Powerplant Superfood Cafe

After a long day of biking around my city, I FINALLY came here for some food. I've had this place on my list for a while but never ordered delivery since I'm too far away, haha, but I came today! I ordered the PowerMac burger w/ avocado and a slice of cornbread. The Mac comes with two patties, but I really only wanted one, so I took one off when eating it. It's good, healthy, and the texture of the patty didn't remind of beef which is a good thing. Don't really know how to describe the taste on its own, but the "meat" works well with this sandwich. I didn't know it had pickles until my 5th bite, but a very good addition. Ya can't have a burger without pickles. There's also lettuce shreds throughout, but their small. The added avocado was yummy. I'm not a fan of coleslaw as a side, but I wanted to try this purple one, and yeah... Still not for me, hahaa. I had about two bites and placed it to the side. Talk about CORNbread. I was expecting a bakery-style bread, but it was ACTUAL corn within the bread and had a grayish color from all the ingredients most likely. It wasn't bad, came with this orange sauce and butter. I barely had the butter, but had the orange sauce with the burger. It had this taste. Again, can't describe it, but it was giving me Thousand Island Dressing vibes. I mainly ate the crust and parts of the middle. Not what I was expecting as cornbread. The service is so nice and positive! The two women working there are hella sweet and make your experience really welcoming. They both had on masks, but I could tell the one with her hair in a ponytail was smiling when I was ordering. She also asked if I wanted water since she most likely saw me SWEATING, hahahhaa. Sitting outside allowed my body to cool back down to homeostasis. There's only outdoor seating, but hella space. You can either sit near the door or down further near the meters. The high chairs are packed up inside. I was able to eat most of my food and leave there feeling satisfied about the service. Even though the food didn't stand out to me, the service definitely sold it for me. :)

We came to visit family, but we have a celiac daughter & I have a severe sensitivity to gluten, our other daughter can't have dairy...makes eating in a place outside of my kitchen very rough. This place is so awesome! The guy at the counter was super helpful & even made me the best coffee I've ever had! We didn't have to wonder or worry what was ok to eat or ask any questions (about ingredients)...walk in, eat. Super simple! Getting all 4 kids to eat something & like it, from the same place (outside of a taco stand) has never happened until this place. On top of which, we don't eat sugar, nitrates, artificial anything... This place was a god-send! The window says love is the secret ingredient & they didn't lie!

Powerplant has one of my favorite gluten-free vegan burgers - The Power Mac Veggie Burger. Powerplant offers gluten-free, organic, and plant-based options, and many of the items on the menu are naturally vegan or can be made vegan. You'll find clean tables inside and outside, polite and helpful staff, and reasonable prices. The power mac veggie burger is $12 with a side and is plenty for lunch or dinner. I love adding the Khao Soi Soup. I'll definitely order a large bowl during my next visit. They offer delivery and takeout options, special seasonal menus to keep you coming back for more, and metered parking outside. I've been to Powerplant twice, and I only wish it wouldn't take me 1 hour each way to visit. I hope you consider adding a second location. Maybe Santa Monica? : )

I came here to meet a friend and really enjoyed my food. I ordered the Watermelon Gazpacho and it is phenomenal! It's seasonal (only through summer), so come and eat as much as you can. My order came with a Blue Corn Bread which is delicious. Do yourself a favor and stop by. The staff is friendly and helpful. You won't be disappointed.
