50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Indian Wells

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

“The Pink Cabana is an absolute gem! The ambiance and decor are stunning – chic, vibrant, and so thoughtfully designed. We came with a large group of seven, and the customer service was nothing short of outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so well taken care of.

We had an issue with one meal, and the team went above and beyond to make it right, which speaks volumes about their dedication to creating a great experience for every guest. Everything else we ordered was absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique atmosphere, incredible service, and a truly memorable dining experience!“

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

“A combined birthday celebration and a 50th wedding anniversary. This was a big night out for the four of us, and it was a wonderful evening. Initially there was some confusion with the address and GPS because there are so many places called “Indian Wells”. And the building that IW Live is in looks like a private condo building. Perhaps when it was called Frank’s Place there wasn’t this confusion! Food and service was outstanding and we found the prices reflected the quality. The entertainment started promptly at 6pm. Marc Antonelli and Maureen MacDonald (a lovely Canadian singer!). There are two sets to their program. We wish we could have stayed for the second set, because the set list would have been more to our liking — more celebration music, rather than somber Classic (opera) music and a sad song to commemorate 9 / 11. The Prayer, by Carole Bayer Sager. But the singers have wonderful vocals!
To top the evening off, the staff presented our table with beautiful desserts, one for the birthday, one for the anniversary! Thank you!“

“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!“

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

“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. ❤“

“The summer time 3 course $36 menu provides enough choice for everyone and is delicious! Our party of 4 relished every bite. And even in the heat, we were able to dine on the patio with fans providing cooling air. Thanks Si Bon for being a great neighborhood dining spot!“

“We have found Eddie V's restaurants consistently great in multiple locations. We come to Palm Springs and return here to eat every time for the service and food. A dining experience. The drinks are refreshing and appetizers great. This time we hade the crispy tune which ere delicious. The miso fish with the crab fried rice a great combo. The filet mignon was exceptional. Will dine her again next time.“

“?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!!“

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

“Great Place a PD Must 5 ⭐️xxx“

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

“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.“

“My next door neighbor, who is a full time caregiver, had a birthday in April but I am just now waking up from my sugar haze after having some of the world's best chocolate cupcakes to write a note on behalf of Tiffany's. My husband receives his after-stroke physical therapy at the Eisenhower clinic in the same shopping center and so we drive in from the Washington Street side and pass Tiffany's twice a week. No one knows how we could have missed our first visit for so long!! *****Big word of advice: Parking is easier if you go across the lot and walk up because there is constant traffic passing behind you if you pull in out front. Lots of cars can be difficult to see as there are many other businesses and I had to move stealthily and try to see around delivery trucks blocking my view. There are spaces across the lot, always. People who know me are aware 1) I don't wait in long lines for food and 2) Parking must be survivable. For my friend's birthday I wanted to surprise her with some great items she would not have time to buy for herself. I was thrilled to step into one of the sweetest, cleanest and most attractive bake shops ever. The young man at the counter was so great and helped with my questions. Did I only buy a cupcake for my friend, you ask? No, I made sure to buy extra items to bring home and do "quality control" if you know what I mean. Haven't you ever bought a big bag of treats before, taking only a portion out for the recipient? Have you not placed the most beautiful cupcakes into the fridge and looked forward to having fun later on? But not too long in the future? You have to visit and check out this assortment. Cupcakes are frosted while you're there. Only fresh ingredients we all want to see are used for these sweets, too. There were choices galore- And Happy Birthday cookies!! Of course I got one! I gave it with the cupcake. (I'm not a monster.) This beautiful hidden gem creates gluten-free, keto, and vegan sweets. You will swoon at the flavors on the labels here. I have no idea how I left the shop without two big bags but I carefully got my one big bag home instead of dipping my hand in while driving. I cannot drive by now without whispering "Best cupcake ever" and bowing my head, smiling.“

“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.“

“Great service, and food was good too!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“This was the best Peruvian food hands down made by Peruvians so the taste was authentic with authentic ingredients. My wife and I met the chef and she’s so passionate about her food and was very friendly. Think it may have been family working there every one was so polite and friendly engaged in conversation about Peru. My wife and I had the lomo saltado and I had to get the ceviche con chicharron it was absolutely delicious. We usually make stops throughout the places we visit to try the Peruvian food and this is it. The ceviche was fresh and had all the authentic ingredients it’s like if we were sitting in Peru eating. This is going to be our go to spot when visiting the area.“

“Fabulous dining Lovely Bistro type“

“great eats and great service“

“Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had!!“

“Randomly stopped in for a bite as I had a dreading 2 hour drive back home. I was hungry and cranky but as soon as I walked in, it all changed. The owner was very personable and the food was amazing, best I’ve ever had. The bread is homemade and is easily the star in the sandwich! I recommend stopping by for a bite.“

“We were visiting from out of state. They were kind enough to accommodate us to make a dish ( shrimp tacos instead of mahi-mahi) that wasn't on the menu currently.Only complaint, It was a little bit loud/ echoey We had a party of eight and it was hard to hear the far end of the table.“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great service. Yummy food. Reasonable price.“

“Mr Gonzales - we thank you for the great service and amazing authentic food!

Senior Gonzalez and the family was very friendly and welcoming and quickly made room for all 19 of us. The entire staff team was friendly with us and made sure we had everything we needed! Also it was clear his customers were repeat and he gave each attention.

We were a larger party, total of 19 of us including children, which meant Mr Gonzales had to act quickly to accommodate seating but made it work in great time!

The food?……there was nothing left!!! From the chips and salsa, guacamole, carne asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, tortas, enchiladas….all very delicious and even the pickiest eaters ate everything!

The few people in our group said they were glad we decided to stay!!!!

We’ll be back!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“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!“

“We love this restaurant and eat there more than any other restaurant in Coachella Valley . Excellent food and patio area (which it was too hot to be comfortable on on 6/15) is usually fairly quiet and lovely!Was sorry to lear that 6/15 was the restaurants last night serving until the Fall (date to be determined).“

“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!“

“Great pizza and great service“

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

“Always enjoy everything about Guillermo's. The food, ambience and visiting with Guillermo himself. As regulars there, we truly appreciate the warm welcome when we arrive. Highly recommended Guillermo's as one of the best restaurants in the valley.“

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

“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.“

“Love everything about this place! The pastries are decious and freshly baked every day, the ambiance is beautiful, well lit with a great view, the staff is friendly, the customers are friendly... OH and of course the coffee and chai! My go to is either black dark roast or a dirty tiger spice (with three shots of espresso). It's fun to hang out here with wife and/or kids, or even pull out the laptop and work a bit.“

“A fun place for breakfast. Nora was the best. Sadly, we will miss her and the restaurant.“

“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!!!“

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

“Know now to order everything at first. If you wait the lead gets long after 5:30! My quests had the dragon tempura roll! The warm middle was an outstanding contrast to the chilly tuna on top! The service is fast and efficient! Every time we plan our trip to Palm Desert we book a reservation! Stella is kind and accommodating to all who walk through the doors!“
