33 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.“

“My friend and I had breakfast at Evarits’s Comal this morning and it was FABULOUS! My veggie eggs Benedict was perfectly cooked, with one of the best hollandaise sauces I’ve ever tasted. The fruit accompaniment was delicious and fresh. Service was on point. I even got serenaded and served a yummy dessert when they found out it was my birthday. I wholly recommend this excellent restaurant!“

“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❤️👏🏻👍🏻“

“A rare gem. Each dish we tried was exceptionally good. I have never seen a restaurant’s entire staff having so much fun working together so well and so hard. It lifted everyone up. There were abundant smiles throughout the restaurant.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hosted my daughter’s birthday at this great venue. Cathy was an attentive and organized one woman show— doing food and wine orders. All of us relaxed and enjoyed ourselves for a few hours. Cork and Fork is an oasis that feels very private and intimate. Thank you, Cathy, for all you did to make that party a success.“

“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.“

“What a great little spot! We stopped by to grab take out and ended up staying to eat inside instead. The service was great and attentive and the food was delicious! We did the fresh spring rolls, pad see ew, and yellow curry with level 2 spice. We devoured it all and enjoyed every single bite. Cant wait to go back!“

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

“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. ?“

“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.“

“It is a pleasure to go there. I start out at Kohl’s than visit Macys also new shops have opened. The Easter Bunny is there for the kids. I appreciate the Mall keep it open.“

“We live in Monterey, we spent the day in Santa Cruz area for my wife birthday, after 9 pm we were hungry and close to this location, service was good, food was good too, a mostly younger crowd was inside but a really healthy environment and prices are good“

“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“
