Honestly, we loved the atmosphere and the service more than the food. Tucked in a small courtyard, this cozy place is enhanced with planter pots, and relaxing live guitar tunes. Portion sizes are just right, no food waste or doggy bags. The service lady accommodated our little late request even though it was our fault. Overall, a lovely place to have your breakfast or lunch, compared to other overcrowded places.
Green Door Cafe is such a vibe! It’s an alley in the wall cafe with tons of greenery and cute vibes to match.We tried the French toast and a flatbread. The French toast (while small) was absolutely packed with flavor! I highly recommend giving it a try! On the other hand, the flatbread wasn’t for me. Next time I’ll definitely try something else — there’s so many vegan options to choose from!
Cosy dining experience with a great vegan menu, definitely a place we'd come back to. Warm and friendly staff. We had Bombay bomb burger, the penne and chocolate cake all of which were good. Getting a parking spot Sunday evening was not difficult.
The food here is SOOOO GOOD!!I got take out this week and was very impressed. The sambusas were the best samosas I’ve ever had. Bombay burger was great. Tacos were good but very spicy. Salads were very good.Overall I am impressed. We will be back. This place is a hidden gem in La Jolla for sure!
Visiting from out of state so wanted to check a local vegan spot, this place did not disappoint. Went on a Sunday evening and wasn't busy or crowded. Service was perfect and knowledgeable to recommend a few things. We tried the Buddha bowl, artisan pesto pizza, and the pumpkin late. The Buddha bowl was filling tasty dish, what I expected from it. The artisan Pesto pizza was my favorite from the evening. The sauces worked well together, and the crust was the perfect amount of crispy but just enough to make it toasted. The pumpkin Pate was a delightful little snack, very smooth and creamy. Overall a great dining experience with good food. Happy I stopped in.
This is the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to! I've tried innumerable vegan cafes in California but haven't come across any that is as innovative as this one. My friends and I tried pasta, flat bread, burger, Buddha bowl and more. Our favorite is the Buddha bowl! Do try their lemon tart as well. Cannot recommend this cafe enough!
I'm not going to lie, we had extremely high hopes for this place with the high google rating and it being vegan... BUT! It seemed like all the food (even the Mac and cheese) was seasoned with Mexican spices. The Mac and cheese was just as sour as a lemon and quite bitter (none of the creamy buttery deliciousness you look forward to) the tomato soup had unshelled pumpkin seeds that couldn't be eaten, and the jackfruit tacos were soft and overpowered again by a sour sauce, missing some jalapeno or something like that. Taste wise this place deserves a 1 star. They opened up an hour and a half late, and then the food was terrible. The atmosphere was okay, and the service nice but slow. The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 from me is because they're vegan and gluten free... Sorry, maybe the chef needs to try some non-vegan food before trying to copy things we know and love, or not copy those things and instead do already vegan food like curries or Buddha bowls.
Delicious vegan food in a cozy atmosphere! The staff was friendly, and there were so many tasty-sounding dishes, it was hard to pick one. I went with the lasagne, which I have absolutely zero regrets over choosing as my entree. Will definitely visit again if I ever find myself in La Jolla in the future.
Great little area for vegan food, very quiet and relaxed. You have to make sure to walk in the area for you can easily miss the entrance.Tried the Red Velvet Pancakes and the French Toast yum yum ? ...
Gluten free vegan heaven!!! Everything was so well seasoned and delicious. We got the Reuben, pesto panini, and the French toast. Service was fantastic and I def felt safe dining on their outdoor patio
