Lucky Lemon Bakery
Kokomo’s most notable vegan cafe and bakery is a safe bet for all things vegetarian. While it isn’t specifically a “burger,” we love the cafe’s Fried Chick’un Sandwich, a crispy, crunchy sandwich that pairs perfectly with the vegan ranch dressing and hot sauce. Pro tip? If you see the Chick’un and Waffles on the menu, you won’t ever regret that choice.
