If you want THE BEST SALAD COME HERE!! If you want THE BEST VEGAN COME HERE!! If you want THE BEST KOMBUCHA YES HERE!!
I am by no means a vegan. However, I do like to eat healthy. There’s not a lot of true healthy choices in this area. This is a small family owned restaurant that serves incredible food. If you’re looking for food that needs loads of sugar and sodium for taste, this is not the place for you. Island raw has a simple menu with incredible flavors and textures. The meatloaf is savory and delicious. Mind you, it will not taste like the beef meatloaf you’re used to. Once you adjust your expectations, you’ll find that this has the most incredible explosion of flavor of any meatloaf you’ll ever have. In addition the salad that came with it was probably the best salad I’ve ever had. The veggie burger was soft with many flavors and textures. If you want a “hamburger” go somewhere else. If you want the best veggie burger you will ever have come here. They do make some vegan chocolate/truffle substitutes. They will not be full of sugar and goo, but they are full of flavor. This is not normally the kind of food I eat, but It was savored it with extreme pleasure. The staff are friendly and inviting. The service was absolutely incredible, the atmosphere was heavenly, and it was wonderful chatting with one of the owners. There was a wonderful breeze up there on the second floor, stairs in the back.The kombucha is homemade,clean,delicious,fresh and is famous on the island, and can be found in many of the local stores. Better to get it...

Along with Esther, even though I arrived before their official opening hour of noon, they welcomed me in with open arms and shared their options with me. I decided to go with the Vege Burger and a salad. It was ready in a short while and just the incredible presentation caught me off guard! It was so beautiful. I started eating the salad first and from thee first bite, my tastebuds jumped with joy as I chewed on a combo of soft and crunchy, flavorful textures. It truly was an experience that brought me into the present moment, bite by bite, chew by chew. I savored it all. The burger itself was WOW! The bun had a nice texture, and the entire burger was super flavorful with a variety of soft and crunchy textures as well. As a fully vegan person, this place is super appreciated. I was even given glasses of water and a little free dessert sampler. Last but not least, the prices are affordable and all tips go to Esther, the Chef who I wish I could eat all...
Read moreSuch a hidden gem! The owner has clearly spent a copious amount of time perfecting each and every recipe- every single ingredient sourced has taken years of trial and error to select the best with such extensive research on the supplier and ingredient itself. Every ingredient serves a health purpose, if you take the time to talk to Regina when you're there she can talk to you for 30 minutes on the health benefits of each ingredient in just one dish. Typically with food so healthy you sacrafice taste but each dish is absolutely delicious. My newest favorite obsession is the protein bars- dark chocolate with 7 different medicinal mushrooms (you would have no idea it's in there!), organic sunflower butter, protein powder, cacao nibs, and hemp hearts...seriously addicting and tastes like a reeses peanut butter cup! Between the taste and quality of ingredients, the price point is astoundingly affordable and comparable to other restaurants with far...
