Cheesecake Factory Vegan Menu Options

The Cheesecake Factory is a huge chain with a diverse menu (that literally goes on for pages and pages!). The menu is big enough that almost everyone can find something to eat there that suits their needs. I contacted their corporate office to find out which menu items will suit the needs of those following a vegan diet. While they don’t have a specialized vegan menu (or a vegan cheesecake, unfortunately!), there are many menu items that are (or can be modified to be) vegan. I have included a list of those items below.

Vegan Menu Options at the Cheesecake Factory
Edamame
Guacamole – can be ordered with celery sticks instead of chips if you are concerned with cross contamination.
Tossed Green Salad and Mini Tossed Green Salad – no croutons
Fresh Vegetable Salad, ordered without cheese, is a guest favorite!
Some of their Specialty Salads can be prepared vegan (please ask)
Vegan Cobb Salad
Pastas: Angel Hair, Penne, Bow Tie and Spaghettini noodles do not contain eggs. When ordering, please tell your server you would like NO cheese.
Marinara Sauce is vegan, however does contain granulated sugar if that is a concern.
Their pizza dough is egg free, so ordering the Roasted Vegetable Pizza without cheese would make the pizza vegan.
Veggie Burger – ordered without the cheese, sauces, or bun to become vegan. Feel free to order your burger wrapped in lettuce if you would like.
Sides of Veggies and Sides of white or brown rice – Please tell your server you would like your veggies with NO butter or margarine.
Their three vegan bread options are their sandwich Sourdough & Wheat, and Rustic Batard
The following dressings are vegan friendly (do not contain egg or honey): Chinese, Lime Vinaigrette, Peanut Vinaigrette, Shallot Vinaigrette, Sheila’s Vinaigrette
Most importantly, please speak with a manager during your visit. They will be happy to provide you with additional meal options and monitor the preparation of your meal to ensure your satisfaction.

  • There are enzymes in the Cheesecake Factory's brown bread (It says that on their brown bread that is now sold in stores.) Do you know if these are animal enzymes?
