Green Door Cafe is such a vibe! It’s an alley in the wall cafe with tons of greenery and cute vibes to match. We tried the French toast and a flatbread. The French toast (while small) was absolutely packed with flavor! I highly recommend giving it a try! On the other hand, the flatbread wasn’t for me. Next time I’ll definitely try something else — there’s so many vegan options to choose from!

Visiting from out of state so wanted to check a local vegan spot, this place did not disappoint. Went on a Sunday evening and wasn't busy or crowded. Service was perfect and knowledgeable to recommend a few things. We tried the Buddha bowl, artisan pesto pizza, and the pumpkin late. The Buddha bowl was filling tasty dish, what I expected from it. The artisan Pesto pizza was my favorite from the evening. The sauces worked well together, and the crust was the perfect amount of crispy but just enough to make it toasted. The pumpkin Pate was a delightful little snack, very smooth and creamy. Overall a great dining experience with good food. Happy I stopped in.

I'm not going to lie, we had extremely high hopes for this place with the high google rating and it being vegan... BUT! It seemed like all the food (even the Mac and cheese) was seasoned with Mexican spices. The Mac and cheese was just as sour as a lemon and quite bitter (none of the creamy buttery deliciousness you look forward to) the tomato soup had unshelled pumpkin seeds that couldn't be eaten, and the jackfruit tacos were soft and overpowered again by a sour sauce, missing some jalapeno or something like that. Taste wise this place deserves a 1 star. They opened up an hour and a half late, and then the food was terrible. The atmosphere was okay, and the service nice but slow. The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 from me is because they're vegan and gluten free... Sorry, maybe the chef needs to try some non-vegan food before trying to copy things we know and love, or not copy those things and instead do already vegan food like curries or Buddha bowls.

Gluten free vegan heaven!!! Everything was so well seasoned and delicious. We got the Reuben, pesto panini, and the French toast. Service was fantastic and I def felt safe dining on their outdoor patio

Do you have Happy Hour? If so, what is the drink and snack menu and at what time does it start and every day?

They do have a happy hour for drinks, not sure about the menu. It may be on their website.

When we were in LaJolla about 4 years ago, I experienced your AMAZING food! You used some edible plants in your dishes. Unfortunately I don't remember what I had. Can you tell me what edible plants you usually use in your dishes at the market?

Pea sprouts, micro greens & edible flowers (pansies,orchids) we use seasonal plants so it changes through the year
