OUR MISSION

Hi hello! I'm Stacie — owner + chef at Veg.Edible. Every single thing my partner Matt and I create is vegan, gluten-free and nut-free (contains coconut) with soy-free options available. I believe that everyone should be able to enjoy fresh, flavorful food regardless of allergies or dietary preferences. You deserve to know what is in your food.
Ingredient transparency is so important to us. 

Our mission is to encourage everyone to embrace the flavors of plant-based food — whether you've been vegan since the 90's or you're plant-curious, our food is scratch-made with high quality ingredients and inclusive intention.
You won't find allergen friendly food this satisfying anywhere else.

You do not have to have any food allergies or restrictions to dine here — it's just good food.
Born and raised in South Omaha, I have been in the food service industry for 15 years. I am very familiar with all of the incredible food options my city is spoiled with. If you're from around here, I've probably served you at some point. The food service industry has always been my passion. I've hustled every position from busser to host, server to bartender and managed multiple locations of corporate chains and local staples. I know my way around a kitchen and I'm finding my way to your heart with my meals + munchies.

Although I love my city, I found that Omaha does not have many options when it comes to vegan AND gluten-free. Cross-contact is almost always an issue. General knowledge of ingredients and preparation protocol is usually not thoroughly taught to wait staff. I know how it feels to ask a million questions when ordering take out to ensure you don't make yourself sick or violate your personal choices and beliefs.
 
I love feeding people and created Veg.Edible to spread awareness about allergen friendly options and that safe food handling should be taken seriously. 
I have been vegan for 7 years. I am not diagnosed with a nut allergy or gluten intolerance. Gluten just doesn't make me feel great so I try to eliminate it or face the consequences. Most vegan substitutes are nut based so I decided to go the extra mile and eliminate nuts in our kitchen space to cater to those with peanut/tree nut allergies as well.

I chose to go vegan in December of 2017 on a flight back from San Diego. My fling at the time had gone vegan about 6 months prior to this trip and I thought it was the weirdest thing. I accidentally ate vegan the whole time we were in San Diego and loved it! On the flight home, I watched “What the Health” which is a documentary directed by Kip Anderson - same director of Cowspiracy and Seaspiracy which I highly recommend watching. These documentaries are about the link between diet, disease, dollars and everything in between they don’t want the general public to know. I was intrigued by a story in this documentary from a woman with chronic asthma.  She was on 18 different medications just to be able to breathe and by changing her diet to a plant based diet it allowed her to heal and get off most of her medication. This hit home with me since I was diagnosed with chronic asthma in 6th grade. I was taking 4 different costly medications for my asthma at the time without health insurance. Initially I went vegan for my health but quickly learned about the treatment of animals, especially in factory farming and the impact it has on the earth.

I am vegan for my health, for the animals, for the planet and for our future.

I can't wait to feed you <3

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy fresh, flavorful food regardless of allergies or dietary preferences.

Is everything vegan?

Everything we create is 100% vegan. Ingredients do not contain any animal products or byproducts such as: meat, dairy, lactose, whey, fish, shellfish, egg, honey or gelatin. Our sugar is free of bone char. We use common spellings for "bacon" and "cheese" but don't be fooled, it's all plants!

Is everything gluten-free?

Everything we create is gluten-free. Yes, all of it. We do not make anything that ISN'T GF. We do not use gluten or 'may contain wheat' in any ingredient. All of our equipment is dedicated gluten-free.

Does anything contain nuts?

No peanuts or tree nuts (except coconut) here. We DO use coconut in almost every recipe and occasionally use sesame.

Do you have soy-free options?

We do use soy in our kitchen but always have soy-free options that are clearly marked. Our dedicated fryer has a soy-free basket. We use canola oil and always watch out for soy lecithin. ALL baked goods are soy-free!

Can I walk in and order?

Absolutely! We take orders at the counter that typically take ~20 minutes to prepare. We have 3 small tables in our waiting area.

The pastry case is stocked everyday with cake slices, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, donuts, bars and other treats for walk-in purchase. We accept cash, card, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Where do I park?
