Discover the latest vegan food news, from giant Easter eggs and spicy snack dupes to new product launches and a unique vegan hot dog spot
With the news of Lindt’s oat milk truffles being discontinued (cue the tiny violin), now is the perfect time to stock up for one last truffle-filled Easter. But it’s not all bad news—Hotel Chocolat is stepping in with the launch of an indulgent vegan treat.
Plus, there’s plenty more to get excited about: a convincing Cheetos dupe, innovative new sweet treats, and even a brand-new vegan hot dog spot in California. Let’s dive in.
Lindt’s oat milk truffles are about to be discontinued
In 2023, to the delight of dairy-free chocolate lovers, Lindt launched its iconic Lindor truffles in a new oat milk variety. At the time, the Swiss chocolatier described them as “delectable delights” and “the perfect indulgent treat.” Unfortunately, they won’t be around forever. Lindt recently revealed the truffles will be discontinued in the future.
The silver lining? There’s no confirmed end date yet—so if you spot them in stores, it’s worth stocking up while you can. It won’t be long before they disappear for good. And don’t worry, the oat milk bars aren’t going anywhere.

New snack from Takis is a vegan dupe for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
Takis has dropped a new snack: Pix. And according to early reviews, the puffed bites taste strikingly similar to Cheetos. In fact, Sporked called them “the closest thing to a Cheetos knock-off we’ll probably ever get.”
Pix is launching with two flavours: Cheezy Blast and Fuego. While Cheezy Blast contains milk, Fuego is vegan-friendly. One reviewer for Delish even said they taste just like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Intrigued? You can taste test them for yourself, as they’re already hitting shelves at Walmart, Ralphs, and more.

Joolies’ Date Sours will level up your snack game
Dates are one of the healthiest snacks around—they’re packed with fibre, essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also boast a naturally sweet, caramel-like flavour that almost feels too good to be true.
While dates are already delicious on their own, Joolies believes they have even more potential. That’s why the brand, which specializes in date snacks, launched Date Sours. They keep the classic sweetness and chewy texture of traditional dates but add a tangy twist with flavours like Blue Raspberry, Peachy, Watermelon, and Cherry Cola.
“We’re taking an age-old fruit people already trust and seasoning it with a little Joolies magic to give it cultural relevance—without losing what makes it a date,” said Amanda Sains-Harris, VP of Marketing at Joolies.
If you’re keen to try them, Date Sours are set to hit Sprouts Farmers Markets this May.

Oakland’s famed vegan coffee shop turns into a weekday hot dog spot
What do you usually pair with your coffee—a croissant, maybe a slice of toast? Or perhaps … a hot dog?
Oakland’s popular vegan café, Timeless Coffee, is shaking things up with a new venture called Webster’s Wieners. Every weekday from 11am to 2pm, the downtown spot is serving up Vegan Big Franks Hot Dogs, topped with house-made Violife cheese sauce.
If you’re in the mood for a combo, there are a couple of options: grab a meal and soda for $10.25, or go all in with a specialty drink combo for $15.50, which includes a house-made cookie and a crafted bar drink.

Wales is getting its first-ever vegan hotel
If Wales wasn’t already on your Euro summer bucket list, consider this your sign to add it. The team behind England’s first fully vegan hotel, Beck Hall, is set to open a brand-new retreat: Ffarm Hall, launching this spring.
The countryside hotel will feature 14 ensuite rooms—charmingly dubbed “snuggeries.” Guests can expect hearty Sunday roasts, indulgent afternoon teas, and generous breakfast feasts. Rustic vibes, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of history woven into the experience are also guaranteed.
“Our hope is to create the same warm, welcoming atmosphere many of you know from Beck Hall, with delicious plant-based food, cosy places to unwind, and nature all around,” founders Andy and Louise Macbeth shared.
