A favorite - Edit
Grain is really good, I like the extensive menu and that it's totally vegan! I don't think we'll ever stop making it an occasional outing:)

Food great as always - Edit
I have been to another branch a few times but never tried cake so had it here. Wow, so good!! Will need to start ordering more cake 😆
Read moreTheir Italiano Cappuccino was not in any way Italian. Just the foamy messy American style. Could not drink it so cost them a star here. Espresso was better.

Tofu scramble!!!! - Edit
Ate here with 2 omnivore friends without terribly open minds and they loved their waffle and grain salad. As for me, I am so glad I ordered the tofu scramble. It was excellent.

waffle - Edit
i have gone here twice: once for lunch and once for breakfast. got a chicken and bacon club sandwich the first time and waffle deluxe w chicken fingers the second time. sandwich was pretty good but there was an extra slice of toast in the middle so the ratio was off. i don’t know how they make their chicken but it slaps. breakfast platter was very light but appetizing especially the waffles!!! also very good latte. i will be back

Dont come here if you are latino - Edit
The only thing that was good was the tres leches cake and even that was just a 7/10. Everything else was pretty inedible. Dont recommend this place for my fellow paisanos. The dishes have almost no flavor. The waffles and crepes are dry. The cheese in the quesadilla tastes horrible. It all tastes like it came from a can. The chips are so thin and brittle, they break off in your hands before you are able to eat the nachos. Maybe this is catered more for people that dont like much flavor.
Read morePros: Alot of options
Cons: Bland

Great Long Beach Cafe - Edit
Great neighborhood cafe with great menu and good customer service
Read moreI have eaten their food through delivery and it. As good, but today I finally made it in to eat at the cafe.
I had the Reuben with potatoes and Earl grey tea. The portion sizes were good. I was satisfied with 1/2 the sandwich but it was so good I struggled to save the second 1/2 for later.
Our server was attentive and didn’t rush us as we were there longer than we should have been chatting enjoying a warm spot on a rainy day. (There were several open tables we weren’t making others wait)
Check them up and enjoy.

Very good choice - Edit
This has become one of our favorite places to eat. The best part is that it's ALL VEGAN. A good variety of meals, from American to Italian and Asian to Mexican. Tonight we enjoyed the Sopes and Molotes from the Oaxaca menu. Along with dessert and cappuccino. The staff are always GREAT and make this a pleasant go to vegan cafe.
Read morePros: Variety of menu options, Inside or outside dining, Staff are very pleasant

Delicious vegan with lots of variety - Edit
I have enjoyed every dish I've had here, but I keep going back to their chilaquiles. Coffees are excellent, as well. And if you like spicy, you'll want to buy a bottle of their hot sauce to bring home. They are always willing to add extra greens or make other changes you desire. Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating, but it is located at a busy intersection, so a tad noisy outside, at times.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan variety, Creative baristas , Friendly staff

The Grain Cafe - Edit
I had the French toast. Comes with a side of fruit. I had a side of oak milk which was grainy. To be honest the service was just as bad as the food.

Waffles and Tuna - Edit
Man alive I tell ya that was the best vegan tuna melt ever. Good tuna has been illusive to me being vegan and they knocked it out of the park. The pumpkin waffles...*chef's kiss*... delicious. I highly recommend going here. The folks there were very nice and friendly.
Read moreLastly... y'all... they have vegan jerky that is divine. I got the mild spicy flavor. I think im going to get some as a holiday present for my brother is it so good.
The only thing I could say is their tofu scramble was a little bland, and not a very large portion. Still tasty, but not as good as mine.
Pros: Delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner , Lovely sitting area inside and out, Fancy tuna!!
Cons: Parking is a little rough during the busy times

Tasty but mostly just okay - Edit
We came for the vegan breakfast and both ordered the breakfast burrito. It was tasty but nothing amazing. I've definitely had much better vegan breakfast burritos. They were a little dry and didn't have a ton of flavor. Not a bad place if you're in the area though.

Simply the absolute best!!! - Edit
Came into town for a vacation from the Central Valley and just knew I’d be in vegan food Heaven. Found this place on happy cow. Organic and vegan? That’s right up my alley. But how does it taste? DIVINE!!! Was in town for 4 days and decided to forego any other places and stick to this one because every single item we tried was impeccable. Opted for outdoor dining each time which was awesome. Servers were kind, helpful and amazing. Can’t wait to escape the Central Valley again because when I do, I’m coming right back to The Grain Cafe’. I truly wish the owners would expand to Fresno because my goodness, we need them!!! Had the waffle deluxe, French toast, chorizo torta, club sandwich, breakfast burrito, ginger lemonade and sun butter smoothie. Literally everything was impeccable. Even the items we took to go held up so well hours later was still delicious! Can’t think of enough words to describe the deliciousness. Seriously. Thank you for existing Grain Café!❤️
Read morePros: Absolutely DELICIOUS food!, Excellent quality in every item!, Staff is so kind and always friendly!
Cons: Only the bathroom situation
