As families become more conscious of dietary preferences and restrictions, finding suitable dining options can be a challenge. Thankfully, Roanoke’s vibrant food truck scene offers an array of menus catering to various dietary accommodations. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or looking for kosher options, these food trucks have something special for everyone.
Vegetarian Delights
Pink Lemonade and Kind Brew Coffee Co. are fantastic options for vegetarians. These trucks prioritize plant-based ingredients, ensuring a variety of delicious and wholesome vegetarian meals. Additionally, Kefi - Greek Food with a Passion offers delightful vegetarian options, bringing Mediterranean flavors to the streets of Roanoke.
Kosher and Dairy-Free Treats
Kind Brew Coffee Co. proudly offers kosher strawberry banana smoothies. For those with dairy intolerance, they have almond milk and dairy-free coconut milk whipped cream. If you need a caffeine-free option, their dandelion and chicory tea latte is a must-try.
Gluten-Free Goodies
Petals & Sugar specializes in gluten-free treats like macarons, meringues, and pavlova. They also create dairy-free buttercream fillings for their macarons. For those seeking vegan options, they offer a range of vegan baked goods, including muffins and cakes, and can customize almost any dessert to be vegan or gluten-free. However, it's important to note that their kitchen is not entirely gluten-free, so their products are suitable for those sensitive to gluten but not for those with severe gluten allergies.
Driftwood Catering-Floyd, VA and Copper Dog and Co. both offer gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, making them excellent choices for families with diverse dietary needs. Bread Run Roanoke provides gluten-sensitive offerings made with gluten-free ingredients, though they operate in a kitchen that contains gluten, so their products are best for those with gluten sensitivity rather than celiac disease.
A Heavenly Sandwich takes it a step further by ensuring all their vegetable options are alpha-gal friendly, catering to those with this specific dietary restriction. Delicia's Gourmet Ice, whose motto is "We Create Smiles", offers treats that are dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free, ensuring a delightful experience for everyone.
Vegan Options
Queen's Vegan Cafe is a haven for vegans, offering an all-vegan menu. From savory dishes to sweet treats, this food truck ensures that vegans have a plethora of delicious options to choose from.
Sugar-Free Options
The Local Lemon offers a refreshing alternative for those looking to reduce sugar intake. They use stevia in their lemonades for a delicious, sugar-free option that doesn’t compromise on taste.
