Wow! This is the first time I’ve ordered and they are amazing! I got the BLT sandwich with gluten free bread and wasn’t expecting much since that kind of bread can often be dry but these are wonderful. I’ll definitely be ordering again. Can’t wait to try more

My favorite vegan sandwich in Los Angeles, I crave it constantly and would eat here so much more if I lived closer.

OMG the breakfast sandwich is amazing and every other sandwich I've had there has been a total hit, too! The staff is always friendly and accommodating and make you feel super welcome. Delightful outdoor seating area, too!

I wanted to like this place so bad, the prices were good and it was all organic so I was sold. However, after driving all the way from Manhattan Beach to this place I ordered the Just Egg sandwich and found that my cheese was cold, and there was a bug (fly) in my food. *sigh* Was NOT worth the drive. I’m so disappointed.

Glowing Eatery is a little sanctuary of health and flavor tucked right next to Cookbook Market in Echo Park. It’s 100% vegan, but you don’t need to be plant-based to appreciate what’s going on here—just someone who enjoys food that tastes good and makes you feel better after eating it.

The menu is thoughtful, vibrant, and seasonal. I had one of their bowls—hearty, colorful, and full of texture, with roasted veggies, grains, and a perfectly zippy house-made dressing. Their smoothies and fresh-pressed juices are just as carefully done: not too sweet, not too watery, just right. And the baked goods? Yes, they’re vegan—and yes, they’re actually delicious.

It’s a small space, more counter-service than café, but it’s warm, welcoming, and exactly what you’d want from a neighborhood vegan spot. You can eat in or take your food to go, and they also stock some pantry items and wellness goods if you’re browsing post-lunch.

Everything here feels like it’s been chosen with care—from the ingredients to the people behind the counter. Whether you’re vegan, veg-curious, or just in the mood for something nourishing, Glowing Eatery lives up to its name.

The Chickpea Tuna sandwiches we ordered were sooo good. We all ordered one and they were both tasty and filling. They were a decent size for the price. The only suggestion would be that the ingredients are distributed a bit better, we found that one half was way messier than the other half, maybe it was the heavier ingredients moved to the bottom since we got them to go and ate them at the Dodger Game (the jealous looks we got from everyone around us!!). We will definitely do the same plan for the next dodger game we go to!

We have gone twice and tried breakfast and lunch sandwiches and both my partner and I have been thoroughly impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. Awesome selection of vegan treats and snacks.

Awesome little vegan place! I had the breakfast burrito and it was a 10 out of 10! Also had the “medi-date” smoothie and it was great. The food is a bit pricey but I really enjoyed it.

Tried this place while visiting town recently, incredible food on the menu and A+ service. Excellent location and a ton of selections in their mini-market

Cute cafe with vegan food, smoothies, and groceries! We came in here for lunch and everyone was really friendly and the food was great. I got the Italian and my partner got the BLT and both were great! Absolutely could've told me they weren't vegan and I would have believed you! Also saw zach woods on our way out the door which was fun 😊

One of the cutest vegan places I've come across in SoCal. The chocolate brownie is SO rich and full of chocolate that it is indistinguishable from a non vegan doughnut. Definitely a hot place for people who are traveling and want a quick & affordable snack. The protein oatmeal is $7 and tastes so great; the only small complaint I have is the protein powder sits at the bottom.

This is my fav place to get healthy food in this area. Always so fresh and they use organic foods. Huge fan, highly recommend for a smoothie or acai bowl!
