Best Vegan Restaurants in Lake Murray

"I love a good healthy vegan cafe and yoga studio combo, and San Diego has a great one called Trilogy Sanctuary. The cafe is located in La Jolla, already one of the most stunning neighborhoods in San Diego. It’s also a rooftop cafe so you can soak up all those sparkling ocean views and San Diego sunshine while filling your body with good ol’ vegan nutrition."

"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."

"Vegan and vegetarian food are served in a beautiful rooftop environment at Trilogy Sanctuary. Come for a yoga class and make sure to stay for the food afterwards."

"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."

"If you’re looking for a unique vegan experience in San Diego, don’t miss out on Kindred, an eccentric bar in Golden Hill that features death metal music and a fully vegan menu. Probably the best thing about this place, besides the vegan options, is the decor and overall atmosphere. Think punk, a little edgy, but still classy in its own way."

"Kindred is a gem of a spot — serving delicious vegan fare, weekend brunches, and smooth cocktails. The décor here is eclectic and fun. Its feel is a blend of modern, feminine, and vintage, with fun art pieces mounted on its colorful walls."

"Located in University Heights, Plumeria offers a Thai-inspired menu of high-quality vegetarian and vegan foods (egg can be added to some dishes as an option). 4661 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92116 (7 miles away)http://www.myplumeria.com/. View this post on Instagram"

"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"

"Billing itself an "organic health bar," this little cafe in the heart of La Jolla's village serves natural, organic breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Salads and wraps can be made to order, with customers checking off the items they want; each item comes with a symbol signifying whether it's organic, vegan and/or gluten-free. Specialties include the Acai Bowls, which include the trendy fruit along with strawberries, mango, coconut, granola and soy milk; fresh fruit smoothies; and protein shakes."

"Salads and wraps to die for, plus some delicious protein shakes that will keep you going the rest of the day."

"One of the most famous vegan restaurants in San Diego, some say Donna Jean has become too hyped up, but I think it’s worth visiting at least once for some tasty home-cooked vegan food. It has became hyped up for a reason, after all (hint: the food is all kinds of gooey delicious). Donna Jean serves up plant-based vegan homestyle comfort food, so they’re not the healthiest vegan spot on this list."

"Opened in 2017, Donna Jean serves creative vegan comfort foods. Dishes include handmade pastas, entrees such as mac and cheese and risotto, and award-winning pizzas; they’re also open for brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant was opened by chef Roy Elam in honor of his mother, Donna Jean, who passed away from breast cancer."

"Just north of Banker’s Hill, you’ll find Donna jean — a homey eatery featuring vegan food, kombucha, beer, and a lovely patio and herb garden. 2949 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 (6.3 miles away)https://donnajeanrestaurant.com/. View this post on Instagram"

"In-N-Out Burger is just a classic fast food chain out West, it originated in California in 1948. It’s famous because the chain has barely changed since then. Stepping into an In-N-Out Burger will take you back to the 40’s with its interior design, same small menu, similar prices, and high quality!"

"Barrio LoganWe’ve come a long way from when White Claw was the new big thing in hard beverages — now there’s more than 100 brands of hard seltzer alone, with hard lemonade, hard coffee, hard kombucha, and now, hard yerba mate entering the market as well. Barrio Logan’s brand new taproom, Kové Hard Yerba Mate, serves up the world’s first hard version of this popular South American tea-like brew in four different flavors; mojito, lemonade iced tea, mango colada, and passion berry. At a moderate 5% ABV, Kové’s version is organic, vegan, and gluten-free, making it practically a health food."

"Imperial Beach’s casual cafe specializes in sandwiches and salads but you’ll also want to come for the views of the beach located across the street."

"Copa Vida is more than a series of beautifully curated coffee shops, bookable coffee carts and a catering business, it is an authentic, welcoming hub for the neighborhoods it inhabits in both Los Angeles and San Diego. Besides the supremely delicious coffee brewed to suit a wide variety of palettes, the bread is baked in-house and the menu is simple and delicious, served everyday from 7am-11am with a brunch on Saturday and Sundays from 8am-3pm."

"Copa Vida is another one of the best coffee shops in San Diego. What's great about this coffee shop is that they want you to feel comfortable at their locations. They say you are a member of their community once you enter their shop!"

"Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and almost always packed with many people working away on their laptops. Although it’s quite a big coffee shop the cozy atmosphere almost makes it feel like you are at home. Plus they offer good coffee, great sandwiches, and good Wifi."
