Vegan Desserts in Santa Ana
Santa Ana is the biggest city in Orange County and one of the best places in it to eat. The dessert side runs heavily toward paleteras, pan dulce and churros, much of which is closer to plant based than people assume. Here is where the genuinely vegan options are.
Where to find KOKONUT in Santa Ana
949 Grill Lounge, 2 Hutton Centre Dr #204. It sits in the Hutton Centre office cluster right off the 55 and 405 interchange, which makes it an easy stop if you work in the area or are passing through.

What is already close to vegan in Santa Ana
Worth knowing before you assume there is nothing:
- Paletas. The fruit water based ones are usually dairy free. The cream based ones are not. Ask which base.
- Churros. Often dairy free in the batter, but usually fried in shared oil, so it depends how strict you are.
- Nieves and aguas frescas. Fruit and water, generally safe.
- Pan dulce. Almost always contains butter, eggs or lard. This is the one to check.
What coconut pudding adds
KOKONUT is coconut water, coconut milk, organic coconut sugar and agar agar, plus the flavor. Plant based, dairy free, gluten free and soy free, set with agar rather than gelatin so it holds in the fridge without a freezer.
Nine flavors including black sesame, matcha, taro, Vietnamese coffee, mango, peach and strawberry.
