Must try! - Edit
I always try to frequent small local vegan restaurants on my business travels. Nami did not disappoint. Friendly staff, fast service, clean facility and the food was amazing! I had the breakfast burrito and I’m not sure I’ll need lunch after this! Great coffee as well. I didn’t have any of the vegan donuts but they looked great and I’ll be sure to grab one next time I’m in town.

Satisfies Sweet Tooth - Edit
Loved every pastry I have tried so far! If you like ice cream and toppings, having a Tsoynami is a must! Best frozen desert I have had in a long while.

sweets - Edit
I've eaten here for breakfast and dessert. Both were wonderful! I was so happy to be able to eat a donut - so many allergy-friendly options! And the vegan soft serve was excellent.

Great donuts - Edit
I scouted out this place from my hometown to check out when I cam to AZ on vacation. Very worth the trip! Great donuts and pasty. I will definitely be back!

For the love of donuts - Edit
I love Nami donuts. They’re deliciously chewy and not cakey (reminiscent of the good donuts I had in New York)... but vegan!!!
Read moreThere are plenty of other treats: cupcakes, bars, etc.
You will not be disappointed!
They also do cakes to order!

Fabulous brunch - Edit
So glad we stopped here while in town. The biscuits and gravy were the 2nd best we’ve found in the country, the first being Off the Griddle in Portland, so definitely order those. The buffalo wings were delicious, not to spicy, perfect amount of sweetness. We also got an assortment of donuts and a breakfast burrito. Don’t leave without trying the Soynami, it’s like a DQ Blizzard- delicious!

“Chicken” then ice cream - Edit
What a great place full of locals. After reading the reviews, I tried the spicy chicken sandwich with pickles. That beat my expectations by far. As I write, I a enjoying the peanut butter and chocolate mix on soft serve ice cream. All vegan. All delicious.

Delicious! - Edit
Easy to find location a bright blue building. Was way better than I expected. Pictured is the vanilla with banana, peanut butter, and marshmallows. The right is the banana cream pie. Both were great! **update** I went to their other location and they were way better! They put more toppings and the staff was nicer in general.

Loved it! - Edit
What’s not to like? Great food, cute place, and all vegan. I had the pumpkin pie soynami (think Blizzard from Dairy Queen). I really liked it. I was here once before when visiting and had a fantastic piece of cake. My friends got coffee. They even have oat milk now, which was a hit with my nonvegan family. I highly recommend.

Pleasantly Surprised - Edit
So much variety here especially on the weekends if you stop in for brunch. The desserts they offer vary from day to day. Vegan donuts sell out in the morning rush, so call ahead to see if they have the ones you want before making the trip out. Cupcakes are good, but the frosting is very sugary. Cookies are very good! The tsoynami I got was quite good, I wouldn’t say that either the chocolate or vanilla flavor themselves particularly stood out, but it’s a nice vegan soft serve with endless mix ins.
Read moreI also tried the tofu scramble, which was slightly spicy, and had a decent amount of flavor.
The biscuit and gravy was good, though the gravy could use a bit more flavor. The biscuit itself was better than any others I’ve had (even Pomegranate Cafe). This biscuit is hearty, herby, dense, not too dry, not too wet, and packs a punch of flavor and hearty goodness.
The tempeh bacon is very crispy and nice and smoky without tasting like bbq or teriyaki.
Of the desserts and pastries I’ve tried, the apple fritter and the pumpkin glazed are amazing! The fritter was buttery, not too sugary, has real apple bits, and an incredible cinnamon sugary goodness. The dough is the same for all the donuts really, which is quite a bit more doughy than a traditional donut, but still light, and quite airy. The pumpkin frosting is excellent, though. The cookies and cream with peanut butter drizzle was too rich for my tastebuds, so I’d recommend sharing with a friend or two. The concha I had was too doughy and not sweet enough. I found the vanilla frosted one to be too bland for me & the vanilla flavor got lost after the second bite.
If they have any filled donuts go for those! I’ve had the pecan pie filled and it’s by far my favorite donut now.
I’ve tried their pumpkin spice latte which was fine, but not thrilling.
I’ve yet to try the shakes, but look forward to my next visit which is probably right around the corner.
Pros: Vegan coffee drinks, shakes, pastries & treats, Weekend brunch, Vegan soft serve
Cons: Expensive, Sells out quickly , Busy, not a lot of seating

The soynamis are sooo good! I love the fact that they always have specials outside of the normal soynami menu.

Nami is really out of this world with their vegan food. Their bakery items and soft serve are one of a kind. I also love their brunch menu! I've never been disappointed here.

Nom, nom, Nami! - Edit
Delicious vegan breakfast food. They have something for everyone. We tried many menu items including a breakfast burrito, quiche, sprouted bagel with herb cream cheese, an açaí bowl and several different doughnuts. I left extremely satisfied and full. Their Sunday Brunch menu had me drooling but unfortunately it was Friday and we were heading back to Cali. Next time I’m in Phoenix on a Sunday I’m going back!

Travelling Arizona - Edit
What an amazing place we found out @Nami, thankx to Happy Cow, when we travelled through beautiful Arizona. It was the first time ever we found a vegan place for breakfast (we unfortunately don't have this kind of places in wallonia, Belgium). So many delicious options!! It was amazing for us! Hot and salted plates were absolutely fantastic, very good drinks, and donuts were fabulous.
Read moreI hope to come back one day in Arizona, and for sure, i'll go again to this place for the most delicious (and affordable) breakfast i ever ate.

Unhappy - Edit
Read moreI go at least three times a week and I never had a problem until today when I oreded my favorite burrito and had the wrong meat substitute in it. The worst part it that the waitress try to convince me I was wrong, to then say maybe was not prepared properly by the kitchen, it was to late when she offered a refund or another dish for the inconvenience. I like the food very much but I won't be back. Insulting customers intelligence it's not good.

DELICIOUS - Edit
Don't know why anybody would give this place less than 5 stars. These treats are such a guilty pleasure. We went at night after eating dinner next door. It was a perfect top off. I don't need to describe more; and you will go and you will enjoy!

Vegan dessert heaven - Edit
I made sure I hit this place on a quick trip to the area. So glad I did! The ice cream was good but the desserts I had were even better. Super cool place with a vegan restaurant right next door. Some parking was available and the vibe was chill and laidback.

Disappointed - Edit
Traveling through, heard great things, maybe expectations were too high?
Read moreSunday brunch ordered: Benedict Arnold plate and biscuits and gravy plate. Benedict consisted of lots of tofu scramble, little bit of tempeh bacon (which was quite tasty) and sauce on a ciabatta style roll. I expected a lemony sauce, it was not, not even a hint of lemon. Potatoes were dry, hard and.... dry. Biscuits and gravy were delish, excellent consistency for both and not too salty. Again potatoes were not good, came with a side of tofu scramble. Maybe stick to baked goods which looked good, but we didn't try; or the soft serve which made them famous.
Pros: Friendly staff , Tempeh bacon, Plentiful portions of tofu scramble
Cons: Very noisy inside, No shade for outdoor seating

Delightful! - Edit
After visiting Green New American next door, we thought it would be nice to finish off a wonderful meal with a wonderful dessert. In a word: Wow! Even if you didn't save room for dessert, it is worth ignoring that little voice in your head telling you moderation is a good thing. Moderation can wait until tomorrow, but these sweet treats cannot!
