Amazing 😻

We got take out yesterday, the staff was awesome, the place was adorable, and the food was amazing. They even have fill your own shampoo, conditioner, etc, as well as a selection of cute retail stuff. I wish we had something like this at home!

Pros: Mostly vegan, Delicious food, Adorable spot

Crunchy Beans

The beans were crunchy and the tofu scramble was dry and flavorless. The pancakes were good though!

One of my favorites!

I was blown away by all the vegan options this place has! They have brunch, salads, wraps, bowls, sandwiches, pasta, dessert, smoothies, and more! I had the avocado sandwich w tofu and it was sooo delicious, I ended up taking half of it home. I bought the matcha coffee cake and I’m excited to try it later, it was difficult to decide what dessert to get. Prices aren’t cheap but the food is incredible and flavorful. The inside of the cafe has shopping as well! (spoons, jewelry, notebooks, totebags, shirts, etc)

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Healthy

Mostly vegan, just have the option to get eggs with breakfast. Delicious!

I had a dinner and a breakfast here. Both delicious. Team friendly and chatty. Will make this a regular spot for my visit to Phoenix. Really enjoyable!!

Pros: Mostly vegan, pay extra for eggs over tofu , Cute shop in store , Friendly team

Cons: They should go 100% vegan, no need for eggs!

Healthy, organic, simple whole foods

I love Pomegranate! It's a place that can accommodate many dietary restrictions (gluten free, soy free, etc.) and still tastes delicious. Some of the items on the menu do feel overpriced or lacking in pizzazz... That said, I really appreciate the thoughtful mostly local sourcing of organic food, and this is reflected in the prices.

I would recommend their lunch menu over their brunch menu. The Gila Monster Nachos are delicious and have great value--easily two meals. I also love the cherry bomb smoothie, the Green Goddess burger, the Pom Mac, and their many, many pastries.

The service is very slow, so do be aware of this when you go.

For vegans: Over the past several years, I have ordered tofu in dishes and they have twice served me eggs instead. It was easy to notice the mistake, but a frustrating occurrence nonetheless.

Pros: yummy, local organic sourcing, healthy options for everyone

Cons: pricey, slow service, sometimes confuses orders

Amazing mostly vegan place. They have eggs too

2/4 members of my party are vegan and the others are open to try new foods. We got pancakes and avocado pesto sandwiches and potatoes hash and biscuits and many desserts including cake and donuts and scones.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Expensive, you tip, then clean your own table lol, No French toast, Has eggs so it’s not vegan

Organic Local Produce and Healthy

I was told by other customers, “You really can’t go wrong, here!” I ended up going with the magic dragon bowl adding tofu with a probiotic shot to accompany my meal and water. It was very tasty and loaded with all kinds of colorful veggies. The sauce was killer and the almonds atop the bow added some extra crunch.

Pros: Pleanty of vegan choices , Brunch, lunch, smoothies, juices, and dinner , Deserts too!

Cons: Serves eggs, albeit vegetarian organic farm eggs

one of my favorite restaurants

this place is amazing.. very health conscious and eco friendly! and their food is to DIE for. blueberry pancakes… best cakes i’ve ever had. avocado breaky sammy.. amazinggg. walnut meat nachos.. filling delicious and SO flavorful! alfredo pasta.. YUMM. i’m so excited to try everything on their menu!!! i wish i lived closer!!

only complaint but not worth knocking stars off: we came here on a sunday an hour before close and almost all of the tables hadnt been bussed. we were LITERALLY left with 2 tables to chose from, one outside and one inside. i’ve never seen a restaurant look so bad..

Pros: eco friendly, composting bins, sell household essentials & some produce too

New favorite!

I’ve been here twice and enjoyed what I had both times. It has a good variety of different types of cuisines that the food is inspired by. I also like that they make a strong effort for sustainability and as little waste as possible.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Small other things for sale like cookbooks etc

2 people 3 entrees, 4 desserts.

This place was phenomenal. My girlfriend and I visited 5 days ago, and it was so good we went back in and ordered a 3rd entree to split!

The "lemon parmesan cauliflower alfredo" may be one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth.

The biscuits were perfect crisp and the 'gravy' was to die for.

The last entree was the poblano mushroom tacos, divine.

The neopolitan cheesecake, chocolate cake, and cookie dough truffle were fantastic, but for a real treat, go fir the berry cupcake!

Pros: Great prices, Friendly staff, Drinks

Delicious Gluten free food

This is my go to restaurant in our part of town. I love the numerous gluten free options and the staff are easily able to confirm if there are any ingredients I cannot eat in the product. I love their pancakes, raw snickers bar, mac & cheese, burger...well, the list goes on and on.

Pros: Gluten Free options, Excellent food

Cons: Sometimes long wait for carryout

Most buzzare behaviors I've ever witnessed

Clueless zombie employees and terribly rude owners. Holy crap i wouldnt know where to start, we were actually looking into a law suit against these bigots. What a shame for the health community regardless of the tasty food. Anyone can add 3lbs of salt to make it tasty tho tbh..

Pros: Semi healthy tasty (salty) food

Cons: Rude and non-attentive employees, Discriminating, Plain stupid

Excellent for sure

The atmosphere is chill even though they stay incredibly busy. We had the full nachos ( could have been set with the half order). They were tasty but the chips got soft quick. I’d consider getting the cashew cheese on the side to dip in. We also got two shakes and the green burger which was great! The service was also fast and friendly. Great Sunday lunch. :)

Pros: Nachos!, Shakes!, Atmosphere!

So good!

I went here the first day of my vacation, and it was so good I went back for a second time! Had the strawberry banana french toast both times, because it was too good not to. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. My husband had the chimpanzee bowl. I tried that and it was delicious as well. Wish I had one of these where I live.

Service was also great on both visits. No complaints.

Never disappoints

I always bring my non-veg friends here when they’re in town. Their menu is seasonal and I’m never afraid to try something new because it never disappoints. Recently had the BBQ buffalo ranch salad and it was amazing!

Pros: All vegan/vegetarian, Seasonal ingredients, Transparent and knowledgeable staff

Horrible service

My table of 3 was here for 1.5 hours. We ordered one appetizer and 2 entrees. Our server had horrible, very foul breath, she did not refill our water at all, and took 30 minutes to take our order. The food was very greasy, the silverware smelled like strong bleach, and our server never checked how we were or even gave us our check. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry, I was grossed out at the service and lack of attention. Oh, and my water had dried carrot or beet juice all along the curved end of the tapered mason jar it was served in. I would hate to see their kitchen.

Cons: Unsanitary , Horrible service

Valley's most extensive vegan menu.


Every time I visit they have different, delicious and decadent desserts you won't tell are vegan. Of course there are season specials cause they use fresh local products. The proceeds from some dishes go to different organizations that help animals, you should check the menu or ask the waiter.

Pros: Generous portions , Tastefully food, Outdoor seating

Notable raw eats

Phoenix’s Pomegranate Cafe is hailed as the best vegetarian eats around. No honey. Eggs & cheese are the strays from animal-welfare. Many amazing Raw Food and Vegan items on the menu & all organic & Gluten Free!‬

Pros: Raw food menu items, Workshop area w sundries store, Colorful photography on walls

Cons: Serves eggs and cheese, Service lax
