CELESTIAL CAFE, EXETER VIBE: This is South County’ s hot spot for plant-based devotees, as almost any menu item can be modified to meatless upon request. ON THE MENU: Some of the top veg dishes include the crispy eggplant Parmesan and the black bean burger. There’ s always some kind of seasonal special to mix it up using what’ s locally available from area farms and fisheries. The cafe also works with local growers and merchants to put together monthly five-course farm dinners that can be adapted for plant-based eaters. celestialcaferi. com
PLANT CITY, WARWICK AND BARRINGTON VIBE: From baked goods to grab-and-go options, this eatery covers every non-plant-based craving with its veggie equivalent. ON THE MENU: You won’ t miss the meat after experiencing dishes like the breakfast wrap with tofu scramble, quinoa arugula salad with maple mustard dressing and BLT with shiitake bacon, lettuce, tomato and green goddess aioli on sourdough.
