If you’re reading this, there is a good chance you’re currently standing in (or landing at) the Denver International Airport and are looking for vegan options.
Finding vegan options when you’re traveling is already hard enough and airports add the added element of ‘what if’. You find a decent vegan option as you’re walking through your terminal, but then you wonder ‘what if’ there is a better option further down.
That’s why we created this guide!
This guide will give you every option we have found plus ones our VeggL users have let us know about. Some locations may even have a link that will take you to a complete vegan options guide for that particular restaurant.
If you notice something that needs to be corrected – please let us know!
Vegan Options at Denver Airport
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.
A Gates
Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream (Center Core)
Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops generally have a couple of non-dairy (vegan) flavors available. Ask prior to ordering.
Caribou Coffee (Center Core)
Check with this location to verify which non-dairy milk they are available but it should be almond, coconut and/or oat. Order a coffee, latte, hot tea, oatmeal or a bagel (blueberry, plain, everything, sesame).
Caribou also offers a Just Egg Roasted Tomato & Pesto Flatbread. Airport locations can vary in what is offered, we suggest asking prior to ordering.
Dunkin’ Donuts (Center Core)
Multiple bagels (like Everything and Cinnamon Raisin) are available. Avocado Toast and Hashbrowns make Dunkin a decent choice.
Dunkin’ also now offers both oat, almond and coconut milk (with an extra charge) which makes many coffee combinations possible.
Freshens (Center Core)
Freshens is a ‘healthy options’ spot that are often found in airports. They have a bunch of vegan smoothies that you can choose from (straight from the menu, no need to modify). You can also ‘create-your-own’ salad as well.
Panda Express (Center Core)
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.
Quiznos (A34)
Sub, sammies & salads are at Quiznos. We have a couple of options listed on their vegan guide (with modifications) or you can create your own!
B Gates
Click on the name of any chain restaurant to see the full guide showing all their vegan options. Be aware that airport location menus can vary though.
Chick-fil-A (Center Core)
Chick-fil-A’s Cool Wrap (with modifications) is a great airport/plane meal. You could add Waffle Fries, their Kale Crunch Side or a Fruit Cup as a side. We suggest verifying you can make modifications prior to ordering.
Modern Market (Center Core)
A couple of VeggL users let us know that Modern Market offers a Buddha bowl (with tofu, rice, peanuts, broccoli, cabbage and carrots with a spicy peanut sauce), a Vegan Verde Bowl (tofu, kale, rice, quinoa, spring mix, avocado apple cider vinaigrette, pickled red onion, cucumber, roasted brussels sprouts and spicy roasted broccoli) and a Curry Sweet Potato Soup that are ALL vegan-friendly.
Look for the V+ on their menu–this denotes vegan. Yum!
Thank you for this recommendation and information, Cynthia & Matt!
Garbanzo Fresh Mediterranean (Center Core)
Plenty of vegan options at Garbanzo! Create a stuffed pita, salad, rice bowl, plate or laffa (a wrap). Pick your protein… falafel of course. Add your fillings; hummus, veggies & whatnot; then your sauce.
Qdoba (Center Core / Mezzanine)
Create a burrito, salad, tacos or bowl at Qdoba. Add rice, beans, fajita veggies, salsas, chips, and guacamole.
Impossible Meat has been on its way out
of Qdoba since December 2022; however, we have been told mixed info on this location offering it. As of March 2023, it appears to still be on the menu but a couple of months ago, we were told it is no longer being offered here. Please ask prior to ordering.
Snooze (Center Core / Mezzanine)
Snooze is a breakfast & brunch spot that was recommended by our VeggL user, Robbie. Verify which options the airport location offers that are vegan. We know they do have tofu & soyrizo.
Our Snooze guide also states vegan pancakes but we have been made aware that the Denver airport location no longer carries them.
Caribou Coffee (Mezzanine)
Check with this location to verify which non-dairy milk they are available but it should be almond, coconut and/or oat. Order a coffee, latte, hot tea, oatmeal or a bagel (blueberry, plain, everything, sesame).
Caribou also offers a Just Egg Roasted Tomato & Pesto Flatbread. Airport locations can vary in what is offered, we suggest asking prior to ordering.
Jamba Juice (Mezzanine)
Many vegan smoothie options can be ordered straight off the menu (Protein Berry Workout with Soy Protein and the Greens n’ Ginger are our favorites).
They have multiple non-dairy milk alternatives (vanilla coconutmilk, unsweetened almondmilk, soymilk, Oatly oatmilk), including So Delicious Oatmilk Frozen dessert, that you can utilize.
A couple of different Juice options as well.
Voodoo Doughnut (Mezzanine / NE Side)
A VeggL user let us know there is a Voodoo Doughnuts with vegan options at this airport. 🙂
Thank you for the info, Jessica!
Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs (Gate B24)
A VeggL user let us know that Steve’s has veggie dogs! The bun is vegan, the dogs are smart dogs, and they have a vegetarian (also vegan) chili to top it with.
Thank you for this great info, Tori!
Starbucks (B32 & B80)
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 or everything), Strawberry Overnight Grains or Oatmeal. They also have plenty of snacks. Check the ingredient lists.
Que Bueno! Mexican Grille (B52)
On the Denver Airport Dining Guide it does note on their page that they have vegan options. We’ve now been told by a VeggL Reader (thank you Lupe!) that Que Bueno! allows you to sub any meat on a taco/enchilada with a veggie mix.
They also have nachos (order with no cheese) and chips and guac. Be sure to confirm with your server that these options are all vegan.
C Gates
Root Down (Center Core)
Root Down is an award-winning nationally acclaimed restaurant right inside the Denver Airport. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have a large variety of vegan options.
If you want something special and unique, as opposed to just a quick grab from a chain, this is the place to try.
(Remember the tram inside the airport can pretty quickly take you anywhere in the airport.)
Einstein Bros. Bagels (Center Core)
A ton of great vegan bagel options (honestly way too many to list here – click the Einstein Bros. link to see them all) and Einstein makes pretty good coffee in my opinion. There are also one or two vegan lunch choices as well.
Starbucks (Center Core)
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.
Auntie Anne’s (C26)
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.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (C29)
With 3 different non-dairy milk options (soy, coconut and almond) you have plenty of options to get your morning (or afternoon) caffeine kick!
Caribou Coffee (C32)
Check with this location to verify which non-dairy milk they are available but it should be almond, coconut and/or oat. Order a coffee, latte, hot tea, oatmeal or a bagel (blueberry, plain, everything, sesame).
Caribou also offers a Just Egg Roasted Tomato & Pesto Flatbread. Airport locations can vary in what is offered, we suggest asking prior to ordering.
Jamba Juice (C32)
