AMAZINGLY GOOD ! - Edit
We are from Texas and TBB had amazing food! we had the impossible burger and it was incredible and the infinity sauce was delicious on the burger and with fries! We as a family of 3, who have a daughter who is vegetarian, always look out for good vegetarian restaurants where we can all enjoy our meal, and this is it! We need one in Texas!

I wish there “mooshakes” weren’t cashew based, but other than that their burgers were amazing, and peanut safe!

Delicious meal! The PopChicks were crispy on the outside and a light texture on the inside. The fries (or as we like to call them "chips") cooked to perfection. The New Classic is a black bean burger with a light guacamole and "cheese". All this was a good serving size.
Read morePros: I would definitely go back at least to try dessert, Staff are friendly, Thursday, 1pm nice and quiet with light traffic

Decent attempt... - Edit
Decent menu, but some of the flavors were just..off. And the burger buns are pretty gross. At least offer a whole grain bun. I’ll support any new vegan place, but compared with the chains that have a similar vibe (Veggie Grill, Native Foods etc) they have a lot of work to do to compete imo.

Incredible - Edit
What a great place. I don't usually learn about new restaurants on Happy Cow since vegans all know each other. But this is an exception to that and I loved it.

This is vegan comfort food at its finest - Edit
This place has a variety of super unique interesting burgers, sandwiches, shakes, and even had vegan in-n-our style animal fries which had been my go-to when I was vegetarian. I’ve had the new classic and the nacho daddy burger and both were completely messy in the best way possible and super delicious. my boyfriend also got their pulled pork sandwich which tasted super authentic. Got the sweet potato fries which were crunchy disputes being covered in their “honey” and cinnamon and they tasted like churros. Will continue to go back and support this business!

Mostly Yummy! - Edit
My husband & I went soon after the place opened as we always want to support vegan places. The style inside is great...they definitely are building a model that could easily franchise.
Read moreWe got the Animal Lover Fries which were tasty for sure!
I had the Chicken Bacon Ranch style sandwich and to be honest I've had better versions of this sandwich over the course of my 16 vegan years. The bun choice could be better. It was too doughy feeling. I'm critical of bread though so I imagine others wouldn't mind. The "chicken" patty was a thin fried seitan slice. I'm wondering if I just went to early in their opening and things weren't all settled yet. I'll definitely go back to try again.
My husband liked his burger - he got the black bean patty - I'm not sure the name of the burger but it's the signature patty. I had a bite and the patty was tasty.
Pros: Good Vegan Fast Food, Friendly staff, Nice design of space
Cons: Need better buns

Why didn't you open in HB sooner?! - Edit
This place opened mere WEEKS before we moved across the country. Probably for the best though because they have VEGAN MILKSHAKES and also their regular food is delicious but I think I would've come here too often for the milkshakes. By the time we found this place, we got to come here one time. So good.

Great new vegan place for comfort food - Edit
Located in a little shopping center with lots of parking. I tried the pulled pork sandwich with the jackfruit, and the flavor was fantastic and they included coleslaw on the sandwich. I will definitely be back to try the other sandwiches and their nachos which come with cashew cheese and not Daiya 😁

So glad I found this place on happy cow! - Edit
So we were in Huntington Beach looking for a vegan bite when we stumbled across black bean using this app.
Read moreI always love finding new vegan spots to eat so we decided to give it a try.
Such a cute spot with very appealing interior design.
Standard ‘feel good’ food menu with choices of burgers fries milkshakes and deserts.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was lovely and informed us that they only just opened up a few days ago.
The food was super delicious and very reasonably priced! I ordered more than I needed to and got full very quickly. They have half sizes of most things for $4-5 like the ‘animal fries’ and nachos and even the nuggets so we felt obliged to try it all 😊.
They have a nice soda alternative on tap which makes a nice change from the corporate coke-cola companies that are pure fructose corn syrup.
The mains we tried were the ‘the buff chick’ a buffalo sauced seitan chicken sandwich and ‘the pulled porque’ a bbq jackfruit torta. Both were inhaled lol along with the animal fries which are a must.
The black bean brownie is also delicious and what a nice healthy alternative to chocolate milk & egg brownies using black beans instead. You would never know the difference.
All in all I highly rate this place. God knows the OC is starved of vegan friendly establishments. Come check it out! I look forward to reading your review too ❤️😊

So yummy! - Edit
Love love love the food!! Wanted to add another star for deliciousness. We tried the pull pork burger and “classic” black bean burger plus chicken nuggets - they are totally out of this world! So happy that this vegan restaurant is in OC! We are totally gonna come every week to try out EVERY single type of item/burger 😍
