50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Indian Wells

“All organic coffees, roasted daily and Swiss water process decaf. Fantastic quality and flavor!“

“The space is truly breathtaking, perfect for cute photos, as well as an incredible staff. Just after we sat, I swear there was three people trying to give us water and everyone was just super kind and attentive. Our server Mel as well as the hostess offered multiple recommendations for us to visit while on our stay which was super helpful. The hostess was also super kind and got us the table we requested which was super kind. Just overall great people and setting and I’m leaving stuffed, thank you!“

“Great craft beer, Whiskey flights and best burger by far is the Fresno Fig Burger 🍔 Yum!“

“Great food, Great music and so much fun!“

“The best family get away, our home away from home for spring break 6 years in a row now!!!! 💜⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!“

“If you're not familiar with us, we're "Dining with The Davids." We go to restaurants with a massive group of friends (affectionately known as our "Taste Buds"). We then order either the entire menu or the chef's favorites. At the end of the evening, everyone votes for their favorites and we create a 60-90 second video about the winners.

Si Bon in Rancho Mirage is a culinary delight that never disappoints! The standout dish of the night was the mussels and fries—perfectly cooked mussels paired with crispy, golden fries made this the top overall winner. The Dungeness crab ravioli with lemongrass sauce was another highlight, offering a delicate and flavorful start to the meal. For those looking for something light, the fresh papaya stuffed with chicken salad was the best salad we tried—refreshing and unique!

To top it all off, the mixed berry and custard tart stole the show for dessert with its sweet and creamy perfection. Si Bon is truly a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in the Coachella Valley!

“We really enjoyed our lunch here.
The food was excellent and was served quickly. Service was good and friendly.
We especially liked that there were multiple vegetarian options on the menu. They had indoor and outdoor seating available.
Beer and wine are available.
We will definitely return here sometime and we will recommend it to our friends.

Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian options“

“I read the reviews, so I had to try it. My Veggie Sandwich was so good! It is hard to find a place that still has sprouts on the VS. ❤“

“Only disappoint here is the lack of availability of menu items. the last three times we have been in for dinner, the server had to come back to the table to let us know they are out of what we ordered...Basic items and pretty early in the evening. Disappointing. Service was excellent as always.“

“Very friendly staff, very delicious food, great sushi and udons.“

“?yum!
We wanted to try a Coachella Valley favorite- the date shake.
We came across Lappert’s and decided to give them a try.
The store has a fun vibe to it. The gentleman working was very friendly and helpful. It looks like they have a very broad and creative menu, and can make just about anything that one could imagine. My husband ordered the date shake and I opted for the small cup with 2 generous scoops.
The standard cookies and cream was probably the best version I have ever had. It appears as they make all of their ice cream themselves.
For my other scoop I tried the Navels and ganach. What I really liked was that it was an orange ice cream and not a sorbet.
It tasted like one of the boxed chocolate flavors.
I would say the real winner here was the date shake. It has a very unique flavor, but not too strong. They used date ice cream and vanilla ice cream.
I would definitely recommend Lappert’s!!“

“10!!!! Lo mejor de comida peruana colombiana“

“Wonderful food. Welcoming and delicious. Tavyn was friendly and professional. Highly recommend. I will be back. Thank you:)“

“Best breakfast ever!!!!!! They took care of my gluten free needs. I couldn’t have toast but I got to taste the homemade jam. It was delicious.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and the build your own omelette was amazing along with the country potatoes. They gave me sliced tomatoes instead of toast.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.“

“Excelent food and service. Ray was fantastic!!!“

“Wally's Desert Turtle is renowned for its exceptional service, elegant decor, and high-quality cuisine. The restaurant is celebrated for its fine dining experience, where every detail is meticulously curated to ensure a memorable visit. The ambiance is luxurious, and the dishes are crafted with premium ingredients, reflecting both culinary artistry and attention to detail.“

“The vegan chocolate blondie was the best vegan cupcake I’ve ever had…it might even be the best cupcake (vegan or not) that I’ve had. The safe was very friendly. Can’t wait to get more cupcakes.“

“Really excellent banh mi and spring rolls. I tried the chicken banh mi, vermacelli noodles with tofu (kids meal) and chicken spring rolls. Everything was excellent. The banh mi was easily one of the top 5 I've ever had (I'm a big banh mi fan). The tofu was delicious as well. I also loved how they make the spring rolls from scratch.

My parents - neither of whom likes sandwiches or is a particular fan of Vietnamese food - raved about their banh mis.“

“Great Place a PD Must 5 ⭐️xxx“

“Chef Michael and staff did an outstanding job catering our outdoor celebration. The Mexican buffet spread was unbelievable and all of our guests had rave reviews. 5 stars from beginning to end!“

“We just discovered this place and we are glad we did, amazing food and staff.“

“We love this place! The tacos are absolutely delicious! And we have had tacos all over the world, none hold a candle to tacos Gonzalez! It is without a doubt our favourite “find” in the valley! The service is both friendly and efficient every time!You owe it to yourself to try them out ❤️“

“Fabulous dining Lovely Bistro type“

“My friend and I had lunch at Norma’s recently and enjoyed it tremendously. We had an ordinary salad but the warm torpedo sandwich was extraordinary. Very flavorful and delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. I’ll definitely go back soon.“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“They have a large selection of different items. Their ribs are soft off the bone. Gyros are good. Their lunch specials are excellent. Highly recommend if you are near the Palm Desert mall and looking for a new place to try. The family who runs it is very friendly and give great customer service.“

“Tommy Bahamas hosted my rehearsal dinner for my wedding, a total of 16 adults and 4 children. They went above and beyond. Initially, we were on the outdoor terrace surrounded by other customers. I asked if we could be more secluded since some of the family and guests wanted to say some words. They proceeded to move our entire group to a different section of the terrace for a more private and quiet setting. It was incredibly kind and generous of them to do so. Benjamin, our waiter was also terrific. He was prompt, thorough, and the service we received was unparalleled. The food and drinks, as always, were tremendous, and my wife and I could not be more satisfied. They even gave us a piece of pina colada cake as a celebration! Thank you again to the entire Tommy Bahama staff for a wonderful evening.“

“great eats and great service“

“Great food, nice presentation, attentive service, we’ll be back.“

“great value, friendly service.“

“We were looking for some tasty breakfast at lunchtime and we found this place on Google with really high reviews so we decided to give it a try. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, close at 2, fyi.

When we walked in it gave off the old school diner vibe which we like! We were greeted right away and let them know we wanted take out. We sat at the bar and chatted with them while deciding what to order. Such friendly and accommodating staff! We are staying in a hotel so they made sure to provide us with all of the condiments and things we needed to take our meal back.

I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was divine! It was our favorite out of everything because it was packed with flavor and they were these cute little mini sandwich bites we could all share. My parents got the eggs and hash browns and really enjoyed a nice, simple home cooked meal. My daughter got the grilled cheese and fries and she thought the cheese was a bit too much, but otherwise she really enjoyed it.

They also had pies in a pie display and these awesome looking cinnamon rolls. We visit the desert often and will be adding this place to our regular rotation! Family friendly, lots of food options at an affordable price and free parking! We will take it! Check it out next time you are in Palm Desert!“

“Food was fantastic. Some of best Thai food my husband and I have ever had. We live in New York City and love Thai Food so have tried tons of it but this was really special. It isn’t sweet like a lot of US Thai food but rather tastes fresh and has lots of complex layers of flavors (lemongrass, ginger etc). Get the Tom yum soup if you go!“

“Great service, and food was good too!“

“The food was really good. I personally don't like spice, and the hot sauce with the chips had a good flavor. The spice is just me being a wuzzy!!! Very clean and neat throughout the restaurant. The Carne asada tacos were very flavorful and filling.“

“Stopped at Shields today. We had breakfast, followed by a walk around the gardens. So many trees had fruit on them, just going to waste. Signs all over saying "don't pick the fruit." Instead of letting the fruit rot on the trees, why not pick the fruit to sell or even donate to a food pantry? I was saddened seeing all the fruit going to waste.“

“We originally came because of finding you on the Upside app. Little did we know……Wow! Such an amazing meal and awesome service! Arturo was our server and was on top of his game. The Lasagna “Bolognase” was out of this world. Very rich and flavorful. The homemade sausage….out of this world! My wife had The penne with red and white sauce. Again….delicious! We will be back!“

“The cheesecakes were scrumptious for my dad’s birthday surprise! Thank you for making it possible with the short notice & out of state request! I even attended an 80th birthday that weekend & they had you do there dessert cupcakes & cake too! Would recommend in a heartbeat!“

“Great food and they are wonderful at supporting our hometown community“

“We dined here last night for our anniversary not expecting much as we were just in Paris last month (Also location is on a strip mall). Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised of the food and service. Hubby had the escargot and I had the octopus for starters. He had the veal cordon bleu and I had the halibut for entree. Kudos to Chef Emmanuel for a very tasty French food and special shoutout to our server Gina. She is exceptional, seasoned and we can tell she loves her job. We will definitely be back if we’re in the area and recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.“

“We live in Cathedral City and Bangkok Noodles is our favorite Thai restaurant in the Coachella Valley. Always fresh and delicious, and wonderful friendly staff.😊👍 Four out of five stars..“

“Great service! Very friendly staff and the food is really good! Prices are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend trying this cafe!“

“Great service! The King Mushroom burger with 4 different mushrooms was the best! Will stop in when passing through Palm Springs.“

“The staff were friendly and attentive- the food was absolutely delicious - the experience was top-notch and we highly recommend to anyone who wants a nice relaxed dinning experience! And their cocktails are yum!!!“

“Muy bonito lugar , la comida ni se diga , perfecta“

“Love the Chilaquiles and the protein pancakes. Great service of Lucia �“

“This is a very nice Italian restaurant between the Mary Pickford Theater and The Roost Bar. They have a happy hour at the bar with smaller plates, but I prefer the main restaurant's full dishes. I have eaten here 10 times and never a complaint. They have outdoor seating when weather is good. There is a lot of parking nearby.“

“Coffee was decent. It was a little bitter, but still good overall. Definitely tasted like a dark roast, which some people may prefer. I like more of a smooth medium roast, so if you like dark roast, you will probably really like the coffee. The atmosphere is nice and the service was great. My friend ordered her drink a specific way and when it was messed up, they made her a new one right on the spot. The IW stands for Indian Wells, but since this one is outside of Indian Wells, the gentleman who works there told me it stands for I Want Coffee… which should be their t-shirt ❤️

Parking: Located in a large shopping center with plenty of free parking.“

“As a regular chaser of foods Japanese, I was so excited to discover Musashi! A small gem in Palm Desert. We were greeted by some cool jazz music in the background. There were people waiting for the doors to open. A good sign. We enjoyed sake, veggie tempura, miso soup, nigiri, sushi, and sashimi. All were excellent. Service was on point. A little slice of Japan. ??“
