Toriano Gordon is a dedicated father and husband from San Francisco’s Fillmore District. After dedicating a decade of his life to helping at-risk and formerly incarcerated youth in the San Francisco Bay Area, he decided to pursue his lifelong passion of cooking. Toriano experienced a huge shift in his health and well-being after adopting a plant-based diet and started Vegan Mob as his way of sharing this with others

The Vegan Mob mission is to provide nutritious and healthy food with plant-based ingredients and to help surrounding communities by empowering them with food they love and enjoy, while also supporting a healthy life-style

Vegan Mob's flagship location is Lake Park Avenue in Oakland's Grand Lake neighborhood -- just down the street from Oakland's historic Grand Lake Theatre. We opened in October, 2019 and ran out of food six hours into our first meal service. We were equipped to serve a few hundred that day, not the thousands who arrived

We have hundreds walk up visitors per day and do hundreds of delivery orders through partnerships with DoorDash, Caviar, Postmates, etc

Following the tremendous success of our Oakland location we have grown and are planning to expand into new communities, and eventually across the country. Our SF Food Truck and San Jose ghost kitchen launched in spring of 2020. We are looking for a permanent location for the food trunk in SF and to open a walk-up brick and mortar location in San Jose. We are targeting our third permanent location to be open next summer in SF or LA

Beyond our Bay Area growth our goal is to build a franchise model to open 100 locations across the country. This expansion will allow us to provide over 1000 living wage jobs with health care benefits and provide healthy food to communities ravaged by poor health and disease

The menu is comprised of traditional family soul food recipes and barbecue fusion. We make soul food staples like gumbo, brisket, and po' boys that are 100% plant-based. The crowd favorites include the Mob Plate and Smackaroni, our super creamy vegan mac & cheese. Our plant-based proteins are handmade locally by Chef Chew of Something Better Foods

There is a literal mob of people who love us. We have over 78k followers on social media, 730 4-star Yelp reviews, and serve regulars like Danny Glover, Mistah F.A.B.and Kehlani. We've been featured in major publications like , , and . The Vegan Mob movement is strong and we're ready to grow. , Food & Wine SF Chronicle Eater

We have set out to combine soul food and BBQ with a healthy plant-based positive lifestyle. The response is proof that people get it, and we're ready to bring Vegan Mob to more communities in the Bay Area and beyond

We love our loyal customers and fans, which is why we want to open this opportunity for our community to invest in Vegan Mob's growth. Together we can make create more change, eat food that feeds your soul and keeps you healthy, and have a lot of fun. Pull up on us baby!
