Great place and a view of the water - Edit
Great spot for a good coffee and food. We tried some of the crunch wraps which were tasty. I found them to be a little oily for the morning but that may just be me. If it had been less oily and heavy, I'd give this place 5 stars. The wraps keep well though for take out! They also had desserts that I'll have to have next time

This place was wonderful! - Edit
Really liked that they have healthy options and more indulgent options (including a healthier spin on a crunchwrap). I got the bea-you-tiful bowl and the breffass sammy and both were great! Very scenic by a nice river with rapids as well. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious! - Edit
A great vibe, plenty of space inside, and of course wonderful food! Burgers and nuggets were heavenly. Even though we were full we just had to try cookies and milkshakes too. 10/10 delicious!

Comfort food - Edit
I love Pingalas, it’s one of the only entirely vegan places in Vermont. They used to have eggplant bacon, which was awesome now they do a smoky carrot which is really good but I think my favorite is the mac & cheese crunch wrap. It’s just fun and good not probably the healthiest but it’s good.

Go to for vegan eats - Edit
I love that this is 100% vegan. Having moved from Portland, OR, with over 50 vegan eateries, Burlington has been a bit of a challenge for veg eating. They are in desperate need of more fine dining and specialty vegan eats here, but this food truck vibe is great to have. I don't have to put any more thought into the menu than how to choose from all the great options! I've eaten here twice already, and staff has consistently been wonderful, as has the food. Those crunchwraps are perfect! It's actually a good thing this place (both locations) is over 15 minutes from my house, otherwise I'd be eating there every day.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan, Scratch made, Super tasty desserts
Cons: Could use more seating

Rare vegan restaurant in Burlington! - Edit
Pingala is a staple of the vegan VT scene! I have eaten there many times, and I’ve enjoyed items like the brunchwrap supreme, the burgers and the Buffalo Mac Crunchwrap. Great walkable location near a lot of fun spots in Winooski.

Our first time and I hope it won't be our last - Yum! - Edit
On November 3rd my husband and I visited Pingala and we loved it! We are so thankful to Happy Cow for helping us find vegan restaurants like this, especially when we are traveling. The food and smoothies were wonderful as was the vibe in the restaurant as well as the staff. If we were local, we would certainly be regulars.

LOVE this place, including for a personalized BIRTHDAY CAKE - Edit
Love this place for food - it's deliciously decadent, not to be missed. Recently ordered a 1/2-sheet cake for my boyfriend's 60th birthday bash - it was AMAZING, totally sinfully sweet (but not too sweet!) I had asked for a cake that non-vegans would love, and not even know that it was vegan, and that's exactly what we got - a professionally-decorated masterpiece of a cake, we had 40 people at the party but it would have easily served up to 50, it was fantastic, vanilla cake with a berry filling and buttercream frosting (vegan of course). I have another birthday celebration coming up and will definitely be ordering another one of these cakes again. It was easy and smooth communicating with the baker.
Read morePros: High quality, Delicious, Birthday cake ordering is GREAT

Best takeout near BTV - Edit
Our favorite vegan spot in the Burlington area. Ideal for takeout as the restaurant is small. Our favorites are the crunch wrap and fresh spring rolls. Also, great coffee and tea drinks!
