Friendly Place

Very casual and friendly vegan restaurant in St. Augustine. Probably the only one around. Our experience has been great. The food is delicious, and the waiting time is reasonably fast.

Covid takeout, no flavor

I ordered here during Covid. Happy they were doing takeout, but the service was blah and the flavor was even more blah. I hope they tweak the recipes and add some seasonings, but for now- I’ll skip this spot and pack a lunch!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Expensive, Lacked flavor

Delicious food and great service

Cute and cozy restaurant with many raw choices. My husband and I stopped in as we were passing through to Daytona with my daughter who is not vegan. We tried the specials of the day raw burrito and black eyed buddha bowl. Both were delicious! Great brownie dessert and smoothies too!

Pros: All vegan

Fantastic find is St Augustine

The egg plant bacon is die for. We usually don’t love eggplant but they dehydrated really thin slices with a slightly smoky maple marinade. You really have to try them. We loved everything else that we’ve tried - on our fourth is it in several days!

Solid restaurant

Happy Cow pointed us here during our visit to St Augustine. It has a casual, chill vibe and an extensive menu of sandwiches, wraps, bowls, salads and the like. We had the tomato basil soup, the tempeh ruben, and the fake chicken club. All were solid, freshly made, good quality. The server was kind and informative. Would be a regular here if I lived in the area.

Pros: All vegan, Many options, Fair prices

Great Vegan Place. Yum!

Cute cozy resturant. Friendly staff and the food was all amazing! We ordered the Mango Samosa to start. Nachos, Chicken club , and kids got the Impossible burger, all yummy not disappointed and will definitely be returning when back in the area. Only downside to our visit was we ordered dessert to go and ended up eating it waiting on our bill.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

UPDATE: Has improved a lot.

Over the years, I’ve slowly seen this place diminish in overall quality and service with the new ownership. Prices are going up, portion sizes are going down, creativity is fading, and overall a huge lack of satisfaction. And now they are introducing and glorifying all these garbage fake meats/cheese like the Impossible and Beyond burger and Daiya cheese to what is suppose to be an organic, whole food, plant based eatery. That just completely defeats the purpose and is also a little deceitful if you ask me. The old owner is probably truly disappointed deep down, as I am too. You have such a great business here that is desperate for a spark of creativity and excitement to get the senses reflowing again. Get the focus back on cooking whole food, organic deliciousness that is of decent portion without any of that fake meat/cheese crap and I’ll change it to 5-star. Seriously, you’re the ONLY vegan restaurant in the area and it’s a shame to leave such a review. Get back on your grind PMC!
Not just for the animals, vegan for EVERYTHING !!! (Health, animals, hunger, forests, wildlife, compassion, etc)

Pros: Does have raw and supposedly organic options

Cons: Just lacking that overall energy

Great vegan eats

While driving up 95 from Orlando to Hilton Head we made a pit stop at this vegan eatery. We were not disappointed! I had a Maki sushi roll and my boyfriend had the burrito. Both were delicious. We drank the cucumber infused water, yum. parking in the back.

Pros: All Vegan

Great food for everyone!

Excellent lunch here today. I had the un-tuna sandwich and my husband had the Santa Fe burger, both delicious.
Some of the reviews are complaining of the fake meats and cheeses but I’m all for that. When my non vegan friends have a choice then everyone gets to eat at the same place. This is always the #1 complaint for me at non vegan restaurants. They usually don’t have one vegan option except a plain old salad. I applaud this place for getting us all together it’s a great choice!

just overall good food

although they do have a bit more processed "replacement" foods like daiya cheese and the impossible burger, you can definitely still get great raw food (and a really good 'milk' shake)

Pros: all the food there is vegan, pretty cafe overall (nice paintings, etc), a really good strawberry milkshake

Cons: a lot of "replacement" foods

Delicious and friendly

I had the DLT (dulse, lettuce, tomato and avocado!). The rest of my party had various burgers. Everything was delicious and they had good raw options. I had a bite of the sunshine burger which was a raw mushroom nut patty—so good! We also split 2 desserts: the raw chocolate ganache pie and the brownie sundae with cashew ice cream. Both were amazing! Wish I could have gone back again while I was visiting St. Augustine.

Pros: All vegan , Tons of raw options, Lots of yummy desserts

Cons: Service is a little slow but friendly

Great Place Great Food!

Upon walking in, staff was very friendly and welcoming. The menu was easy and straight forward. My husband had the Un-Tuna sandwich in which he loved. I had the Nachos. They were amazing. We shared the SunButter Pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was delicious. Awesome food! Awesome experience!

Sooo good!

Service here was great! I love that there is such a wide variety of vegan meals to choose from - there are some really creative things going on here! The burrito filling is a walnut/pine nut pate and it’s just awesome. The special dessert of the day was sunbutter pie - so rich and creamy. All the flavors of each dish we had were nicely balanced and we were very satisfied. A must try in St. Augustine! :)
