vegan coachella 2010
12hey everyone! with coachella just one week away, it’s time to do a post about some of the great vegan food you can find inside and around the festival. here is a look at some vendors we know are gonna be there for sure.
vegan tofu naanwich from cowboys and turbans. $7
quarrygirl favorite cowboys and turbans will have a booth on coachella grounds, and they will be serving up their delicious indian/mexican fusion with a plethora of vegan offerings. we’ve had their food before at the festival, and it was excellent. according to their head chef, they’ll be serving up food between the outdoor stage and the gobi tent. be sure to check this place out, it’s our #1 pick.

our first sweet-tooth choice at coachella would of course be luscious organic desserts…
luscious organic desserts espresso cupcake
the company wowed us last year with their high quality vegan cupcakes, and we are happy to report that they’ll be back in 2010 in both the main section AND the VIP area.

even if you are doing the raw thing, there will be food for you at coachella. check out the booth by 118 degrees…
raw pizza and pasta salad from jenny's raw and organic
last year we had their raw pizza, pasta salad, and tacos. i’m pretty sure they will be in the main section and VIP area this year, and they will be either under the name “118 degrees” or “jenny’s raw & organic.”

here are some more places that have been inside the festival in the past, and i’m hoping they’ll be back this year….
vegan pesto pizza at coachella. $6/slice
pie for the people has been at coachella for several years, and if you see this place, you MUST TRY THEIR VEGAN PIZZA. it is sooooo good! you can probably find them inside the sahara beer garden (sorry, kids!) sporting a huge banner that says “NY-STYLE SLICES.” their pie is honestly better than most pizzeria pizza in LA, so don’t miss it.
there’s also a stand called sweet leaf organics with tons of vegan options such as tempeh burgers and tofu wraps…
marinated tempeh burger. $9
just be careful if you decide to hit up sweet leaf. last year ALL of their dressings contained honey, so vegans would have to order their food extra dry. 🙁

and lastly, there is usually a sushi vendor in the VIP area…i forget their name, but they do a wicked vegan sushi plate…
vegan sushi with a side of inari. $12
those are my top food picks for coachella, but please lemme know if you find any other great places to eat on festival grounds. if you are looking for restaurants to eat in the palm springs area, you’d be crazy not to check out native foods and nature’s cafe.
sadly i can’t make it this year, but if you send me pictures of your coachella vegan food, i will most likely post them on the blog (even if they were taken with a cell phone!). have fun! and please report back! 🙂

I don’t really have a problem with honey. I don’t go out of my way to eat it, but I take the same approach on avoiding it.
Instead of vegan then, I’m a honey-a-tarian?

Yay! Looking forward to eating at Coachella! I was a little worried about our options.

Holy crap. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more excited about Coachella, you go and post this. This is my first time going and so far it’s looking like it’ll be Heaven on Earth…

Off topic a bit, but Slate has a great article about the honey / no-honey argument among vegans.
http://www.slate.com/id/2196205/
In the 18 years of being vegan myself, and in my global travels I’d say that at least half the vegans I know and have met, and at least half the self described vegan restaurants have been OK with honey. It seems the only thing vegans can agree on in regards to honey is that no one agrees on it.

Sweet leaf had a vegan agave dressing option this year! It was delicious.
