Sage Organic Vegan Bistro - Edit
Sadly, they wouldn't serve me the fried mac n cheese balls that I went to Sage for. Apparently they don't serve them during brunch, bummer. Instead I tried the TLT sandwich, which is made with tempeh. Let me preface this with, I hate tempeh. So why did I order it? The waiter assured me it was great and that I'd likely like it, he was right. The tempeh didn't taste like typical tempeh, and the sandwich bread was a croissant, yes a croissant...yum! Overall my sandwich was really good, so good that I actually ate tempeh. I recommend the sandwich to tempeh lovers and haters alike.

Delicious ice cream - Edit
I went to this place on a day Scoops was closed, and it was really good. I didn't think it was as good as Scoops, but still really good.
Read moreIf you handed their ice cream to someone on the street, they wouldn't know it was raw/vegan, so that's a compliment.
Can be a bit pricy, but you're paying for quality, in my opinion.
Pros: Mostly vegan, Non-dairy, Very tasty
Cons: A bit pricy

organic Vegan - Edit
Stopped in for lunch the only thing better than watching the locals come and go was the food. Grilled vegetable sandwich with the horseradish sauce was amazing. A little too much oil used in grilling veggies but that is mostly because we have pretty much stopped using oil in cooking, So now a little goes a long way, but overall that did not detract from the meal. The salad with balsamic vinagarette was also very good. Very nice casual dining with some outside sidewalk tables available.

The most incredible vegan brownie sundae! - Edit
I've only eaten at Sage once, as I don't live in LA, but OMG this place is absolutely incredible! If I remember correctly I had the Soul Bowl, which was a tasty mix of black beans, quinoa, deep fried mac and cheese ball, and the most delicious horseradishy sauce I've ever tasted.. My partner had the Hawaii burger which was also one the the best burgers I've ever tasted. For desert we shared the brownie sundae with salted caramel sauce... drooollll!!!
Read moreVERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I dream of heading back to LA one day to eat here again...

One of the Best Veg Restaurants in Town - Edit
Sage is one of those restaurants vegans wish was in every neighborhood -- fresh, homemade food served by hunky waiters in a casual but attractive setting. A group of us finally made it over there this afternoon and were completely satisfied, even the carnivores. I was intrigued by the Tuna Melt and was not disappointed. It was made with shredded jackfruit and and piled high on toasted olive bread with veggies, special sauces and even avocado. I appreciated that they just used veggies to stand in for the tuna instead of processed soy. I even found some sunflower seeds in there. The German potato salad that accompanied it was very tasty as well. It was such a large plate that I ended up taking most of my meal home. Others in the group got the Street Tacos, the Bacon Chili Cheeseburger, the Southwestern Burger, the Pesto Croissant Club Sandwich, and the baby got her Mac n' Cheese on. The spicy pickles on burgers were amazing! I was thankful my husband is not a pickle person so I got to eat his. We were too full to get ice cream but I got a Baby Cakes chocolate chip cookie to go. All in all, a very satisfying and relaxing meal.

A++++ - Edit
Gourmet vegan cuisine in a relaxed, casual setting. They serve lunch, dinner and do brunch from 9a-4pm Sat & Suns. The menu selection is amazing. It's the kind of place you could keep coming back to b/c you'd never get bored. Sage makes me wish I lived in L.A.!
Read moreAs for specific menu items, the spinach quesadillas are fantastic. The burrito mole had no mole..it was more of a red pepper sauce. It was good but false advertising if you were expecting a typical thick, dark brownish red mole sauce. For dessert, deep fried black bean and fennel ice cream served with plantains. I ordered it for the plantains but found the icecream to be mind-blowingly awesome. Where else in the universe can you get this dessert? If the 'special' desserts on the menu don't appeal to you, you can order from the ice cream counter up front.
If I'm going to be really picky my only complaint would be that they close down from 4 to 5pm on the weekends. We got there just in time at 3:30pm. They started turning people away at 3:45pm. There was a steady stream of disappointed faces heading out the door. I understand u guys open early on the weekends but if there's any way you can stay open while you're making the transition to the dinner menu that'd be a bonus.

An Echo Park vegan place to call our own! - Edit
Besides being stoked at the fact that there's now a local Echo Park vegan restaurant...it's also INCREDIBLE food. Highly recommended for a date or if you just want something different than your average vegan spots. The food is gourmet, equivalent to Flore or Elf or Real Food Daily. They have items on the menu I've never had anywhere else..everything tastes fresh! The staff is super friendly and helpful.
Read moreThey also have a vegan ice cream bar with mostly almond or coconut based milks...not soy!
After you go there..head down the Echo Park Lake for some croquet !
Pros: Gourmet, unique menu items, atmosphere, price

ice cream waffle sandwich!!! - Edit
As Kind Kreme is located inside Sage Vegan Bistro, we were handed their menu along with Sage's when we sat down for brunch. Dirk ordered an iced dirty Chai from their menu to go with our meals (which were fantastic). While waiting for our food to arrive, we checked out their counter. There's cakes and truffles as well as ice cream. All the flavors today were vegan with no honey. Yay! Lots of yummy flavors to choose from, but we both wanted the coffee nib. We ordered the ice cream for the waffle sandwich and they brought it out for us for dessert. Oh so good! I'm drooling still thinking about it. Their ice cream is so smooth and creamy with just the right amount of flavor. It's also convenient to get everything together on one bill between the two places if you are eating there too although they are located right inside the front corner if you want to just pop in for ice cream. I can't wait for our next trip here!

Probably the best vegan food in Los Angeles - Edit
I had an amazing meal here a few days ago. Chef Greg is talents beyond words. The french grain bowl took me to that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite and crys. My first bite took me to France. It was the slowest I've ever eaten a meal in my life, savoring every bite. The hot chocolate was pretty amazing, too! There is a KindCream Ice Cream parlor inside which makes this place quite a treat.
