Vibe Organic Kitchen — Restaurant in Dana Point

I was there yesterday afternoon with my mom / sis/ her hubby / their puppy ! EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME !!! VERY CLEAN foods / very clean restaurant !!! They got an outdoor patio where we could eat w/ their doggie ! They had a clean toilet ,too. Just 1 for both sex. Big enough for wheelchairs ! They filter the water there . They had the machine . I had a Mediterranean bowl shared with mom as we ate some sandwiches/ I had a crepe at another place not long ago !! The berry cake was a bit pricy ( $12 ) ,but consider other traditional cakes made with full of sugar & fructose, preservatives, gmo & artificial flavours/ colours ,yet charge us like $ 8 to $ 10 nowadays at fancy places ,it was sensible. Lol. Nothing but pure ingredients ,NO GMO ,all ORGANIC & no fillers,no additives ,no preservatives !!! EXCELLENT !!! It was a bit tart ,but I loved it !! They had a NUT FREE dishe also ! TACOS with COCONUT FLOUR was very interesting & yummy 😋, too.

The guy helped us was VERY VERY FRIENDLY !! And he explained things very well with smiles !! I thought he was a manager. He SHOULD BE THE MANAGER !! I dislike health food stores/ restaurants with strange unfriendly people working at !! We really liked him & the other ladies working there were friendly as well ! They really gave us GOOD VIBES !! Lol. Like the name ...they DIDN'T DISAPPOINT 🙌 Especially the man helped us order. And we really appreciated the clean ingredients, no deep fried processed foods !! Lol. I do understand why / how people like those & I like beyond meat & all ,too !! Easily get addicted to !! But,When I eat out ,I don't wanna eat those on parade !! I still wanna eat out like I do at home as much as possible which is almost all organic ( I do 95 to 100% , sometimes 90 % depend on the availability ) & clean ingredients, no GMOs !!! We googled this place indeed !! Lol. GOOGLE MAP REALLY HELPS !! 👍 LOVED THIS NEW RESTAURANT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE to all vegans & and health-conscious people & whoever wanna try pure plant foods which organic also & some raw foods ,not processed !! It was more happening than the next door chicken place ,or pancake shop ,or a Mexican restaurant which looked good ,too ! So ,it was really nice to know that the world's changing in the right direction & in an unexpected place like O.C. !! When I was vegan back in the early 90's to 2008 ,especially the 90's ,there weren't many choices ,very limited items ,or none on menus & very difficult to find one offered vegan foods or options !! Especially in Orange County !! Lol. Now even Del Taco has vegan dishes !! Lol. This restaurant was all around complete clean plant based restaurant !!! And top of that ,ORGANIC !! I saw a family of a black dad with a Hispanic mom & their beautiful handsome son there who loved my sister's dog so much !! For some reason it gives me joy to see black people or Mexican ,or any Latino people digging in their plant based meals !!! Especially, such a young kid !!! He seemed to be 10 ,or so . PRECIOUS !!! YAY !!! WE WILL BE BACK whenever we'll visit Orange County !!! They were located in a plaza where you can park in a structure for free & has an ELEVATOR 🛗 & the restaurant has a ramp to enter / leave !! Their toilet was big . So definitely WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY ♿️/ PEOPLE W/ MOBILE ISSUES FRIENDLY !! We spent $60+ for 4 of us sharing 1 meal by two of us. Then $12 /cake & some smoothie ,my brother in law had . We all had the nice filtered alkaline water 💧. P.S. my sis & her hubby had an acai bowl ,too !! It was good ,but acai...

This review is long overdue, but I have to share how much I love this place—it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots. As someone who’s newly diagnosed with Celiac disease, finding a restaurant that I can trust to be safe is such a relief. This place not only offers gluten-free options, but they also ensure that their food is cross-contamination safe, which is incredibly important for me. On top of that, I have a mild allergy to eggs and dairy, and I’m so grateful that they cater to that as well. I don’t have anaphylactic reactions, but avoiding these allergens is crucial to preventing unpleasant stomach issues, and here I never have to worry. Everything is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and grain-free.

The food here is truly incredible. It’s bold, flavorful, and has a fantastic texture—something that’s not always easy to achieve when avoiding gluten, dairy, and eggs. While the prices are on the higher side, it’s absolutely worth it. You’re getting high-quality, well-crafted dishes that taste amazing and are made with real care and creativity.

One of my go-to dishes has been the chicken and waffles. I honestly couldn’t tell that the chicken wasn’t real meat—it was that good! The breakfast burrito is another standout. It’s huge, packed with flavor, and the salsa that accompanies it adds just the right amount of spice, giving the whole dish a nice kick.

What I love even more is that the restaurant is fully vegan or vegetarian, using imitation meat products that are so tasty, it’s hard to believe they’re not the real thing.

The only downside is the parking situation, which can be a bit tricky. The lot fills up quickly, and street parking can sometimes be a hassle, but trust me, it’s well worth the effort for the food. And speaking of worth it, their smoothies are fantastic—refreshing and delicious, they’re the perfect complement to any meal.

The service is also top-notch. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with a smile, and the staff always has great suggestions for new items or their personal favorites. The inside is always clean and inviting, making for a really pleasant dining experience. It’s truly a vibe every time I visit.

I’m so grateful to have found this place, and I can’t wait to explore more of their menu. It’s a real gem, and I wish there were more restaurants like this that cater to food allergies while still offering incredible,...

I really wanted to like this place and had such high hopes for it from all the amazing pictures and good reviews. Everything sounded so good on the menu but I must say I was disappointed and I don't feel that way about food often. That's why I don't usually write reviews but felt I needed to write one for this. I had the Macro Bowl and it was fine but a bit sour, which must've been from the golden "kraut". I also didn't quite like the lentils in there. The rest of it was fine but not amazing and I found myself keep eating because I wanted it to taste better and it never really did. By the end I was full not satisfied which is a feeling I really don't like when I eat. I can appreciate that all the ingredients are really healthy and that's what made me feel good about eating it but the taste, at least for me, left a bit to be desired. The Acai bowl also sounded really good so I had to try even though it is more expensive than what I'm used to paying for acai bowl, but it was again too sour and way too much granola all mixed in, so I couldn't find any acai that was just plain acai without the crunchy granola.

If I come back to this area and want something healthy I might try something else on the menu, with hopes that it would taste better because they do have a lot of things that sound so good. It might be just I had such high expectation for it and I felt it didn't quite meet it. I hope you have a...
