Veggie Village

★★★★★ 4.7 (460) • $$

"My goodness! Now... I saw the photos and said this looks just like the food I used to eat when I ate meat... let me see how good it is. First of all, everything on the menu sounds delicious. I got the General Tso Chicken and that first bite... oh my. It had a good crunch on it and then went tender and the flavor... ON POINT! If I was staying in AZ longer, I would have gone back and tried all the things. The drinks are also delicious. I grabbed a pink passion. Since I dined in, I had to control my food dancing but trust me when I say you need to visit this spot. Seems like they do a lot of to-go orders but sitting inside is peaceful. When I came in I was greeted and seated instantly. The staff was very attentive. I also appreciated the level of care around cleanliness. This will be a stop every time I'm in town. Any wait to bring a travel buddy with me."

Ruchi Vegetarian South Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (412) • $$

"Excellent south Indian restaurant. This is my second time here. It's so close I don't know why I've waited so long to come back. We were greeted by the owner when we arrived. We asked for help with the menu, he asked a few questions and then said he would take care of us! I really appreciate having my dishes spicy. It's cooked when ordered so my meal was prepared how I wanted it! We had a complete experience in terms of great food, cleanliness, hospitality and a decent price for the food. We will definitely be back! * Keep in mind they are closed from 3-5:00."

"What a fun place to visit, the ambience is very chill and laid-back. The staff is very friendly, and there are a lot of people that brought their families and dates and businesses. We got the barbecue sandwich. It was most delicious along with the blueberry lavender and chocolate chip waffle ice cream we were so full afterwards it was a perfect portions. We sat right by the outdoor patio next to the window and had a view of the patio and outdoors such a cute and pleasant experience will definitely be back."

""Tacos Veganos" means exactly what you think it does - you're about to imbibe upon some vegan tacos (and other typical Mexican food staples). You place your order at the cashier and then they will call your order number when your order is ready. So that's the cue to go pick up your delicious meal!Every time I have been to Tacos Veganos, I have opted for tacos... and will continue to do so! The Al Pastor and Quesa Birria are my two favorite gluten-free "meats" and both truly addicting!I don't normally crave vegan food, but I do crave tacos... and when my vegan friends want to go to Tacos Veganos, then I will always be a "yes!"Overall rating:*****FIVE STARS*****Gluten-free rating:****FOUR STARS****"

★★★★★ 4.9 (188) • $

"This place is a gift sent from heaven and the owner is an amazing person. Family-owned, local, 100% vegan bakery in the community! Butter free, egg free, gluten free and vegan. I don't know how they make this magic but my tummy is so happy!! So comfortable, friendly and did I mention yummy!!! The restrooms are accessible and it's a great place to gather with a small group of friends. Parking lot is medium sized.The biggest surprise was the yummy vegan ice cream made out of macadamia nuts. It's a pleasure to be able to support local businesses. Oh yeah, their coffee was great too!On Fridays, they have Vegan food trucks. Looking forward to seeing all the options!"

Veggie Village

★★★★★ 4.6 (132) • $$

"Veggie Village is just a fabulous restaurant with vegan options. Located in a strip mall, with plenty of parking, it has very nice and clean exterior. Staff is friendly, and the chef will personally come and speak with customers about the food he made for them. He is truly vested into delivering tasty meals to his customers. Veggie potstickers were fantastic as appetizers. In fact I like them more than the traditional ones with pork. Miso soup is on the list of available appetizers, and it is fantastic! Garlic noodles and fried rice were equally good. Generous portions and friendly staff. Of particular note is the interior of the restaurant. Lots of custom made wooden decor as well as green color to go along with the veggie theme..."

Juice Core Organic

★★★★★ 4.5 (125) • $$

"Great place to stop for some green juice and something healthy. The decor is really aesthetic and they have crystals they also sell. I ordered the mint chip 16 oz and it was pretty tasty. The consistency isn't too thick and the mint is light and not overpowering. My cousins got the green juice and downed it quickly. They said it was refreshing and they felt ready for the day."

Mifan claypot kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (121) • $$

"So, so tasty! Everything that I tasted was so yummy. I decided that I had to eat a Claypot of something (after all it's in the name), but there's a lot of good option on the menu if you want a soup too or something else. My HK claypot of chicken seemed to kick up in spicy as I ate to the bottom! Very good flavor. I also enjoyed the cauliflower dish. I could also totally get hooked on the blueberry cider (I love blueberries) and this was so tasty!! Waitstaff members were wonderful!"

Voodoo Doughnut

★★★★☆ 3.8 (144) • $$

"Since I was in the area, I finally made it over to check out this place. I originally saw Voodoo Donuts-Portland featured on several food shows, so when I heard they were setting up shop in Tempe, I was excited to try them. I figured, it had been long enough for the craze to die down. Upon entering, i was immediately greeted by a young lady that was assisting other customers. After she was done with checking them out, she offered to take my order or check back. I was busy looking at the showcase, so I said i was not ready. She offered a counter laminated product sheet and said she would give me some time. She was very friendly, professional and courteous (Tea D, I believe is her name). Once I was ready to order is was ready to take my order. I opted for a few donuts I wanted to try (for to go) one of which was the infamous Voodoo Doll with raspberry filling & a pretzel stick poked into it. I didn't get to look around too much, but I did notice the bakery/kitchen has large window looking into it. The place was very clean and the smell of fresh donuts in the air. The donuts appeared to be fresh and traveled well on my trip back to Mesa area (in the large pink box). I will definitely return to try others soon."

Homage Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.9 (83) • $$

"Cute coffee shop with delicious coffee and sweets! I had the Cardamom Rose latte, and the Cherry Apricot Apple Turnover and BOTH were perfect! Free street parking with patio seating and seating inside too."

Kare Ethiopian Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (64)

"The food!! GO! Now!! I literally texted my friends, a picture of my dinner, and said buy your plane ticket. Don't be scared off by the outside. It's got a parking lot and once you get through the front door, you are transformed into a welcoming space. They offer beer wine, and it looks like hard liquor. I don't drink, but I had a lovely pot of hot cinnamon tea. The food was spectacular. Everything I had was delicious. Just go you won't be disappointed."

Cinnaholic

★★★★☆ 3.9 (83) • $

"Someone's child was working here just about every time I visited. He was mannerable, but he was sniffing and kept wiping his runny nose with his gloved hand and proceeded to attempt to handle food. I hate to be that person, but I had to call him out on it (only after I saw him start to handle food). I essentially told him that I saw him just wipe his nose, so he needed to wash his hands and put on a fresh pair of gloves. He complied, but he was salty about it. I know staffing issues plague multiple businesses, but you cannot just leave a child to run your business if you want to stay in business.I tried their Bad and Bougie (topped with creme brûlée frosting, raspberries, and caramel drizzle; I omitted the almonds), Unicorn (strawberry frosting, sprinkles, marshmallows, and cinnamon dust), and a build your own cinnamon roll with maple frosting, brownie bites, marshmallows, and caramel sauce. The Unicorn roll was my favorite, but my BYO was also rich and divinely decadent. Snotty nosed kid aside, I like Cinnaholic and campaigned for them to come to the PHX area since 2012. Now this is just one of many locations in the valley of the sun. This location is closest to me, but I'd venture down to Tempe based on what I've witnessed."

Pressed Juicery

★★★★☆ 4 (44)

"This business took the place of Menchie's, which is a positive change. My friend had been here before and like their freezes, so we stopped in one evening to get some. I got their smore's one and my friend got their cookie one. My dessert came with vanilla soft serve but I swapped it for chocolate instead, and it was topped with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and granola. I love that everything is vegan! It was pretty tasty as well. My friend enjoyed her sundae and got it with a vanilla and chocolate swirl.There are a lot of juice options here (obviously) but I didn't try any this visit, maybe next time. Staff was friendly and the shop is bright and clean."
