Houlden’s Rise Above
Locations: Cafes across Tucson and a brick-and-mortar at 5031 E. Fifth St.
Hannah Houlden’s “little vegan spite bakery” started as a cottage operation out of her home. She now delivers her vegan baked goods — flaky chocolate croissants, pop-tarts with flair, turnovers with flavors from olive, dill and lemon to red pepper za’atar — to several local cafes, and has a brick-and-mortar in midtown.
Taco Stop
Location: 10290 E. Speedway
Their jackfruit birria is so good, vegans and carnivores alike will make the trek to food truck Taco Stop to satisfy their craving.
Honorable mentions: Nopalinda, Midtown Vegan Deli, El Torero’s vegan menu, and the vegan options at Renee’s.
