Terrible experience - Edit
I don’t trust the food by these owners, several former employees have spoken out that they use animal by-products in their vegan and vegetarian menu items, and rotting vegetables to boot. No thanks! I’ve eaten here several times and never again.

The spicy meetball burrini and the buffalo blt salad are my favorites! To-go mylks and juices are pricey but outstanding. Love the seasonal menu changes.

Delicious Wholesome food - Edit
The restaurant itself had a lovely ambiance with both great indoor seating and an outdoor area with fairy lights. The food exceeded expeditions and I had the nicest salad in memory as well as the staff being very accommodating with me ordering lots of sides including tempeh and tofu

Gave me eggs on top of my avocado toast when they’re supposed to be optional.

Instead of the Sanctum, they should call it the Rect*m!

Still thinking about the dinner we had here!! - Edit
I’m in love with this place!! The loaded cheezy potatoes, nachos, Mac and cheeze, lemon pesto pasta, and taco bowl were all phenomenal! And the best dang brownie really was the best! Highly recommend. Clean food and lots of great options.

Food is hit or miss, service is slow - Edit
I always want to like this place because they have healthy options. But the same dish has been served to me differently on different visits, including both the ingredients and the portion size. And it always takes forever to get even the most simplest of dishes. I will still go here now and then to get a couple of dishes I remember liking, but after I go I always remember why I don’t go more often.

Good food to-go - Edit
I wanted to give this place a dozen tries before I reviewed it. The food is really great typically. It reminds me of snobby European cafes where it is your honor to eat there. Even my chill friends have gotten angry at the staff. It once took us 15 minutes to get silverware after our food arrived. I’ve thrown take out away and I never throw food away. The concrete floors and small space make this the loudest restaurant I've ever been in.
Read moreAll of the bowls that I have tried are fabulous or terrible. Most of the sauces are good. Portion size fluctuates. I would prefer lower prices than $16 bowl that is half spring leaf.

Pros: Fresh, Dozen complex items in each bowl, Central location
Cons: No tofu and tempeh has gross marinade , Expensive, Extremely rude and lazy staff

Try the DiPaolo! - Edit
Sanctum has a variety of delicious raw vegan foods, and I am not usually the raw foodie type. I think I've tried some of their other dishes in the distant past (I only come here when visiting my hometown), but of the things I've tried the DiPaolo is my favorite and the one I will order every time. It makes me wish I could prep this sort of healthy, hearty raw meal for myself at home (to counteract my steady diet of junk food). Perfect refreshing counterpoint to Florida being Florida.
Read morePros: What do they even have that's not vegan, Delicious eats, Nice digs
Cons: Expensive for Orlando area, Parking can be a bit of a faff

Overall A+ - Edit
As a 20 year vegan, this ranks as one of the best for overall atmosphere, menu diversity, food quality, and portion size to price. Simple ingredients combined well creates a wonderful experience. Every dish had a “fusion“ feel to it. Could be a bit intimidating for newbies but my waitress was very aware and ready to assist if needed. For seasoned plant-based eaters, it’s a definite go to. I read some of the negative reviews but didn’t have any such experience. Parking is limited but that’s typical of most small niche restaurants.
Read morePros: High food quality , Diverse menu , Great atmosphere

Excellent - Edit
The food here was incredible. I had the avocado and loaded toast. The loaded toast was quite sweet, but paired with the avocado toast it was perfect. I also had a cappuccino with hemp milk that was hard not to drink all at once.

Tastes like cardboard - Edit
I went here soon after they first opened so its possible that the food somehow improved since then, but it was a lot like eating cardboard. Very expensive cardboard at that.
Read moreTher service was alright but nothing special. It def feels like they are doing you a favor by serving you instead of the other way around.
I also complained to one of their official accounts about a sign hanging up in the restaurant which used the word "pimp" and I was ignored. This, on top of the bland food, makes me never want to try this place again.
Cons: bland food, expensive

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place (with the help of Happy Cow, of course). The food was extraordinarily fresh and unique. The atmosphere was super laid back and the service was great. Will definitely go back.

My fav salad spot - Edit
I'm not a huge salad person but Sanctum definitely changed my perspective! Their salads are amazing. They have other great menu items as well but every salad I've ever had there has been amazing. I always feel great eating here physically and mentally. I love this place.

Good food - Edit
Stopped by for lunch while in town visiting the theme parks. Overall, the service was decent and the food was good. I had the breakfast wrap, but they ran out of tofu scramble, so I subbed the potatoes instead. The matcha maca latte and the Sanctum shot were really good.
