50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Templeton

“What a killer breakfast! I was not expecting such exploding flavors. Wow. My husband had the breakfast tacos, I had the chilaquiles, my son had the French toast. We all loved everything we ate and will for sure be making an effort to stop here again. Service was very friendly, too. Low key, order at the counter place. We loved it.“

“Wonderful little deli place. Wonderful customer service. I was allowed my dog inside, i was treated lovely, and when i came home and ate, the food was delicious. Jordan made an amazing rovin williams sandwich. And you know, if you know. Okay. It was juicy, flavorful and truly left a great impressionKid-friendliness: Was very considerate of my anxious dog who barks everytime i leave him in the car to do what i have to in stores. My dog was very happy to be apart of the engagement“

“This is our third visit to Jack's Bar and Grill, and it's been fantastic every time. It's our go-to spot when we're in the area and want delicious food. The salads are excellent (the salmon is cooked perfectly) and they offer a great selection of beers.One suggestion for the owners: the BBQ chicken is only available for dinner. It's a bit disappointing because we often come for lunch and would love to try it then.We'll definitely be back!“

“My family and I LOVE Griff's!!!! I've never had anything there I didn't love. Jeff the owner is so sweet as well as all his workers! Next time you go get his famous garlic bread because OH MY GOODNESS it's pure freaking JOY in your mouth!“

“I've been to Ziggy's a few times and always enjoyed their avocado taco as well as the french fries. However, this time I had the vegan soft serve and it is so good! - I believe the flavors change regularly but today they offered vanilla and chocolate swirl. I ordered mine in a cone to-go. It tastes just like traditional soft serve and is perfect for a hot day! - Last time I was at Ziggy's, I got the vanilla milkshake and it was soupy. It simply wasn't frozen enough and it kind of ruined the experience. However, the soft serve this time was a perfect consistency. Be sure to pay in cash and you will get a 4% discount.“

“Brother's Cafe has been our families favorite restaurant to eat breakfast or celebrate birthdays. The food is delicious with large portions served. The employees are efficient. Their homemade Pasteries are displayed on the counter, such as cinnamon rolls and muffins.Dietary restrictions: With Dairy Intolerance, I just say "no queso," no cheese.“

“This was basically like being on Top Chef. I very highly recommend doing this (Trust us tasting) including the Som. Even if you think you know a lot about wine, your mind will be blown. The food was incredible, best i had in a long time. People often mentioned LPC, but finally i got to try it and so should you“

“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.“

“Best vegan food in the county hands down. It's the only vegan place I have been to that not only tastes good but the meat and dairy substitutions do not hurt your stomach. The Vreamery does it right and I always recommend this place to everyone even if you're not vegan. They also sale all their plant based ingredients so you can make your own vegan meals at home. 12/10 I recommend the artichoke panini and the caprese panini!“

“Great old school classic chicken fried steak and eggs after a full day of wine tasting! Yummy homemade biscuits and gravy. Friendly service. The place is thriving, they know what they're doing here. I'm sorry I didn't discover this before, now you've got a new fan!“

“This experience was the highlight of our trip, and the most wonderful way to celebrate my in-laws 40 years of marriage! The wine and food pairings were perfection. Ian is so talented but overwhelmingly just kind, authentic and easy. It felt like we were being entertained by an old friend.Every part of the evening was over-the-top wonderful. He has created such a unique space that is so inviting, allows for easy connection and conversation, and ultimately exists to bring people together through wine and food we don’t get to experience on the regular. We could not have asked for anything more special. In a world that not often over-delivers- THANK YOU.“

“The ham and Brie danish is to die for. Customer service is always amazing. First time I went was back in November and the owner herself went around checking in on people with the warmest smile. Went there yesterday and wanted to take some danishes home but didn't want it sitting in the car while we were at the beach. They were nice enough to let us keep our pastries with them all day and picked up before closing.“

“This is the best cafe in town! Clean and comfortable space with friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommend the Amstrdm Breakfast sando with croissant. the pastry is light and flaky, layered with tender eggs and avocado. Definitely ask for their famous homemade fermented hot sauce!“

“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!“

“Omg! We have been coming to Paso Robles from Portland OR for 4-5 yrs. and stumbled into this place tonight and was totally blown away from entering the door. Bryan greeted us and made us feel like family. We were family right away. He gave us samples of drink options and then let us pick our table with menus to decide on type and size of pizza. After picking our table with our beverages, we were greeted and welcomed again by Steph, who offered waters and told us if we needed anything to let her know. We made our pizza selection, ordered and watched the Women's LSU/Iowa State women's BB game. Pizza delivered to table and all our needs were addressed. Amazing Pizza. I cannot put into words how amazing we felt after visiting and eating here. This was a Monday night. We are here another night and would look forward to going back tomorrow (Tuesday) but they are closed. BUMMER. If you are in town and looking for a family restaurant, we highly recommend Rustic Fire. They will give you the, we are so glad you are here experience. Thank you Bryan, Steph and staff for making us feel special and making us family!!! Mike & Sherrie Bonser sherwood, Or.“

“A very popular restaurant and reservations are recommended. The service was friendly and very good throughout our meal. I ordered the seafood fettuccine and it was amazing! Fresh sweet shrimp, yummy scallops, fish and baby clams & mussels! Soooo good! My husband ordered the lamb but it was just OK. The Burrata salad was very nice as a starter. They serve fresh bread with a Kalamata olive tapenade while you wait for your food to be served. We had a couple of cocktails that were done very well. A cucumber martini and a Negroni.“

“We ordered take out from this spot while visiting town. It was quick and easy to order over the phone, and the woman who took our order was sweet and friendly both on the phone and later in person. The food was ready quickly, and when picking up the order it was clear the restaurant is inviting (and smells so good). The server was even kind enough to offer ice in a take out cup for my canned soda and thank us for supporting them. The food was delicious and we appreciated how vegetarian friendly this menu is. In a town of a lot of delicious food, this place stands out as comforting, affordable, and super yummy. I’d frequent it if I lived here and hope to come back someday to try more of their items.“

“***delish food!!*** get the brisket fries!!! love this spot right off the freeway!!!! got the brisket fries! without! but to make it vegetarian i just asked for the brisket on the side! 100% vegetarian!! super happy also add green chilis!! sooo damn delicious!!! the best in town! do it. no more searching!“

“My wife and I went for dinner on Wednesday 5/15/24. We had visited Cambria and Hearst Castle earlier in the day. Both of us were famished. My wife ordered the Shrimp Carbonara and I the 14OZ Ribeye Steak. Lord… both were very good. We paired this with a Chronic Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious. Staff is extremely friendly. The owner, Margarita Diaz opened and poured the wine for both my wife and I. Loved the place and we will be returning.“

“My friend and I had the best time at the Wine Merchant. The layout of the restaurants gives that market atmosphere. Pretty cool. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food menus and gave great recommendations. I will definitely stop by during my next trip to Paso Robles.Parking: There are limited parking spots behind the restaurant, but there is a gravel lot next to it. Also there is street parking as well.“

“This is my second time visiting the coffee house and I explored the outdoor patio. Make sure you walk all the way to the back because there's a bunch of seating. - I am obsessed with the vegan and gluten-free raspberry oat bar. Not only is it delicious, but it's a really good sized pastry. - I also got the veggie breakfast burrito and it was below my expectations considering taste. There was a brown sauce that was used in the burrito that I didn't care for. I asked for avocado, but I couldn't taste it in the burrito. I was, however, grateful that they did not include mushrooms as I requested. as always, the service was speedy and polite.“

“We're local Paso folks and this is a favorite dining place. It's small, family owned, provides friendly service and very excellent Mexican food, as good as it gets in Paso Robles. We're well traveled in the southwestern US and in Mexico. We know it when we taste it. This is it.“

“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?*“

“Red Scooter Deli is a charming eatery located in the small downtown area of Paso Robles. And what a great find it was to eat here! My family and I ordered the following: - Chicken Pesto Wrap - Club Wrap - Turkey Bacon Melt - Tuna Melt The amount of food was fairly sizable and quite delectable. The prices were reasonable too. Their outdoor seating is dog-friendly, even though our own doggie Derby is a menace (Derby is notorious for incessantly barking at wait staff). If you're ever passing through Paso Robles, try the food at Red Scooter Deli. You won't be disappointed.“

“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!“

“We went on a Thursday night. It was packed! We only had to wait like 20 mins though. It could've been worst. Service was fast and servers were friendly. They don't serve the food all at once. But maybe it was just us, we ate too fast lol. The environment was not too noisy, not too quiet. The food was amazing. The tom yum was hot and sour. The pad sew ew and pad Thai were good. I would go back to try the other items.“

“The sandwiches are excellent!!! So are the chocolate chip cookies and blueberry scones!!! We loved this place so much we came here 4 days in a row!!! Sadly , we leave for home tomorrow and will miss coming here. I highly recommend it!!“

“SO surprised Goshi Paso Robles doesn't have better reviews. We've loved this place for many years, and while there have been some changes over time (raised prices, new decor & tables/chairs that cost money, numerous staffing changes, somewhat smaller portions over time), the one constant has always been quality sushi. And if you've ever had bad sushi, you know how important quality is! So much to love about their menu: Appreciate the extensive list of specials. Yellowtail Tataki appetizer is delicious. The hand rolls are incredible. And they have actual wasabi if you ask - not just the green horseradish paste! Excellent green iced tea. Generous ginger palate cleanser. Nigiri servings are exquisite. Edible art - each bite is to be savored. I'd be there every week if I could! Definitely the best sushi in town & better than every sushi place I've tried in the Bay Area. A true Central Coast gem.“

“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 found Orale' by chance while shopping in Paso Robles. We decided on a late lunch. My wife ordered the taquitos and I ordered the chili verde. We both had an agua fresca. Everything was delicious!!! My wife's taquitos were plump and piping hot. The rice and beans served with our meals were both pleasing and authentic. The agua frescas were good and homemade. Now, my chili verde....that was another story. It was fantastic, flavorful, tasty and spicy in a very good way. This is chili verde that my grandmother made for my picky grandfather and that I miss so much. Wow!!! What a treat. The next time we're in Cambria, I will have to find an excuse to suggest to my wife that we make the drive to Paso Robles for lunch/chili verde. Hopefully she will respond, "Orale!!!"'“

“This place is super cute and welcoming! Food came quickly and was as described on menu. Would highly recommend the Baja fish tacos. They do need to add another chicken option though, because there is only one kind of chicken and it's a bit spicy. Overall, great place!“

“Food: Steamer clams app. House Salad, Red Snapper Veracruz. Affogato dessert. All perfect. We make Veracruz at home and believed ours was better than any restaurant/ we were wrong- Catch's beat ours! Service: attentive and friendly. We said we would share salad and fish dishes/ the staff split the halves onto separate plates and I'm sure gave us more than a half order each, Ambiance: noisy, crowded & fun.“

“The burgers are good but the fries are very soft. I was a hamburger cook for a long time and the key to potatoes when they are fresh is to cut them thicker so that when fried they do not become battered and absorb a lot of fat. It's a tip that I leave to the cook and the manager. Also use a firmer bun since the burger falls apart after two bites.“

“For a quick good bite and a very casual atmosphere here is a decent stop. Call it fancy fast food. Order at the counter, go get your fountain drink, ice tea or bottle of wine then go grab a seat and they'll bring you your food. Pretty quick as well.“

“Interesting approach where you use a card to serve yourself beer and pay at the end. You pay by the ounce. It's a great way to easily taste a bunch of different beers without waiting for a server.The good was good also and the servers were great.“

“You'll never guess what the restaurant named Brunch serves.. Hopefully you weren't surprised that it it's brunch that they serve. This restaurant is a charming eatery in downtown Paso Robles that is constantly busy, especially on a weekend. We got to the restaurant around 11:30 am on a Sunday and waited about 30-40 minutes. Luckily, they text you when your table is ready so it gave us time to walk around and browse some of the shops around. We ordered their full bottle mimosas which came with different juices for us to mix with. It was nice being able to taste the different combinations! For food, we ordered the eggs benedict and chilaquiles. The eggs benedict was pretty good, but the chilaquiles were okay. The portion size for the chilaquiles was generous though. The service here is always nice and it really seems like the people working here seem like they like to have fun. It really adds to a positive atmosphere when you're here. Whenever I'm in Paso Robles and want a hearty brunch, let the SEO take you here to Brunch!“

“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!“

“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 service, they gifted me and my friend some donut holes for our littles. I got the breakfast burrito, ham and cheese croissant sandwich and a lemon lavender donut. Everything was delicious and made fresh, I'll likely come back tomorrow to try the other donut flavors. The place is very quaint, relatively small inside (2 tables with a 2 seater bar) with some outdoor seating.“

“We ordered takeout from here and it surpassed expectations. We were a little skeptical about checking out this place, given some of the subpar reviews. However, we decided to give it a shot and are glad we did. We ordered some classics, including Chicken Larb, Pad Thai, Pad See Eew, tofu yellow curry, tofu stir fry, rice. All the dishes were tasty. We ordered online and picked it up ourselves. Food was ready at the expected time and pickup was straight forward. We would definitely get takeout from here again.“

“This place wasn’t *that* revolutionary but there’s something for everyone and it was really good food for the price!! It is a lot of meat so perhaps don’t come here with a vegetarian.The sliders are bigger than average and picking just two items for $16 filled me up! I loved the burger I got (fig and chèvre) and the Brussels sprouts were yummy too.Service was also friendly and quick.It’s street parking so come early. We didn’t have any issues.“

“The food was so fresh and tasty. We ordered some noodles and they came with a lot of yummy beef and great flavor. We also ordered a chicken dish that was amazing. The spring rolls also didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend it for fresh food and great service.“

“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.“

“Valentine's Day dinner was excellent, 5 courses delivered by Daniel. It's a great little spot, tucked away in the lobby of the hotel. Honestly, the ONLY issue was a family sitting behind us with a 5-6 year old watching YouTube videos full blast. Not the end of the world and the staff very politely got that situation under control.“

“What a find! We just spent a couple of nights in Paso, stayed in a cosy little AirBnB which was 2 blocks away from the Thai BBQ & Combo. Very friendly staff, very tasty food and great value. This fantastic takeaway saved us from walking to downtown and spending way more on some fancy meal. Will visit again next time we come on a wine tasting trip!“

“I love the options here! The vegetarian tacos were mouthwatering. You get 5 for less than 20 bucks. Stacked high with a spicy avocado salsa, perfectly roasted cauliflower. The sweet from the corn and blackbeans. I will definitely come back for these again. Ate outside with my puppy and it was perfect to have him chill while I enjoyed my lunch outside. ??? #VegetarianTacos #Yummy #LunchWithAPuppy“

“Food was great, Jeffry's always hits the spot every time we go. It was rainy out and there was not much seating, but we managed to snag a spot at the bar. The employees were great and very attentive. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal.“

“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 contacted Debbie regarding a few Keto chocolates and she happened to have them in stock! (Keto is special order only). I live 50 miles north of her bakery but she was able to neatly pack eat cupcake in an ice chest so that they would arrive in great condition! The comments on here are true regarding her amazing customer service and kindness. I pan to continue purchasing from this wonderful woman and trying more of her baked goods!“

“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!“
