Nominees
Om Cafe
23136 Woodward
Ferndale, MI 48220The philosophy of Om Café incorporates the desire to prepare food that “works as vibrant medicine for the spirit.” So perhaps it’s no surprise that Om is a vegetarian and macrobiotic restaurant, specializing in steamed vegetables, pita pizzas and an impressive array of salads.
Seva Restaurant
314 E. Liberty
Ann Arbor, MI 48104Neighborhood: Downtown Ann Arbor
In an eclectic area like Ann Arbor, it's not surprising to find an all vegetarian/vegan restaurant with so many local regulars. Even meat-lovers have tried and raved about Seva's fresh, inventive dishes, which range from Italian to Mexican cuisine. The restaurant features a full bar and a comprehensive juice bar. Everything at Seva's may be a specialty item, but the all-around favorite seems to be Yam fries. Stop in at the corner of Liberty and Fifth and give 'em a try or visit their new Detroit location!
Cacao Tree Cafe
204 W. Fourth
Royal Oak, MI 48067Neighborhood: Downtown Royal Oak
Cacao Tree Cafe is tiny, but its freshness and big flavors have won fans for owner Amber Poupore's raw, vegan, organic foods and smoothies.
Last year's winner
Om Cafe

Ferndale, MI 48220Just a few sprouts separated the top two contenders in this category with Om Café taking top honors over Inn Season Café.
