Favorite local vegan spot - Edit
We love Freesoulcaffe! Locates in the heart of old town Tustin, we love this restaurant! The vibe is chill and calm, no loud music playing, indoor and outdoor seating.

Pros: Many delicious options , Great for brunch and dinner, Vegan pizza
Cons: Pricy

Delish every time! 😋 - Edit
Everything is so delicious and impressive! You can tell the chefs put a lot of time and effort into creating their recipes and plating their dishes. My fiancé and I have come here a few times because it’s so good. We also like bringing omnivores here — they’re always blown away by the food! #Veganuary

Everything is great! - Edit
I have been to the restaurant multiple times. Never disappointed. There is a rosemary potato pizza that is really yummy. I have also enjoyed their BLT. Salads are good. All vegan makes it hard to decide!! Note: Doesn’t serve alcohol.

Old Town Fave - Edit
I’ve been dining here since their soft opening (and miss the cake display!) I used to come on breaks with a college friend between classes and now only come to treat myself. My go to beverage is the matcha granita as it’s the only thing I can decide on. Between sandwiches, ramen, and breakfast options I really struggle to make choices. Some of my favorites are the Hatch burger, the Continental Breakfast, and the Panini Frittata. I also have a tendency to order key lime cheesecake despite being stuffed. The atmosphere is cool and sophisticated but relaxed and casual. On this particular visit I ordered the Smoked Ham sandwich with a side order of the Soup du Jour, butternut squash. Never a let down for flavor! My previous visit did surprise me as I wanted to have a drink and cake before my hair appointment across the street but they deemed it take out only unless you order an entree, I’m not sure how long that has been in practice or if it will continue but something to be aware of.

Nice flavors and atmosphere - Edit
Cute place! Pizza is definitely the star. Sandwiches are good but not particularly nuanced in flavors (taste like you could easily make them at home). Still, it's all really good and a nice middle between indulgent and healthy.

Cons: Potentially a bit overpriced?

Old Town Tustin Gem - Edit
This is a fantastic find in Old Town Tustin. We enjoyed the friendly staff and efficient service. The food was the best part. I enjoyed the Panini Frittata, which is vegan scrambled eggs, Roma tomatoes, red onions, heirloom arugula, with a sun-dried tomato aioli. My wife had the Atlantic Sandwich, which had vegan tuna, capers, oregano, red onions, organic mixed greens with a house spread. Both sandwiches came on sourdough bread and a wonderful side of organic mixed greens that included grape tomatoes and candied pecans! I finished off the meal with a tasty affogato for dessert! Fantastic place!
Read morePros: All vegan.

One of the top all vegan restaurants in OC - Edit
I can’t remember exactly what we ordered but we had a mushroom burger and mushroom pizza. The pizza was my favorite with it being so light and flavorful. I normally hate eating crust off of pizza but this was so delicious I actually finished a whole slice! Haha
Read moreThe burger had an interesting apple sauce sweetness to it that I’ve never had before. I love the ambience of this place as well as the location in old town Tustin. Amazing service too, everyone was super friendly. Only thing is they don’t serve alcohol.
