Tennessee: This Dairy-Free Guide Hits all the Right Notes

Last Update in July 2023! We’ve created this ever-growing guide to restaurants, bakeries, cafes, ice cream shops, and stores in Tennessee that are friendly to dairy-free diners. It’s a collection based on research and reader recommendations (send yours!) that’s divided into restaurants & shops by city (first) and major chains found throughout the state (second). And we’ve started a section for specialty dairy-free foods produced in this state.

We Update Continuously! You can ignore the original date on this post going forward. We update the information below whenever we’re alerted to a new recommendation, change, or closure.
