50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Oceanside

“excellent food, service meals were so colorful & artistically presented. Best was the taste even if you haven't had vegan food. highly reccommend The Plot.“

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.“

“A must-visit restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was great, and although the restaurant is small, it is definitely worth the visit. If you’re dining with a larger group, I highly recommend ordering a variety of dishes and sharing so everyone can sample a little bit of everything. There were so many dishes I didn’t even get a chance to photograph because we ate them before I remembered to take pictures! The presentation was beautiful, and everything we tried was full of flavor. Definitely a place I would recommend and visit again. (Parking on the street)“

“We came here on Tuesday night, before closing and ordered 2 white chocolate blondes, the drinks were yummy, but on the sweeter size. We didn't get the doughnuts, but definitely want to come back and try some. They made our kids quickly. I liked that they had outdoor seating as well, so you're able to grab some treats and a drink, and take a seat outside.“

“Amazing coffee!!! Great atmosphere and you feel at home. ❤️❤️❤️“

“The food here is reminiscent of the flavors of the Thai food restaurants in Thai Town of LA. That’s a very good thing. Meaning that the food is cooked more Thai style, not Chinese style. Love it.�“

“Awesome place to chill and have a drink and they are dog friendly.. my pup always comes with me for the bacon 🥓“

“Busy but still quick. There is always a long line for the drive through so we dine in. But even the line seems to move quickly. Bit of a wait for dining room seat but there's always a table or two outside. That said, In N Out is always a win. Great food. Good price. Love it.“

“NiNi was our server…she and the kitchen crew were exceptional! Nini was kind, happy, efficient and attentive. GREAT service and also…tasty food. Air conditioning wasn’t working but we still enjoyed the food and service! We had an excellent dinner. Thanks!!“

“Amazing. Makes me feel like im back in La Patria all the way in SoCal. Definitely nailed the Colombian and Peruvian food down. This Colombian co-signs this place ✔️. Give them a try if you're looking for sensational South American style flavor all the way down to the music they play!!!!!!!! 🇨🇴 🇵🇪“

“Amazing fresh and taste so good“

“We ordered the family meal to go and enjoyed the variety and flavors. Since there are only two of us, it provided several meals for us and we’ll definitely order it again! (The staff are also helpful and friendly).“

“5-star review... My daughter accidentally left her purse at Teri Cafe (Plaza Location) on Saturday. Since the cafe was closed Sunday due to a scheduled power outage, I stopped by Monday morning to ask whether it had been turned in. Thankfully, the purse had been given to management, and everything inside, including a substantial amount of cash, was still there. We are very grateful to the honest person who returned it and to the Teri Cafe team for keeping it safe. This experience demonstrated genuine trust, honesty, and integrity. Thank you, Teri Cafe!“

“I am Mexican , I usually go to TJ for tacos , but here these tacos are the best in this side of the border , the adobada has their piece of pineapple 😱“

“They have great quality fresh fish and love fresh oyster order as well. Yummy 😋!“

“The food is so good, fresh and delicious typically Indian food.“

“Ordered delivery on a Friday night. Excellent won ton soup, not ordinary but very nicely done and would describe as wor won ton soup with lots of veggies, shrimp, chicken, bbq pork. Loved it. Also ordered the Mongolian beef and the flavor was excellent but the spice level was too high. Next time I will ask for not too hot. I like spicy but this was just too intense. I will be back, the food quality is excellent. Just minus one star for too much heat in the Mongolian beef.“

“The customer service is outstanding“

“Great food. GREAT Drinks! Rebecca is awesome!“

“Some of the best breakfast I've ever had.“

“Love everything about this place: the vibe, the service and especially their drinks. I didn't get a chance to try their toast yet but will definitely be back for it. I got the Dirty Banana Milk and finished it so fast I forgot to take a pic. Great spot to try in Oceanside!“

“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.“

“Many options including poki bowls, curry, ramens and sushi. I went with sushi and the fish was very fresh and the portions were generous.“

“Love their burgers. Cooked to perfection. One of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Burgers were great, place is fun, people here having fun. Love the music too. Glad to have found this place. 🥰🥰🥰. Will definitely come back.“

“Great food and great service...an outstanding spot for breakfast! Although we live 2,000+ miles away, we hope to be back someday. Almost forgot...great name as well.“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

“David gives excellent customer service and the energy in this establishment feels like a piece of home. There is a quiet peaceful energy that brings me back. The food is good too, and it allows me to relax and collect my thoughts. A very comfortable environment to chill and eat.

I was sick and David recommended tea with ginger and honey. That helped my cold, I appreciate this place.“

“A taste of Guam! Very good food and service!!!“

“Great customer service that went above and beyond. Taking inspiration from a video and creating something 💯 better this team helped to make a memorable weekend for a great group of people. Working through emails we were able to coordinate the exact design as well as someone to pick up and deliver the cake. Thank you! The cake was better than I imagined!“

“First time here. But we will definitely be back again. Food was great. friendly waitress. Big portions, had to take half home.“

“auténtica comida mexicana, la mejor de oceanside .“

“Nice spot ! You can eat at the counter seating and see the beautiful beach and ocean just across the street.
I had the Kitchen Sink burrito ($11.95) was all good, except I think it would have been better, if the fries were a little crispy.
Parking was tough on the weekend, as the lot is shared with a park area next door.

“The nicest people with the best food!!“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“Handel’s is hands-down the best ice cream around! Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, I never knew ice cream could taste so good. Huge portions, amazing variety, and friendly service make it a must-visit every time I’m in the area. The only place where brain freeze is totally worth it.” 🧊“

“Just got their VEGAN sweet potato pie, and it’s DELICIOUS. Been eating plant-based for 14 years and this is the best vegan sweet potato pie I’ve had. 🧡“

“My favorite stop when I am on the go. Their organic deli is one of a kind. I also love buying dinner preparations; I also shop in their vitamin and self-care section, incense, and gifts. You can always find the best of the best here. It is family-owned, and everyone is very nice.“

“Best place to enjoy the best coffee and the place has the best workers“

“Went in the for the 4th time in the last 2 weeks. I love the Pad Krapow. It is awesome. THE Tom Ka and spicy fried rice is great too. The only thing better is the service.

Jenny and Pat are magnificent. Jenny's English was awesome. Wayyy better than my Thai. Lol She taught me a couple words and phrases in Thai. Also she and Pat was attentive and accommodating. That's probably the reason why Ive been back so many times. :)“
