50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lagunitas

“Great food, great service and reasonable prices for the area. Had the chicken tikka masala, and would order it again! Medium spiciness and found it to be on the milder side of medium.

Arti made us feel at home, and took care of us, even when they were getting takeout orders persistently.

The ginger ale has a spicy taste and you can really taste the ginger. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re expecting a soda that tastes like Canada Dry. The mango lassi drinks in the fridge are really good, and I don’t generally eat mangos.

Recommend coming hungry after a hike or day at the beach!“

“Amazing place all the way around 🙌🏼“

“My go-to when I'm in town! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!“

“What a hidden gem! We stopped in for a few small plates and dessert. The Buffalo Cali wings are the best!“

“Love most of all is its quiet ,clean , friendly ,cozy ,country ambience . Having early breakfast or brunch there is a big treat for me, every time. It is also a perfect place for intimate get together with friends or family alike to unwind or just relax. It goes without saying , I love their menu offerings.Muy delicioso!!!“

“his is hands-down the best ice cream spot in the area. It’s a quintessential local gem—tiny, charming, and always worth the wait in line.

What sets them apart is the quality of their organic, small-batch flavors. The Vanilla Honey Lavender is an absolute must-try; you can tell they use real, high-quality lavender. Their housemade waffle cones are the best I’ve ever had—crispy, fresh, and they smell amazing from a block away.

I also love their commitment to being waste-free by using stainless bowls for those eating there. Just a heads-up for newcomers: it is cash or local check only, so come prepared! It’s the perfect place to grab a scoop and walk around town. Truly a Fairfax staple that never misses.“

“Italian Delite Submarine Sandwiches Thank you for supporting the Lucky Run this past Sunday to benefit Novato High School's Safe & Sober Grad Night. We appreciate you! Safe and Sober Grad of Novato“

“What a gem of a restaurant! We unintentionally stumbled upon Bolinas earlier this month while on vacation. When the Muir Woods closed due to the government shutdown, we pivoted, and we are so happy we did. Our party of 8, which they so accommodatingly allowed us to spilt into separate tables for 4 adults and 4 tweens, had the best time on their patio. The service was stellar and warm, the atmosphere was friendly and there wasn't a stranger to be found, and the food was even better than both those combined. Thanks to the whole crew for being the highlight of the day.“

“Creekside offers a great assortment of beers, wine. tasty pizza and other comfort foods, healthy salads all served by the friendliest staff and owners you could wish for!🍺“

“Absolutely amazing! Such wonderful dishes!! Will be back for more!! 😋❤️🧡❤️“

“Somewhat busy but they were able to seat us quickly. Their wood fire oven pizzas were really good, would recommend. They also sell oysters (which come with the most adorable tiny tobasco sauce bottle), though keep in mind the smallest order is a half dozen“

“The impossible laarb banh mi was so spicy but full of flavor. Super happy that the boba drink was available with oat milk, it helped relieve the burn from the delicious banh mi. Theres beautiful parks in Fairfax downtown that are walking distance, plus this would be the perfect thing to grab for a jaunt to Pt Reyes or other outdoor trails nearby.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!!!“

“Only popped in for a quick coffee during our drive but had to right a review! I got a dirty chai and it was MAGICAL!!! Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend got a black coffee and it was very good as well! Great place to stop for coffee! Didn't get a chance to try the food - next time! :)“

“A Must try! They got large selection of Delicious food, Wonderful service.“

“I recently moved to San Anselmo, and am so happy I “found” The Hummingbird in nearby Fairfax. It’s in a good location at 57 Broadway Blvd. with plenty of free parking across the street. I really like the New Orleans vibe at The Hummingbird. The menu includes several creole items alongside standard breakfast and lunch choices. The servers are friendly, helpful, and efficient. The food is fresh and delicious. I love their catfish po’ boy sandwich. The fried green tomato BLT is very good too. My third visit will happen next week — I’m thinking waffle & fried chicken this time . . . or maybe the fried shrimp po’ boy sandwich.“

“Always willing to help the community! On top of the BEST bagels in town. They are a true staple here in Novato and we are blessed to have them!“

“THE WINE…just order the wine and everything will be ok in the world again! Great blends from Napa Valley , as good as any expensive vineyard , the owner blends and creates them for years, STRONG WINE, UNBELIEVABLE TASTE! The food is amazing, I’m a New Yorker and loved it ! The gluten free pasta was done to perfection! Wished I lived closer…we would be there every week! The ambiance and staff were inviting , and the owner is a vibe unto himself! Our waiter was from NYC too and he gave us a sheet of poems to take with us! Overall, great experience! ✌️❤️🌈 @thehappiesthippie !“

“I had lunch here with a friend and it was such a nice break. Sitting on the sunny terrace at the picnic tables gave it a real vacation feel. The lunch options are fresh and farm-to-table inspired, simple but well done. The bread is excellent, so good that I brought one home. A relaxed spot with good food and an easy, pleasant atmosphere.“

“Wonderful dining experience. The food, service and ambiance was outstanding. What a jewel on the hill.“

“pistachio crusted salmon was excellent. service was spot on. wine was excellent.“

“Since some of the restaurants in the Point Reyes/Inverness area are only open Friday-Sunday, the Inverness Park Market can help fill the gap. We were in Inverness on a Wednesday, looking for lunch. The deli counter/restaurant at the Inverness Park market was a welcome surprise. We throughly enjoyed the generous portions of fajitas and burrito. You order at the counter, pay at the cashier, and pick up your order at the counter. Service is quick and friendly. You can eat at tables indoors or out on the porch or patio. (The only drawback was that there is no bathroom; the porta-potties adjoining the building were barely adequate.) In addition to Mexican specialties, the counter provides all kinds of sandwiches. Recommended!“

“The best Indian vegetarian food! Organic and amazing seasoning.“

“Really good pizza, amazing risotto, awesome caesar salad and kick ass Brussels sprouts.

First I went for the pizza and was really happy with it. Then I saw they have risotto and tried it. Then I saw they make their own pasta. Been there a couple of times and didn't even order the pizza and was completely satisfied. Last time there I tried the ravioli of the month which was really good.

It's definitely our regular pizza place now.

Service is hit or miss. Never bad.

On cold days it does get cold inside at times. Not the warmest place to go for dinner. Last time it was actually freezing inside and I felt like the AC was on when I was in the 40s outside. After about a half hour the heat seemed to have kicked in and it warmed up. That was weird. If you get cold easily bring a jacket to wear inside.

Update after a few visits over a year or so:
Tonight was spot on with everything. The monthly pizza was the best we've had so far. I love how they change up the risotto. It's good each time. I usually get the caesarlina salad which is delicious but since it was a cold day, I tried the minestrone. It was fantastic. I finally remembered to take pics this time.

There are a couple of new really good spots in San Rafael now that do legit Neapolitan pizza. Pizzalina shines with their crisp NY style crust.“

“Started going there in 1980 and have never stopped❤️🙏🏻♥️“

“Ordered the mini Tortes during the Covid-19 stay time and got them in 24 hours at home and they were incredible! Well with it. Recommend for those gluten free and they have vegan friendly items!!“

“I just discovered Lucky Penny and have already ordered twice in a row! The focaccia, chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon rolls are amazing. Ordering for pickup is super convenient and the owner was really accommodating for a relatively last minute special order I put in. Highly recommend - I will be coming here again and again!“

“Excellent flexible and happy to work with you. During this time of physical distancing- they made it easy to gather sweets for home bound treats! #shopNovatoLocal“

“Todo lo que ordenamos estaba delicioso!“

“Great food and good service at reasonable price.🙏👍“

“Fantastic artisan food. Handmade corn tortillas & quesadillas made from organic corn ground daily in house. Farmers Market ingredients & sustainably sourced proteins. Local new chef/owner & partner are committed to building a community hub around food made with LOVE!“

“Excellent food and drinks, healthy, creative dishes, high quality ingredients, delicious coffee and bakery. Casual and friendly atmosphere.“

“Went here for a somewhat large family gathering. While not the best Mexican food I've ever had the quality was good. Every one in the group seemed to enjoy their meals and my steak burrito hit the spot. Margaritas were pretty good too. Staff were friendly and attentive.
I would suggest you guys take orders at the table like a normal restaurant instead of making us go up to the front desk and order. I get that you are probably short staffed but getting our group of over 10 people to the front of the restaurant and ordered took way longer than was necessary, and we ended up making other customers wait while we got everything sorted.
While I don't mind paying for my meal before I eat it, if you are paying with a credit card it means you have to tip before receiving service, which just seems backwards to me (a tip should be a thank you).
Would go back again.“

“Full bar, great staff and amazing food! And, they give back to the community 💗“

“Iconic Fairfax destination in the heart of town. Great food! Superb coffee! And wonderful friendly staff! Shout out to Mario who was both the cook and the server for my birthday outing. As it turned out it was also his birthday. Thanks for the delicious avocado toast, the yummy baklava dessert and the happy smiles, Mario! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!“

“I love this classic frozen yogurt shop. They always have great new flavors (as well as the classics) and the best toppings whether you are a candy or fresh fruit fan. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“I've lived in Novato for six years. I've tried several Chinese restaurants and haven't been impressed. I've resorted to driving down to Ping's in Northgate One. That all changed today when I stopped at China Village in the San Marin Plaza. They know their stuff! Everything was flavorful and delicious. I'll be back!“

“We had an incredible lunch here. The restaurant is kind of hidden in a strip mall, but worth the journey. The most flavorful tikka masala we've ever had and perfectly spiced saag. Butter naan, rice, and raita was fresh too. Can't wait to try more next time!“

“Amazing Asian tofu salad! Only issue is I carried out and didn’t see that you have to pay extra for them to mix it. That is bizarre and was super annoying but it is truly addictive and my boyfriend couldn’t stop talking about it. I wouldn’t change a thing except the staff was rude and the salad should be mixed without an up charge!“

“One of my favorite spots in PRS.“

“Beautiful establishment with friendly service and a nice beverage selection. However, their food left me desiring more—their peaches weren’t ripe enough and very hard, and their Greek salad seemed more like an arugula/ onion salad with small amounts of tomato and cheese.“
