This place is awesome, must go if you are in Rockland area

Delicious food and vegetarian/vegan meals are clearly marked. Their menu is pretty big so would recommend you study it before visiting. Adapted well to covid and had outdoor seating with fire pits and a tent. Service was fast and good.

Pros: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options

Cons: Menu is huge and a little overwhelming at first

Adapting well to pandemic

Cafe Miranda moved all their seating outdoors and had fire pits going. Our family of 4 vegans left satisfied. The artichoke hummus and focaccia was a standout and the avocado toast with roasted pepper special was also super tasty. We had 2 vegan soups, a black bean and a vegetable soup that were good, and a Tofu Jerry entree that had grilled tofu with a jerk sauce over rice and cabbage salad.

Pros: Modest but tasty vegan options, Knowledgeable staff, Good cocktails

Cons: High prices - resort town food, Outdoor seating dicey in bad weather, No labeling of what is vegan on menu

Funky local spot

We LOVE Cafe Miranda! Tons of clearly labeled vegan/vegetarian options and most of the time servers readily know of an item on their VERY extensive menu contains animal products. Even if they don’t, the head chef is vegan and I’ve never had an issue asking for accommodations. We have even been here with a local vegan dining group and everyone was very kind and accommodating.
Despite the huge menu, every item we have tried has been excellent. The Tofu Groce (without nam pla) is delightful, the hummus is awesome, and the focaccia is always perfect. Plus, huge portions make it easy to make two meals out of one!
The funky vibe and funky food go perfectly together and Cafe Miranda is truly a special place in Rockland.

Pros: Wide variety of options, Great value , Awesome atmosphere

Cons: Small indoor seating , Inside seating can be loud

Great place

Great place in a great little town. Very busy but good flawless service. The “Auntie Fluffies Pasta” was heaven. They’ll eliminate the cheese if you’re vegan. Great beer selection. Huge menu with tons of V/V options. Will go back next visit. Really enjoyed it!

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Beer

Cons: A little noisy

Lots of vegan options

This place knows what vegan means and made sure to accommodate us. We had a cauliflower appetizer, eggplant pasta and a tofu burger with fries. The complimentary bread was vegan too. The restaurant also gave us the appetizer for free because we had to wait a while for our table even though we had a reservation. A good meal!

Huge Portions!

Very busy restaurant so make sure you get a reservation or get takeout. They were great about pointing out what could be made vegan for me. They even came back to say they found some vegan cheese and could add that onto my dish. Also portions were massive so well worth the price.

Absolutely amazing!

The food is absolutely amazing! You can tell everything is made right in house and made with lots of love! The staff were excellent in explaining which items were vegan and there was even a vegan chef on staff! I got the hummus and bread, both super yummy! I also got the beet salad and lentil soup. Definitely would come back!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Excellent staff , Large portions

Eclectic cafe with some vegan options

We enjoyed a delicious dinner special of stromboli. They need to add this to their main menu, it was delicious!
There were several items on the regular menu that could be improved/modified to be vegan.

Pros: Fun environment, black peppered bread, and excelle

Cons: Very loud inside, reservations recommended.

Funky space, generous portions

What a fun space! The menu at Cafe Miranda is huge and varied with everything lumped together, and vegan and vegetarian options are not clearly noted. When I asked the server about vegan options, she wasn't sure because she was new, and said to pick anything that could be veganized. She did know that the bread and white bean soup is vegan, and the kitchen could happily accommodate requests. We settled on the hummus- with bread, white bean soup- with bread, and the house salad. Everything was very filling and satisfying, with lots of greens in the soup and tomato in the hummus . As other reviewers have noted the bread was the best part, while the soup and hummus was pretty bland but hearty. The salad was the most tasty, with a simple lemon-oil-garlic dressing. The cafe carries an excellent vibe, and it was a treat to dine outside on a pretty summer day. On the way out I was told that the chef is vegan.

I think vegetarians would probably rate 4 stars for options, while 3 stars fit best for our vegan experience.

Pros: Funky atmosphere, Large portions, Very friendly staff

Cons: Confusing menu, unclear vegan options, Outside dining faces a parking lot

We've tried this restaurant a few times and tried most of what they can make vegan. We love their fries and pizza. The other options are a bit bland. Their bread is AMAZING! Service is always good.

Cons: not enough flavor. need more options and a vegan d

Cute Diner-type restaurant

Though they do have a number of items on their menu that can be made vegan, I was disappointed that their falafel is not. That's sort of a vegan staple. The server helped me find something else. The peanut noodles were ok, but a little bland. The food took longer than expected, and the service was so-so.

Pros: Cute atmosphere

Cons: Food took too long

Fun, funky and delicious

As someone local to the area, I highly recommend Cafe Miranda. Its enormous menu provides the largest selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes in town by far. Brunch for vegetarians is fantastic with several different benedicts (sweet potato and portobello hash, breaded tomato, etc) served with either polenta or house-made focaccia points. Vegan brunch would probably be the most limited meal, but the lunch menu is available at the same time with more options. Also, ask the kitchen if they could scramble tofu or have another idea...I never have, being vegetarian, but they are creative and made-to-order so might have something great waiting upon request.

Homemade pizzas are so tasty with roasted mushrooms, greens, fried eggplant, etc. The myriad of appetizers are some of the strongest dishes and we often get two per person instead of an entree when coming for dinner. A vegan East Asian inspired fried cauliflower is one of my favorites, as well as the classic fire-roasted greens, squash and mushrooms with rustic cheese and balsamic drizzles. Pierogis and other house-made pastas are so scrumptious, along with the oven roasted polenta with mushrooms, greens, ricotta and marinara. A lot comes out of their brick wood-fired oven which you can see from the dining area.

The space is pretty small so reservations are often needed, especially in summer and on weekends. Also the decibel level can get up there in the close, funky space. It's certainly not a quiet atmosphere, but the Elvis themed bathroom and "Hippies Use Side Door" sign are classic features in town. It's hard not to find something scrumptious for everyone on their expansive, made-from-scratch menu!

Pros: Great selection, fresh, delicious, Seasonal outdoor seating on patio, Brunch and lunch are very well priced

Cons: Can be hard to get a table, Can be a bit loud, Dinner not cheap(but not unreasonable for quality)
