Street Beet brings plant-based diner fare and arcade games to Detroit’s Corktown - Detroit Metro Times

Detroit's popular plant-based pop-up, Street Beet, is expanding to a brick-and-mortar location in Corktown. The restaurant, which has garnered a cult following for its vegan takes on classic American comfort food, officially opened its doors in the former Bobcat Bonnie's space at 1800 Michigan Avenue.

To celebrate this milestone, Street Beet will host a grand opening event from Thursday, December 11th, with festivities running from 4 pm to 11 pm. The venue boasts not only a plant-based menu that includes mouth-watering options like meatless coney dogs, smashburgers, and nachos but also an arcade featuring classic games from Offworld Arcade.

Guests can dine in or order carryout from the walk-up window, making it easy for foodies to enjoy Street Beet's delicious offerings. The restaurant plans to expand its menu soon with a brunch option, full service bar, coffee counter serving vegan pastries, and patio seating – all part of the company's vision to make Street Beet a beloved gathering spot in Corktown.

"We've dreamed of this space for years," said founder Meghan Shaw. "Bringing Street Beet home to Corktown feels unreal – this is our biggest leap yet, and we can't wait to feed everyone again." With its unique blend of plant-based eats and classic arcade games, Street Beet promises to be a must-visit destination in Detroit's vibrant food scene.
 
omg I'm so stoked for Street Beet 🤩! it's been hearing great things about this pop-up and now they're finally getting a brick-and-mortar spot? that's amazing news! I mean, who doesn't love a good vegan coney dog or smashburger 😋? and the arcade sounds like so much fun - classic games and all that. i'm definitely down to check it out when it opens on the 11th... can't wait to try their food and play some old-school video games 🎮. I've heard they're planning to expand the menu soon too, which is awesome - more vegan options? yes please! 💖
 
omg u guys i am SO stoked about street beet expanding to corktown!! 🤩 they're finally gonna make their brick-and-mortar a reality and it's gonna be lit! i mean, who doesn't love plant-based versions of american comfort food like coney dogs and smashburgers? 🍔🌱 and the arcade games? game on! offworld arcade vibes for days. i've been waiting for this moment for ages, can't wait to try all their new menu items, especially that brunch option... Meghan Shaw is a genius, btw. 😎 this is gonna be the best gathering spot in corktown, no doubt about it! 🌟
 
I'm stoked to hear about Street Beet expanding to a brick-and-mortar location 🤩. A plant-based pop-up that serves up vegan versions of classic comfort food? Yes please! But, I gotta wonder, how are they gonna keep the magic alive? Corktown's already got some amazing eats, and I don't want Street Beet to get lost in the crowd 😊. That being said, an arcade with classic games sounds like a total game-changer (pun intended) 🎮. It'll definitely bring in a different vibe and attract some new customers. But, I hope they keep that walk-up window for carryout – it's such a convenient way to grab food on the go 🚗. And, can we talk about how adorable Meghan Shaw is? 😍 She's got that "small business owner" charm down pat 💖. Overall, I'm hyped for Street Beet and its expansion plans 👏.
 
idk why they're making such a fuss about this place... it's just another plant-based joint trying to cash in on the whole vegan thing 🤷‍♀️. i mean, meatless coney dogs and smashburgers? how original. and what's with the arcade games? like, who thought that was a good idea? tryin' to draw in the kiddos or somethin'? anyway, it's not like they're gonna change the world with their fancy brick-and-mortar spot... just another overpriced meal for people lookin' for a quick Instagram pic 📸.
 
man, i'm hyped for street beet's brick-and-mortar location... been hearing great things about their pop-up spots 🤩 but at the same time, i'm worried about the cost of living in corktown getting any crazier. like, 1800 michigan ave is already pretty pricey and this new spot's gonna bring a whole lot more people to the area, so that's got me thinking about gentrification and whether they'll be able to keep it real for the community 🤔
 
OH MY GOSH, DETROIT IS GETTING SO COOL!!! 🤩 I mean, a pop-up that expands into a brick-and-mortar spot with an AMAZING menu and arcade games? That's like, the ultimate combo! 🎮 Street Beet is going to be EVERYWHERE in Corktown and I'm OBSESSED with the idea of trying all those plant-based classics - coney dogs, smashburgers, nachos... YUM! 😋 And can we talk about how amazing it is that they're adding a brunch option and full service bar? This place is literally going to be the GO-TO spot in Detroit. I've been hearing so much about Street Beet from friends and foodies alike and now I get why - Meghan Shaw is a GENIUS! 🙌

Yooo, just checked the stats on street food trends in Detroit 🤯. Apparently, plant-based eats have been on the rise by 25% in the past year alone 📈. And now, Street Beet is taking it to the next level with a brick-and-mortar spot in Corktown 💸. The grand opening event is gonna be lit 🔥, with over 500 guests expected to attend 🎉. I'm curious to see how their brunch menu does – vegan breakfast options are getting a major boost by 30% across the US this year 🍳. Street Beet's got its work cut out for it, but with that arcade game selection, they're already gonna be a top spot for gamers and foodies alike 👾🍔!

OMG I'm so stoked about Street Beet expanding to a brick-and-mortar location! Their pop-up spots have been serving up some serious deliciousness with those vegan takes on American comfort food 😍. Can't wait to try out the meatless coney dogs and smashburgers at their Corktown spot - it's gonna be lit! The arcade games are also a genius addition, who needs virtual reality when you can play classic Pac-Man in a real arcade? 🎮 Meghan Shaw is giving me all the feels with her passion project, this is literally the ultimate vision for Street Beet. More menu options like brunch and a coffee counter sound amazing, I'm already dreaming of their vegan pastries 🍰👌
 
This expansion is too good to be true 🤔. I mean, what's the real reason they chose this location? Is it just coincidental or was there some behind-the-scenes deal maker involved? And that arcade thingy... sounds like a clever distraction from the 'real' menu items being served. I bet they're gonna push all sorts of 'plant-based' propaganda on us to get people to try their overpriced vegan burgers 🤮. Don't get me wrong, I'll give them credit for innovating, but there's gotta be more to this than meets the eye...
 
omg i'm so hyped!! 🤩 street beet is literally the best vegan spot in detroit now they're opening up shop in corktown and it's gonna be a total game changer!!! who wouldn't wanna hang out at an arcade in their fave restaurant lol? Meghan Shaw is literally the queen of plant-based magic i'm def going to that grand opening event on dec 11th 🎉👯‍♀️ gotta try those meatless coney dogs ASAP 💁‍♀️
 
omg yaaas 🤩 finally street beet has a physical spot in corktown i've been dying to try their meatless coney dogs lol what's next a drive-thru window? 😂 anyway can't wait for the grand opening and that arcade game selection is gonna be lit 💥 gotta love how they're already thinking of expanding their menu with brunch and a full service bar 🍹
