Welcome to I Stronga Vegan Café, a haven for veganized fusion-based cuisines, just 5 minutes from Pinewood.

Run by Chef Avery, I Stronga Vegan Café is an exciting daily adventure for vegans as it swaps menus and spices faster than most places change playlists.

4) The Plantisserie 

7316 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33138

If "home-cooked" and "organic" sound like music to your plant-based ears, you'll feel right at home at The Plantisserie, just 8 minutes from Pinewood.

Part deli, part market, this all-vegan spot guarantees real ingredients and no gimmicks, as it features dishes that are 100% organic and free from GMOs, preservatives, and that other stuff you can't pronounce. 

The result? Fresh, flavorful bites that taste like they were created for you, not mass-produced for the freezer aisle.

While Plantisserie's menu changes daily, you'll usually find an impressive lineup of toasts, empanadas, hearty bowls, hot entrées, and desserts — all made from scratch. 

Many dishes are even sold by the pound, allowing you to mix, match, and walk out with a fridge full of plant-based comfort.

Regulars swear by the pasta-free lasagna and empanadas, but honestly, you can't go wrong at Plantisserie, as everything here feels good for you — even the dessert.

5) Vegan Vibess 

7010 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33138 

Good energy, flavor, and food are the whole mood at Vegan Vibess, just 9 minutes from Pinewood.

No, don't expect "rabbit food"— Vegan Vibess serves plant-based comfort that feels indulgent in the best way, from their loaded tacos and empanadas to crispy cauliflower wings and BBQ "ribz" that tastes too much like the "real" thing to be something made of plants—and that's just a preview. 

Vegan Vibess' menu is a symphony of Caribbean and American flavors, which means you can expect more options, in generous portions, at that! 

Vegan Vibess also gets creativity points for how it reinvents classics — the vegan BLT, for example, hits every salty, smoky note you miss from the original, and the signature smoothies and fresh juices are a perfect pre- or post-meal fix.

Plant-based or not, you'll walk out smiling because these vibess are seriously contagious.
