Ynot Organic — Restaurant in Pismo Beach

This gem is a green as the lettuce. Tucked away in the nooks of the Central Coast is this dope all organic and vegan cafe. Whipping up homemade ice cream, coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, soups and more. My friends and I had just came from parlaying at Cal-Poly and one of them recommended this place as she dined here prior with and only said great things. . It took me a while to glance over their extensive menu, there were many good options. All guilt free of course, so it was hard to choose. I ultimately decided to order the California BLTA and it came with a side, I chose roasted potatoes (not pictured) My friend ordered one of their specials, the stuffed avocado which honestly stole the show on presentation alone. Filled with quinoa, laid on a puddle of jalapeño aioli topped with grape tomatoes and sweet potato and garnished with pumpkin seeds…BRUH…this is the meaning of food is life. It tastes good and is good for you. It was lightly seasoned and refreshing. The aioli wasn’t overbearing and the avocado was firm enough to hold its shape when cut by our spoons, but not under ripe. . I highly suggest and recommend eating here. Service was friendly and accommodating. The staff greets every person that comes through the door, they are quick to resolve any requests and we even got to meet the executive chef/owner and he gave us free chocolate chip cookies. 10/10 experience and will definitely dine here again. . The second time I dined here I got the street tacos & a cup of the lentil soup. Both were divine. As always the presentation is intricate & inviting and the flavors were warm and the tacos assumed the taste of meat minus the guilt. They were mini corn tortillas, with the first layer being crumbles of chorizo tempeh in a brown sauce, avocado lime crema, radishes & garnished with micro greens. It also came with a side of beans. My cronies wanted dessert & ordered one order of each of their ice cream flavors: pistachio, vanilla bean and chocolate I hardly had space after such a hearty healthy entree, but ate as much vegan ice cream as I could since being lactose intolerant has deprived me of the tasty treat for some time. I can’t rave about this place enough. Definitely a must visit for vegetarians and vegans alike or anyone with an open mind and...

I tried Y'not Juice Bar for the first time today, because of a promotional deal I purchased through Local Flavor. I had never heard of the place before, but when I saw that it emphasized healthy vegan food I wanted to give it a try. My expectations were exceeded! The place is very clean and nicely decorated like a lounge. There's quite a variety of seating options to suit your mood & preference: lounge chairs, counter seating, and regular table and chairs. I ordered the burger which is bean based. It came with a side salad, and I chose the snap pea salad with sesame and ginger dressing. When the food arrived I was impressed at the presentation. I was also surprised that the burger was so beet red. I don't really like beets, but I was very pleasantly surprised there was no detectable beet flavor. In fact, the vegan burger was absolutely delicious! It included lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, avocado, all served within a sesame seed bun. For dessert I tried the cheesecake and the chocolate torte, which was too much for one person, but I had to use up my $20 certificate and I just brought home leftovers. The cheesecake was based on their house made cashew cheese and topped with fresh puréed blackberries and a blackberry. The chocolate torte was pretty much like the cheesecake, except for the addition of chocolate. Both were excellent desserts, but I think I liked the simplicity of the cheesecake a little better. By all means get the chocolate if you are in the mood for chocolate and something a little richer! Everything, including the sides and dessert tasted very flavorful & fresh. I will definitely be coming...

My daughter loved her smoothie bowl, my other daughter had a cup of lentil soup which was a nice sized portion for a cup. I had a pumpkin spice that was a bit to strong and somewhat bland for me. I was really shocked by the service directed at us in particular. The cashier was almost overly sweet to the other patrons (regulars?) but when I ordered she was standoffish and barely looked at me. When the food was served to us, I went out of my way to say thank you and she again, barely acknowledged me nor returned it with a response. Maybe she was having a bad day but the difference between the service towards us and the other patrons was night and day. I dont know what we did or said to warrant the cold shoulder but it was kind of a...
