We ordered a variety of items to try and were not disappointed by a single one. My favorite was the chocolate peanut butter brownie parfait/mousse ... I didn’t even share it. Very sweet, you will taste coconut though! We really loved the extremely rich and fudgy vegan hostess looking cakes and my husband favorited the blueberry muffin.

Free Soul Cafe - @freesoulcaffe Summary: This may very well be a favorite date spot. Fancier vegan places with great “mood” lighting are hard to come by. Free Soul Cafe has a relaxing indoor ambiance and a spacious patio as well. Their espresso/cappuccinos are so Delicious with great presentations. Though they do not serve alcohol, there is a wine bar across the street to finish you evening. They have a variety of foods from weekend brunch to Italian dinners. We were very impressed with their authentic take on pizza dough and their potato pizza. Their flavor combinations and creativity with their dishes are ones you don’t want to miss out on. We are pleased when a restaurant can make their own cheeses and cream sauces that would fool any non-vegan. We’ve been several times and look forward to returning soon.

Modern Times Brewing - @moderntimesanaheim @moderntimesbeer Summary- A Vegan Socialites Paradise. From the Eco friendly and funky atmosphere to the extensive and impressive fully vegan food and drink menu, this place is one you do not want to pass on. Their portion sizes are great with very reasonable pricing. To find a vegan restaurant with a drink menu this incredibly large is rare. From Frose’ to beer to wine and slushees they have it all. Their food menu caters to non-vegans as well. I respect when a restaurant is so confident in their foods that they do not feel the need to even mention it is vegan. It’s remarkable because this is a location that will open many Non-Vegans eyes to the wonderful flavors that plant based diets are capable of. You can feel totally comfortable bringing your non-vegan friends here to eat and drink and they would be completely blown away and satisfied with a wide variety of mouth watering flavors. Not to mention they are dog friendly, they have a pool and a vibe that is too on trend to even put into words. Style: Brewery, outdoors, group setting, date night, upscale casual, casual, dog friendly Locations (SoCal): Anaheim (shown here) Point Loma, Santa Barbara, Encinitas, Los Angeles, North Park San Diego Price: $4-14 per item Recommendations/Photos Posted: Asada Fries, Cowboi Burger, Nashville Chicken Sando, Fried Green Tomatoes, Ice Cream Sando, Donut Holes. #veganrestaurant #vegan #veganbrewery #veganspot #vegandining #vegansocial #ocvegan #plantbased #socalvegan #moderntimesbrewery #veganbbq #veggieburger #veganchicken #veganasada #veganicecream #vegandonuts #brewery #socal #socaldining #socalfoodie #foodie #restaurantreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CHZe_d8BkGg/?igshid=1fwnp7uyt5a09
