Ok, typical selection

Update: they removed the salad bar which had most of the veg items. Still has a few items

Best vegan food in OC if you go with the market selection (not menu). Always a few new dishes and a ton of classics.

2/3rds of the market dishes are vegan, unsure of labeling so best to ask

Pros: Ingredients, Variety, Value

Lovely surprise

We ate here last night for Father’s Day. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was lovely. We had cocktails and they were great too. We had the sliders, enchiladas, and roasted vegetables. Everything was flavorful and we had just enough food. Edited to add we ate at the Orange location.

Good, just not much for vegans

Had fresh raw veggies with hummus. Was good but there was salt on veggies and extra oil on hummus that I was not thrilled about. Vegetarian enjoyed her foccacia pizza and said it was filling. We also split a vegan, gf almond bar that had ”nothing” in it, si that’s why we chose it 😂. Was yummy.

Joyous little spot on PCH

Pros: Weigh the plate to eat immediately after payment, Order from the menu for a plate to arrive at table, Vegan options

Cons: Limited parking spot next to cafe, Parking on the street a distance from cafe, Limited parking on PCH by cafe.

great fresh food

Forget the menu and go for the market table if you want vegan. Lots of cheese in the menu options so be careful. Friendly service, fresh food and some good drinks too. If they had had some vegan deserts, apart from fruit, it would have been even better.
