Amazing delicious food!

The kimchi ramen, tangy and spicy and flavorful. Matcha smoothie creamy and sweet. Really high quality food.

Old Town Fave

I’ve been dining here since their soft opening (and miss the cake display!) I used to come on breaks with a college friend between classes and now only come to treat myself. My go to beverage is the matcha granita as it’s the only thing I can decide on. Between sandwiches, ramen, and breakfast options I really struggle to make choices. Some of my favorites are the Hatch burger, the Continental Breakfast, and the Panini Frittata. I also have a tendency to order key lime cheesecake despite being stuffed. The atmosphere is cool and sophisticated but relaxed and casual. On this particular visit I ordered the Smoked Ham sandwich with a side order of the Soup du Jour, butternut squash. Never a let down for flavor! My previous visit did surprise me as I wanted to have a drink and cake before my hair appointment across the street but they deemed it take out only unless you order an entree, I’m not sure how long that has been in practice or if it will continue but something to be aware of.

Pros: Atomsphere, Tasty, Ample Street Parking

Delicious and healthy food

As the title says the food is delicious and healthy. Love going there. They also allow dogs in the patio, which helps. #Veganuary

Nice flavors and atmosphere

Cute place! Pizza is definitely the star. Sandwiches are good but not particularly nuanced in flavors (taste like you could easily make them at home). Still, it's all really good and a nice middle between indulgent and healthy.

Pros: Pizza, Dessert, Vibe

Cons: Potentially a bit overpriced?

Old Town Tustin Gem

This is a fantastic find in Old Town Tustin. We enjoyed the friendly staff and efficient service. The food was the best part. I enjoyed the Panini Frittata, which is vegan scrambled eggs, Roma tomatoes, red onions, heirloom arugula, with a sun-dried tomato aioli. My wife had the Atlantic Sandwich, which had vegan tuna, capers, oregano, red onions, organic mixed greens with a house spread. Both sandwiches came on sourdough bread and a wonderful side of organic mixed greens that included grape tomatoes and candied pecans! I finished off the meal with a tasty affogato for dessert! Fantastic place!

Pros: All vegan.

One of the top all vegan restaurants in OC

I can’t remember exactly what we ordered but we had a mushroom burger and mushroom pizza. The pizza was my favorite with it being so light and flavorful. I normally hate eating crust off of pizza but this was so delicious I actually finished a whole slice! Haha
The burger had an interesting apple sauce sweetness to it that I’ve never had before. I love the ambience of this place as well as the location in old town Tustin. Amazing service too, everyone was super friendly. Only thing is they don’t serve alcohol.

Delicious lunch

I had a lovely lunch on the outdoor patio - I enjoyed the panini caprese. It was fresh and just right for a lite lunch. Even the side salad with candied pecans was yummy.

Pros: 100% vegan, Nice setting - outdoor patio , Friendly staff

Tustin highlight!

Had the recommended Curry Ramen, which was not just pleasing to the eye but full of flavor. Topped it off with a frozen Matcha drink which was perfect for a hot day and sweet treat. Definitely worth the visit if your in that area😄

Pros: All vegan , Friendly staff, Indoor and outdoor seating

Horrible service

Went there to get dessert with my family. After ordering some cakes with the hostess I asked if we could sit at a table. The hostess told us we couldn’t sit at a table because the tables are for dining only. She told us that we can only take the dessert to go & we couldn’t sit at a table. We were really confused by this because there were a ton of open tables & they weren’t busy at all….

Cons: Bad service, Bland cake

Fresh, flavorful, & inspired

A truly delicious experience! Flavors made us go, "mmmm!" No GF buns or bread, but a lettuce wrap made my alfalfa sprout sandwich fresh and light. I loved the horseradish aioli on it. Salad was SO fresh. We'll go back before we go home to Colorado!

Pros: All vegan, Many GF options, Great outdoor courtyard seating

Cons: No GF burgers or bread options

Top Vegan Spot in Old Town Tustin!

Yo! I have here 20 times and every non-vegan I bring usually comes back without me. Everything is good here, family owned and Van has been my waitress every-time almost. I am new to happy cow and wanted to get this review in.

I rotate between the Truffle Burger, Curry Ramen, and the BLT. My pic is the Curry Ramen the flavor is masterful!

The appetizers are great - love the green beans. They have desserts too!


Every dish tastes like they care about every ingredient. Go get your Vegan on in old town Tustin.
