Looking for Togos vegetarian options? Here’s the full list. Togo’s is a California-born sandwich chain famous for stuffed, made-to-order subs piled “Togo’s Style” with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and pepperoncini. The menu leans hard on cold cuts and hot meats, but what about the vegetarians? This 2026 guide walks through every meat-free option on the current Togo’s menu, the best vegan modifications, the bread and dressing choices that actually work, and the cross-contact issues to watch for.
A Quick Look at Togo’s
Togo’s has a much longer history than most people realize, and it actually starts in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan rather than California. Two Northern Michigan University students named the shop by combining the first two letters of their first names, and the brand has changed hands several times on its way to becoming the West Coast sandwich staple it is today.
- 1964: Tom Neumann and Gordon Reed open the original TOGO’S in Marquette, Michigan. The name combines “TO” from Tom and “GO” from Gordon, reflecting an all-takeout model.
- 1968: Reed opens a second location near San Jose State University in California, where the brand begins its West Coast identity.
- 1971: San Jose State student Mike Cobler buys the San Jose shop and grows it into a franchised chain built on oversized, made-to-order sandwiches.
- 1997: Allied Domecq Quick Service Restaurants acquires Togo’s, briefly co-branding many locations with Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins.
- 2007: Mainsail Partners, with Tony Gioia at the helm, takes the chain back into independent ownership.
- 2015 & 2019: Nîmes Capital acquires Togo’s in 2015, and Southfield Mezzanine Capital takes over in 2019.
- Today: Togo’s is headquartered in Campbell, California, led by CEO Glenn Lunde, with roughly 145 locations concentrated on the West Coast.
Togos vegetarian options: What to Order
The Togo’s menu is meat-forward, but there are still a handful of dedicated vegetarian items, plus several salads and wraps that become vegetarian once you ask the team to leave the protein off. The table below covers the meat-free options on the current 2026 menu and whether they work for vegans with the standard modifications.

| #22 Cheese (triple melted cheddar) | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (dairy) |
| Farmer’s Market Salad (greens, tomatoes, carrots, red onions) | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Varies (no feta, no croutons, vegan dressing) |
| Farmer’s Market Wrap | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Varies (no cheddar, vegan dressing, dairy-free wrap) |
| Chicken salads & wraps without chicken | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Varies by cheese and dressing |
| Broccoli Cheddar Soup | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (dairy) |
| Soup of the Day | ⚠️ Varies | ⚠️ Varies |
| Chips, cookies, brownie | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Varies |
Vegetarian Subs at Togo’s
Three sandwiches on the standard Togo’s menu are built without meat, and each one stands up well as a full meal once it is dressed Togo’s Style.
- #15 Greek Veggie: Hummus, cucumbers, feta, and roasted red peppers with balsamic dressing, served Togo’s Style. This is the most flavor-forward veggie sub. It also takes vegan the easiest, since you just ask the team to skip the feta.
- #21 Cali Veggie: Avocado, cucumbers, double provolone, and mayo, served Togo’s Style. Skip the mayo and provolone for a fully vegan build, or leave them in for a creamy, California-style sandwich loaded with fresh avocado.
- #22 Cheese: Triple-melted cheddar on toasted bread, basically a grilled cheese. It’s the simplest item on the menu and a reliable hot vegetarian option, especially with a side of soup.
“Togo’s Style” adds free toppings to any sub: lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, sliced pepperoncini, and salt and pepper at no extra charge. It’s an easy way to bulk up any of the veggie sandwiches with more vegetables.
Salads and Wraps
- Farmer’s Market Salad: Mixed greens, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncini, feta, and croutons with Italian dressing. The default build is vegetarian. Leave off the feta and croutons and switch to Italian Vinaigrette or Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette for a vegan version.
- Farmer’s Market Wrap: The same vegetable lineup tucked inside a wrap with cheddar. Drop the cheddar and ask for a spinach or plain wrap to keep it dairy-free.
- Chicken salads and wraps, hold the chicken: The Santa Fe, Mediterranean, Asian, and Caesar versions can all be ordered without the protein. The Asian Chicken Salad is the easiest one to take fully vegan, since the Asian dressing is dairy-free.
- Caesar caveat: Caesar dressings traditionally contain anchovies and Parmesan. Confirm with your store before ordering the Chicken Caesar without chicken.
Soups, Sides, Desserts, and Drinks
- Broccoli Cheddar Soup: A reliable vegetarian option, but obviously not vegan thanks to the cheese and cream base.
- Soup of the Day: Varies by location and season. Vegetarian options like tomato basil and minestrone show up regularly, but always confirm. Chicken noodle and clam chowder are common too.
- Chips: Frito-Lay and Miss Vickie’s bags. Most chips flavors are vegetarian, so check the bag for cheese powder or natural flavors if you are strictly vegan.
- Desserts: The dark chocolate chunk cookie, peanut butter cookie, and fudge brownie are all vegetarian. None of these desserts are vegan, because of the butter, dairy, and eggs.
- Drinks: Fountain sodas, bottled water, and bottled juices are all vegan-friendly. They’re a safe pick when you want to round out the meal.
What’s Vegan at Togo’s?
Vegan options at Togo’s exist, but you have to build them. The Greek Veggie without feta and the Cali Veggie without provolone or mayo are the two most reliable vegan sandwiches. Pair either one with a custom Farmer’s Market Salad (no feta, no croutons, Italian Vinaigrette) for a full meal of greens, tomatoes, carrots, and red onions.
- Vegan-friendly breads: Classic White, Sourdough, and the Pretzel Roll are dairy-free. Whole wheat and parmesan breads contain dairy, so avoid those.
- Vegan-friendly wraps: The standard flour wrap, the spinach wrap, and the gluten-free wrap (where carried) do not contain dairy.
- Vegan sandwich condiments: Mustard, Italian Vinaigrette, BBQ sauce, and hot sauce are all dairy- and egg-free. Skip the mayo and ranch.
- Vegan salad dressings: Asian, Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette, and Italian Vinaigrette are the safe picks.
Special Dietary Requirements and Allergies
Togo’s is a sandwich shop where meat, cheese, and bread share the same prep surfaces, so cross-contact is the main thing to plan around. The brand publishes a nutritional and allergen guide on its website that lists wheat, dairy, soy, egg, and sesame on a per-item basis. Pull it up before you order if you have a serious allergy. A few specific notes:
- Gluten-free: Select Togo’s locations carry a gluten-free tortilla wrap, but the kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free environment.
- Dairy: Whole wheat and parmesan breads contain dairy, and most cheeses on the line use animal rennet. Confirm with your location if that matters to you.
- Egg: Standard mayo on the Cali Veggie and the creamy salad dressings contain egg. Mustard, vinaigrettes, and BBQ are the safer choices.
- Shared utensils: Sandwich knives and slicers handle meat and cheese. If you are strict about cross-contact, ask the team to change gloves and grab fresh ingredients from the back.
Tips for Vegetarians at Togo’s
- Order Togo’s Style on every veggie sub. The free vegetable load of lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini is what makes the meatless sandwiches feel like a full meal.
- Build your own. Togo’s is generous about substitutions. Ask for double avocado, extra hummus, more roasted red peppers, or a swap of provolone for cheddar to make a sandwich your own.
- Combine a half sandwich with a salad or soup. The Farmer’s Market Salad plus a half Greek Veggie is one of the most balanced vegetarian meals you can build off this menu.
- Skip the cheese on chicken salads. Many of the protein salads default to feta or cheddar. Ordering them without the chicken and without the cheese opens up several quick vegan-leaning options.
- Verify the soup. The soup of the day rotates frequently and varies by location. Always ask before assuming it’s meat-free.
