Ease into your plant-powered version with unmatched flavors, fresh ingredients, and colorful bowls from the bustling, sun-drenched streets of Sweetwater, one of the fastest-growing suburban micro-cities in Miami-Dade.

Treat your taste buds to wraps, bowls, smoothies, and dairy-free delights that celebrate creativity and zero animal cruelty, as you explore the best vegan-friendly spots spread throughout Sweetwater, a compact but energetic community that proudly embodies heritage, resilience, and modest mid-century streets dotted with aging stucco homes, compact apartment buildings, and local shops.

Founded by Nicaraguan immigrants and enriched by its strong university presence, Sweetwater blends tradition, youth, and movement in a 0.84-square-mile sliver just west of FIU, where you'll find familiar mom-and-pop restaurants, family businesses, student-filled cafés, and the ever-busy Dolphin Mall — all wrapped in a warm, community-first atmosphere.

Here, you'll find an eclectic mix of dining options influenced by Latin American flavors, Asian comfort staples, global fast-casual concepts, and smoothie spots that double as wellness hubs, making plant-based eating surprisingly easy, flexible, and accessible.

And guess what? We've rounded up the spots you shouldn't miss.

Here are the top five vegan restaurants in Sweetwater.

1) Smoothie Spot Sweetwater

1850 NW 117th Pl, Suite 303, Sweetwater, FL 33182

Craving something cold and refreshing under the Sweetwater sun?

Turn that quench quest into a hearty plant-based meal as this well-loved Sweetwater smoothie hub offers far more than the usual fruit blends on ice.

Welcome to Smoothie Spot, Sweetwater's go-to for feel-good sips and bites, featuring a massive selection of bowls, wraps, and drinks that can easily fit into a vegan diet without sacrificing flavor or fullness.

Their menu encourages customization, which is why vegans love it. 

Here, you can stack a bowl with brown rice or quinoa, roasted vegetables, black beans, avocado, fresh greens, and plant-based toppings; order a wrap packed with hummus, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, and grains; or dive into smoothie bowls topped with berries, peanut butter, chia seeds, granola, and banana — all free of dairy when you choose almond milk or water as your base.

Smoothies are naturally vegan-friendly, too—skip honey and choose a blend from its tropical mixes, berry combos, protein-heavy fruit shakes with plant-based protein powder, or detox greens for something light. 

And if you need a caffeine kick, Smoothie Spot also serves coffees and blended iced drinks that can be made dairy-free on request.

Fast, flexible, and refreshingly plant-forward, Smoothie Spot guarantees a vegan meal that's bright, fresh, and surprisingly filling — whether you're just walking in for a smoothie or staying for a full bowl.

2) Vegan and Juice

10887 NW 17th St #112, Doral, FL 33172

Introduce your taste buds to the thrill of plant-based comfort food at Vegan and Juice, a local cafeteria serving bold, flavorful, and entirely guilt-free Latin classics in vegan form.

Here, you'll find a rotating menu spotlighting daily Latin dishes, fresh-pressed juices, and hearty vegetarian and vegan plates for the seasoned plant-based and veg-curious, turning traditional flavors into something vegan without losing the soul of the cuisine.

Expect a spread that changes often but always hits, including classics such as vegan arepas, loaded empanadas, bean-stuffed wraps, yuca dishes, plantain sides, grain bowls topped with veggies and sauces, house soups, and fresh fruit smoothies made without dairy. 

They also offer vegan pastries and desserts, which is a BIG W if you like ending your meal on a sweet note.

Everything is cooked with intention and packed with Latin spices, giving you that home-cooked feeling without any animal products sneaking in.

3) Good Chef Restaurant

113 SW 107th Ave, Miami, FL 33174

Finding a spot that satisfies everyone at the table — vegans included — is surprisingly easy in Sweetwater, especially with Good Chef Restaurant right in the neighborhood.

While known for its comfort-style Asian dishes, Good Chef also gives plant-based diners room to customize, thanks to a menu that includes vegetable-only versions of several plates, rice bowls, and stir-fried options. 

If you're someone who appreciates flexible kitchens, this one is a solid match.

We're talking about all-time favorites, such as their Veggie Fried Rice and Vegetable Noodle Bowls, that can be made plant-based by request, swapping animal proteins for extra vegetables or tofu (when available). 

You can also order many of their stir-fry options without egg, and the kitchen is usually accommodating when you request a dish to be cooked vegan. 

For something lighter, you can pair steamed vegetables, plain rice, or sautéed greens with their vegetable sides to create a simple vegan plate.

Good Chef is a dependable choice for mixed groups, so you can let your plant-based friends tag along without the stress of limited options.

Fantastic chefs, delicious flavors, never-ending options—what more could you ask for?

4) Pieology Pizzeria Miami

10141 W Flagler St Ste. 150, Miami, FL 33172

Pizza and PJs on a cozy Saturday night?

Yes, you can, thanks to Pieology Pizzeria Miami, a vegan-friendly pizzeria, just 5 minutes from Sweetwater.

Offering a fast-casual, build-your-own pizza experience, Pieology allows vegans to take control of their meal, from crust to toppings. 

Here, you'll find dedicated vegan ingredients, including a vegan cauliflower crust, a gluten-free crust that can be veganized, Daiya mozzarella, and multiple vegetable toppings that let you stack your pizza the way you like it.

Build your dream pizza starting with the cauliflower crust, red sauce, BBQ sauce, or olive oil (all vegan-friendly), and get ready to pile on roasted veggies, fresh greens, mushrooms, sweet peppers, jalapeños, pineapple, black olives, basil, and more. 

Go light or heavy on the vegan cheese depending on your style—you have free rein!

Pieology also offers create-your-own vegan salads, where you can combine leafy greens with beans, grains, vegetables, and plant-based dressings for a lighter meal that still slaps.

5) 107 Taste Asian Restaurant FIU

1679 SW 107th Ave, Miami, FL 33165

Rekindle your love for Asian flavors on a plant-based diet at 107 Taste, a paradise of various Asian cuisines near Sweetwater, just 7 minutes away.

Instead of relying on a single "vegetarian section," 107 Taste builds vegan flexibility right into its menu, offering dishes from different corners of Asia — noodle stir-fries, rice meals, ramen bowls, dim sum–style bites, and boba drinks — many of which can be made fully plant-based with a simple request.

Think tofu-packed miso ramen, veggie yaki udon, stir-fried Singapore-style noodles, crispy vegetable spring rolls, taro bao, sautéed bok choy, and customizable rice bowls that skip meat entirely. 

Even the drink list — fruit teas, boba options, sparkling juices, and hot teas — stays friendly to plant-based diners.

The best part? You never feel like you're settling, as 107 Taste keeps the flavors bold, portions uber-generous, and the selection extensive, so every visit feels brand-new and exciting!

You'll never go hungry on this side of town, that's for sure!
