23 Best Vegan Restaurants in Atascadero

“This is one of our favorite breakfast and lunch spots. My personal favorites are the breakfast quesadilla and the fried chicken salad. My husband’s favorite item is the mimosas.The staff are always super friendly and fast moving. We place orders for pickup now and then and they’re always on top of it. They can get very busy so you may need to wait for a seat sometimes, but it’s just because they are a local favorite.There is indoor seating but we love the back patio. There’s a large open “bowl”-type area, I’m not really sure what its purpose is, but my kids love running around in it. We also see people with their dogs back there pretty often. It’s nicely shaded and there is a large water fountain.To get to the bathrooms, you have to go outside and up the stairs, or there is also an elevator. Make sure you read the code off the A-frame chalkboard before going up.Parking: Parking can be rough. There are other businesses that share the building so it’s not open parking wherever you want. While there is a small, tight, parking area right up front in front of the main entrance, we always drive straight to the back of the lot, and come into The Nest from the back patio entrance. There’s usually better parking in the back.“

“A friend brought me gluten free donuts from here a few months ago. What a special treat! We happened to be visiting Atascadero today (from Santa Barbara), and I had to stop! I got a lavendar and a maple sprinkle gluten free donut. Yummmm! I am so grateful for this sweet spot!Dietary restrictions: Wonderful gluten free donuts!“

“Went tonight for the first time, super good. Prices look expensive but they are so big you really get two meals out of it if you are a normal person. Owners were very kind, food was fast, hot and absolutely delicious. I asked for BBQ sauce for my triple pig when it came out because usually pulled pork is a little dry at restaurants but after i actually started eating i didn’t use the sauce as i thought it was a disservice to how moist and flavorful the pork was. Will definitely be back!“

“Really enjoyed our breakfast here. During a round-the-world trip dominated by big cities, it was nice to find ourselves in a small town where everyone was friendly and life moved at a slower pace. Good coffee and a decent meal. Reasonably priced too. We hope your barista got some value out of our recommendations for her upcoming trip! ?“

“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*“

“Great place for us to take our kids and also enjoy a beer. We appreciate that they are providing a family-friendly spot with things for kids to do, because there are not many places around here. 4/5 because not a fan of the food sadly, but the staff & beers are fantastic. Try the sour honestly one of the best I’ve ever had!“

“Everything from the Mango Ceviche appetizer, fantastic dinner entrees and the lavender cheesecake for dessert were all amazing. Great portions - all of us had plenty leftover to take home! Service was exceptional as well. We will definitely be back!“

“We had the Pastrami, Listen Linda, Club, and the Italian. They were all good. We split them all up so we could each have a taste. I think the Italian was the best. I personally didn’t think the Pastrami was great but a lot of that is just my personal preference and the way the meat was cut. Staff was very helpful and got our sandwiches done quickly.“

“Great place! They were open after kids' baseball games without the shame of "arriving too late for the kitchen." We were greeted with smiles and positivity. Our server Courtney was absolutely delightful! She was pleasant, kind, effective, punctual, and just a downright asset to the service industry. We thoroughly enjoyed our family dinner. It helps that they sponsor The Atascadero Little League. There were several ball-playinf kids and families dining tonight. That you StreetSide and NC Restaurant Group. We truly appreciate you!“

“Thai Elephant Morro Bay a locals favorite! Food is always PHENOMENAL! Great authentic flavors, with fresh ingredients. The restaurant is small, most clients use the takeout service. For those eating at the restaurant location please take note that there is not much space between tables. Wonderful eatery!“

“I love the customer service here. The ambience is pretty traditional and plain but they do have seating both inside and outside. The process to purchase is quick and easy especially to go orders. The food is always delicious and the soup is always very hot. I requested extra meat and it was very affordable. This was my second time dining and I really enjoyed it. Thank you.“

“Our favorite place for Mexican food! Great staff who helped explain the menu. We ordered and paid then ate in their dining. Great complimentary chips with various salsas to choose from all excellent. Dining area is roomy and clean. Portions are generous and pricing is great. You can choose combinations plates or ala cart. We will definitely be back!“

“I really enjoy Toshi! We have visited several times and each time, our food is very good and always cooked quickly. The Ramen is so flavorful, with lots of chicken, noodles, egg and veggies. One bowl easily feeds two people! We also love their cheese bombs, which are just cream cheese and crab meat in a wonton with sauce! So good! All the rolls we have ordered so far are made well, great flavor, and good size portions. I especially love the Paso roll! That's my favorite!“

“My family and I love getting food fromBravo Pizza.Healthy, authentic and delicious pizzas and sandwiches along with very friendly staff are good reasons why we are of the returning customers pool.We recommend both this business and its sister location in San Luis Obispo to anyone that values great food and professional service.My 2 year old says more Pizza and keeps me gladly going back for more.Vegetarian options: Plenty on the menu to choose from.Parking: Large parking lot. Always able to park conveniently close to dine in or pick up and go.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and welcoming.“

“We’ve been regular customers since Jan 2011, at least monthly. The meals are always excellent. Wait staff has always been friendly and professional. We’ve taken family members and visiting friends and they are really impressed by the quality.“

“This place is good. It's not super authentic, the burritos are stuffed with a rice mixture that's not my husbands favorite and their chips are nothing special, but for the price it's decent. The servers are usually friendly and helpful, ambiance is nothing special but their new building is nice!“

“Six of us came for dinner. Three of us got the sea bass special that was absolutely delicious. One got short ribs, one prime rib, one the chicken Alfredo. Everyone loved their dishes. Hannah was our waitress and was top notch. We ordered beer, wine and a mixed drink- all good. I definitely recommend this place and will be back.“

“We stopped by to try the place out for dinner service and ended up getting a few mocktails (purple emperor and island vibes) and appetizers (bruschetta and pork belly) with a tiramisu to finish things off. Immediately we felt very welcomed by the staff, and were seated promptly. Our server Desi was very attentive and had great recommendations, she really made us feel safe trying something new. The pork belly had such a nice texture and the mocktails all felt very unique as well, we will definitely be back for a full course.“

“Great burger the fries were perfectly crisp, cold delicious wedge salad , I've been there twice to to see if burger and salad were consistent if flavor and preparation "IT WAS " can't wait to go back , craving that burger and wedge salad Sooooo Good“

“Holy wow I have so many positive things to say. First off. The flavor of all of the food! I got the vegetarian/vegan sampler plate #1. It came with hummus, grilled veggies, pita,4 falafel, 4 dolmas, and tabouli. The falafel was herbacious, moist, and soo crunchy. My mouth actually watered from how flavorful it was. There was sweet and tangy from the dolmas, smoky from the veggies, fresh from the tabouli. Best part is this whole meal is less than 20 bucks! Will definitely be coming back!“

“Everything was great. Sandwiches A+ and it had a nice family friendly vibe.Duck fat fries had a very good flavor and had a nice crunchiness. I had the chicken sandwich and it was perfectly fried. The Cuban was also a very good sandwich and very filling.“

“Took my friend here for her birthday. To start off, the service was great! The host was nice, and the servers were very attentive to everything we needed.The food was AMAZING! There were so many delicious items on the menu it was hard to make a choice. I had a hot sizzling stone bowl with beef. It had beautifully crisp veggies, the meat was well marinated and tender, and it came with a bunch of sides. I also ordered a couple of sushi rolls. I got the sushi pizza and the popcorn lobster. The sushi pizza was SO GOOD! It had this crispy rice thing on the bottom which complimented the toppings nicely. The popcorn lobster was also really good. The little popcorn lobster bits on top were perfectly crunchy and crispy.At the end of our meal, the servers brought my friend a free ice cream with a candle for her birthday. It was decorated, and they sang to her! So glad we came here. It was such a great experience!Vegetarian options: They were very accommodating to my friend’s dietary needs. They recommended lots of vegetarian options, and informed us that a decent amount of the menu can be altered to be vegetarian. We ended up with a Greenland roll, a power veggie roll, and a tofu hot sizzling stone bowl. They were absolutely delicious!“

“Really good food. I got the bowl version of their mushroom Swiss burger and they give you a ton of veggies with the salad.Hubby got a deliciously messy hana burger. The staff was happy helpful and kind. The garlic fries were so good. Definitely a place we will go to again.“
