Since hitting shelves in May, Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger has been wowing meat eaters left and right. It looks like a beef burger, it bleeds like a beef burger, and according to all accounts — it tastes like a beef burger.

And now, Whole Foods Boulder is serving up the popular new patties at an all-vegan burger and milkshake bar. The on-site eatery, launched this summer, features vegan burgers, chicken and fish sandwiches … even tater tots.

The spot is styled like Shake Shack or In-N-Out, and serves the Beyond Burger as a single ($8.99) or double ($10.99). Also on the menu are Gardein Chick’n Tenders with Ninja Squirrel Sriracha Ranch Sauce ($6.99); a Southern Chick’n Sandwich with Gardein tenders, Field Roast cheese, and the Sriracha sauce ($7.99); and a Fillet Ah Fishless sammie with Gardein fishless fillets ($7.99).

Side options include sweet potato hushpuppies, hand-cut French fries, vanilla shakes made with coconut milk, and more.

“We love when we can offer shoppers delicious, high quality options that meet their dietary preferences, but still offer all the enjoyment and fun of conventional dishes,” says Whole Foods spokesperson McKinzey Crossland.

“Whole Foods Market is all about sharing the love and joy of food, and we want to do that with dishes that are delicious as well as healthy,” she adds. “The burger bar is a perfect example. Whether vegans want to satisfy a craving for a serious burger, or whether carnivores are trying to lighten up their meal, we think this venue really appeals to everyone. Because it’s delicious!”

It’s worth noting that the store also just launched a vegan breakfast menu, served all day. It includes items like lemon pancakes; omelets; a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich; a breakfast burrito; and more.

Looks like Boulder is the ultimate place to be a plant-based eater.
