This restaurant is awesome! Delicious food, in both vegan and non vegan versions. Friendly environment and very close to the Indiana Dunes lakeshore. read more

We read the reviews for the Pub sandwich so were super excited to try it. Because of the COVID pandemic, many restaurants are struggling just a bit with supplies, so although they didn't have that sandwich for the day, they did have a BBQ seitan sandwich (YeeHaw BBQ) that was delicious. I also had a peanut butter cookie which had the crispness on the outside, but soft center, that I remember how a peanut butter cookies should be. My friend had the vanilla cupcake which she said was wonderful. You must try this adorable cafe if in the area. read more

Lunch. Amazing menu for vegetarians. I had the taco salad with the impossible burger instead of hamburger. Server was outstanding.

Great local place. It has something for everyone. The vegan club sandwich doesn't disappoint..even my decidedly carnivorous Son loved it. Fresh salads, delicious sandwiches, and don't miss the chocolate dipped vegan peanut-butter cookies...they are as good as any regular peanut butter cookies I've ever had. Fast service, great food, and a quaint atmosphere ....you can't go wrong. read more

It was amazing to find so many vegan options to eat at this place in a neighborhood where vegetarians like me have a hard time finding a hearty, healthy yet delicious meals. I was craving for a hot grilled sandwich after a long hike. Tiger Lily served the purpose. Their desserts looked very tempting too. I'm saving that for next time. Thank you for the quick and thoughtful service. I ordered and they called back to make changes as they were out of one item (it was almost their closing time so I don't blame them) and by the time I reached there to pick up in 8 minutes it was ready for me :-) I'll go again.. read more

I've been eating here since the place opened and over the ensuing years the food has remained consistently awesome, the staff as friendly as you could ask for, and really this place is a vegan oasis in the middle of a food desert. Great sandwiches and even better shakes plus vegan baked goods. They have normal people food too so if you have a fussy carnivore in your group this place is an easy compromise. read more

I am vegan and live in Chicago but came back to valpo for a wedding this past weekend. We stopped by tiger lily hoping to pick up some desserts to bring with us to have at the wedding while everyone else enjoyed wedding cake and we were so pleasantly surprised by the options. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped us pick out a beautiful vegan chocolate cupcake, brownie and cherry turnover. Everything was amazing and i am so happy to know this place exists in nwi. I have never had the chance to eat lunch or dinner here because they are closed on Sunday and Monday which happen to also be my days off but we will definitely make an effort to dine here now that our experience with their bakery was so great. read more

If Vegan and gluten free is your thing, then this is your place to eat and shop. If you're not, then this is the place for a nice home cooked meal to satisfy even the most discerning of taste buds. read more

Tiger Lily - Home style lunch without the mess. :D - Sandwiches Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

Tiger Lily is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in the area. I have been there countless times, and have managed to taste over half of their menu. The menu is split in half, with one side having vegan options and the other having traditional options, making it a great choice for dates or small groups. If you have enough room for dessert, they offer great vegan and traditional baked goods ranging from muffins to cakes. read more

So you love sweets? So you're a vegan or vegetarian? So you feel like eating some food? Then look no further than Tiger Lily. They have a great, clean and warming environment. The owner immediately asked us if we were vegan or vegetarian and pointed out the vegan options. I had a brownie sundae (vegetarian but dairy free and delicious) and my companion had a vanilla milkshake (vegan). Both were amazing. They also have a little gift shop which will be great around the holidays for female friends. Fun postcards and the like, but the thing to come for is the FOOD. You won't regret it. read more

Lots of vegan options, clean, good service. Friendly, helpful staff. Semi eco friendly packaging a bonus. Peanut butter cookie very delicious! Potato salad a bit salty but great flavor. Very kid friendly. We'll be back. read more

It's too bad nearly every time i visit my mom in Chesterton, it happens to be a Sunday-Monday visit because Tiger Lily is closed on those days. Flew out late Tuesday this time around, so got to do lunch here. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. I had the vegan roast beef and a delicious salad with an amazing house-made dressing. I can't find the menu online so i can't tell you the exact name...sorry. The non-vegans at the table enjoyed their meals as well. FYI, they do have outdoor seating. Please support this place so I have somewhere good to eat next time i'm home. Thanks! read more

I had high hopes for this place since finding anything with a vegan menu within 50 miles of home has proven to be difficult, but my hopes were dashed and I won't be returning here anytime soon. For starters, we were sat, but then we waited and waited and waited before anyone came to get our drink orders. Then we waited some more for them to show up and take our actual order. I had the vegan pub sandwich, my wife had the vegan "chicken", "bacon", and ranch salad. We ordered the kids a regular chicken quesadilla to split. It took forever for the food to finally show after coming to tell me that my side order had just run out. It also took forever for the staff to bus the table next to ours. They actually put it off until all tables were full and more people came through the door and then scurried to clean it before they turned around and walked out. When my food did arrive the sandwich was beyond overcooked and the fries were lukewarm at best. My Upton's Naturals crumbles were so burnt that they were crunchy and the bread was stale. My wife's salad was alright, but nothing spectacular. The quesadillas were mediocre at best. We decided to try the vegan desserts since they're known for their baked goods and went with the chocolate donut, the pudding and cake cup, and the lemon tart. To start with the good, the pudding cup was actually really good. The lemon tart had a bit more crust than filling. Unfortunately the donut ruined everything beyond redemption for me. We cut it into quarters so everyone could try a bite and when we did we all had the same disgusted reaction as we crunched into a donut that felt and tasted like it had been sitting in that display for at least a week. I'm not planning on going back again after our experience. TL;DR: Slow service, burnt food, stale donuts. read more

So many vegan foods in the middle of nowheres! Thankful that this place popped up while I was on a road trip. The food was fantastic, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The only thing that threw me off was that there is a small grocery store in the back... and the employee's McDonald's cups and jackets were on one of the tables. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Chesterton. The food is fresh as and healthy. Lots of vegan options. Bakery is amazing.

Cute little place food and service is always great!!! Good little place to have lunch.

This experience was a first. We actually used Yelp to find a good place for breakfast that wasn't necessarily a chain restaurant. We found this place. Walked in and asked if the 4 topper was ok as we were a party of 2. We were told it was. When I came back from the bathroom, we had been asked to move for a large party. No one ever sat at the table. We had to ask for menus and silverware. When we ordered, it was two waffles and a coffee. Did you know that to refill coffee, the waitress takes it back to the kitchen? Neither did I. I would like to offset the ridiculous and incompetent service with a statement that the food was good but I can't. We waited literally 45 minutes for our food. IT NEVER CAME. FOURTY FIVE MINUTES FOR WAFFLES!!!!! MANAGEMENT: if you want to only do catering, CLOSE THE RESTAURANT. Your staff is incapable of waiting on customers and serving food. Read your Yelp reviews because we are telling you the problem. The pastries looked great. The other patrons' food looked good. Your staff was horrible. We left. Never got our food and no I didn't pay for the coffee. That was your payment for wasting 45 minutes of my trip waiting. read more

Great place for both vegan and non-vegan food. Restaurant and cafe and both fantastic.

I'm in love. I've gone about 90% vegan and 10% vegetarian recently. They have a vegan only menu! They make their own seitan on site. Bakery is beautiful with vegan fair as well. Staff was wonderful and helpful. Cleanest restaurant and kitchen I have ever seen. Had the equivalent of a Philly cheese steak but vegan with the cucumber salad side. Iced tea was fantastic. Menu was extensive on both the vegan and standard offerings. Left with the best chocolate caramel cupcake EVER. Can't wait to go back for the vegan peanut butter cookie dipped in dark chocolate. Open until 3pm. read more

Vegan lovers celebrate!!! Vegan cupcakes and vegan pumpkin caramel coffee!!! In love with this place. Im so grateful I saw the advertisement in the freeway. Yippee! read more

Tiger Lily - Sandwiches Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

In the area for a business meeting I needed a place to grab a quick bite and take a conference call. I hit the jackpot with this plate. The pear walnut salad is delicious. I asked for chicken to be added because I needed the protein and it was juicy and tender. Bottom line: whether you are vegan or not, if you are going to eat in Chesterton...eat here! read more

We had lunch today and absolutely loved it!!! We had the shepherds pie, BLTA, Philly cheesesteak and I think it was called the Pub sandwich (?). It was the first thing listed on the menu. We also had the chili cheese fries. Fantastic!! Oh, did I mention it was also vegan? Also the chili and spinach orzo soup. I am so excited that we found this treasure. They also have the same sandwiches with meat. This restaurant is for meat eaters and vegans. Run don't walk to this tasty place!! read more

Amazing! Stopped in with a mixed group of vegan and non-vegan - everyone loved their meals. Waitress was top notch; we never saw the bottom of our glasses and services was incredibly fast. read more

I didn't leave a review of last time but it was super uncomfortable because it was packed and this place is not suited for packed. We came at the perfect time this time! Not full of people and we didn't get stuck near a door in the winter. This place is in serious need of expansion! Anyway, our food was delicious, even better than usual. My husband and I ordered vegan dishes, as usual. The chef even came out and asked how our food was which was really nice. The staff were friendly and fast as usual too. Ordered a few new things from the bakery. Lemon coconut cream cookies, banana brownie, and a turtle brownie. They were all amazing. I could eat the banana brownies all day! Next time I'll get more than one. We got a blueberry muffin that I could do without though, first thing I've tried that I just personally didn't like. read more

Love this restaurant! Have been here on several occasions & have never had a bad experience. The food is wonderful, the service prompt & friendly, prices very reasonable, and the desserts are always scrumptious. Would definitely recommend Tiger Lily for anyone. They have both a regular & vegan menus which helps with dietary concerns. My favorite meal is the chicken & cranberry salad with orange poppy seed dressing. Bursting with flavor!! read more

We recently changed to eating vegan. Decided to give Tiger Lily a try tonight! So glad we did! They were fast and friendly and the food was delicious( Pub sandwich and french fries). Great find! read more

I LOVE this place. So many awesome vegan selections that are untouchable compared to other Vegan restaurants! There's a reason the pub sandwich is what they're known for, I think I'm drooling. Excellent staff too!! read more

I love the bakery part of this cafe, where they also serve coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccino, hot coco & tea. Many choices of vegan pastries and cakes that do taste good. The lady in that counter is always friendly, helpful, and chatty. I like that. keep up the good job! read more

See all

Amazing vegan options. We visited on a Friday during lent and were surprised by how many incredible vegan options we had to choose from. I got the vegan spaghetti and 'meatballs' while my husband got the incredible 'burger'. Both items could have fooled us into thinking they were real meat. We also had some amazing macaroons for dessert. This establishment will 100% become favorite for both of us! Megan was also an incredible server and brought personality to our visit. read more

We love Tiger Lily! We love their home cooked meals and their delicious bakery. Can't wait to order their fairly free pumpkin praline pie!

Stopped here while driving cross country and what a gem! A beautiful variety of pastries and a great cafe menu, with lots of options for both meat eaters and vegans. Very nice, friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended! read more

I had a terrible meal on Saturday night. Took my family there and some politician was holdind a meet n greet. His people were all drunk. I was sick all night. Service was awful. read more

Food was good, staff was very nice, but unfortunetly Tiger Lily offers a very limited menu.

Great food! Vegan options were wonderful and bakery options are awesome for vegan options. Add T-shirts to the store to support the cause. Will stop again on our way to Michigan read more

As we travel around the country, my omnivore wife and I are always looking for good restaurants where we can both have several menu choices. Tiger Lily meets our two most important criteria - many (actually equal) choices for both of us and enjoyable food. It also has good service from nice people and a wonderful bakery. The number of good bakeries with vegan options is not great, but this is excellent. Anyone traveling along the east-west I80-90-94 artery through Northwest Indiana should stop to try it. We travel it a lot between Madison, WI and Boston, MA so will definitely return. read more

This is a nice cafe, with lots of dessert choices. They have many vegan and vegetarian options.

The food here is outstanding. Food is fresh. You can dine inside or outside. Prime rib steak sandwich was excellent. Service and staff were great. Homemade desserts looked great. Will be going back soon. Highly recommend. Also has vegan menu. read more

Quaint little shop with fantastic vegan food. They have a special sauce for the fries that is beyond amazing. Will definitely come back. Cheesecake is pretty amazing too. read more

I really wanted to like this place; the setting was cute and overall I felt like this would be a go-to place if I lived in the area but it just didn't live up to my expectations. Firstly, the waitress that attended us came off as rude or for lack of a better term, bitchy. I don't want to think that race played a role but I did seem out of place being the only Mexican there. I got so excited when they handed me a vegan only menu since that's difficult to come by these days. I ordered the fish tacos and my boyfriend ordered the spinach and artichoke panini. My goodness I was so excited; the wait was long but I thought it'd be worth it. Then we got brought out what looked like those fishless fish fillets from Gardein with a side of fries (which were stale btw) and two sauces; the fish weren't even in a tortilla... why call it fish tacos if it's just fish sticks?! My boyfriend got what looked like a grilled cheese with the cheese not even melted, and just smothered with a sauce. Overall, I think I could've done a better job at home. I was debating of whether to rate it 2 or 3 stars, but they did have a bakery with vegan options that I didn't try so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. read more

Based on Yelp reviews, we got off the interstate and searched this place out while traveling through the area. Food was good; Cobb salad and turkey BLT were both fresh tasted good. However, service was not very friendly. You know the feeling, like you're an imposition. Ordered ice tea, didn't specify nor was asked sweetened or unsweetened. Got sweetened, took a while to get changed. Didn't have a chance to drink much by the time I got it so asked for a go cup. Dumped what I had left in a cup and didn't offer to refill. Got 2 scoops of ice cream to go; looked like melon balls scoops for $4. Bottom line, good, fresh food, just didn't feel welcome. read more
