Tasty healthy food with veggies options

This place is a long time family restaurant, but with an equally long commitment to healthy food. They try to use good healthy ingredients, and they have veggie options for example that you sausage for breakfast.

Pros: Healthy ingredients, Tasty, Veggie options

Good food and service

Good amount of vegetarian options that can be vegan. I had the Veggie Burger (no cheese, no mayo) for dinner, quite good! And for breakfast had the Veggie Scramble (no eggs & cheese) w/tofu. Pretty good as well. Service was quick and friendly.

Good vegetarian options you can veganize

There are no vegan options per se, but you can veganize several veggies options, and they are flexible to do it.
My family is not vegan (I'm the only vegan), so it is good to have a place where there are options for everyone.
I asked the Vegetarian Club without cheese and mayo. It was really good.

Pros: Many Veggie options to make it vegan , Very friendly staff

Good food and large portions

Cafe is open all year and has expanded hours. All food is cooked in healthy oils and ingredients are organic and locally sourced if possible.

Great place for vegan breakfast— they will replace eggs with tofu scramble and have veg sausage.

Surprised!

We were looking for breakfast and this was the only place open. We were surprised to find couple of breakfast omlate choice with option to replace eggs with tofu in the menu! We selected one and asked for whole grain bread toasts without butter. Loved the breakfast and found it very filling!

Pros: Well written menu items for vegans. , Gr8 quality and taste

Don't do It unless you have to

Tofu scramble was not good although it was vegan I think... Soy latte was also meh. Would not eat here again unless I had to. At least they have vegan options but the food is not tasty

I like it!

My vegan partner and I appreciate Good Harvest for what it offers in a mostly non-vegan-friendly city. We go there every time we visit Crescent City. Fresh ingredients and usually nice staff if you’re willing to be patient and polite (a good rule of thumb IMO). While it does not have vegan options listed, they are friendly when you ask to remove cheeses and sauces. They are not perfect but I appreciate their effort!

Pros: Love the vegetable (vegan) soup and chili!, Veg pasta (- the parmesan) dinner only, Reuben & veggie Club sandwich (veganizable)

Cons: Single fryer (but French fries are worth it IMO), Veggie/rice patty is probs not vegan but so good!

Willing to make vegan adaptations

There are quite a few vegetarian options, but, it is true that there are no vegan options on the menu. That said, the servers were very willing to make any vegetarian item on the menu vegan and, after consulting the kitchen, even made us a lunch item during dinner.

My husband had the vegetarian Ruben (we added tofu and subtracted the cheese) and said it was delicious. Their version has more pan-roasted veggies and lacks the usual (and non-vegan) Russian Dressing. Still, the sourness of the sauerkraut and other flavors more than made up for it and our addition of tofu made it filling. In terms of sides, he choose the baked potato (as the only have a single fryer, which fries their meat as well).

I had the homemade veggie burger (rice-based, fried, but tasty) with good veggie toppings, including sauteed mushrooms. It came on a hearty wheat bun. I opted for the fries, despite the single fryer situation. They were seasoned and good, if a little over-salty.

The addition of great beer on tap and coffee/tea options made this a worthwhile option in a town with few vegan-friendly places.

Pros: Willing to make any veg. item vegan, Friendly helpful staff, Good beer, coffee, tea

Cons: Single Fryer, Decor a bit hunting lodge-esque

Regular Diner

Alot like a Shari's restaurant and I dont go to Shari's for breakfast... didn't have a good feeling that they would be able to make us vegan food, so left with just getting some fresh juice which was good. This is veg friendly only and probrably not for vegans but it was all we could find...so ill leave the rating at OK

A great choice!

Many vegetarian options with fresh veggies all cooked with healthy oils. Good coffee, great service this was a great choice when we drove through Crescent City on our way north.

Overpriced, Bland, Non-Vegan Friendly Food

My husband and I were stoked to find a vegan friendly place in Crescent City but were sorely disappointed by Good Harvest Cafe.

Though the restaurant had a number of vegetarian options (about 5 sandwiches, a veggie burger, and vegetarian chili) there were not any vegan options on the menu. Just about everything had cheese on it and the sandwich we ordered had mayo even though it wasn't listed as an ingredient.

Worse, the food was just poor. My husband and I both had the vegetarian club sandwich, which has tofu, lettuce, avocado, sprouts, tomato (and mayo) on wheat bread. The bread was soggy, the tofu was not seasoned, and because we couldn't have the mayo, the sandwich was super dry. My husband's fries, though tasty, were cold.

Despite the food, our experience wouldn't have been a total loss if the customer service hadn't been so bad. We were not greeted when we came in and had to stand for 10 minutes unacknowledged. The servers were not friendly, our order wasn't taken promptly, and there just generally wasn't a good vibe about the place.

The icing on the cake was the price of our underwhelming meal. Our sandwiches were each over 9 dollars- a price completely unjustified by the quality of the ingredients or the tastiness of the food.

My advice: skip out on Good Harvest Cafe and instead hit up Thai House. We went in not expecting anything and were blown away by the service and the food. There is also an excellent natural foods grocery store called Harvest Natural Foods that'll satisfy vegan cravings. Don't waste your time or money at Good Harvest Cafe.

Cons: No Vegan Options, Bad Food, Poor Customer Service
