Vegan Options at Philadelphia Airport
Many of the chain restaurants will have a full vegan restaurant guide attached in the name. Please be aware that options may vary in airport locations.
Terminal A-East
Jack Duggan’s Pub & Restaurant (Gate A5)
This is NOT a confirmed vegan option. There is a Beyond Beef Burger at Jack Duggan’s. The only thing on it that could make it not vegan is the bun. It’s a brioche bun. If you have time and happen to stop by to ask, please let us know!
Currito Burrito (A9)
Build your own burrito or burrito bowl. Vegan-friendly toppings include tofu, white or brown rice, corn, black beans, Asian cabbage, cucumber, pico de gallo and hummus. They also carry smoothies & shakes. Ask which are vegan or can be made vegan!
Terminal A-West
Dunkin’ Donuts (A20 & Arrival Hall)
No vegan donuts, but multiple bagel selections (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin), Avocado Toast and Hashbrowns make Dunkin a pretty good choice.
Dunkin’ also now offers Almond, Oat and Coconut Milk (though at an extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible. If you need help, see our vegan guide for them for what you can order.
Bruegger’s Bagels (A24)
You have plenty of bagels to choose from at Bruegger’s! Plus vegan toppings like jelly and/or peanut butter or see if the airport location offers hummus and veggies, you could order the Garden Veggie Bagel Sandwich.
Terminal A/B Connector
Farmers Fridge
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 B
Auntie Anne’s (B4)
Auntie Anne’s pretzels can be ordered vegan IF they are willing to make yours without the butter that is added BEFORE they go into the oven. This isn’t just a VeggL hack, it’s something that they themselves promote on their website.
Having said that, we’ve had mixed luck trying to do this ourselves. Some locations are willing to do it and some won’t.
Cibo Express Gourmet Market (B4)
There are a crazy amount of these Grab & Go locations in Terminal 2. You can pick up a decent vegan snack here with options ranging from hummus to tabbouleh.
There is also a Cibo Bistro & Wine Bar next door but we couldn’t get a menu for it. If you happen to learn more, let us know so we can update the vegan options here.
Restaurants located between Gate B9 and B14
We have NOT confirmed vegan options at any of the following restaurants nor do we have access to menus; however, their listings on the Philadelphia airport website show vegan options are available. If you learn more, please let us know.
- Germantown Biergarten (Gate 9)
- Mezzogiorno (Gate 10)
- Baba Bar (Gate 13)
- Boule Cafe (Gate 14)
Terminal B/C Connector
Starbucks
Plenty of coffee drinks & combos you can create with oat, almond, soy or coconut milk. We have a list of Starbucks options broken down by hot & cold drinks plus modifications.
And don’t forget they have a few food options. Look for the Chickpea & Avocado Protein Box, a bagel (plain, cinnamon raisin or everything), Strawberry Overnight Grains or Oatmeal. They also have plenty of snacks. Check the ingredient lists.
Subway
Subway is a reliable option. Order a Veggie Sub or Salad with your choice of toppings and sauces. Also, look to see if their Veggie Patty is on the menu. It’s vegan!
An easy order would be a 6″ Veggie on Artisan Italian, Banana Peppers, Cucumber, Green Peppers, Spinach Tomatoes and Sweet Onion Sauce with a bag of Chips–check ingredients.
Chick-Fil-A
You can always go with the Waffle Fries if you’re looking for a quick snack to hold you over to your destination. If you’re wanting something a bit (okay, a lot) more healthy then the Kale Crunch Side is vegan as well.
Keep in mind this next option’s availability varies by airport location. The Cool Wrap is a good one for more substance. Order it with NO chicken, cheese or avocado lime dressing. Grab some Polynesian Sauce to dip it in.
Terminal C
Jamba Juice (C24)
SO many vegan smoothie options along with a few smoothie bowls, fresh juices and a couple of vegan food options.
Chickie & Pete’s (Gate C30)
We received confirmation that the Chickie & Pete’s crab fry ingredients are vegan and that they recommend each location to fry them separately. If this is a concern for you, ask.
Starbucks (Gate C31)
Plenty of coffee drinks & combos you can create with oat, almond, soy or coconut milk. We have a list of Starbucks options broken down by hot & cold drinks plus modifications.
And don’t forget they have a few food options. Look for the Chickpea & Avocado Protein Box, a bagel (plain, cinnamon raisin or everything), Strawberry Overnight Grains or Oatmeal. They also have plenty of snacks. Check the ingredient lists.

Burger King (Gate E11)
Hashbrowns and French Toast Sticks for breakfast or an Impossible Burger (with NO mayo) and Fries for lunch or dinner.
* The Impossible Burger and fried items (other than the fries) share a broiler/grill/fryer with animal products. As with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan or does not offer a designated cooking space for their vegan options, cross-contamination can occur and fryers/grills may be shared with animal products. You can choose what your level of comfort is with these potential issues.
Terminal F
Qdoba (Terminal F Center Food Hall Type Area)
At Qdoba, you can order a burrito, burrito bowl and tortilla chips. If interested, ask if this location still has their Impossible Meat. If not, order the Fajita Vegan Bowl. It comes with sauteed fajita veggies, guacamole, pico de gallo, chile corn salsa, salsa verde, black beans and brown rice.
