Black Bean Co.

The people working there are so friendly and it is very easy to order vegan here. Definitely a place you can bring your meat-eating friends as well. Pancakes are awesome! Will be coming back! 4 cows only because happy cow won't let me put 5.

*They have a parking lot in the back so you don't have to park on the street!
*All pastries are vegan!

BB Co is a pleasant, clean looking restaurant that fits the hipster/yuppie vibe of the Vista area. The food tastes good, though the baked goods can be a bit dry. I have also found that both visits to eat there left me with abdominal pain and a strong sense of exhaustion - both times I went right home and slept three hours because I felt so drained, even though it was only lunch time! More like "no energy" food for me. I hadn't eaten anything that was new to me either time, but this is the only place I have had this reaction. I also noticed aq smokiness to the air that irritated my eyes, and it left a strong and unpleasant odor on my clothing, even if I stopped in only briefly. The staff is friendly and the food reasonably priced, but that can't make up for the decided unwell feeling I have been left with both times I ate there.

I like this place a LOT! They have a vegan menu, so you don't have to ask what's in everything! It was all fresh and delicious!

They actually have a whole section of the menu entitled Pure Vegan Wraps. I got a green spring street wrap and pita and hummus side. Both good, although not a ton of hummus on the wrap, so I was happy to have some extra on the side. Also, great vegan chocolate chip cookie.
