The Herbivorous Butcher 507 1st Avenue Northeast, Minneapolis, MN 55413

"I first went to herbivorous butcher on a business trip to Minneapolis - maybe 8 years ago. Well fast forward and we are still ordering online from them years later since we don’t live in Minnesota. My husband adores the pastrami! As a long time vegan of 28 years, I have tried many faux meats and cheeses and I think they do an exemplary job. They are super creative people with a vision. I don’t know how they have the time to do everything they do- start a vegan butcher shop; start a farm sanctuary; write a cookbook; open more vegan restaurants… just wow!"

"The best vegan deli in the country. Amazing meats, cheeses, and of course, sandwiches, including a killer breakfast sandwich. Try it with Abuelita Guille hot sauce, which they sell there!"

"We loved it! I was a bit hesitant because I don't generaly like vegan cheeses and meats I tried from the grocery stores, but these were great. Turkey dill havarti sandwhich was excellent! We tried beef sticks, a bit spicy but tasty. And mozzarela and smoked gouda were WOW. Neither had that fake cheese flavor but were tasty and moorish, excellent texture, would be great on it's own on vegan charcuterie boards. Can't wait to try it on a pizza!"

"Traveling through the Twin Cities we stopped by to see what a vegan butcher could offer. We got breakfast sandwiches to go. Delicious! Also, a smoked Gouda cheese and beer brats to enjoy when we got home from our road trip. The cheese was fantastic. One of the best non dairy cheeses we have had. I enjoyed the brats, they were spicy with a great texture. A touch on the salty side, if your sensitive. I look forward to visiting Minneapolis again and checking out what else is in the deli counter."

"I had their vegan version of an Italian Sandwich. It was interesting but not delicious. Staff are great. This place has some good ideas. I'm willing to try other items on menu"
