31 Best Vegan Restaurants in Capitola

“I’m so happy V&V opened a bride and mortar location! I’ve been a big fan of their crepes from the live oak farmers market and just tried the location in the mall.

It was just as delicious and now I don’t have to wait for the farmers market to get a crepe. It’s rare to find food that is quick and delicious while still feeling healthy and nourishing, V&V hits the mark perfectly.

Service was so kind and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Food is fabulous, place is always packed so take a number and prepare to wait a bit. Totally worth it, stop Everytime we're nearby. Service is reliable but sometimes they can't be super friendly since it's a mad house. They do have seating and take and go food but the hot bar is the best! I always end up buying to much because I can't decide.“

“This is hands down the best vegetarian pizza I’ve ever had. Yes Pizza my Heart is great but Village Host has bubbly crunchy crust and the pieces are weighed down and soggy like PMH. The bottom is still hard holding up the Vege covered pizza! I’m obsessed w them. Little pricey but worth it as a treat. Cheese is great too! Always polite and cool people working too. More people need to know about them!“

“Peanut butter and jelly crepe is my favorite, but there are many to choose from.“

“The best pizza ever!! We always come here❤️👏🏻👍🏻“

“This restaurant is in great spot. The scenery and ambiance are elegant and immersive, with most dining areas offering beautiful landscaped surrounding and unique views of nearby river. The staff are warm and attentive.“

“Great food, great location, great host. Happy to see a local business succeed.“

“Excellent dinner – Creative dishes with outstanding flavors and top-notch service made for a memorable experience. However, the acoustics in the room created a high level of noise, making conversation challenging. Improved sound dampening would greatly enhance the overall ambiance.“

“SOOOOOOO GOOD & FITS INTO MY FOOD ALLERGEN CONCERNS NO PROBLEM! My husband who doesn't have to skirt around gluten, dairy or eggs, ABSOLUTELY loved the treats!“

“Wonderful coffee!! We will be back for more!!“

“This place is has the most delicious Thai food in town. The boba, the appetizers, and the entrees are so good and they come hot! We had the calamari, crab rangoons, drunken noodles with shrimp, and yellow curry and everything was cooked to perfection. Can’t go wrong with trying this place out!“

“Just had breakfast at this gem of a cafe. The food was excellent. The staff was sweet and hospitable. Seriously, put this charming spot on your breakfast list. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Champagne AND spaghetti?! I am so happy you can order Caruso's at Vin Vivant. A match made in Heaven!

The Caruso family is so nice and the food is just delicious, pure comfort food. The Gnocchi Al Forno is the best gnocchi I've ever had. Pillowy gnocchi in a hearty, garlicky marinara. It's like eating a WARM HUG.

I also love the Fettuccine Vodka and Chicken Parmesan. The complimentary bread with roasted garlic oil is such a nice gift.“

“Pho or Banh Mi? This place makes the choice impossible because they’re both 10/10. The vegan options are endless and the veggie pho broth is magic, and the tofu Banh Mi is the freshest sandwhich I’ve ever had. I’m officially a repeat offender.“

“I was looking for a quick bite since I work near by. The two gentleman behind the counter were very friendly. I went with the breakfast burrito, it was so good! Full of flavor and I got it with bacon. It had fresh onion and tomatoes and potatoes. It was a bit on the small side but definitely delicious, will definitely be going back to try more“

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

“Stop by for the convenient storefront, come back again and again for the top tier sashimi and understated but excellent hospitality. All our rolls and nigiri were mmmmmmm good. I have not been to Japan, but my companion has. Our meal was competitive on flavor and quality, and right here in Capitola. You know how miso soup can be a forgettable way to wait for your meal? Not here. Subtle and flavorful, make sure you enjoy some along with a memorable taste of Japan.“

“Dinner was absolutely delicious Chef Jeff ... Never disappoints one of the best dinning experiences in Santa Cruz .

“get the #9, you wont regret it and if you're there on a day they have mushroom brie soup, grab one of those too!“

“We live just up the street and finally came in for the first time. My Son and I had the chicken pesto and the chicken apple Brie Sandos. Food was BOMB delicious. The vibe is super family oriented and welcoming. The spot is super quaint and comfortable. The staff is so friendly, u know ur neighbors.“

“Fantastic vegan pad thai, the chef put a lot of time into perfecting a balanced and thoughtful pad thai sauce. They’re also very careful with cross contamination which we really appreciate. Cozy, family restaurant vibes. This is our new favorite thai place in the whole Bay Area, highly recommend it!“

“Food is really good and waiter was friendly“

“GUYSSSSSS after being abandoned by the universe and vehicular misfortune, Olive herself, the god of the garden, extended her arms of fettuccine warmly by providing the most decadent of feasts i’ve ever laid my mouth on. the breadsticks were as warm as a hug i wish my mother would give me and the Alfredo sauce dripped down my gullet with gusto by the ancient italian spirit. we took refuge in the care of our most beloved waiter, jose, who offered us refills a plenty of our delicious raspberry lemonade, soup, and breadstick. #highlyrecomend“

“The Al Pastor was dry, I like it aged and dry, not sweet. The tacos were large and with thinly sliced fresh cabbage, tomatoes and beans. The waitstaff was excellent and the chair was comfortable. I am disappointed they didn’t have taquitos and I did not see sides of rice and beans offered on the menu. ?“

“love Dharma's I've been eating here for >20 years“

“I stumbled onto this spot while on a work trip. It was lunch time and I was in the mood for a nice sandwich. So I decided to give this place a try. Right when I walked in I noticed how clean the place was, which I appreciate greatly. They had just opened so I was the only customer. I placed my ordered at the counter. Their menu has so many great sounding sandwiches. But I decided to go the REO Speedwagon and a side house salad. Along with an iced tea. I sat down at a booth and my food arrived shortly after. The sandwich had a nice helping of quality meats, fresh produce and the sour dough bread was perfection. The salad was also very good and the perfect size. Overall everything tasted great and at a reasonable price. The staff were all friendly and provided prompt service. I will definitely come here again when I’m in the area.“

“Love that this mall focuses on family events, service and experiences. Excited to continue watching all of the new developments happening here!“

“Brenda, our server, was good. Set me up with a deal I didn't know was on the menu when I tried to order my entree. Free chips and salsa. Food is Chili's. You like it or you don't. As fast food keeps getting more expensive, casual dining is an increasingly good option.“

“We love Geisha Sushi. Such friendly staff, high quality fresh fish and ingredients. Truly the best in SC!“

“El Toro Bravo was closed for 391 days following a Christmas Day gas explosion, that destroyed the apartment attached to the back of the restaurant. Luckily no one was seriously hurt!

We are so blessed to have El Toro Bravo back. The same great menu and warm friendly staff. I got the tacolotta and my wife enjoyed some taquitos. The sweet enchiladas sauce will entice you to eat the whole thing (pro tip ask for a to go box so you can save some)

The food is great and we ran into a lot of people we know so a fun dinner spot that you should leave full and happy“

“Love their outdoor seating for a glass of wine and a sunset“
