4 Best Salad Restaurants near San Juan Bautista

“I had the pleasure of visiting this shop today on our school field trip to the mission, I appreciated they had little snack rack for $1 so our kiddos could all get a little treat and some refreshing ice cold water, along with little games and coloring table. What a great store!“

“Love the many delicious Lolla sandwiches; the breakfast bagel is my favorite, along with yummy tomato soup. All ingredients are fresh! Desserts are superb as well! 💗“

“Recently, I learned of Cultiva and Cali Caffeine, and that there would be a Sunday vegan brunch happening once a month in San Juan Bautista. My wife is vegan, and I love vegan food, so we decided to take a Sunday drive and check out the brunch offerings! Upon arriving, we quickly came to realize that space is super limited inside. There’s really just one spot right inside the door. There were two tables out in front, however it was raining and that wasn’t going to work for us. We did eye one other table inside, and they quickly cleared it off and were super willing to accommodate us, especially since we mentioned we had come down from San Jose in the rain, and had been looking forward to the experience. After looking at photos online, it’s possible there might be a patio in the back, but again, my guess is it would be weather permitting. Just a heads up to plan accordingly when coming here, as space is limited. Rafael operates the Cali Caffeine part of the business, and right away he made me a very tasty vanilla americano, and my wife had a specialty latte made with oatmilk. Super good and paired wonderfully with our food. Maria operates Cultiva, and is the chef and prepares the food. She was so warm and welcoming, and she made us some of the best vegan dishes we’ve had outside of our own home. We ordered three items and shared: Waffle - Banana Brulee, Cinnamon, Maple Syrup Chilaquiles - House Red Sauce, Corn Chips, Crema, Onion, Queso Fresco Milanesas with Famous Mom’s Macaroni Salad - rice & mushroom medley “steak” milanesas paired with creamy, flavorful macaroni salad In addition to the above, we also got to try a side of spicy garlic potatoes, with chipotle sauce, spring onions, and arugula. The food was incredible and the flavors were delectable! Everything was made with thought and care, and it truly came through in every bite. We are so glad we took the drive out and met these wonderful people, ate some delicious food, and had an amazing experience. Can’t wait to come back again. Thank you so much Maria and Rafael!“
