Thoroughly enjoyed my order on DoorDash - I’m not vegan, but I fell for the special and decided to check it out. I’d give 5 stars to the juice and iced chagacinno I ordered. The breakfast sando was good, but perhaps the bread was a bit too greasy/buttery. I’m definitely open to trying out more menu items soon though!

The Italian sandwich is my favorite sandwich ever. Vegan or not it's simply a perfect sandwich.

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.
