September was quite the month of decadence with me trying out as many vegan birthday freebies as I could. Turns out I only had time to get to just a few of them. Unsurprisingly, I made sure to hit up some of my favorite spots first.
Since they open at 9am, first up is a vegan red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles. It’s still the one and only vegan option available. To get it, join their birthday club and on your b-day, you’ll get a email for a free cupcake that’s only good on your actual birthday. They will ask to see your id.
At Veggie Grill, you get a free entrée of your choice, I got the B.T.L.A. – smokey tempeh bacon, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro pesto tossed arugula, aioli mayo on grilled sourdough with yukon gold fries. It’s another awesome new addition to their menu. So far, I’ve liked everything that I’ve ever tried at Veggie Grill.
The birthday offer is good for 14 days from when it’s sent, I received it a week before my b-day. The email said they check id but they didn’t for me. To get it, join the GrillClub and get a free dessert just for signing up and occasionally they’ll send coupons to try out various items for free.
Register a Starbucks card to get a birthday reward redeemable for your choice of drink or food. I went with the Hearty Veggie and Brown Rice Salad Bowl – roasted butternut squash, beets, kale, red cabbage, steamed broccoli florets and peas with lemon tahini dressing over brown rice. It was pretty good. Nice and healthy. Although I would prefer it if they had de-stem the kale.
For a free birthday sandwich from Ike’s Place, join Ike’s E-Club. You’ll get an email with your free sandwich coupon a week before your b-day. It said to bring your id since they’re going to card you but they didn’t ask to see my id. It’s good for 14 days from when the email was sent.
I got the Vegan Tom Brady – vegan breaded chicken, garlic, mushrooms, herb sauce, avocado, vegan cheddar on Dutch Crunch. Messy to eat but so good. I can only managed to eat half of an Ike’s sandwich at a time. I also phoned in my order so I didn’t have to wait in line. As always, you get a free lollipop at Ike’s whether or not it’s your birthday.
I received these other birthday freebies that I didn’t get around to trying. But there’s always next year.
Red Robin, free birthday burger
Rubio’s, free meal up to $7
Johnny Rockets, free hamburger with a purchase of any entree and drink
Noodles & Company, free birthday bowl
Really?! I had no idea this sort of thing was happening in the world. Well, I say the world, I think it is only the US. Come on UK pull your socks up.
Happy Belated birthday. All your dishes look so tasty.

Hooray! No food tastes better than free food, especially free cake. I’m rather jealous of the Ike’s sandwich in particular!
Holy moly, I didn’t realize that all of these places had birthday freebies- and such generous ones at that! I always sign up for tons of these things but they’re never this good. Time to get my game plan in place for this coming birthday…
It seems like you had many birthdays this year! :)
The Ike sandwich looks delicious! The VeggieGrill looks tasty too. I didn’t know there were birthday freebies going around. I haven’t heard of it in Canada…
Happy Belated Birthday. There’s nothing like good food to celebrate!
Happy Belated Birthday, lady! Hope you had a fabulous day and wishing you a wonderful year ahead! Vegan Birthday Freebies are the best – I didn’t know you can get a free birthday cupcake from Sprinkles, I tried the cupcake in Chicago and it was pretty rich, decadent and something I would try once a year! That’s so cool you can get drink or food at Starbucks – I need to check that out. I only had Native Food, Veggie Grill and Starbucks on my birthday, that was pretty much it… My birthday isn’t that soon yet, it’s during the summer ;( Thank you for listing these birthday freebies, I appreciate it! Have a great Sunday!
