Incredibly delicious!

Lotus was our very first stop as soon as we reached PCB Friday before last. I found Lotus listed in the Happy Cow App. How exciting to find a menu filled with vegan & healthy goodness. This was my first experience with Lotus & now wish there was one in my town. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly & welcoming. The restaurant had a calming ambience. We were surrounded by gardens, water fountains & a koi pond. There were indoor seating & outdoor garden seating options.

All of the food exceeded my expectations.

The grilled house made veggie burger topped with sprouts, organic spring mix & veggies set the bar high for me. The chipotle sauce set it off with just the right kick. I don’t think I will be able to order veggie burgers anywhere else because they will never live up to Lotus’s. The potato salad was the best I’ve ever had. My husband (not vegan) enjoyed the sweet chili glazed salmon with zen slaw & potato salad. He was extremely satisfied & left nothing behind.

In addition to the cafe there is a juice bar loaded with healthy drink options, a small gift shop, as well as, a massage therapist on location.

If you’re ever visiting Panama City Beach, please treat yourselves at Lotus Cafe & Juice Bar. You will not be disappointed. Also, purchase a Lotus Cafe t-shirt. It’s so soft. I absolutely love mine. 💚🌱🪷

Beautiful. Inviting. Vegan.

This is a must visit for plant based consuming people.

Great plant based options available. Staff is very profound, and helps you if you only like to eat vegan.

Try their own lemonade and cookies as well.

decent food but slow service

Lotus Cafe in Panama City Beach, Florida has many vegan options. I had the seeded cheese and the special, shiitake quinoa veggie burger with rosemary aioli. It was tasty enough, but my gf’s portobello cheesesteak sandwich was skimpy for the price and service was very slow.

Very yummy, so peaceful

A great find for lunch! Would give it 5/5 stars if I could, but they are not fully vegan/vegetarian. Delicious food and great atmosphere! The perfect place to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet, especially in such a touristy area. Went here 3 times in 3 days! Be careful when looking for their menu because there is a lotus cafe in California and they have a very similar menu!

Beautiful scenery

This was a lovely spot for lunch - we enjoyed the peaceful patio seating. My husband’s juice and salad was very good. I wasn’t a big fan of my curry bowl - it seemed to be missing some flavor, although I did enjoy how packed full of veggies it was.

Pros: Beautiful seating, Multiple veg options

Great vegan brunch!

There are not many options for vegans in this part of Florida, but this little gem hit the spot! I had the vegan breakfast burrito and a latte with coconut milk. Both were delicious! Ask for their homemade vegan cheese for some added zing!

Best vegan spot in Panama City

They have a large selection of smoothies and juices, also they have vegan options for breakfast and lunch. They serve meat and eggs as well which is nice to bring somebody who is not vegan. They have a beautiful outside space to sit. If you take your food to go it comes in compostable eco-friendly packaging.

Peaceful atmosphere & delicious food

Loved the calming natural atmosphere. Great coffee and we enjoyed the curry & veg wrap (especially because of the basaltic dressing…so refreshing). Super friendly staff.

Amazing place to visit, sooo much seating.

Got a juice and the curry bowl. I think the bowl could use a little more salt, but otherwise two thumbs up. Staff was great!
From the parking to the cafe door is through a zen garden with seating areas, hammock etc. they have some kombucha and a few other small things like chocolate bars, otherwise it’s just food to order.

Pros: Outdoor seating is a must see :)

Wow! What a cool place

The Zen Garden is such a unique spot - definitely worth checking out! We walked around and enjoyed the whole area, especially the pond with the turtles and fish. Lotus Cafe offered a ton of clearly labeled vegan options. I had an oat milk latte and the vegan quesadilla, which is served with vegan mozzarella. Our server recommended also adding their in-house seed cheese, which I did. It was very good! My mom got “the works” burger and also really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely beautiful eating environment with inclusivity for everyone

Average price for a meal & a drink is around $15, not too shabby in a town full of tourist traps. This is an oasis hidden away from the hectic beach-town that is PCB, and the fact that it offers such delicious, nutritious, vegan-friendly cuisine is all the more reason one should stop by.

So good!

My husband and I got the vegan burger with everything and one of the veggie Buddha bowls. Really fresh ingredients. I really don’t have anything bad to say about this place. Took a bit to get our food but with it being so fresh i understand. Lots of options and they have a breakfast menu so we will definitely be back. It is a bit expensive though.

Pros: Lord of vegan options , Fresh ingredients

Cons: A bit expensive
