3 Attempts

We have tried 3 different times in the past couple of months to go there, and they're always closed. This app and Google both say they're open, but they're not. I'm really disappointed that they just don't announce it. Also, no one answers the phone.

Pros: Lots of options , Bacon Chicken Ranch Salad is the best, Clean

Cons: They're no longer open , They're no longer open , They're no longer open

Everything nice

The food was good. I had a hot dog and it tasted like the ones I had as a kid. My husband loved the burger. The music was excellent!!! The place was clean and service was good.

Sometimes good sometimes bad

I’ve been there about 5 times and sometimes it is good and sometimes it is awful. There are good days and bad days for them I recommend their basically anything on their menu because they are all about the same thing lol.

Nice Vegan cafe

Ordered jackfruit pulled pork sandwich (wish they used a bun instead of sliced bread) my friend ordered the salty dog? I think it was called. Both very good. We also ordered nachos that I could have done without for sure. Very average. Got the brownie made with black beans! Huge brownie. Taste was very good. I’d like to check out some of the other desserts next time! They looked amazing

Very Tasty

Family of 6 went and all were very happy. Everything was really good, good portion sizes. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich really good as were the animal fries. The nacho daddy burger was excellent. Sweet potato fries were very good and uniquely seasoned. I tried the chicken nuggets which were just ok. My wife and I split a vanilla mooshake, was great. Indoor seating was small but has a patio.

Pros: Lots of choices of burgers, sandwiches , Tasty

Cons: Food was salty , Pricey, Indoor seating was small

Best Vegan food ever! Its like a vegan in and out!

Everything there was amazing, I especially loved the chicken ranch bacon burger and animal fries, all vegan and gluten free options. Lacking no flavors in this fine establishment. i was blown away by the variety and taste, with a name like black bean one would not have expected all the amazing finds there! The customer service was great too!

I love this place!

I’ve eaten at the black bean twice now and fallen in love with this place! Their staff is so sweet and their food is amazing and worth it! The animal style fries have to be my favorite thing on their menu! I’m planning on going back and trying different things each time I go.

Wowzers!

I came here knowing I would order The Pulled Porque (BBQ Jackfruit). For some reason I was under the impression it had an impossible patty, as well as the “pork”. It does not have the patty and it honestly does not need it.

This sandwich was absolutely delicious! The BBQ sauce was delicious! Everything is just outstanding! I was thoroughly impressed! Don’t forget to grab a fork if you order The Pulled Porque. It’s piled high and will spill out.

Pros: All vegan, Desserts, Parking

Great burger

Postmated a “Vampire Slayer”. Homemade “chicken”patty, garlic aioli, tomatoes, and lettuce. The burger was big! Had great flavor and was well seasoned.
Also ordered a croissant for breakfast which albeit pricey ($5.95!) was flakey, buttery, and slightly sweet.

Amazing comfort food!

If you’re in the mood for some sit down, home style cooking with positive vibes and great taste, you found the right place. The staff was great, the food tasted amazing, the house-made black bean patty blows every other one I’ve tried away. I live over an hour away from this place with no traffic and I will be coming back!

Pros: Great flavor, Good vibes , A+ presentation

Great food but they use plastic 💔

Was sooo delicious my dad had the bbq pork burger. He is neither vegetarian or vegan and he loved it! I had the buff chick as a wrap and it was super awesome! We also got sweet potato fries(which were incredible). Only thing is that they serve the drinks in plastic cups! And they also use plastic straws and cutlery which was really not cool at all!! Only vegan restaurant I know that does this 😕That loses a star from me just cause the plastic I really hope they change it! but the food was great.

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: THEY USE PLASTIC wtf

Amazing food!

They have tons of options with something for everyone! The desserts are a must have and the burgers are super good. I seriously love this place to death! The chicken nuggets are different than your average nuggets but I still get some every time because they’re delicious! Do yourself a favor a try the barbecue sauce with anything.

Pros: Amazing desserts , Tons of options , Lots of sauces hell yeah

Hits the spot

When you want some vegan junk food, this is the place. They serve both Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger. The vegan cheese is sooo delicious. Their Impossible Hamburger is $10, whereas another local carnivore chain can be as high as $19 with toppings. I also love their fries animal style. I’ve eaten here three times now and it does not disappoint. Dessert case was full, although I didn’t try any. Great place, friendly staff.

Pros: Good value , Delicious burgers, Multiple choices for dessert too

Got that nasty nasty

This place is delicious and doesn't disappoint if you're looking for tasty vegan junk food. The animal fries and impossible Burger are legit. The chicken sandwich was good and the barbecue pulled pork sandwich was next level. Would give five stars for taste and atmosphere but I'm leaving some room for improvement.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: A bit pricey and the burgers could be bigger

Soooo Deliciously Amazing

We’re in OC from florida and loving all the vegan options. The Black Bean did not disappoint! Their BBQ sandwich is so on point! Great texture, perfect sauce and slaw. I’m going back for more tomorrow! Fries were so good. My daughter tried the XXL Grilled Cheese and swore it was the best thing she’d ever eaten. Kind Cowboy Burger was also perfect! If you can’t find something you love here, you just don’t like food!

Pros: Comfort food, Impossible & Beyond & Housemade black bean patty, Dessert options.

Cons: Addictive , Pricey but worth it
