Great food and ambience

We definitely recommended this place to everyone. The food is delicious. They have outdoor sitting and hence we can take our dogs. The food is great as everyone knows but the coffees are great too.

Kids Menu!

The food and drinks are fresh, flavorful, and delicious. As parents of a young vegan child, we were particularly thrilled to see a legit kids menu, complete with colored pencils for doodling. No spending $20 on a meal they will only eat half of!

Totally Awesome

We have eaten here many times as well as the Long Beach location, slightly different menus but mostly the same. The grilled cheese is amazing, we have to get when we come. The purple taquitos are also yummy. I have had the mushroom taco and the fried avocado taco, both delicious. My favorite is the warm cauliflower salad, it’s crunchy and a little spicy and tangy. The butternut squash enchiladas also very good. The stuffed shells are delicious, hard to believe they’re vegan because so creamy. The beets me burger is good, kids like it.

The true must have is dessert. The chaffle. It’s churro batter made into a waffle covered in cinnamon Sugar served with ice cream and chocolate or caramel sauce, nuts. AMAZING, whoever thought of this, GENIUS. Definitely a share, it’s big.

Pros: Good variety of types of food, Everything is delicious , The chaffle is a must have

Cons: Generally small portions, Pricey , Parking is awful

Really delicious but expensive

In a beautiful location, really high quality food, and high (but fair prices). Like that you can add tofu to dishes like the mac-n-cheese to add protein.

Pros: Ambience, Taste, Quality

Cons: Price, Portions

Enchiladas Rocked!

Celebrating their 10th year at this location. Great indoor and outdoor seating with a lot of to-go business.

Enchiladas are fantastic, as well as their brussel sprout appetizer that didn’t fall apart during cooking. Beet burger came with side of salad or fries and bean side came with enchiladas. A full meal for sure!

Only complaint was that we started with one server and then another server took over. They kinda of forgot about us at the end due to their own confusion.

Pros: Enchilada sauce flavor, Nice side salad with burger

Cons: Oops- kind of forgot about us

Lacked flavor

The breakfast burrito was okay, but not what I expected as it lacked flavor.

Get the chocolate mousse!

Everything we tried at Seabirds was fresh and delicious. The food was super clean and homemade, but wasn't lacking flavor at all.
The star of the meal was the avo chocolate mousse for dessert. It was decadent and rich, but not heavy and too sweet. The whip cream and gluten free Oreo crumble were perfectly balanced and it is one of the best desserts I have ever eaten.

There are plenty of delicious gluten free options on the menu.

Pros: Gluten free options

Always delicious!

I really enjoyed the warm cauliflower salad. Everything is always fresh and delicious. The staff, at times, could be a bit friendlier but the food more than makes up for it.

Pros: 100% vegan, Always delicious and fresh

Cons: Staff could be friendlier, Parking can be an issue on busy days

So Cal Taco salad

The taco salad was delicious but the dressing was a little spicy as they warned me. It was a little more salty for my taste but overall it was a good salad with a lot of variety of ingredients.

Pros: Good variety of ingredients , Large portion , Tasty

Cons: Salty , Spicy dressing

Great meal in a fun Mall

There was a brief wait, which was fine. We socialized and looked at the Airstreams in the mall. The ceviche and tacos ( appetizers) were supper tasty and made me want to try making ceviche myself someday. Their kombucha was delightful (I brew it myself, so do I judge it a bit harshly). They were out of a few menu items (also okay). I had the Beets Me Burger which was fantastic! There fries were yummy and deserts were also. Highly recommended!

Pros: Everything is vegan, Several GF options that are clearly marked, Very flavorful

inconsistant

Bland food and of course pricey. A dish is never the same twice. I would rather go across the street to Native Foods.

Satisfying Homemade Burger

Seabirds Kitchen is an all-vegan restaurant located inside The LAB. We came on a weekend evening and to our surprise, it wasn't super busy.

We each got our own dish but was able to try a couple of items. I had their Beetroot Burger (claimed to be one of the top 20 veggie burgers in the country) with a side salad, and was very satisfied. The burger had great texture and consistency, and was flavored nicely. I also tried my friend's spicy curry enchiladas, and these were amazing. They were definitely on the spicier end but were oh-so satisfying.

Parking is HARD so you may be better off finding a spot on one of the side streets.

Pros: Great comfort food options

Cons: Really hard to find parking around The Lab

A must visit

One of the highlights of my trip to CA! I got the nachos with the chips substituted for fries (the waitress's recommendation), it was delicious and filling! We also got the waffle desert and it was large enough to share with 4 people. We were there at the end of the night and they gave us all cookies for no extra charge!

Pros: Great service, Great food

Cons: On the pricey side

First visit

Since it was our first visit, it was confusing where it was located. A young gentleman answered our call and gave us directions to several parking locations and the site. Food was really good as we became vegetarian this year love to come back but we have a long drive. The owner was nice enough to listen and talk to us.
