Top Vegetarian cafe and delis in Houston, United States

Oh I loved this place, I will definetly come back...the chicken posole soup was magnific...the smoke salmon bagel as well and lemonade with cucumber was delicious, and the garden with tables outside is such a relaxing place and the service is superb...really pleased, you should try this beautiful place at Houston...

Fantastic lunch- fresh and large portions. I took a photo but not of everything- sorry!! The crispy chicken sandwich was fantastic and the kale side was divine. The beets were excellent as well. We also had the seafood sandwich which was outstanding. The atmosphere was nice and everyone was very helpful and friendly. I just found out they have one here in Austin. Will def be visiting - hopefully the same service and food.

Service was excellent, atmosphere was good but unfortunately the food was not good. I was expecting food more on the health conscious side. We ordered the queso and chips. Queso is made from cashews and topped with vegan taco meat and vegetables BUT served with deep fried tortilla chips. How does that make any sense serving a "healthy" meal with deep fried chips. How about baked chips. I also ordered the Local CheeseBurger which I thought would be served with oven roasted french fries BUT was wrong, deep fried fries. Burger was lacking flavor, I gave it a 2/10. Also deep fried fries served with my wife’s banh mi sandwich which she said was a 7/10. They seem to be confused if they should serve healthy food or just be a higher class version of McDonalds. The food was not good at all. Don’t waste your time or money on Local Foods. Very disappointing. If you want the best queso you ever had, go to Flower Child in Uptown. You will not be disappointed. I will never return to Local Foods👎

This place is a counter service restaurant, which was hard to tell from everything I could find online about it. Nonetheless, super happy we made the choice to check it out. They have an amazing variety of contemporary American dishes, pulling inspiration from all over the world. For example, I ordered the grilled shrimp with tabbouleh, which was more like shrimp on top of a bed of broccoli with quinoa as the grain. I found this to be misleading. Also their vegan oatmilk horchata was good but nothing like a true horchata. Also misleading because horchata is traditionally vegan anyway as it’s mainly made from rice milk… I would still come eat here again as the food was fresh and delicious and you can tell the chefs care very much about the quality. While I wouldn’t expect to come home super full after this meal, I felt the portions were fitting.

I enjoyed eating the salad and soup here! Highly recommend posole! It has a nice outdoor eating area and is pet and vegan friendly!

Came here with my husband for dinner, and we decided to stop in since we had tried Local Foods in Austin and really enjoyed it. Sadly, although the place was beautiful and has a good amount of space inside and a gorgeous patio area, our food was less than impressive. It took quite a while to get our food and it was not sadly not as good as our trip in Austin.Our food looked really good but lacked flavor, and my vegan gumbo was extremely salty.

Update 1/7/24 after all these years I finally tried the (vegan) banh mi and can't believe I waited this long. As a Viet, it is on point with the real deal banh mi. The bread was toasted to perfection. The tofu had great flavor and the pickled onions and carrots tied it all together. I have a new favorite sandwich 😋

I've been coming here for years and it's one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is fresh and flavorful. I've had a lot of dishes but my go to's are the Egg Salad Sandwich (on wheat because the pretzel bun does not agree with me) and the Taco Salad which by the way is vegan. My daughter was with me on this day and she ordered the Asian Salad with Tofu (subbed the chicken). They are very accommodating. The potato salad, kale salad, and chips are great sides. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Don't pass on dessert... chocolate chip cookies and carrot cupcake. The service and staff are great. Great ambiance with beautiful decor. Big outdoor space and dog friendly. Plenty of parking.

Great place to lunch and enjoy good vibes with friends. It’s located in Upper Kirby and shares the parking lot with Soul Cycle. What I like best about this place is the wine selection. The food is good (healthy food can be hit or miss sometimes). The menu notes the items that are vegan, gluten free, nut free—so pay close attention to that. Sandwich items can be turned into salads. The menu items are eclectic in my option and at first blush you may be inclined to not try a thing so ask for recommendations. I’ve been here a few times and haven’t been disappointed. Today I tried the shrimp and crab sandwich on the gluten free sourdough bread. Sandwich was good—not overly flavorful but still satisfying. The bread didn’t taste much like sourdough but I have no complaints. The chicken soup is top notch. Safe are friendly and attentive. The indoor and outdoor seating are both vibes. The places doesn’t accept cash so be mindful of that.
