When I go when I crave mole… - Edit
This is the burrito I crave when I think of mole. It’s enough for two days for me so I get a great dinner and an amazing lunch the next day. The flavor is consistent and rich.

My First Time... - Edit
I am really new to the vegan world! But my daughter has made the change and committed. I took her to The Grain for her birthday. The place is very welcoming, the service is excellent. The food is wonderful to say the least! Can't wait to get back for more of the the exciting fare. The menu being quite extensive, cpmpleted with a very tasty dessert selection. And, they also have a Seperate offering of Authentic Oaxacan food, very quaint. Long time in the community. Look them up
Read morePros: I had the sautéed kale, amazing with the burger pa, The not Sushi rolls or Dragon rolls , Check em out!

Cute n Cozy - Edit
Super friendly staff at this little cafe. I had the chicken crepe and had too much dessert—couldn’t decide and shared two slices with a friend. This location is easy to find from the street as the green and orange signage stands out.

Small portion sizes - Edit
What I loved about this place was they are vegan and used sustainable products like no plastic straws but compostable ones and silverware, so no plastic there too.
Read moreWe ordered a customized juice, which was good.
Ordered a pancake for the kid (no complaints), Huevos Rancheros and Tofu scramble. The portion sizes were very small for the prices, hardly filled our stomachs! The food was spread out in such a way to look as if they filled the plates, but the quantity was too little in reality!

Excellent food and service - Edit
We quickly became regulars on our vacation. I’m ready to have their Pozole soup and Pollo crepe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. These dishes are so hearty, healthy, have a great variety of produce in them and are delectable! Desserts are amazing too. The cakes are spongy and feel surprisingly light. And it is so refreshing to try Mexican cuisine beyond tacos and burritos. The service is quick and very friendly. Would definitely recommend. #Veganuary

Food great as always - Edit
I have been to another branch a few times but never tried cake so had it here. Wow, so good!! Will need to start ordering more cake 😆
Read moreTheir Italiano Cappuccino was not in any way Italian. Just the foamy messy American style. Could not drink it so cost them a star here. Espresso was better.

Tofu scramble!!!! - Edit
Ate here with 2 omnivore friends without terribly open minds and they loved their waffle and grain salad. As for me, I am so glad I ordered the tofu scramble. It was excellent.

waffle - Edit
i have gone here twice: once for lunch and once for breakfast. got a chicken and bacon club sandwich the first time and waffle deluxe w chicken fingers the second time. sandwich was pretty good but there was an extra slice of toast in the middle so the ratio was off. i don’t know how they make their chicken but it slaps. breakfast platter was very light but appetizing especially the waffles!!! also very good latte. i will be back

Dont come here if you are latino - Edit
The only thing that was good was the tres leches cake and even that was just a 7/10. Everything else was pretty inedible. Dont recommend this place for my fellow paisanos. The dishes have almost no flavor. The waffles and crepes are dry. The cheese in the quesadilla tastes horrible. It all tastes like it came from a can. The chips are so thin and brittle, they break off in your hands before you are able to eat the nachos. Maybe this is catered more for people that dont like much flavor.

Great Long Beach Cafe - Edit
Great neighborhood cafe with great menu and good customer service
Read moreI have eaten their food through delivery and it. As good, but today I finally made it in to eat at the cafe.
I had the Reuben with potatoes and Earl grey tea. The portion sizes were good. I was satisfied with 1/2 the sandwich but it was so good I struggled to save the second 1/2 for later.
Our server was attentive and didn’t rush us as we were there longer than we should have been chatting enjoying a warm spot on a rainy day. (There were several open tables we weren’t making others wait)
Check them up and enjoy.

Very good choice - Edit
This has become one of our favorite places to eat. The best part is that it's ALL VEGAN. A good variety of meals, from American to Italian and Asian to Mexican. Tonight we enjoyed the Sopes and Molotes from the Oaxaca menu. Along with dessert and cappuccino. The staff are always GREAT and make this a pleasant go to vegan cafe.

Delicious vegan with lots of variety - Edit
I have enjoyed every dish I've had here, but I keep going back to their chilaquiles. Coffees are excellent, as well. And if you like spicy, you'll want to buy a bottle of their hot sauce to bring home. They are always willing to add extra greens or make other changes you desire. Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating, but it is located at a busy intersection, so a tad noisy outside, at times.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan variety, Creative baristas , Friendly staff
