Free Soul Cafe - @freesoulcaffe Summary: This may very well be a favorite date spot. Fancier vegan places with great “mood” lighting are hard to come by. Free Soul Cafe has a relaxing indoor ambiance and a spacious patio as well. Their espresso/cappuccinos are so Delicious with great presentations. Though they do not serve alcohol, there is a wine bar across the street to finish you evening. They have a variety of foods from weekend brunch to Italian dinners. We were very impressed with their authentic take on pizza dough and their potato pizza. Their flavor combinations and creativity with their dishes are ones you don’t want to miss out on. We are pleased when a restaurant can make their own cheeses and cream sauces that would fool any non-vegan. We’ve been several times and look forward to returning soon.

Modern Times Brewing - @moderntimesanaheim @moderntimesbeer Summary- A Vegan Socialites Paradise. From the Eco friendly and funky atmosphere to the extensive and impressive fully vegan food and drink menu, this place is one you do not want to pass on. Their portion sizes are great with very reasonable pricing. To find a vegan restaurant with a drink menu this incredibly large is rare. From Frose’ to beer to wine and slushees they have it all. Their food menu caters to non-vegans as well. I respect when a restaurant is so confident in their foods that they do not feel the need to even mention it is vegan. It’s remarkable because this is a location that will open many Non-Vegans eyes to the wonderful flavors that plant based diets are capable of. You can feel totally comfortable bringing your non-vegan friends here to eat and drink and they would be completely blown away and satisfied with a wide variety of mouth watering flavors. Not to mention they are dog friendly, they have a pool and a vibe that is too on trend to even put into words. Style: Brewery, outdoors, group setting, date night, upscale casual, casual, dog friendly Locations (SoCal): Anaheim (shown here) Point Loma, Santa Barbara, Encinitas, Los Angeles, North Park San Diego Price: $4-14 per item Recommendations/Photos Posted: Asada Fries, Cowboi Burger, Nashville Chicken Sando, Fried Green Tomatoes, Ice Cream Sando, Donut Holes. #veganrestaurant #vegan #veganbrewery #veganspot #vegandining #vegansocial #ocvegan #plantbased #socalvegan #moderntimesbrewery #veganbbq #veggieburger #veganchicken #veganasada #veganicecream #vegandonuts #brewery #socal #socaldining #socalfoodie #foodie #restaurantreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CHZe_d8BkGg/?igshid=1fwnp7uyt5a09

Original Herbivore Summary: Whoooa welcome to flavortown. Known for their authentic “chicken” style hand-helds, this restaurant did not disappoint! Great portion sizes booming with mouth watering spices. Realistic textures and their breading was the best “fried chicken” we’ve probably had.

Loving Hut Summary: An actual vegan chain/franchise with multiple locations all over the country that turns out really delicious meals! Each location offers some different items but many are the same we’ve noticed such as their Thai dishes and “chikn” wings. We’ve never been disappointed with any of the Asian inspired items, very flavorful, authentic and good portion sizes. We ordered a Philly cheesesteak at a location once and we ate it all but weren’t very impressed lol but they tried their best. With reasonable prices and variety on their menu we always recommend trying loving hut!
