Weaver Street Co-op - Chapel Hill

There are many options available at the hot bar/buffet, but unfortunately, not for vegans. It seemed that the salad bar was the only vegan-friendly choice. The potatoes were prepared with butter, and the vegetables were drenched in cream. I was disappointed, but I moved on and ended up buying a loaf of delicious fresh bread and some hummus. The co-op has great prices on vegetables and hard-to-find items, so I would consider shopping for groceries here. However, if I’m craving hot, freshly made vegan cuisine, I’ll have to look elsewhere.

We discovered this while staying at Hyatt Place hotel -its an easy walk and has good vegan options

Weaver Street also has an extensive selection of wine and beer, along with locally brewed coffee. The hot and cold bars for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are exceptional and very accommodating for vegans. For breakfast, you can enjoy a remarkable tofu scramble, the best hash browns I’ve ever tasted, and delicious vegan oatmeal—all for under $5! The lunch and dinner salad bar is massive, featuring a variety of beans, vegetables, fruits, and excellent vegan dressings. The hot bars consistently offer tasty vegan options alongside meat and dairy dishes. Renowned in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, the bakery features outstanding breads and pastries, and you can always find a few scrumptious vegan cakes and cupcakes. If you find yourself in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, Weaver Street is an absolute must-visit!

I'll buy food here again, but if I'm craving hot, fresh vegan cuisine, I'll look elsewhere.

During our stay at the Hyatt Place, we stumbled upon this restaurant. It's just a short walk away and offers great vegan options.
