Glowing Plant-Based Eatery - Los Angeles, California

Cute cafe with vegan food, smoothies, and groceries! We came in here for lunch and everyone was really friendly and the food was great. I got the Italian and my partner got the BLT and both were great! Absolutely could've told me they weren't vegan and I would have believed you! Also saw zach woods on our way out the door which was fun 😊

Walking in here I was pleasantly greeted by the staff. The service was friendly and there are some unique vegan options. I ordered a ginger shot and when my ginger shot came out green the staff said they hadn’t cleaned the machine and offered to clean it and remake it, which I appreciated, but shouldn’t they be cleaning the juicer in between? Why is that even a question?

I did ask them to clean the machine and make me a new ginger shot, to be just ginger. It was fine.

I’d go back to this place for some of the unique packaged foods, but I’ll stay away from the prepared onsite juices.

One of the cutest vegan places I've come across in SoCal. The chocolate brownie is SO rich and full of chocolate that it is indistinguishable from a non vegan doughnut. Definitely a hot place for people who are traveling and want a quick & affordable snack. The protein oatmeal is $7 and tastes so great; the only small complaint I have is the protein powder sits at the bottom.

Absolutely delicious vegan sandwiches! These are some of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. Fresh, delicious, high-quality bread and veggies. The sauces used really add amazing flavor. There is nothing to complain about except that Glowing is a little far from me. The only thing I would add is that I wished they carried some side options like chips or fries.

Edit: Just want to add that I have ordered from this place 4 times now, and each time has been absolutely delicious. This will now be one of my favorite vegan lunch spots in LA. My nonvegan family also loves them, and I even had an issue with one inquiring, "Why do vegans want to eat meat?" because they couldn't tell the difference between the delicious plant-based meats used lol.

I'm giving the food and Chuggacino that i received 5 stars even though I didn't receive my Metal Detox juice. I ordered via Uber, so I'm not sure who messed that up. But all good, I guess, got my refund. The BLT tasted so real I had to look this eatery up because I wasn't sure if it doubled as a regular kitchen as well and got scared I was eating real animal products, so that's how good their plant based options are!! On the delivery app, they give you the option to let them choose the donut flavor, or you can request a favorite or least favorite with no guarantees. I thought about saying no to the chocolate option, but I figured since I've never tried any of them, I'd just leave it up to chance, and what do you know.... I got the chocolate one, and it was amazing. The only thing that could make it better is heated up with a scoop of ice cream!!! I don't know that I would pay $70 for delivery again, but if I'm in that neighborhood, I'm definitely stopping in to order and hopefully get to try the juice next time!

So lucky to discover this place. So much to choose from vegan and gluten-free options. I had creamy kale salad with chickpea tuna and dressing, then we tried the potato salad, and two smoothies, muladhara and anti-inflammatory smoothie. Everything was delicious, my new favorite spot! And don't forget to buy gluten-free donut!

I get the BLT every time I come here, it's such a well-balanced sandwich. The veggies and lettuce are dressed and the spread is magic.
I also really like the bread, it's like a ciabatta and a drop biscuit had a love child.

Seating is fairly limited and parking even more so, but it's worth scouting out.

Great spot to get juices, smoothies, and snacks. The employees are nice, it’s clean and has a funky vibe. I’m going to try the juices the next time I’m In the area. If you’re out for a walk this is a good place to get your snack.
