LA's plant-based map runs on bakery sugar and ramen, with Cake Girl, Bakers Bench, and Donut Friend - Highland Park leading the dessert lane and 18 ramen-friendly kitchens backing the savory side. Maciel's Plant-Based Butcher & Deli covers the deli-counter side, and the real depth sits in the 10-deep American and Mexican lineups rather than the 5-place breakfast burrito count.
