About

Bar: Beer & wine

Anyone craving soul food that's actually good for you will find a home at Souley Vegan. This 100% vegan joint in Oakland serves Louisiana Creole home cooking crafted from scratch by owner Tamearra Dyson, a proud Bay Area native who's been featured on Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay (she won) and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. USA TODAY voted it one of the top ten restaurants in the country.

Don't let the vegan label fool you—regulars include plenty of meat eaters who leave shocked and satisfied. The vibe is casual, with outdoor seating available. They serve beer and wine only, and the hours vary: closed some weekdays but open Friday through Sunday. The place stays clean despite simple decor, and the staff is friendly. It's a great spot for Sunday brunch or a quick bite, and you'll likely see a diverse crowd of locals and curious newcomers alike.

Located in Oakland near 3rd St, you'll find a welcoming spot among the city's diverse dining scene.

From the community

“Amazingly good vegan food”

The food is fantastic and the employees are incredibly kind. The decor could use some improvement, but once your meal arrives, you stop noticing. Souley Vegan has consistently been clean and well-maintained. I've visited many times and bring every friend I can. You'll be amazed at how tasty the dishes are. As a vegan, this is one of my top spots.
