"Those sweet potato fries, though! If you're looking for low carb, whole grain vegan food, look no further. We had the Twister Wrap and the Orange Cauliflower Bowl yesterday -- absolute yumminess. The Twister Wrap is a low-carb option for those of you who care, but it's the most flavorful crispy "chicken" wrap I've had in a while. You get all the textures, which makes this handheld food perfect. (You get the option of grilled or buffalo style as well.) I highly recommend the chipotle sauce option! The wrap comes with a side, and of course I chose sweet potato fries (see my note below).The Orange Cauliflower Bowl looks like real orange chicken and the mix of corn, brown rice, scramble was just the perfect mix. The knowledgeable ladies who took our orders were super accommodating and just very cool about our requests. Our food was executed perfectly. Portion-wise, were both noticing that it was just the right amount.Bonus, which gave this place a 5 stars right away was their decaf and no-sugar iced tea option: hibiscus tea. Hoping their dessert parfaits options will come sugar free some day, or at least low sugar, because I want to destroy those in the best way possible.Also, hat tip to our Uber driver who recommended the sweet potato fries (LOL). They were crispy on the outside and soft in the center. That salt, pepper, herb and cinnamon (?) sprinkle over the fries was just... wow. I'm going to try to recreate it at home because I can't stop thinking about it.Came here for dinner yesterday on a windy evening in Denver! Got specific here as I heard they're planning to expand elsewhere, so I hope they come to L.A.!"

"I have to write this review because I do not want you to miss the Orange Almond French Toast. It is absolutely magically delicious! Somewhere between a breakfast and a dessert, this dish will delight every one of your 5 senses! Smells great, tastes delightful, looks pretty, nice feel in your mouth, and you will hear your dining partner gasp and exclaim that this is the best French toast on the planet.Service is average, not super friendly but they were busy."

Gladys Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (64)

"This is an amazing vegan/plant-based place recommended by the owner of the Greek restaurant right across from it (I first went there to order their veggie plate. The owner then asked me if I was a vegetarian or vegan. Whereas I tend to order a lot of vegetarian/vegan dishes when I'm out, I do eat meat from time to time so answer to his question it was "No, I am not" but since he insisted that I go check out the vegan/plant-based place, not his restaurant (lol!!) I went here. And I didn't regret a bit!!)However they came up with the recipe of this dish is beyond phenomenal. The main base is the cashew milk as it is creamy. And there is this hint of sourness which I didn't know where it was coming from. But as soon as I read the ingredients I had this "Aha" moment: It's the shallot. Let's not forget about the customer service. The guy who took my order was very pleasant and welcoming. I asked him about the most popular items on the menu and he said the one I had in mind (Tofu) was definitely one of them. He also said that it's very hearty as well. To pick this dish as my very first dish at my very first visit at this restaurant was the right thing to do so I highly recommend that you get this at your first visit. Believe me, it is sooo good. If I go ahead and become frank about the tofu dish though, its portion is a bit small for the price. Also, wild rice (one of the ingredients) was barely there so my request is that the restaurant increases the amount of rice they put in this dish so that it'll be more noticeable.I really liked the succulent decoration on the wall to the right of the restaurant; it truly echoes the theme of the cuisine they offer. I simply cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu. The next one might be the Reuben sandwich (and this is plant based as well, of course!!) Goodness, this restaurant is definitely ahead of the plant-based cuisine game for sure."

"Love this place! Chef Aaron and his team never disappoint. We had the tacos and Reuben sandwich - still can't believe this delicious food is all vegan. If you have not tried the food here yet you need to check it out!"

The Corner Beet

"This little darling in Caphil will be a decade old in its location this coming August. It's been quietly sitting at the corner of North Ogden and 14th Avenue. Serving creative made from scratch clean eats to their increasing fan base. It started as a cold pressed juice company. The owner realized the place can offer more than juice due to its size. They started offering coffee, toasts, salads and more! This plant loving spot has such a welcoming vibe. We dropped by for a quick brunch which they offer on weekends. True confession. We're meat eaters but we always strive to eat healthy. So here we go! Everything we tried was honest to goodness delicious! My fave was the Thai Peanut Salad. Texture and taste was above what I expected it to be. I'm ecstatic! The Falefel Wrap. Freshly cooked falafel is the way to go! Filling and oh so tasty! The Zaatar Flatbread was company's favorite. Their bakery is vegetarian but they have lots of vegan and gluten free options. Their bakery is 100% vegan.

"Delicious Thai food at this little restaurant near Pindustry and Carerra's tacos. I got the massaman curry with chicken which had very delicious flavors. The carrots were particularly amazing to me. Great flavors! I also had their raspberry basil lemonade which was very tasty and refreshing. Will be back next time I'm in the area."

Smoky Hill Indian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.6 (154) • $$

"First time trying this place since moving to this area. Only got take out, the food is delicious. I should've gotten hot, the medium is mild, but like I said first time trying here. Their garlic is more puffy than some other Indian places and their samosas are a little smaller but flavorful. Will try them again, my food was ready for pickup in 20 minutes."

"Great place if you're looking for healthy/lighter fare. You get plenty of food for your $. The flavors are great. The staff is friendly. Love supporting this place."

Fellow Traveler

"We had such a lovely experience here. The server was wonderful - very attentive. If you get nothing else - get the cauliflower. It was so delicious. It was the star of the meal and we tried many things.The tacos had good flavor but they were the least memorable item we had. Pineapple fried rice - YUM!!!I also had a phenomenal old fashioned as well. As a gluten-free person it was a carefully selected restaurant and 60% of the menu is gluten-free but another 30% could be made to be gluten-free. I was not expecting this cute, trendy, hipster, place from the unassuming front but it was wonderful. I wished that I had more time in Denver to be able to make it to their brunch; next time?The only annoying part about this is that the parking in the area is a PITA and we went during the week during the day."

Next Level Burger Denver

★★★★★ 4.5 (119) • $$

"Im not vegan but my aunt is and she asked if we could go here for lunch so I was happy to try it.You order on a little kiosk, which was convenient. The food was a bit expensive but I know it's not normal fast food. It came out pretty quickly and everything was so good. I would have never known it's wasn't real meat. My burger did fall apart kind of easily but it was so good I didn't care!I'd definitely go back if I saw another location."

V Revolution

"This is a plant-based vegan/vegetarian casual eatery that serves Asian fusion food. Until my new friend suggested this to be our little lunch get-together place the past Wednesday, I had no clue about its existence (or I had heard about it but the knowledge somehow fell into oblivion.) Therefore, I owe my friend huge thanks.I couldn't wait to dine here. I browsed the menu a few times online beforehand so that I wouldn't be so indecisive when I got here on the day of. Japanese Katsu Rice Bowl caught my attention but I thought I'd try to be spontaneous was my intention.I jinxed it. I got me the Katus Bowl when I got here. I mean at least that would be a great starter item to pick for my very first visit.My friend said what she likes about this place is that they serve food in a to-go container even if it's a dine-in. That way, people would not feel so obligated to finish all of their food; they can always take the rest home with them to avoid food waste. I kind of agree with this concept because both my friend and I could not finish our food as the portions here are pretty generous.I truly enjoyed my Katus Rice Bowl. At the first impression, the entire food looked salty (I simply dislike salty food.) I was wrong (and glad to be wrong!!.) Although there was a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce over the katsu part, it wasn't salty at all. And the veggies that were underneath the katsu were cooked to the perfect texture. In other words, they weren't soggy or too raw.This restaurant is surrounded by hospitals and medical offices. It must be very popular amongst those workers from those places. Although on a Wednesday that seemed typical, we were one of the few people who dined here during the peak noon lunch time. The lady at the ordering counter said that this place opened during the peak of the pandemic. I truly hope that they are getting enough foot traffic. For a restaurant that focuses on plant-based only food, they should get more accolades from people who prefer this type of diet. With that said, they have my utmost support for sure!! I'll definitely be back soon. I will try one of the noodle bowls at my next visit."

Chaang Thai

"Service: A+Food: A+Just be sure to make a reservation since the indoor seating is very limited. The medium spice-level is just perfect for these noodles and the (not pictured) egg rolls. Lastly, don't skip on their Thai iced tea or coffee to complete your meal.The egg rolls were filled with yummy veggies and were served fresh and crunchy.The noodles were savory and the veggies-to-meat combo was just right!Looks like I've found my fav Thai place in COS."

"The best Indian food I've had in colorado so far. Delicious butter chicken, dal soup, and saag paneer. Flavorful, warm, complex. Nice service, and I enjoyed the bowls the food was platted in. It wasn't fancy by any means, but a great quick easy meal. Probably wonderful for takeout. Great garlic naan too!"

Ola Juice Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (217) • $$

"Wonderful! We are visiting Colorado Springs and found this juice bar on Yelp. I enjoy açaí bowls but many times they are too sweet. Christina at Ola made it perfectly! I also got one of their pressed juices. It's one of the best I have ever had. Ola Juice Bar is also in a great location with some indoor and outdoor seating."

Wave The Grain - Littleton

★★★★☆ 4 (18)

"A delicious allergy-friendly bakery! A friend and I were interested in trying out their Gluten, dairy, and soy-free sourdough bread so I went to pick up an order. Even though the website states that it's free of all the things I listed above, when I got there, they said that they spray the pan with a soy spray and I am allergic to soy. I wish they would opt to use a more neutral oil that's allergy-friendly, such as avocado oil spray. I was not able to pick up a loaf so that was super disappointing, but the ladies who work there were so gracious to order me a custom loaf, free of all the things, and at no extra charge. It took about a week to get a loaf for myself, but it was worth the wait! It was so delicious even though it felt super dense, it was the perfect texture and great for slicing to make some toast. The sourdough loaves were $15 a piece so not the cheapest but for a fresh gluten-free bread, it's worth it! I also got some pumpkin and chocolate breads, each for six dollars a piece so it's definitely a splurge but they were delicious especially when you heat them just slightly. I'm so glad that the bakery is just a short trip down the road from my house. I'll definitely be making more trips here soon!"

City O' City

"Its great to have so many vegan options! It was hard to choose and everything sounded great. I had the Chophouse Burger with a side of mustard glazed greens. I always ask about veggie burgers because so many places serve premade frozen patties but this was not a frozen patty. The burger was delicious!"

Sweet Elizabeth's Organics

★★★★★ 4.9 (34)

"Needed something light and tasty. Stopped into this place on my way to check out Garden of the Gods. Got a bowl loaded with veggies. I can't recall the name of it. It was a little more money than I anticipated spending , but you can tell they use high quality ingredients, so I understand why. All in all a great option if you're looking for a quick and healthy meal."

Elephant Thai

★★★★★ 4.5 (128) • $$

"This is my new favorite Thai spot. I received my order via door-dash so I didn't get to see the inside or interact with the staff, but the food was delicious! The pad Thai was the perfect balance of seasonings, spices and flavor and the spring rolls were flavorful and the perfect amount of crunch. I highlyyyhh recommend this spot."

Natural Epicurean

★★★★☆ 4.1 (52) • $$

"Located in the building I stayed in, I wandered down for coffee because I couldn't figure out the high brown coffee maker in my room. Once I got there and saw the crossiants I was hooked. I had an Almond Crossiant that I will forever judge every other by! It was huge and so delicious. As was the Yogurt Parfait and coffee. Prices were reasonable for the quality. I took mine upstairs to dine on my balcony, but there was ample seating.Open mornings and closes early afternoon. I wished it was open 24 hours, but realize that's not realistic."
