Best Vegan Restaurants in Del Mar Heights

"Superfood Acai Bowl at Trilogy Sanctuary|Courtesy of Sanctuary. Trilogy Sanctuary is a yoga studio, as well as a café serving vegan fare. The menu offers smoothies, bowls, salads, soups, and desserts on top of heartier fare like vegan pasta and burgers."

"What we found: Trilogy Sanctuary was highly recommended on the Happy Cow app. We decided to stop by for lunch on Thursday after visiting the beautiful beach in La Jolla. The all-vegan, 100% organic restaurant is only one part of Trilogy Sanctuary."

"You’ll never see a more heavy-metal, exclusively vegan restaurant, and that’s not just because of the Black Sabbath and Misfits playing over the sound system. The decor blends the aesthetic of a 1920s Parisian cocktail bar with that of European comic magazines like Heavy Metal and 2000 AD right down to a custom cocktail menu where the drinks sport names derived from mythology, horror, and science fiction. It also has some of the most unique and delicious food you’ll ever eat."

"Hit up this hip spot for vegan fare in a quirky-cool atmosphere. Menu highlights include char-grilled seitan skewers, beer batter palm tacos, and cookie dough truffles, all served alongside creative cocktails and local craft beers. The edgy design and concept have been described as “trailblazing” by Revolver magazine, which wrote a lengthy profile on the restaurant upon its opening."

"You’ll happily go vegan for a day at cocktail bar/restaurant KINDRED. This South Park eatery serves both awesome vegan cuisine and creative drinks—all in a beautiful, funky space. KINDRED offers dinner and drinks daily and brunch on weekends."

"Plumeria offers delicious vegetarian and vegan Thai food (with an optional egg in some dishes). As an added bonus, they don’t use MSG and they only use organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free tofu that is made locally. Plumeria is located on Park Blvd. in the heart of University Heights."

"The restaurant itself is pretty small and the only thing I don't like about it is that there's only street parking so..."

"In addition to sandwiches, salads (Mediterranean quinoa, seared albacore) and pizzas (Brussels sprout & wild mushroom, house-made chicken sausage), you’ll find perfectly portioned entrees, including a pan roasted chicken and Scottish steelhead salmon on the menu at this health-conscious café. Stay refreshed with tonics, teas and sodas like the Honey Bee Ginger Beer or enjoy a lunchtime tipple with a Citrus Skinny Margarita"

"Everyone knows that San Diego is BIG but to be honest until the past 10 years the food scene was pretty predictable with mainly big tourist restaurants and unknown and unmemorable neighborhood eateries. However this has changed with celebrity chefs opening up shop and local chefs feeding their neighborhoods. There are plenty to choose from but here are my top picks for the Best of the Rest in San Diego dining."

"Another great brunch spot that I used to go to all the time when I lived in North County. It has a Mexican food twist to all the dishes, but super CLEAN & fresh. I get the yin & yang breakfast which is rosemary potatoes, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, red bean, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, & a tortilla (I add poached eggs on top) & their golden fairy dust latte which is chai tea, ginger, cinnamon, sub the soy milk for almond milk… to die for!!!"

"First, choose between a basic buttermilk or organic whole grain gluten-free batter for your pancakes. Then, add the toppings of your choice from wild blueberry to toasted coconut and mango. Moreover, there are vegan pancakes too."

"They have four different locations each week, including North Park and Hillcrest Farmers’ Market. It’s worth making the effort to figure out their schedule, considering the rich selection of vegan burritos, burgers, wraps, and bowls. All of their dishes are made to order, so it’s up to you to choose your favorite seasonings."

"Founded in 1973, it was the first museum to build a planetarium and IMAX dome on site, offering its guests a wide range of entertainment options even as it educated them on scientific subjects. Other museums quickly went “hey, that’s a good idea” and copied the design, and now, you can’t throw a rock without hitting a museum dome. The good news is that the Fleet Science Center is still just as fun as it was in the ’70s."

"Children of all ages are in for a real treat when visiting the Fleet Science Center. From virtual reality to interactive exhibits and the world’s first IMAX Dome Theater, most folks are having too much fun to realize they’re learning!. In the IMAX Theater, see the biggest films on the planet and feel the sensation of floating in space."

"And maybe you and the husband would like to try out a couple of things yourself. There are weight galleries that have about 100 hands-on exhibits for children and grown ups to navigate. You can explore the concept of gravity and how it works."

"The San Diego Asian Pacific Historic District, San Diego’s historic Chinatown, is an eight-block district adjacent to and in part overlapping with the Gaslamp Quarter Historic District. The San Diego Chinatown is bounded by Market Street on the north, 2nd Ave. on the west, 6th ave. on the east and J st. on the south. 22 structures are considered historically contributing."

"The Chinese Historical Museum displays Chinese-American art, culture and history. Housed in a restored mission-style building, exhibits include miniature models, historic photographs and rare artifacts related to the heritage of San Diego’s Chinese community. *Small donation requested."

"The husband and wife duo operating Copa Vida originally began their entrepreneurial journey with a lone noodle shop, following the sale of that first business, they looked forward to bringing about a community-oriented cafe where anybody could feel welcome. Their Carlsbad coffee stand does just the trick out of a beautifully renovated shipping container plopped atop an outdoor terrace positioned in the middle of professional office buildings. When it comes to java, Copa Vida brilliantly partners with multiple roasters in an effort to consistently showcase a variety of flavors and tastes that are savored by a myriad of palettes."

"Tyler and I actually weren’t even aware that Copa Vida, another amazing San Diego chain, had a location in Carlsbad until very recently. It’s in the middle of a business park–it’s actually nestled in a courtyard surrounded by a handful of tech companies. This Copa Vida is open 7:30am-4pm on weekdays and is closed on Saturday and Sunday."

"The owner is Gaetano Cicciotti, also the owner of the Italian Restaurant, Cicciotti’s right across the street (they also have a location in Cardiff-by-the-Sea). Their menu includes cafe caldo (hot coffees) such as espresso, hazelnut mocha, & event an affogato al caffe (espresso, vanilla gelato, & cocoa powder). They have frappes, smoothies, & a food menu with a range of sandwiches, fresh pastries, muffins, & more."

"Cafe Ground Up is an Italian coffee shop, offering a little slice of Italy to Carlsbad. It is owned by the same owners of the Italian restaurant, Cicciotti’s, right across the street!. Cafe Ground Up is a bright and inviting space, with delicious Italian coffee and amazing Italian treats."
