This place is amazing! When I see the words Organic and Vegan proudly displayed outside an eatery, my taste expectations immediately plummet to a level slightly above what I expect a bad Mongolian prison meal would be like. Im happy to report though, that I couldnt have been more wrong. When it comes to health food, youre so often sacrificing taste for health, case and point my daily on the go breakfast, Muscle Milk. In this case, its absolutely not the case (although truth be told the bread leaves something to be desired) The cucumber kale lemonade comes out a watery green and packs a refreshing and crisp twist on the lemonade you know and love, even better you get one free refill. I followed this up with the Mexican tacos and my mouth is watering even now at the thought of them. So good in fact that I went back for seconds the very next day. The fresh avocados, thick red spicy sauce, and the surprisingly tasty mexican rice were superb. You should take others for the shock value alone. A healthy and delicious meal.

The food was okay but the service from the both of our hostess were terrible! The only thing that made this experience pleasant was our waiters. We went during the morning to grab some breakfast, the hostess was rude and looked down on you. Our waiter though was extremely friendly and helpful, we loved him! The second time we went at night we waited to be seated (there was not a lot of people) so we figured wed be seated right away but it wasnt until I got up and asked if it were too much trouble to he seated that the girl behind the counter said "oh I thought you were waiting for someone" so she assumed for a whole 15 minutes that we were waiting for someone and instead of asking she just let it go. Again, our waitress was such a polite and helpful person that I just brushed that off as well. Definitely not going back.

Just finished eating lunch here, and it was delicious. I had the enchiladas, which have the added appeal of being gluten-free. Adding cashew cheese was $1.75, which I thought expensive, but I got it anyhow. It didnt have the same kick as real Mexican, but hot sauce fixed that quite well. I was also thrilled to find that they had some gluten free desserts. I got the black and white cupcake, which was delicious! Staff was nice and attentive; patio was clean; food was tasty. My one complaint would be that it was all a little expensive. In truth, a $30 lunch (entree + drink + dessert) may be normal for CA, but Im not used to it.

Terrible service and the food was bland and over priced. It feels like a lunch place so should be fast but there were 6 staff doing nothing - it wasnt like they were chatting or having fun, they were just wandering around aimlessly. It was extremely disorganised, the food was very slow. We were also overcharged, they forgot parts of our order even after we repeatedly requested them. Really awful place. There are so many better options. Lastly, the food is not good. I cant think why people go back here, maybe when there were no vegan options this was the only place? Times have changed and this place is not keeping up.

Some people have an irrational fear of the idea of meatless meal, even more so if the meal is vegan instead of "merely" vegetarian. This is one of the spot to cure these people. The food is good and tastes great. There is a large selection of options and the staff are friendly and knowledgable. The seasonal specials are normally worth trying out. Things a priced a little on the high side, but that tends to be the case whenever a restaurant specializes in good, healthy, fresh food.

I went in for the first time today and wasnt sure if my son would eat the food so I picked him up a rice and veggie bowl from Panda Express, just in case.... and we were turned away because my sons food was not vegan. Are you serious???? We werent even allowed to eat outside on the patio. I was so disappointed and upset. Its this type of attitude that turns people away from the vegan life style. As a vegan myself I was excited to try the place but I am never going back.

This place has the best vegan food Ive tasted anywhere. I am not vegan, but my girlfriend was. As a non-vegan, let me tell you that this is good food! You pay a little more for the quality ingredients and great options designed by their chef, but if youre willing to pay a little more than this is a great place to go. There is a much larger variety than many vegan places Ive been to as well. Try their nachos!

Food, atmosphere, and people are all superb in RFD. The food selection is diverse and their milkshakes are killer! If you are not vegan I still think everyone will enjoy this restaurant (except extremely picky people -.-). The waiters/waitresses are eager to help and take your order!! Also, the desserts are splendid! Stop by and indulge in this wonderful vegan food :) <3 xx

BEST RESTAURANT EVER. I am a new vegan and also very very picky about the quality of food. Lets just say, I go here 2-3 times a week and order way more than I need to! My favorites are the mexican style tacos and the pudding. I cant believe the choice pudding is vegan, it tastes way better than that crappy jello stuff I ate as a kid. Seriously, try this restaurant.

I frequent the Pasadena location quite often. If you are a Vegan living in the Pasadena area and have not yet visited Real Food Daily on Del Mar just off of Lake ... wtf? You must stop in and try it out. the basic five with Daily Veggies, Sea Vegetables, Pressed Salad, Soba Noodles and Marinated Tofu with Wasabi Dressing is my staple choice and to die for.

The food is fresh and flavorful. I like to go on the weekend for brunch. The Weekender plate is one of the best items on the menu. I love their cashew cheese. They have great desserts. The staff is helpful abs attentive. They are on the higher side on pricing but overall a very good vegan eating experience. Would recommend them for any dining time.

Who cares if youre not a vegan, you will still love this place. Very healthy and very filling. The staff members will take the time to explain every item for you. gf = gluten-free | nf = nut-free | sf = soy-free | t= trace amount of high-quality tamari | raw = raw. I recommend getting the "Real Food Meal".

Fantastic food choices on a vegan, gluten free, or other non allergenic diet. Best of all, the food is incredibly tasty: L-Kat and I ordered the Cardini salad and the brunch Ava B N Cheese (cashew cheese) and both were awesome. Good selection of beer and wine and mimosas, though the alcohol was just a bit overpriced.

I love this place, the food is great and the patio is always pleasant year round. If I have any complaint its that the portions seem small for the price, but not unusually so. A plant based staple for basically anyone who likes food—we had our rehearsal dinner here and out-of-town meat-eaters were impressed.
