“Free Spirited Bar is an absolute gem. It is incredibly refreshing to walk into a restaurant where the entire menu is vegan by default (they do offer an option to add halal chicken if desired), a total 180 from the usual experience of hunting for that one token plant-based option.
As a group with diverse dietary needs, we were blown away by how seamlessly accommodating they were. We ordered the Alfredo pasta with mushrooms, the marinara pasta, and the buttered scallops, finishing off with the Dirt Coupe mousse for dessert. Every single dish was amazing. The pasta is made in house, and most menu items are made from scratch. A special shout out goes to the gluten-free bread, it was so outstanding we completely forgot it was gluten-free.
It is a sober bar, they don't even have alcohol in their vanilla extract. However, their non-alcoholic cocktail list is extensive. We tried about eight different drinks among us, and each one featured incredibly unique flavor combinations and beautiful presentation.
The owners are so sweet and clearly understand dietary restrictions on a personal level. They took the time to patiently explain everything and made us feel completely at home. I don't live locally, but you can bet Free Spirited Bar will be my go-to spot anytime I’m in town!
Forgot to add they are dogs friendly and will even bring you out a water bowl for them.“

“I wish I could leave 1,000 reviews! 100/10 I do recommend! The food was absolutely amazing and beautiful! It was truly the first restaurant I felt safe to eat at in LA living with celiac! The service was absolutely amazing and the restaurant was beautiful! I wish there was one closer to home! Let me speak it into existence! Please bring this restaurant closer to Maiden NC!“

“My go to breakfast spot. Love how vegan friendly it is and on a beautiful LA day it’s such a gorgeous spot to sit outside and talk with friends. The steak sandwich and breakfast crunch wrap are my current favs but it’s hard to pick when everything is so good!“

“Pretty good option, I was so glad they have tons of vegan options! This is a great place
to eat if you are vegan but have a meat eating friend they have something for everyone. I just got a bahn mi but hope to come back for more. It tasted way better than the pic I took. Service was a little slow but supposedly they make everything from scratch.“

“This bakery is such a dangerous place if you love pastries because everything looks amazing the moment you walk in. There’s a huge variety of baked goods to choose from, and it honestly feels hard to leave with just one thing.
Everything I tried tasted fresh and homemade, with that perfect balance where the pastries feel rich and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell they put real care into both the flavor and presentation.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great place to stop for coffee and something sweet. Definitely one of those spots I’d happily come back to whenever I’m craving good pastries in LA“

“Today I came in to try hello you’re welcome and I am so happy that I did. I’m glad this coffee shop popped up on my TikTok fyp. The staff is very friendly. The cashier is very welcoming and attentive. She made you feel like you were a close friend, it’s my bday week and she over heard and put a candle on my strawberry donut which I think is very thoughtful of her. The pastries are scrumptious. The ice vanilla latte was very good they garnish it with cinnamon. Not too bitter not to sweet just right. I will definitely come back. I love the 70s wallpaper, retro look inside. The vintage fish ware takes you back.“

“Casual coffee / tea shop that also has specialty pastries. Highly recommend their Espresso Cloud iced. It's delish. Also recommend trying the Black Sesame Dark Chocolate Cookie, the Milk Cream Bun, and the Yuja Kumquat Tart; all three are very delish and not too sweet.“

“The appetizers were great, escargot was the star of the day. Love the garlic parsley butter sauce that came with it.
Entrees were decent. Had the 1/2 roasted chicken which was amazing. The filet mignon was pretty moyen (mid). We paid an extra $5 upgrade for truffle fries, but they were really soggy and underseasoned. Recommend heavily salting the steak and fries before you eat.
The bread basket was bad. Expected fresh bread, but they were really crusty and burnt. Dissapointing for a french bistrot.
Overall, the environment was a 5/5 but as a foodie, I can only give the food at most a 3/5.“

“One of my favorite spots for vegan breakfast. The atmosphere, staff, and food are all absolutely next level. I always bring my parents here when they visit, and even though they aren’t vegan and I am, they still rave about their meals every time.“

“Amazing food and service, everything gluten-free. I couldn't find celiac-friendly sushi while I was in Japan a few months ago, so it was even more pleasing. Cannot recommend enough.
I ordered a set and after trying some food ordered an extra sushi roll to-go.“

“Our party came minutes before brunch ended and we were glad we made it because their eggs benedict was amazing. The apple butter was so good I wanted to bring some home but the kitchen only makes a small batch with different fruit every day :(“

“Paul is very nice and made me feel so welcomed! He remembered me even though I've only been there once. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. If I recall correctly, he said that the strawberry cake ball, coffee cake, and a few others were popular picks.
There is only outdoor sidewalk seating (a total of 3 small tables with 2 seats each). The interior is tiny, and it carries the feel of a quick in-and-out pickup store. It's also right across the street from Pasadena's Central Park if you're looking for a stroll while you eat.
It's very transit-accessible. It's a 5 minute walk from the A line Del Mar station.
death by chocolate cookie ($3.85) - It's just a typical double chocolate cookie! It's a little gritty and dry (maybe it's gluten free?) but still delicious nonetheless.
coffee cake ($5.88) - sweet, with a flavor of cinnamon (not in an overpowering way). If you enjoy coffee cake, definitely get this, as vegan coffee cake is a rarity in Pasadena and LA.
ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - honestly, i think this was a little too sweet for me. The ice cream itself was plain vanilla soft serve, but when sandwiched by two entire chocolate chip cookies, I think the sweetness can be overpowering. Keep in mind that it also melts very fast (since it has the consistency of soft serve) and this makes it hard to keep the whole sandwich in shape. If you do not plan to eat it right away, I would not recommend getting this as it'll melt in a mere minute.“

“The chocolate 2 layer cake with chocolate icing (or with vanilla icing, but the chocolate icing is the best) and sprinkles is INCREDIBLE. I'm normally not impressed by vegan cakes, but this one is genuinely so good. I'd serve it to anyone confidently!!
I order it every year for my bday and my friend's bday. It's the best vegan cake I've had in LA.
Two pics are below - chocolate icing (with a train on top per request) and vanilla icing (with sprinkles covering the cake).“
