The numbers don’t lie. From January to May 2025, Sauce Tree crunched the receipts, and the average number of people dining together was only 1.68 per receipt. It got us thinking: is vegan dining together a rare occurrence?

It’s a bit of a funny thought. Imagine walking into a cozy café, greeted with a warm smile from the staff, and a feeling of kindness in the air. You’re ready to dive into a plate of your favorite vegan comfort food, but then it hits you—you’re dining alone. It’s not exactly a sad scene, but it makes you wonder: Is it hard to bring a friend along for a meal? We are, after all, social creatures, designed to share our experiences with others. So, why is it that the numbers seem to suggest otherwise?

Of course, the data is a bit unexpected. But let’s take a step back and consider the bigger picture. Is it really veganism that’s causing solo meals, or is it a reflection of our modern lifestyles? We live in a world where dining solo has become a more common occurrence. People are busier than ever, juggling work and life, and often, grabbing a quick bite to eat on their own seems to be the easiest option.

But at Sauce Tree, we believe vegan food should be shared. Our plant-based comfort food is all about enjoyment—togetherness, even. So, when we look at the numbers, instead of seeing a lonely picture, we choose to see an opportunity for connection. Because here’s the thing: whether you’re dining solo or with a friend, plant base food is about bringing people together. Vegan dining together isn’t just about food; it’s about connecting with others. At Sauce Tree, we want to make sure that vegan food isn’t just for solo meals but shared experiences.

Actually here is where Sauce Tree really shines. Our menu of bold, comforting flavors is perfect for bringing both vegans and non-vegans together. Our food isn’t just for people who follow a plant-based diet. It’s for everyone. So, if you’re a non-vegan wondering where to take your vegan friend, why not think about Sauce Tree? Whether you’re craving a hearty vegan burger or a delicious wrap, our food offers a twist—familiar comfort food, but with a plant-based twist. Even your non-vegan friends will love it, and they can enjoy the same meal while entertaining their vegan companion. It’s the best of both worlds.

For the non-vegan, dining at Sauce Tree can feel like a refreshing change. You’re not compromising on flavor, and you’re making sure your vegan friend has a great meal, too. We’re all about making vegan dining accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of what side of the dietary spectrum they fall on.

Let’s be clear: veganism isn’t about isolation—it’s about connection. At Sauce Tree, we’re proud to be part of a movement that’s making a difference. Every time someone dines with us, they’re supporting a cause that’s bigger than just the meal on their plate. Whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or with family, the act of choosing plant-based food is an empowering one. It’s a sign that we care about our health, the planet, and the animals we share this world with.

And hey, let’s be real. Veganism isn’t just about food—it’s about changing the way we think about the world. It’s a journey toward a kinder, more compassionate future, and we’re all in this together. So while the numbers may suggest a solitary trend, they also reflect the growth of a community that’s united by values and shared experiences. The future of veganism isn’t about eating alone—it’s about bringing more people into the fold, and making sure that everyone feels welcome.

So, here’s our challenge: the next time you’re planning to visit Sauce Tree, bring someone along! Whether they’re vegan or not, they’ll enjoy the food, and they’ll get a taste of what makes vegan dining so special. It’s not just about eating—it’s about sharing. Let’s break down those barriers and build a community where everyone feels welcome, no matter their dietary choices.

The future of vegan dining is bright, and it’s even brighter when we share it with others.

Togetherness, flavor, and kindness—that’s what being vegan is all about.
