About us
San Francisco Vegan Society (SFVS) welcomes people wherever they are on the path to an all-plant, vegan diet and lifestyle. We promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle for ethical, healthy and sustainable living, and offer a community for people to meet, learn, exchange ideas and interact with others interested in compassionate living for a better world. Together we can make this movement grow and encourage a way of life that is better for your health, better for the well-being of animals, better for the environment, and better for humanity.

COMMUNITY NOTES:
SFVS Community Agreements: We want everyone to have a great time at our events. The San Francisco Vegan Society Community Agreements is our simple way of making sure everyone feels respected, included and comfortable. It’s a shared promise to show up with kindness, listen well, and treat each other with care. Together, we create a space where everyone belongs and thrives.
Group Organizer: As of June 3, 2025, SFVS became the organizer of this group. SFVS uses this Meetup group to share both Official SFVS Events and Community-Led Events. Only events that display the SFVS logo in the event image are SFVS-sponsored events. All other listings should be understood as community postings, not official SFVS programming. Community-led events are hosted by members or other organizations and are shared as a courtesy when they are related to veganism; they are not sponsored or endorsed by SFVS.
If you have questions about whether a specific event is SFVS-sponsored, please email [events@sfvs.org](mailto:events@sfvs.org) — we’re happy to clarify.

Dinner at Shangri-la Buddha Vegan Restaurant
Shangri-La Albany, 755 San Pablo Avenue, Albany, CA, US* SFVS Official Event *
Join us for another fun dinner!
After a hard week's work, you don't want to expend precious energy deciding what to order for dinner. Enter Shangri-La: a delicious vegan restaurant with one daily special. Your only decision is whether to order the Moderate or Full meal. Simple! The flavors are full, complex and subtle. The heat level is low, but there is cayenne pepper on each table if you want more. Free herbal tea.
There is pie available for dessert. There will also be a pilgrimage to Mr. Dewie's cashew ice cream shop afterwards, just a few blocks away.
