50 Best Vegan Restaurants in La Jolla

“Great food and service! Some really hard working staff there!“

“We met friends for dinner and what an amazing experience it was! Each course was delicious and the presentation was second to none. The service was genuine and every staff member was attentive and made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Recomiendo todo Es un súper lugar cómodo ,bendecido Su personal y su comida Es lo máximo Sus bebidas no hay comparación ,su personal de la barra es súper Cada vez que tengo la bendición de estar en ese lugar me hacen sentir muy especial Todo absolutamente todo lo recomiendo Gracias CATANIA“

“The food was so salty! The lobster bisque and the raviolis tasted the same!“

“You can pick up your pizza and cook it at your convenience! It’s so fresh and delicious, you can’t get pizza this good at a sit down restaurant.“

“Our “go to” sushi restaurant in the village. Everything is always fresh, especially the king salmon sushi and sashimi. The non-sushi dishes are quite good as well (ramen, buns, salads). Nice view and decent service - no issues at all but don’t expect Eddie V’s approach. Their model is more flexible such that different people can take your order and deliver the food.“

“Best Chinese and Mai Tai's in San Diego or maybe the US“

“Always the best service from start to finish. The chemistry between the servers is top tier. Food is always great. I rotate between the Crab&Crawfish Cake Benedict and a few others but no matter what I always get the Jurassic Pork or Asiago Chicken Fennel as a side! The fresh squeezed orange juice is my favorite. They also have a great drink menu for those brunch days!“

“Fun flavors, friendly staff, and cute little shop. Cupcakes themselves are good but not amazing. The cake was a bit dry, and to some degree there is only a good cake or not good cake; hard to be blown away by anything there. The frosting/flavors add fun options and were where the cupcakes were good, making up for the deficit in the cakes themselves. Overall, it’s a fun shop, definitely worth a try or two!“

“Delicious food, kind staff, great atmosphere. We spilled our fresh coffee all over our table and I went in to ask for a rag and one of the staff was so kind about it and insisted she clean it up for us. She then remade our coffee for free to replace the spilled one. Always love coming to the Buzz when in La Jolla!“

“loooove it here- such a vibe BUT i had to take away a star for prices. i don’t come here as often as i’d like to because everything is so expensive. $12 for the shroom milk with macadamia milk :/ i’d come 3x as much if they’d cut their prices in half like the other coffee shops in the area“

“Their ramen, especially tonkostu ramen is actually good. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is their portial is small considering their price, and believe or not I don't eat a lot. Prepared for desserts if u r having this as a meal.“

“What happens when fine dining meets meal prep ? Urban plates you nailed it. Who knew best steak ive had could be prepared fast and efficiently delivered to my door. Wow 🤩 5 stars . RFK approved.“

“The burgers and shakes here are out of this world. I had the Spicy Mission burger and the Snickerdoodle shake. I am still dreaming about that shake. Joyce was super helpful and kind since I wasn’t sure what to order. Definitely recommend!“

“Loved the salads here!! we had the Thai Crunch and Kale Ceaser!! The Ceaser was my FAV. The dressing was SO GOOD. Big portions and friendly staff! We will definitely be back! Oh and their homemade cookies 😋😋😋😋“

“Darin was great! Thank you, our dinner was delicious“

“Don Carlos Taco Shop is a La Jolla institution for great Mexican fast food. Great friendly staff and good food. I use for take out exclusively.“

“I recently discovered a charming location for boba lovers like myself, and it turned out to be the perfect pit stop on our journey. The place boasts an impressive variety of flavors, aligning well with my dietary preferences. Opting for a dairy-free treat, I chose the piña colada flavor, which was nothing short of delightful - a sweet and creamy concoction that I highly recommend to anyone with a similar taste for tropical flavors.

The ambiance of the boba shop is equally appealing. It's spacious, filled with natural light, and maintained with meticulous cleanliness, creating a very inviting atmosphere. The overall vibe is relaxed and positive, making it a pleasant place to sit back and enjoy your drink.

Moreover, this spot is notably dog-friendly, much like most places in La Jolla, which makes it an ideal stop if you're out with your pet. For those seeking a refreshing start to the day or a healthy snack, this boba shop is a fantastic option, offering not just delectable boba but also an array of healthy food choices.“

“Celebrating a Milestone for a family member, one of my favorite types cuisine....I would go back again !!!“

“Such an awesome place with great food and an awesome beach setting! Whenever I come to San Diego to visit family, I will always come here after a great day on the water.“

“good service and good food“

“Absolutely one of my favorites “Fruit toast” delicious toast with almond butter, banana, strawberry, chia seeds, cinnamon and honey 💥“

“Three of us had a good dinner in a pleasant outdoor setting. Salmon and mushroom ravioli were delicious, while the minestrone Genovese and Fettuccine Ubriache were both lacking in flavor. Portions were generous. Service was spotty: one glass of wine was missed and we had to go inside to get the waiter to bring parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.“

“AMAZING FOOD! Service with kindness and care! 10 out of 10!! Can’t wait til I’m back in town to come again!“

“Best ice cream in town and it’s open late.“

“Great flavours! Great atmosphere!! Great service!!!“

“Delicious, hot, Chai latte. Love to stop in while visiting LaJolla.“

“The Che Cafe has been a staple of the UCSD campus, and the San Diego music community for decades now. I’ve been lucky to attend and perform at this beautiful venue located in La Jolla (just minutes away from La Jolla Shores) and must say there is no other place like it. The stage is as straight forward as they come, but they also setup bands outside in the courtyard to maintain a flow of non-stop music. I’d give it less stars because the parking issue has never, and will never be fixed, but the venue is worth the 5 stars alone. It’s thanks to them that many hardcore/indie/scramz bands are able to have amazing show in San Diego.“

“I just wrote this review on Tripadvisor on 5/22/23 Title: A family run restaurant just like in old Italy! Cafe Milano is a hidden gem. After dining there for the first time and being incredibly impressed by the entire experience, I was amazed that my wife and I could get seated without a reservation. There should be a line of patrons waiting outside this establishment every evening they're open. Cafe Milano may be La Jolla’s best kept restaurant secret. First off, I love the ambience of its interior. The place is very attractively decorated in dark, earthy tones with tables covered in white cotton tablecloths with matching napkins. It is clean and very well maintained. The family members (owner, his wife, his sister, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law), do all the cooking, setting up of the tables, greeting and seating the clientele, and serving the food. Actually, there's also a family friend, Bri, who was our lovely and attentive server. It felt like I had stepped back in time to dine at an intimate ristorante tucked away in a small courtyard off a cobblestoned street in Firenze in the ‘70’s. Our dinner started with a glass of wine and a generous serving of bread. Our first course was a Caesar salad for two which was one of the tastiest Caesars I have ever had. For a main course, we both chose a grilled salmon over fettuccine with olives and capers. It was perfectly done to our liking and huge, the biggest serving of a filet I had ever had. In fact, our server offered to box up the remainder of our salmon when we were only half done, apparently because most diners can't finish it at one seating. We did. However, when we were finished, we were stuffed with no room for dessert - but Pasquale, the owner, tempted us with a piece of tiramisu that was out of this world in yumminess for which we somehow managed to find the space. I'll tell you this. When we return to place our order, which will be very soon, my dinner plan will leave room for one of their myriad dessert choices. Right now, I have my eyes on one of their three tartufo offerings.“

“Food is delicious! The views are spectacular! And service is always top-notch!“

“Tried you for the first time today and my finicky 86 yr old mom said her sandwich was delicious 😋 I was craving an Italian sandwich like I get in LA and the Stallion did not disappoint! Great 🥖“

“Chef Felix and family put together an excellent meal. Every. Single. Day.I've been going here for 4+ years and am still going back. Everytime Chef curates, weekly, a menu and will even still make you almost anything you can cook on a skillet. From flatbreads, to home made soups, and a Cubano I would fight you for, they make a bit of everything.¡Provecho!“

“Amazing food with lot of healthy options“

“A coworker ordered for our spring orientation. The pizza was amazing!!“

“Our server, Eve, was phenomenal! We dined there tonight with a party of 10 which included 4 kids. Eve was on top of everything! The food was yummy and came out fast. I highly recommend Nautilus based on variety of food options, yummy drinks and excellent service!“

“Tonys Salmon grill with salad was great, enjoyed the meal, it’s a nice place to have a meal.

Parking: Parking space here is only for customers, but there are three restaurants sharing this space, so it’s tricky to get a spot“
