Beans & Brews is a coffee house chain that has been around since 1993, when the Laramie family opened next to Salt Lake City’s Liberty Park. It now has locations in Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona.
Answer: there is one item Beans & Brews itself describes as plant-based, and two vegan burrito fillings on the menu board. Beyond that, Beans & Brews publishes no ingredient or allergen information for anything it sells, so nothing else here can be confirmed vegan from an official source. This page previously carried detailed nutrition tables and ingredient breakdowns for items Beans & Brews has never published data for — and for several items it no longer sells at all. All of that has been removed.
Checked against the Beans & Brews menu and its individual item pages, accessed 28 July 2026. There is no nutrition page, no allergen page and no ingredient statement anywhere on beansandbrews.com. The only nutrition-related text on the site is a disclaimer: “Because our food and beverages are handcrafted and may be customized, exact nutritional information may vary.”
The One Thing Beans & Brews Says Itself
Avocado Toast
This is the strongest item on the menu for a vegan, because the claim comes from Beans & Brews rather than from us. Its description reads: “Thick sourdough toast topped with 100% real avocado and everything bagel seasoning. Made with 100% plant-based ingredients.”
One thing to watch: the ordering options for the Avocado Toast include a topping choice of Bacon or None. The plant-based description applies to the toast as built; make sure bacon is not added.
Note also that this page previously described the Avocado Toast as being on wheat bread with poppy seeds, dried garlic, sesame seeds and dried onions, and gave a full nutrition table for it. Beans & Brews publishes none of that. The bread is sourdough per the brand’s current description, and the nutrition figures have been deleted rather than carried forward.
The Vegan Burritos
Beans & Brews sells a single menu item called Burrito, with the flavour chosen at the counter. The flavour options listed are Bacon & Egg, Potato & Egg, Vegan Protein Supreme and Vegan Ranchero. So both burritos this page described do still exist — but as options rather than as separate menu items, and Beans & Brews states plainly that the burrito “flavors vary by location.” Do not assume your store carries the vegan ones.
Beans & Brews describes them only as “vegan.” It publishes no ingredient list for either, so this page’s previous account of a tofu scramble filling, a wheat tortilla, soybean and sunflower oil, and a ranchero salsa of tomatoes, cilantro, onions, chipotle puree and fire-roasted jalapeños was not sourced to the brand. It has been removed, along with the nutrition tables.
What’s Gone Since This Page Was Written
The Meat-Free Burger is gone. There is no B Meat-Free burger, no plant-based patty and no plant-based cheddar on the Beans & Brews menu. This page went into detail about the English muffin base, a coconut-oil-and-pea-protein cheese and a soy protein patty. None of it is on the menu, and none of it was ever published by Beans & Brews.
Kettle Chips are gone. No chips appear on the current menu.
The salads are gone. The current food menu is Avocado Toast, Burrito, Oatmeal, egg bites, bagels, croissants, paninis, a grilled cheese and bakery items. There is no salad.
The Plant Energy Shot figures are gone. Beans & Brews sells energy drinks and describes them as “infused with natural caffeine and elevated with nature’s finest botanicals, super fruits, B vitamins, and amino acids.” It does not publish a caffeine milligram figure or name cascara as the source, so the 80 mg claim this page carried has been deleted. It also does not say whether these drinks are vegan, and they can be served “whipped.”
Drinks
This is the practical reason to go to Beans & Brews as a vegan, and the news is good. The milk options on the drink builder are Regular, Skinny, 1/2 & 1/2, Almond, Coconut, Oat and Soy — four plant milks, one more than this page listed, since oat has been added.
Black coffee, americano, espresso and cold brew ordered without milk are the simplest choices. For anything else, swap the milk and check the topping option, which defaults are set per drink and often include whipped topping.
The caveat is the one that runs through this whole page: Beans & Brews publishes no ingredient information for its syrups, sauces or blended bases. Frappes, mochas and the caramel and créme brûlée drinks are built on sauces and bases whose contents the brand does not disclose, and several are described as containing cream or white chocolate. Swapping the milk does not make those vegan, and this page previously implied it did. If a drink is described as créme, sweet cream, white cocoa, horchata or soft top, that description is the brand’s and it is not a plant-based one.
Oatmeal
Beans & Brews sells custom-milled oatmeal in a dozen flavours, from Just Oats to Vermont Maple, Coconut Almond and Chocolate Cherry. It publishes no ingredient list and no allergen information for any of them, and does not say whether the oatmeal is prepared with water or milk. Several flavours contain nuts. It may well be a good option — but ask what it is made with, because the brand does not say.
Bottom Line
Beans & Brews is a reasonable place to be a vegan for the same reason most coffee chains are: four plant milks and a lot of coffee. On food, it comes down to the Avocado Toast, which the brand itself calls 100% plant-based, and the two vegan burrito fillings, if your location carries them.
Everything else on the menu is undocumented. Beans & Brews does not publish allergens, ingredients or nutrition, and that is the single most useful thing to know before you order. The previous version of this page filled that gap with specifics that had no source; we would rather tell you the gap exists.
