Great Food Options for Vegetarians or Vegans Near Disneyland!

While recently in the area, hubby and I stopped by this restaurant. Upon pulling into the parking lot, we were happy to see a rustic open on the door.

When we entered the restaurant, we were warily greeted by an employee and told to sit whenever we liked. After scanning the QR code to view the restaurant menu, we ordered orange juice and lemonade to drink. One the waitress returned with our drinks, I ordered the vegan scrambled plate and a vegan banana muffin and hubby ordered a vegetable omelet.

Since we were seated near the open door, the waitress was attentive to the weather and asked if we wanted her to close the door to which we declined.

Our food arrived a few minutes after we placed our order and it looked great, was flavorful and delicious. I liked that my vegan scrambled plate came with three warm tortillas in addition beans, potatoes and tofu scramble topped with avocado slices.

Hubby said he enjoyed his vegetarian omelet and home fries and said it was one of the best restaurant omelets he's had in a long time.

Following my vegan scrambled, I also had a vegan banana nut muffin which was served with a side of vegan butter. The muffin was had the perfect balance of being crunchy on top due to walnuts and moist in the inside with the vegan butter immediately melting into the muffin since it was delivered warm.

After having such a flavorful and filling breakfast and a vegan muffin for a snack, hubby and I absolutely plan to stop by here again for breakfast the next time we're in the area.

Pros: friendly staff, large portions

Variety of vegan options

I really appreciate the amount of vegan options offered here. The french toast, hash browns, and fries were tasty. We ordered pancakes and they weren't cooked through so we asked to order something else and they were really nice about it. They brought another single pancake for free and that one was very good. Someone in our group had a vegan burger and didn't love it. Another ordered the vegan scramble and enjoyed it so it was a little hit or miss on the day we went. The staff were very friendly.

Great breakfast options for a day after Disney

This little breakfast restaurant is great!! The owners daughter went vegan so they have an extensive vegan menu! They even cook all the vegan options on a separate grill! I’ve been here a few times and have tried the vegan scramble, vegan breakfast burrito and the vegan chilaquiles! Last time I also got a vegan chocolate muffin which was also really good. They did I believe microwave it which did make the bottom super tough and was only able to eat the top so maybe mention you want it cold! Regardless everything was delicious! Highly recommend stopping here!

Pros: Extensive vegan menu, Cooks on a separate grill, Family owned and run

Delicious vegan options

This place is a gem! Friendly service & great vibes! They have a separate vegan menu & it is so delicious. I love being able to have a real breakfast as a vegan. I feel like so many places these days have like 1 vegan option and it's also gluten free. This place has so many choices! We went two days in a row while visiting Disneyland & I wish we lived closer so we could go more often! I got the vegan scramble both times and it’s amazing. I love a tofu scramble & this one was super tasty. They add soyrizo and roasted veggies to it. It also comes with super delicious has prawns and beans both of which are so delicious, I will dream about them.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious beans and hash browns, Great service

Good food but terrible customer service

I’ve been coming here a few times because this is one of the only few places that has a decent amount of vegan breakfast options. However, the wait time is ridiculous (over 45 min for takeout and an hour for dine-in. Also I requested a refund for take-out I cancelled right after I had ordered and reached out to the restaurant multiple times only to get no response from the owner until a few months later which they told me they couldn’t any history of my order. Super frustrating to deal with. Nonetheless I got my refund after repeated follow up attempts. Will not come back or recommend this place.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Small business

Cons: Wait time, Customer service

Eh...

Food: ☆☆☆☆ Lots of vegan options but the food was just ok. The menu is tricky: ALL of the non-vegan options are listed on the electronic menu first. I almost didnt go far enough to see that my only option wasn't oatmeal. There are no vegan kids items on the menu. Drinks are generous, servings are generous. None of us could finish. Wait: ☆☆ We had a party of nine. They had enough empty tables outside to put together to seat us but we still had to wait for other diners to finish. In the meantime other parties came and were seated, and served before us. We STILL had to wait for tables to finish and be cleaned, then moved together. Atmosphere:☆ There's little seating inside. The tables are damaged and have no tablecloths.

Pros: Lots of vegan options. Large portions.

Cons: Long wait. Damaged tables.

Meh breakfast

I love that there is so many options however the flavor really isn’t there for me. The pancakes are very dense and flavorless. I also ordered hash browns and they lacked flavor and were cold.

Pros: Lots of options, Vegan breakfast

Cons: Flavorless

Absolutley fantastic

Came in for a late breakfast and got a table quick. Ordered vegan hash and vegan pancakes with blueberries. Both plates were excitingly delicious. The service was greatly hospitable and the ambiance, homey. The staff were smiling and radiating pleasant energy. Would have given the full 5 stars if it was full vegan. Overall I highly recommend as I will be back. Nothing beats the authenticity.

Pros: Plenty vegan options, Easy parking

Love the pancakes

Cute place with about 14 tables, it can be a little hard to find since the sign is in the window not above the restaurant like the surrounding businesses. Parking could be an issue if it’s busy since it’s in a business-ish area but that wasn’t an issue on a Thursday morning. Staff are friendly and there is a list of vegan options on the menu itself and the chalkboard menu behind the register specified if an item is vegan. The prices are good, lower than I expected.
I ended up getting blueberry pancakes, which they cook into the pancake itself. While the menu doesn’t specify but they come with maple syrup. My mom ended up getting the hash browns and said they were delicious.
Overall I would highly recommend eating here if the menu has something that looks good or you are a pancake lover like myself.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Delicious vegan food, Pancakes

Cons: Limited parking if busy

Went today for breakfast after finding place on Happy Cow.

Had the blueberry French toast and thought ‘oh I’ll take half of it home’ as the portions are very generous. Nope, ate the whole thing... it was delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back and try something else 😊
Went back today (01/21/2020) and had the vegan banana pancakes and the vegan vegetable hash browns. The banana pancakes were so fluffy and delicious, and had the banana pieces mixed into the batter. The hash browns with vegetables was delicious! The potatoes were crispy, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. It has vegan sausage as well. Very well seasoned, and again the portions are so generous that I now have left overs for lunch! Wish I could give this place 5 stars 🥳

Pros: Very friendly service, Big portions, reasonably priced

Best vegan breakfasts!

Their vegan French toast was the best I’ve ever had - vegan or not! Also tried the breakfast tacos - a great protein packed, zippy tasting breakfast. Will definitely eat here again when we’re in town!

Pros: Great vegan section of the menu, Non-vegan friends/family can get what they want, Very friendly staff
