50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Petaluma

“Everything was fabulous! So excited that Luma is open!“

“Had brunch here today with my daughter and we were lucky to get seated right away as it’s a popular spot, especially on weekends (opted for outdoor seating rather than wait for a booth). I ordered a scrambled egg skillet and my daughter had a Greek omelette. Both were excellent!“

“The decor is sort of sparton, or should I say Viking...

Staff was very friendly. Place is clean.

I just went there for Kalles
It is about the only place in NorCal that has/had it.

Parking is manageable, least you don't have to pay for parking like in S. F.“

“I miss you guys and the wonderful meals and wines. You will forever be my favorite place.“

“Grand Central Petaluma isn't just another café—it's gives heart and soul to our community. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment with expertly crafted coffee while watching the river flow by, or looking for the perfect spot to connect with friends, this place delivers both solitude and connection in equal measure.

What truly sets Grand Central Petaluma apart is Natalie and Juan Carlos's vision as community builders. They've transformed this space into something extraordinary, regularly hosting everything from intimate art exhibitions, to lively children's and cultural events, and captivating live performances. You can feel the genuine care the owners pour into this community by providing a space to celebrate art, connection, and the unique spirit of Petaluma.

The coffee and food are exceptional, but it's the warmth and authentic charm that keeps drawing me back. A true local gem.“

“Boat noodle and pad thai beef was absolutely tasty, I didn't think i can find a good pad thai and beef ball ( inside my boat noodle) taste like i was in ThaiLand last summer - here at this small town. Sticky rice mango was okay because the mango wasn't ripe enough so it taste a bit sour. Our waitress was very nice and attentive.“

“I had a sandwich today from The Local (inside my gym), and it was absolutely out of this world! I ordered the Petaluma, and every bite was packed with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. You can tell they put real care into what they serve. I work across the street and also work out at the gym, so I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend!“

“Very good food and good service. Great atmosphere.“

“Really top notch sushi, wonderful service and staff. We are thrilled to have found this place and will be back! Can’t wait to try some of the interesting dessert choices.“

“Oh my this place was good! Better than many of the Korean places I’ve been to in SF and Santa Clara… we drove up through an hour of traffic from south Marin and it was worth it. The husband-wife duo are so fast & efficient too. My only ask is please open a location in Marin! (We need you to rescue us from our Korean food desert)“

“Great food atmosphere great staff“

“The BEST sandwiches in town. I, personally, think they are a much better quality than when it was Mr. Pickles. Much friendlier staff and owner. I rate this 10 stars. Love the vegetarian sando on Dutch crunch with Swiss and Baja sauce. Chicken salad sando excellent too. All good! Fresh“

“The view and atmosphere are fantastic here. The food is delicious and the staff are all friendly and fun. I highly recommend Ayawaska!“

“Our absolute favorite restaurant in all of Sonoma County. The food is impeccably prepared and curated. Selections are reasonably priced and well-worth it. It is certainly worth driving out of your way for a meal here.

As a note, the menu often has new and rotating dishes responsive to the current season or availability of bio-diverse food. Visit frequently to get the full experience!“

“Super tacos and breakfast burritos are outstanding“

“It is usually busy during street events but we always get seated at lunch or dinner usually inside but there is an outdoor area....the food is always good there are clean accessible one person restrooms too!

Parking: Parking is on street...several lots nearby..free garage but it's by the theatre district

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is accessible“

“BEST frozen fruit ever. I take my 2 grandchildren ages 1 and 3 EVERYTIME I come to visit from Folsom. They are now both into the sprinkles on top and besides their Mango and strawberry or passion fruit they now want GaGa's fresh pineapple popsicle. Yummy!“

“Awesome food! Lunch menu is great. Too much to eat! But I’ll eat it for dinner too!“

“Healthy & freshly pressed juices, cold brew/nitro coffee, nut mylks & Super power elixirs!!“

“Loved everything! I bought an avocado, turkey and tomato sandwich with sliced carrots, and my kids ordered BLTs… Love their bread too!“

“Great spot. Casual vibe. Server lady was pleasant but a little short. Never did check backs or cleared a single dish even when her food runner had no place to put the main courses down. Just sloppy lazy service by her. Runner was awesome but left to handle everything after she took the order. Veggie Shepherds Pie was great. Hamburger was very good tho a tad small for the huge bun. Wings were tiny drummets with nice flavor and a terrific sauce but small portion was ridiculous for the price. Polenta fingers were ok but needed seasoning in the polenta itself and some melted cheese on top. It was really just oily pesto on top of cold bland grilled polenta cut up. Will try again but tbd how that goes.“

“Hubby and I love the Pizza. The Pizza was huge, yummy, and it's not greasy. We will come back again soon.“

“pretty tasty !!! got try it“

“Yummy food great portions authentic taste“

“Always good food served fast when on a time crunch“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“3rd time here. Fried calamari appetizer is among the best I've had. Had chicken picata this time with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinich. Flavorful. Good portion. Could have done better on the chicken presentation. Bland "looking". Took some home. Not much ambiance here. If looking for a romantic restaurant, this is not the place. People are nice, but service is underwhelming. I will be back, just not as often as I would if ambiance and service was better.“

“I've been to The New Yorker pizza a few times now, they are always friendly and the food is great. I actually forgot my wallet there my first visit and they went above and beyond to get it returned to me, super awesome people. If you're looking for quality pizza and a pleasant experience, you won't be disappointed here.“

“Me atendieron muy bien y excelente“

“Legendary Italian. Family Style. Enough said.“

“This is a great place for lunch or dinner. Fresh ingredients in salads and pizza toppings. Friendly service. Lots of options which are inexpensive. The Petaluma Extreme Pizza is the best! 🍕“

“The service was great, except they tried bringing me prawns I didn't order and then brought the bill with the prawns still on it. They were quick to rectify the situation both times, but it is worth noting. The food we did order came in large portions and taste amazing! We ordered orange chicken and Princess Chicken. We'd go back, again, staying on top of what they bring to the table and reading the bill carefully.“

“Food is delicious! We had the beet salad, blt sandwich, mushroom turnover, red lentil soup, lavender coffee, Arnold Palmer lemonade and the carrot cake WTH the yummiest frosting and the pb&j granola bar!
Would highly recommend eating here! You won’t be disappointed! 😊“

“Love the Blistered Shishito pepper cream cheese when it makes an appearance!!“

“Best lamb momo, seafood kabab“

“Try the vegetarian tacos!!!“

“Me and my girlfriend tried this restaurant this past Sunday on account that we became aware of them having a vegan menu to supplement there regular menu, obviously being Vegans ourselves this was pretty exciting, not many places have an entirely separate menu for us to access, well this was only the first of many good qualities about this establishment, the service was impeccable and all the staff were incredibly friendly and engaging and helpful, as well as genuine, and the food, let me tell you, you won’t find better flavors at almost any restaurant, I’m not even kidding, and the list goes on and on, the pricing was fair, the portions were plenty, the salsa and sauces were amazing, the variety was great, and what’s more is that they did not attempt to substitute any of the alternative meat options, they just made sure there dishes were flavorful and decently proportioned and came out of the kitchen in a timely fashion, literally we had not one complaint and this review is so much more than deserved, don’t even know if I’ve had a better all around experience at a restaurant ever, please all vegans if you have not tried this place yet, please do, and those of you that are not, they will not disappoint either! Thankyou Tortilla Real!“

“Good music, food & drinks.“

“I’ve been here twice now, and can’t get enough! I tried the minty chocolate ice cream that they had, can’t remember the name and it was delicious. But my absolute favorite was the lavender ice cream with the gluten-free waffle cone. I do not have a gluten intolerance, but I ordered it because the waffle cone was cinnamon flavored and it was amazing.“

“I recommend their tasty burgers and sweet potato fries. Their homemade pickies are good too“

“Great food, service and beer and wine selection.“

“Took the tour with Tyler and it was fantastic! Gave us an extra sample of the Pilsner to try and the Loft bar alone is worth the tour price. Stopped by the taproom afterwards and ordered the nachos, burger and fries and of course more taproom exclusive Lagunitas brews. 10/10 would recommend“
