50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Costa Mesa

“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“Birdie’s Açaí bowl is my absolute favorite, hands down. Unlike most other places that use premade sorbet, Birdie actually blends the berries. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the peanut butter Açaí bowl; I get it almost every day.“

“We absolutely love this place; the food, the people, and the prices couldn’t be better. I am vegetarian and my partner is not, yet these vegan options are as close to their traditional counterparts as anyone could hope for. My fav is the asada fries. They also have amazing horchata!“

“Really great ice cream and so many choices also there’s a menu kist in case you can’t decide 😉“

“Pre dinner drinks at the bar were excellent. My wife enjoyed the warm up drinks. Front hosts were very friendly and ensured that our table was ready. Dinner was very good. My wife ordered the pork plate and i ordered the crunchy tuna salad. Our waitress was also attentive.“

“Absolutely delicious food and incredible service!“

“Highly recommend! We can't say enough good things about this restaurant. From welcoming us, helping us decide what to eat/drink, and the pace of the dinner, Gabrielle made the experience. He is now our favorite waiter of all time. The noise level was perfect; quiet enough to hear each other talk, but not to quiet that everyone can hear conversations from near by tables. The food didn't disappoint. Everything were ordered brought new and exciting flavors. The charcuterie board and artichoke were particularly the best we've had. In a city with incredible food, this is one we will routinely visit and recommend. Thanks for the incredible food and experience.“

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“Honestly AMAZING! I was skeptical at first because it was in an office space but MAN that breakfast burrito was soooooo good! Exactly what I wanted. Light, good amount of meat and cheese and not greasy. I got a Vietnamese coffee to go with it and it was also delicious! I will be coming back :)“

“Very good“

“Very delicious food ❤️Friendly staff❤️“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

“All the tacos are amazing here. Never had a bad experience. The service was solid, didn’t have to wait long for food on a busy night. The ambiance was relaxing and inviting.

Very clean restaurant. Highly recommend if you’re in Costa Mesa and looking for a solid taco.“

“Fantastic service with very a friendly and attentive staff.
Went for my son's birthday as he was craving shawarma. He got the lamb and his girlfriend got the beef shawarma. Both of them said it was very tasty.

I had the chicken curry stew and have leftovers. It came with a Greek green salad and basmati rice. So delicious and such deep flavors.

We'd come back again for sure and since my son and his girlfriend live in the area, they are adding it to their spots too.

Highly recommend it.“

“Wow everything we tried was top notch and service was amazing. Sesame tofu was a pleasant surprise that had everyone wanting more. Shabu shabu udon was seasoned to perfection and it even came with ponzu for the meat! Nabeyaki udon was spot on as well. You can tell they take care to make the dashi very well. Tempura chicken curry udon broth was also not too thick and not too salty, which was very pleasant too. Of course the chicken kaarage was super well seasoned and not heavily battered. Perfection. I’d love to come back to try more. Very few places do udon so well.“

“Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, CA 📍hands down 10/10, food and experience. We stopped in here after the wonderful owner, Kurt, invited us down to try his delicious sandwiches! And safe to say we made the right choice. These sandwiches are huge and loaded with fresh ingredients. This location has been here since 2013, however beach hut has been around since the 80’s. They even add cream cheese to some of their sandwiches! 😋 The staff was wonderful, including the owner Kurt. You are missing out if you don’t stop in to get a sandwhich, tell them coco sent you!“
