"Looks are deceiving, this place is awesome"   My Rating

	Review: This place looks like a stoned surfer hangout but is really an amazing vegetarian joint in disguise. No one's in a huge hurry there, so don't expect fast food speed, rather take the time to enjoy the cool ocean breeze (the beach is just across the road and down a hill). The soups are great, especially the amazing lentil soup. Definitely ask for the soup to be HOT - the laid back staff serve the soup lukewarm more often than not. The sandwiches are good, some of them not as tasty. I recommend the hummus guacamole sandwich, which has plenty of taste and is really filling. The corn chips they make on site that come with the sandwiches are very good. The smoothies aren't frozen, so they aren't particularly refreshing, but very healthy nevertheless. The sorbet-ish (but 100% fruit) frozen fruit however, is amazing... definitely recommend trying that.   Pros: amazing soups and sandwiches * laidback, no dress code, allows dogs * cheap Cons: pretty slow * sometimes long lines * what happens when it rains?!

"I Really Liked This Place. ;)"   My Rating

	Review: I really liked this place and had a lovely lunch here! I got a popular wrap; I believe it was the hummus and guacamole wrap? It was so good that I couldn't believe it. I'll admit I was apprehensive about going here since it's a stand, but whoa, it's so good. Try one of their peanut butter cookies too, they are mighty tasty! Beautiful patio as well.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"I love The Stand"   My Rating

	Review: I used to go to The Stand all the time when I lived in Laguna, tons of variety for Vegans, and tasty enough to bring my meat eating friends without them complaining at me for the meals not having any meat in them. Good sandwiches and wraps.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"The Stand is a wonderful place!"   My Rating
1 awebaby	Posted on: Sunday, August 26, 2007
	Review: I just wanted to disagree about the salads being bland and over priced. the salads are a great deal bigger than they look and are not your usual salads with a bunch of lettuce and a few tomatoes or a little bit of lettuce and not much else. They are big you will be amazed if you put the bigger salads in a bowl (they come on a paper plate which makes them look small as everything is packed in there) and they are chock - chunks of tomatoes - sprouts cucumbers etc. - there are many kinds - some topped with hummus some with guacamole - some have rice in them - some with bean pate etc. - they taste great to me. There are plenty of spices on the tables including Spike and braggs if you are not happy with the taste. You will meet lots of cool people there too! No - I am not the owners daughter - yes I do know him - I lived in the town a long time and in those days everyone knew each other. It was a great gathering spot. Highly recommended   Pros: tasty * healthy * friendly Cons: limited seating * *

"Simple Vegan Food"   My Rating
16 Veganmilit ant	Posted on: Wednesday, June 27, 2007
	Review: The food tastes really natural and homemade. The best deals are half sandwhich combos and the 1.95 taco with chips. The 100% fruit soft serve is also really tasty. Theres no soy or fake meat products, but they have a good selection of differnt kinds of meals. Also, the salads are bland and overpriced.   Pros: wheat grass shots * * Cons: sexist owner * over-priced *

"Vegan Paradise"   My Rating
11 Island Hopper	Posted on: Friday, March 09, 2007
	Review: What a treat to find this little treasure. An extensive all vegan menu with a very friendly and caring staff. You can't go wrong with any choice on this menu. Sandwiches, pitas, tamales, burritos, soups, salads, dressings, waffles, treats, fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, shakes, etc, etc. It's all here, it's all vegan and it's all good. Overwhelmed by the big menu and not sure what you want? Ask the staff, they are more than willing to help. Limited outdoor seating only; but it is a little off of PCH on Thalia so at least it's reasonably quiet. Don't forget to pack a couple of quarters for the parking meter. After you're done eating head across PCH and hit the beach!   Pros: Quality * Selection * Staff Cons: * *

"Nice find"   My Rating

	Review: It's a nice find for this area - all vegan booth "stand" place offering a large menu of all sorts plus fresh juices. We ordered the tamales topped with guacamole, and that was good. Definitely cool for this area.   Pros: cozy * all vegan * many choices Cons: few outdoor seats only * *
