda Express
Chow Mein* and Vegetable Springs Rolls* are all great accidentally vegan options at Panda Express. Pair these with steamed white or brown rice and add a side their yummy Super Greens*.
Cross-contamination info is available on our vegan guide for them but as with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan cross-contamination can/will be an issue. You choose your level of comfort.
Starbucks
Tons of vegan drink varieties along with bagels, oatmeal and a variety of snacks. As of the Spring of 2021, Starbucks has a ‘vegan protein box’ that features Chickpea bites and reminds us of a Lunchable for grown-ups.
Terminal 4
Campanile
Vegetable & Hummus Cup … classic hummus, celery, carrots & red bell pepper
Kogi BBQ Taco Truck
Kimchi Tacos and Burritos
La Brea Bakery
Baby Kale Salad with grapefruit and pistachios and a Quinoa Salad with roasted beets
Dunkin’ Donuts
Lots of coffee options including multiple plant based milks to choose from. On the food side, they have a few varieties of bagel and some pretty tasty hash browns. They also recently added avocado toast (pictured above) to the menu.
Terminal 5
Farmers Market
Pieces of fruit and snacks, like pretzels & hummus, can be found here.
But be aware a VeggL user let us know this could be considered a small food court so it may take time to find options.
Ford’s Filling Station
Organic Steel Cut Oats (breakfast) and the Urban Herbivore Sandwich … smashed avocado, tomato, cucumber, onion sprout, pickled onion and green chili aioli. We have NOT confirmed if this is a vegan sandwich as-is. You will have to ask if it is or how to make it vegan before ordering.
We have had VeggL users order this and said it was delicious but we didn’t get clarity on how to order it to make it vegan.
Lemonade
Thanks to a VeggL follower, Luke, we have been told that Lemonade rotates their vegan options regularly so we cannot guarantee that you will find an entrée but you should at least be able to find a couple of sides.
You will have to ask what is available at your time of visiting.
Skewers by Morimoto
Tofu and Veggie Kebabs
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
Almond, Coconut and Soy milk are available along with, not surprisingly, lots of coffees and teas.
They used to have a vegan banana loaf but we were told it’s no longer available. Check to see if any other vegan options are available.
Terminal 6
Earthbar
Smoothies, Coffee, and Kombucha. Verify vegan options.
Point the Way Cafe
Vegan options show availability on their online menu; however, we have been made aware by a VeggL user that none could be found when visiting the restaurant (as of October 2022). We suggest asking if you happen to stop by.
Starbucks (Pre-Security)
Tons of vegan drink varieties along with bagels, oatmeal and a variety of snacks. As of the Spring of 2021, Starbucks has a ‘vegan protein box’ that features Chickpea bites and reminds us of a Lunchable for grown-ups.
Terminal 7
Wolfgang Puck Express
Veggie Wrap and a customizable kale and quinoa salad
BLD
Vegan Tomato Soup
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Almond, Coconut and Soy milk available along with, not surprisingly, lots of coffees and teas.
They also have a Banana Nut Loaf to go with your drink of choice.
Terminal 8
Carl’s Jr
Carl’s Jr now carries the Beyond Burger. A Beyond Famous Star (no cheese no mayo) is an easy go-to choice. They also carry a Beyond Sausage Burrito for breakfast (order with no egg and cheese)
Corona Bar and Grill
The only info we have on Corona Bar and Grill is their description which specifically states that they offer vegan items. They did not have a menu available so you’ll have to stop by and ask what those options are.
Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B)
800 Degrees Pizza
We initially had listed that 800 Degrees Pizza offers a non-dairy cheese. We recently (September 2022) were made aware they do not by a VeggL user. We suggest verifying before ordering.
Border Grill
We have not confirmed vegan options or the cross-contamination of chips, but Border Grill does offer Chips & Guac or Salsa. You can ask if they can make anything else vegan.
Asian Street Eats by Chef Hung
Vegetable Potstickers and Mixed Rice Bowls with Tofu
ink.sack
If you’ve ordered a Vegan Banh Mi from here in the past, as of September 2022, they no longer do. 🙁
P.F. Chang’s
Vegan Options include Veggie Lettuce Wraps (which are amazing), Ma Po Tofu and Thai Chili.
Panda Express
Chow Mein, Super Greens, and Spring Rolls are the main vegan options at Panda Express. As of September 7, 2022 Beyond Orange Chicken* is available at all locations. Still says for a limited time.
Pret-A-Manager
We suggest checking with this location to verify what options they have available that are vegan. We had a few listed here but received info from a VeggL user that they struggled to get anything.
Starbucks
Tons of vegan drink varieties along with bagels, oatmeal and a variety of snacks. As of the Spring of 2021, Starbucks has a ‘vegan protein box’ that features Chickpea bites and reminds us of a Lunchable for grown-ups.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (2 Locations Pre-Security)
Almond, Coconut and Soy milk available along with, not surprisingly, lots of coffees and teas.
They also have a Banana Nut Loaf to go with your drink of choice.
Umami Burger
The Impossible Burger OOH MAMI! (served with two impossible burger patties, grilled onions, american cheese, miso-mustard, house spread, dill pickles, lettuce, tomato). Order with NO CHEESE and ask if the miso-mustard and house spread is vegan.
We also suggest checking cross-contamination of the burger if that is an issue for you prior to ordering.
