Good Organic Vegan Options

Enjoyed a vegan acai bowl here. The portion was generous! I enjoyed the eclectic interior decor. It's located in downtown Vista, in an area that needs more places like this. A welcome addition to the area, indeed!

Pros: Acai bowl was tasty!, Ample parking, Funky, eclectic interior

Absolutely incredible

This cafe is amazing in all ways, the food, the employees and the environment. It's not 100% vegan but I would say it's 90% vegan. Every single thing I have ordered here has been delicious -- I highly recommend it.

Pros: Delicious Food, Gorgeous Design, Friendly Staff

Cons: Not fully vegan, I go there too much!!

Best vegan pastries and sandwiches in the area!!

Just moved to Carlsbad and I have to say, this place kills it with the vegan sandwiches and pastries. The only down side to this place is that they aren’t open for dinner! The inside is sooo cute and I searched everywhere for a good vegan yeast donut— here it is!! Their bagel sandwich, the Dylan’s, veggie sandwich… all amazing. Donuts, cinnamon rolls, scones… drooling. Can’t say enough good stuff about this place!

Pros: Vegan baked goods, Knowledgeable staff, Cute

Cons: Not open for dinner

Cute little Vegan Cafe in Downtown Vista

I’d say this place is 90% Vegan.
There is plenty of vegan options here and they cater to food sensitivities! Everything they make is delicious, they offer a organic smoothies, smoothie bowls,toast , bagel sandwiches, salads, yoghurt parfait , cold drinks and a variety of vegan pastries.

Some unique must tries are (all vegan) :
Vegan Gyro
Vegan Bagel Sandwich with Chipotle
Sweet n spicy toast
Loaded açaí bowl
Passion fruit Smoothie
Coffee Peanut Butter Smoothie
Yoghurt Parfait

Pros: House Made Cashew Milk, House Made Granola , Variety of Vegan Pastries

So Rude!

Not worth eating at a place that openly screams at their customers. It is so awkward and on repeat...I'd rather have Del Taco. The food is okay but not worth supporting cruelty. So off when Vegan places are like this :(. Made my first Happy Cow review because this makes me so uncomfortable

Pros: Food is palatable, Stock good pastry

Cons: Absolutely Rude , Huge Wait Times , Not Worth It

Great breakfast sandwiches

This would be a great place to cater every lifestyle. They have normal options as well as vegan. I got the vegan breakfast sandwich on sourdough and the vegan pasta salad. I also got the cold brew over their homemade cashew milk. I was pleased with everything I ordered and will be visiting again.

Pros: Decent amount of vegan options

Cons: No vegan pancakes

Vegan sandwiches and donuts!

Went here on a Wednesday morning for the first time. I was not expecting much but was quite pleasantly surprised by the selection of sandwiches and donuts. I got a hot grilled Dylan sandwich, which has avocado, vegan bacon and cheese. They also have a vegan gyro wrap which I’d like to try next. For dessert we got a blueberry frosted donut and a cinnamon roll. Both were very good! They had several other donut flavors so I am eager to return here.

Pros: Vegan meats and cheeses for sandwiches, All pastries/donuts are vegan and really good, Friendly service

Great vegan options

I love having this so close to home. I love the breakfast sandwich, the Orange Julius and the many sweets they carry. It’s a favorite spot to stop and visit with my kids as they have toys and books for them while you eat or wait for your delicious food.

Pros: Vegan options, Vegan donuts, Kids play stuff

Cons: Parking

A weekly must

Ive been coming here consistently for the past year with my boyfriend. Milk Organics had become a family to us. The vegan bacon avo sandwich with chipotle agave & vegan chipotle bagel sandwich are absolutely delicious. Cashew milk is made fresh. Plus, they always have delicious vegan sweets & treats. So grateful for this little haven near our home. Always a great place to stop by on our days off or after a hike with friends.

Pros: Vegan options , Vegan substitutes , Vegan sweets

Amazing vegan options.

Amazing vegan options. The vegan bagel is my favorite. You can also make any sandwich vegan, just ask (the menu offers vegan bacon, vegan sausage, etc). Smoothies are to die for and delicious vegan cinnamon roll and doughnuts.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very tasty

Cons: Only open until 2:30pm

5 stars

If you’re a vegan come out to vista to try their vegan food! Service is always nice, and it’s clean! And the food is just delightful. I try and go everyday! My favorite sandwich is the vegan Dylan. My favorite drink has to be PB & J with a scoop off pea protein. Although I rarely get them, the donuts and treats are always good. Check it out!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great food, Great service

Smoothies and Doughside Donuts

I go here at least once a week to get a passion fruit smoothie (made with their house made nut milk) and Doughside vegan donuts. They’re super friendly and accommodating to me being my own glassware for smoothies. Only downfall, they’re dreadfully pricy. My smoothie runs around $7 and each donut is $4/$5 :(

Pros: Local, Accommodating

Cons: Expensive

Small gem

Despite a limited number of vegan sandwiches they are really good. Their specially appears to be vegan donuts. Most other vegan places have relatively dry baked goods, but theirs are delicious and MOIST! They have limited hours, but they are worth the trip.

Pros: Moist baked goods, Delicious sandwiches, Friendly

Cons: Not open for dinner
