Great local spot - Edit
Not a ton of gluten free options mostly gluten except their soup and salads which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars but other than that their customer service has gotten way better in the last year.

I’ve eaten in and done takeout so many times here I’ve lost count - Edit
My man’s addicted to their truffle burgers, he gets 2 every time and they will allow you to add avocado and he generally gets the soup of the day every day
Read moreI’m a big fan of their various white creamy pastas, including the gnocchi, I always add their chicken if it’s not included already. I also love their curry Ramen, and a few of their paninis. Alfalfa sprout sandwich & Panini Frittata. I also love their Caesar salad with added chicken.I haven’t been there for brunch yet, but maybe that will change soon. Started eating here October 2023 I believe
Pros: Yummy food, Server remembers what we want from last time , Nice ambiance
Cons: No options for delivery?, They won’t pre-cut your salad, No gluten-free high protein options

Great Food, but Fake News - Edit
I greatly enjoyed the panini , but after seeing a fake news sign that the owners posted on the hostess station I immediately ordered to go. In such tumultuous times to intentionally share fear mongering apocalyptic stories without creditable sources listed feels beyond cringe. I can’t feel good about patronizing this restaurant again. As a vegan it takes a lot to not support a vegan business.

They’re part of a cult, unfortunately like most of the vegan restaurants in OC (subvegan, loving hut, vegan pizza, sun vegan etc)

This is like when I found out Nice Burger owner supported Trump. Tough times for vegan foodies. 😕

Perfect vegan experience - Edit
We needed to spend the day in the Irvine area, and I happened to spot Freesoulcaffe on Happy Cow. It was a sunny, warm afternoon, and with two dogs in tow, we headed over around noon and snagged an outdoor table.
Read moreNot only was the service outstanding, our server, unasked, brought a small bowl of water for our dogs. That's never happened before, and I was touched by the thoughtfulness.
I ordered the FSC salad, which had a lot of my favorite veggies, and my husband got one of their burgers. One of the best fake meat burgers I've ever tasted -- apparently made with a mushroom base and nut-free for people with allergies. I'm glad he gave me a taste because that burger disappeared in about a minute.
The outdoor patio is tranquil, and in a different life, I would have been tempted to stay there the whole afternoon. Thanks, Happy Cow, for helping me make a great choice!
Pros: Food, Service, Dog-friendly!

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

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.

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.
