Bushwick has become a haven for plant-based foodies, with an explosion of creative vegan eateries popping up in recent years. As a long-time resident and vegan food enthusiast, I've scoured the neighborhood to bring you the absolute best spots for a cruelty-free brunch.
What makes a great vegan brunch? For me, it's about innovative dishes that make you forget they're plant-based, cozy atmospheres perfect for weekend lingering, and of course, strong coffee (with oat milk, naturally). These five spots deliver on all fronts.
Scroll down to discover my top picks, complete with must-try dishes, location details, and what makes each spot special.

Bushwick's vegan brunch scene is thriving, offering everything from classic American diner fare to innovative global cuisine. Whether you're a longtime vegan or just looking to try something new, these spots prove that plant-based eating is anything but boring.
My personal recommendation? Start with Modern Love for an unforgettable first experience, then work your way through the list. Each spot offers something unique, and they're all within a 15-minute walk or short bike ride from each other.
Most of these places get crowded on weekends between 11am-2pm. Arrive early or be prepared to wait - it's worth it! Many offer coffee while you wait.
