Vegan in Old Town Tustin - Edit
This is a great place in Old Town to get Vegan food. I had the HLT, and a Oreo cheesecake for dessert. Everything was so tasty. Service was very good. Bring your non Vegan friends they will love the food.

Fresh, flavorful, & inspired - Edit
A truly delicious experience! Flavors made us go, "mmmm!" No GF buns or bread, but a lettuce wrap made my alfalfa sprout sandwich fresh and light. I loved the horseradish aioli on it. Salad was SO fresh. We'll go back before we go home to Colorado!

Top Vegan Spot in Old Town Tustin! - Edit
Yo! I have here 20 times and every non-vegan I bring usually comes back without me. Everything is good here, family owned and Van has been my waitress every-time almost. I am new to happy cow and wanted to get this review in.
Read moreI rotate between the Truffle Burger, Curry Ramen, and the BLT. My pic is the Curry Ramen the flavor is masterful!
The appetizers are great - love the green beans. They have desserts too!
Every dish tastes like they care about every ingredient. Go get your Vegan on in old town Tustin.

Red velvet berry cake! - Edit
We ordered the red velvet berry cake for a Christmas party. It was gorgeous and beautifully decorated. While the taste did not really remind me of red velvet, it was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness, moist and fluffy. I LOVED the cloud-like cream in between the layers. Everyone in our group, including the omnivores, loved it!
Read moreWhile waiting for pickup, I also tried a vegan Shakshuka which was super delicious. Definitely want to come back when we visit the area next!
Pros: All-vegan, Great customer service with easy ordering

Tasty food but pricey plates - Edit
Food is full of flavor and very tastey, but for the prices they charge I would have expected the plates to be bigger. A $15 salad was about 10 pieces of lettuce…the ambiance does not match the plate prices either. It’s a cute spot but nothing amazing. Really do appreciate the thought put into the pure ingredients but for the price/amount of food, we won’t be coming back here.

Boy am I glad I ordered here!!!! - Edit
If you're ever in Tustin, you must try @freesoulcaffe, their food was incredible!!!! I really spoiled myself since I live so far away & got the Fennel Sausage pizza, the truffle burger & curry ramen. I wish I lived local so I could try all thier other options. These were delectable. It's making me hungry just writing this review.

EXCELLENT! - Edit
Now that I'm vaccinated I'm comfortable dining out again. For the past 15 months it was take-out only so I missed many places that were too far from home to support. This was my first time back at Freesoulcafe in almost two years. It was great. We ordered from the bunch menu. We shared a breakfast sandwich and a plate of the hash. Both were fantastic. Their outdoor patio is very nice and the service was excellent. This is in "old Tustin", so it's a great area to walk around before or after a meal. There is even a cool new bookstore a block away that wasn't there the last time I visited. The location is right by the 5/55 interchange, so an easy place to stop if you are simply passing through the area. Plenty of free street parking too!

Great for any meal! - Edit
This place is great! I love getting the pasta dishes for dinner, my favorite being the fettuccini. The paninis are another highlight. I brought my non-vegan family here for a birthday dinner, and they all loved it! I’ve been ordering takeout from this place during isolation time, and they have been super accommodating and awesome!

Love this place! - Edit
This place is amazing! I recently spent my birthday here and it was wonderful. The workers did everything in their power to accomodate my large group of 10+ people and one of them even graciously brought me some pie and sang me happy birthday hehe.
Read moreI love that the enviornment is suitable for any sort of gathering. A few of the organizations I work with also host meetings here.
They have an extensive menu with plenty of options! Everything I've tried is delicious. I only wish they sold alcohol (something I did not know until my birthday party haha). Yet, thankfully, they are at the heart of downtown Tustin so they are quite close to bars and other cool places.
Would recommend this place to vegans and non-vegans alike!
Pros: Staff, Excellent Food, Nice environment
Cons: No alcohol

Good vegan option - Edit
We purchased two sandwiches to go. One was the Panini Frittata which was very tasty. The second sandwich was the Atlantic Sandwich which was supposed to be vegan tuna, but it didn’t have much flavor. When I got home I added pickle relish, which, in our opinion, every tuna sandwich must have!! That helped. The salad that accompanied the sandwiches were fresh and had a very light, nice tasting dressing.

Ok...Food was overcooked - Edit
I was really excited to try this place and ordered the highly recommended Truffle burger. The bun came out a bit dry and overcooked as did the burger. I wasn't all that impressed. The meal did leave me full - which is always something I'm aiming to get out of a plant-based diet. Overall, I think if the food had been cooked better, I would have had a better experience. I'm considering my experience an exception to the rule given other reviews. I will definitely try them again. I also got the cauliflower app which was good with the burger.😄My friend had the Carrot soup and said it was very good.
