Topping the list is The Red Hook. Located at 8025 Agnes St. in West Village, the vegetarian and New American spot, which also offers coffee, tea and more, is the highest-rated inexpensive vegetarian restaurant in Detroit, boasting 4.5 stars out of 76 reviews on Yelp. 

Taila R. noted, "I typically drink vanilla lattes with some sort of milk substitute. Although they don't offer vanilla flavoring at this shop, they did have lavender flavoring, and there were quite a few choices for milk substitutes: almond, soy and coconut. I also tried the chocolate zucchini bread and really enjoyed that as well. I think it's important to note that this shop offers plenty of vegan options!"

Yelper Breana J. wrote, "I've had the peppermint mocha latte twice (seasonal) and have gotten a vegan/GF banana chocolate chip muffin every time, and it's delicious! A lot of their food options are vegan and gluten-free and feel somewhat healthy, which is perfect for the new year! I love this little place and am so happy I stumbled upon it!"

2. Harmony Garden Cafe

Yelper Dave W. wrote, "Fresh salads with a huge selection of vegetables and other toppings. Their soups are amazing - huge variety, unique flavors...and they are all great. The guys working here are also super friendly!"
