Vegan Food Near BU

Mexican * Tacos * Burritos * $

The most clutch 3am food on campus. Free tacos during hockey season is unbeatable. Not authentic Mexican, but perfect drunk food when you need it most.

Halal * Mediterranean * Middle Eastern * Street Food * $

The ONLY halal-certified restaurant ON campus - a game-changer for Muslim students. NYC street cart vibes in the GSU. Finally, no more trekking to Allston between classes for halal food!

Vietnamese * Pho * Banh Mi * $

Best pho in the BU area, hands down. The banh mi puts Subway to shame for half the price. Perfect for when you're sick, hungover, or just cold (so basically October through April).

Mexican * Tex-Mex * Tacos * $$

The best tacos and margaritas in the area. Worth the trek to Allston. Perfect for a nicer night out without downtown prices. Warning: the margaritas will destroy you.

Chinese * Taiwanese * Szechuan * Dumplings * $

Legit Chinese food that's open until 2am. The soup dumplings are a must. When you want actual good food after midnight, not just drunk food, this is the spot.

American * French * Upscale * $$$

The nicest restaurant near campus. Save it for when parents visit or something actually worth celebrating. Closed during COVID but came back in 2023, better than ever.

American * Burgers * Fast Casual * $

The best burger near Fenway. The Big Tasty lives up to its name. Perfect before a Sox game. The pool tables make it a fun hangout spot.

American * Gastropub * Bar Food * $$

$2 oyster Tuesdays alone make this worth knowing. Great gastropub with games and good vibes. A step up from typical college bars without being pretentious.

Coffee * Cafe * Sandwiches * $$

The best coffee near campus. More expensive than Starbucks but way better quality. Good for studying if you can actually get a seat - which is a big if during finals.

Bakery * Cafe * Mediterranean * Brunch * $$

The prettiest cafe near campus. Shakshuka is genuinely life-changing. Perfect for impressing someone or treating yourself when you need to feel like your life is together.

Bakery * Cafe * American * Brunch * $$

The sticky bun is LEGENDARY. Everything else is also really good. A bit of a trek from campus but worth it for special occasions or when you need to treat yourself.

Dessert * Cookies * Late Night * $

Warm cookies delivered at 2am. What more do you need to know? This is therapy in cookie form. A BU late night essential.

Japanese * Hot Pot * Asian * $$
