We'll be back!

We went a Saturday for brunch with a mixed group of vegans and omnivores. As many others have said, interior is filled with light and art. We had the carrot dip with bread, cup of the daily soup which was a potato and leek, and then for entries the garbanzo bean sandwich, and the tofu scramble tacos. My partner and I had cappuccinos with oatmilk, and our dining companions had various mocktails. Everything was amazing and service was attentive and friendly.

Pros: Great atmosphere, Excellent service , Large portions of delicious all vegan food

Good to very good

I wish I could give it a 4.5. I love that it's entirely plant-based, and the vibe inside is really nice. We ate here twice in ten days. It's expensive - I live in Norway and it was pretty much exactly the same as what I'd pay while eating out in Norway... which is why most people here only eat out once, maybe twice, a month.

Over the week we tried the:
1. Carrot Dip (twice!) - Everyone, including the omnis in the group, loved it. The bread was solid and the dipping veggies were great.
2. The breakfast tacos - Not great. The flavor that was there was good, but it was a bit bland and dry.
3. Cucumber salad - Good, nothing special.
4. Grilled cheese - a small portion and the cheese is... very vegan. If you like vegan cheeze substitutes you'll probably enjoy this, I'm a bit pickier than my husband when it comes to those and I wouldn't get this again. And I eat grilled cheezes multple times a week at home lol.
5. Fried mushroom & waffles - honestly this was great. It wasn't too greasy and the waffles weren't too sweet, it's the kind of dish you don't really make at home so I'd def recommend this.
6. Opera cake - tasted old and like some of the layers had freezer burn.
7. Crepes - really delicious. I would also get these again, and liked that they weren't too sweet.

Edit: My omni parents actually ended up returning here after we had lunch because they liked the lentil soup, bread, and carrot dip so much.

Little Saint, little disappointed

I had really high expectations for my first visit here. First off, it's beautifully decorated and designed inside. I went for lunch (brunch menu) ordered the breakfast tacos which were great and flavorful. I wanted the mushroom entree and asked what kind of mushrooms were used. The server didn't know surprisingly and went to the kitchen only to report it was not available, much to my dismay. I also had carrot dip with fresh vegetables and the dip was good and the veggies were a wide variety and delicious. Portions could be a little larger considering the price. Service was decent but not quite what I expected. I miss the days of the experience where your server would guide you through the menu leaving you wowed and excited. This felt more like a grab and go cafe with someone just taking your order. I'm not sure if I'll go back as it's really far for me and I was not blown away with my choices or the cost. I don't mind traveling for food or paying for high quality but this came up a bit short for me. Maybe dinner is better, maybe I went on an off day. I kind of felt like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" when she walked in Versace. I initially was going to give it 3 stars but the vegetables were really fresh and crisp, so 4 stars it is.

Excellent multi function vegan establishment

We had brunch on a Saturday and enjoyed a bottle of wine and many delicious and visually impressive dishes. Highly recommend. They also have a farm stand, coffee shop, and sell art

Pros: Multifunction (restaurant,bottle shop,coffee,art), Beautiful area, Downtown healdsburg

Cons: Service a bit slow

Overpriced

Don’t get me wrong I love walking into a strictly plant based restaurant and will I still go and support them….absolutely. But I ate a $22 breakfast burrito that I would consider pretty average. My mom had the Caesar Salad- it was good. I noticed the fried mushroom and biscuit look amazing and something I less likely to make at home …..so I will definitely go back to try that. Also, their wine pours come up a bit short. I did not try any of their cocktails but they have a solid cocktail menu.

Pros: 100% plant based, Really nice atmosphere, Some innovative menu items

Cons: Expensive, but hey it’s Hbg

Vegan Artisan cheeses found here!

Wow, they have so many options… Rebel(Austin, TX), Nova Terra(Calistoga, CA), Sri Mu(Los Angeles), Bandit(South Philly) and more.

Great place to pick up the goods for a picnic, wine and charcuterie plate, desserts. An amazing place.

We dined in for Saturday brunch after visiting the farmers market. We shared the Caesar Salad and the soup of the day, Veggie, while drinking the Carrot Skin Tepache. Personally the Caesar salad was ok. I would have liked it more dressed and topped with “Parmesan”. Veggie soup was flavorful and comforting and the Carrot Tepache lightly sweet and refreshing.

This is definitely a must go to destination while in the area!!

Pros: Artisan vegan cheese , Grab and Go items, Desserts

Amazing wine and food pairings

What a fantastic lunch. They have gluten free breads, so nearly everything on the menu works for people with that concern. Let the sommelier pick the wines for your meal. They did not disappoint! The grassy white wine they paired with the grilled cheese elevated it all!

Pros: Delicious taste combinations, Service exceptional , Accommodating to GF folks with no issue

Great location. Farm to table.

Delicious, farm to table and all plant based. I had the breakfast burrito and a latte. Both great. And a plus for me were the outdoor tables with table service, so dogs can come along. (And there was a dog at every table!)

Pros: Good, timely service. , Fresh ingredients., Dog friendly.

Good quiche!

We came here for brunch and got the seasonal quiche and breakfast burrito. They were both really good. The quiche crust was flakey and the filling was delicious. The salsa that came with the burrito was really good too. The portions were a bit small and we were still hungry so we went to order more food. The server recommended the fried mushroom with biscuit and parsley gravy, but we did not like it. Although the biscuit was fine, the fried mushrooms reminded us so much of chicken that it was off-putting. Some folks might like this, but it just wasn’t for us. The server was really kind and offered to remove it from the bill. We would definitely come back here if we’re in the area. The coffee was also good! #Veganuary

Pros: Quiche is super tasty , Great service

Joyful experience

This was a fantastic find on our way back to San Francisco. The happy hour menu was tasty. It's a bright, yet cozy space to connect with others. We went really off script and did the sommelier's secret pour and tasting flight, which was a great mindfulness practice and a humbling reminder of how gifted sommeliers senses are! But it was a really joyful experience with large childlike tasting note cards. You will be sure to get a laugh! We paired it with the dip options on the happy hour menu which was a great touch.

Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable staff

Absolute Pleasure

As close to perfect as a restaurant can be.

Everything from the welcoming ambience to the bakery, deli refrigerator area, and seating are beautiful, clean, and unique.

Very helpful staff explained ingredients and were both patient and knowledgeable.

Fabulous, delicious food and beverages.

It was fun to share a couple items with friends so we could have more variety.

This first visit won't be my last! Though my dining companions aren't vegan, they truly enjoyed the food and beverages and want to return as well.

Pros: Beautiful setting , Fresh ingredients , Tasty, tasty, tasty!

Worth a long drive

Little Saint is a very special place, and it's worth going out of your way for. After hearing so many good things, we made a trip out of it and drove 99 miles each way to come here (exactly 99, not 100). I didn't know what to expect since we didn't book the upstairs experience/second story at little saint dinner, and we didn't have reservations. We came for the lower level. But everything was so good, with amazing and attentive service. The whole place had an upscale vibe. You'll still want to dress "nice" even if you're coming to the lower walk in level.

The Barbarella eggplant and sweet pepper korma was delicious, probably the best curry I've had. The rice served with it was a very thoughtful choice, and it complemented the curry perfectly. Forbidden rice with garnishes, crunchiness, and puffed pieces. The sharing dish we got was the farm vegetables with all three spreads. If you have to choose one spread, I'd go with the cultured cashew spread with tomato chutney. It was a perfect combination of sweet and savory and I wish I could have it every day!

A Gourmet Vegan Restaurant in the North Bay Area

Still great! Healdsburg has not had a decent vegan restaurant since Cafe Gratitude closed several years ago. Now it does. We dined with friends who are not vegan and the raved about how good the food tasted and was prepared. The Watermelon/Tomato Gazpacho was incredible. We followed with an assortment of different flavored Hummus's that were perfectly spiced and blended. Our main courses were delicious. Luckily we saved room for the dessert which was fantastic. This is a whole food organic and gourmet restaurant, it is not serving transitional vegan faire which is overly processed. This is a real farm to table gourmet restaurant!

Nom nom

Everything they brought out was delicious we started off with the carrot and tahini dip with the sourdough bread I’m not sure if made in house, but it was good! Then we split the burger and the grilled cheese , I had to question wether it was vegan or not. It was that good. Then followed by the tart absolutely delicious

Unique & delicious!

Wow! What a cool, swanky spot. A large restaurant with a bar, outdoor seating, and a small vegan gourmet mini market. Everything I had was unique, delicious, and served with a beautiful presentation. The bahn mi (GF) was really tasty, but very oily, so I probably wouldn’t get that again. Highly recommend for some gourmet specialty grocery items, cocktails, or meal!

Great food and all vegan!

I stopped at Little Saint in Healdsburg today for dinner. This was my first time. I ordered a cashew cream dip which was good but very, very lemony (and I love lemon) and the gnocchetti for dinner. I really enjoyed that. Plus a glass of wine that the bartender recommended. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for someplace kind of upscale. The seating is very casual though - seat yourself and some of the seating is on couches or plush chairs around a coffee table. Since I was dining alone, I opted for the bar.

Pros: All vegan menu, Nice atmosphere , Fast service

Cons: Pricier

Super inviting

Large comfortable space with a variety of seating options to choose from (bar, tables, couches) and great service. They have a small menu with food, wine, beer, and cocktails but also have good ingredients to make off-menu drinks. Additionally there’s a market with many more wines but there’s $15 corkage for those or any outside wine.

Food and drinks were good quality and nourishing, though not perfect. The real standout was impeccable service, staff took care of us throughout and there are little touches like tampons on the bathroom which make sure your needs are met!

Looking forward to returning.

Pros: Space is very welcoming , Great service
