| Flacos | Went on Saturday for lunch. I love the new restaurant, and the food is excellent. I had the soft tacos plate. The mole sauce is wonderful, as are the rice and beans. I tried the horchata (rice milk drink) and it's a new favorite drink now. Everything was great.  | 2010-05-03 |
| Souley Vegan | A friend and I split the Everything Platter. Everything was very tasty. My favorites were the Southern Fried Tofu and the Potato Salad, but it was really hard to choose. The Cornbread was excellent, also. Then I had Sweet Potato Pie for dessert, and that was the ultimate - so sweet and creamy, the best I've ever had. I'd go back there any time I was in the area. The server was very friendly.  | 2009-11-16 |
| The Stanford Inn | I really enjoyed this place. The rooms are nice, all with fireplaces, and most with views. The food is all veg, and mostly vegan. Breakfast is included - best pancakes I've ever had. Dinner is rather expensive, but worth it. In the afternoon, they provide wine, tea and snacks in the lobby, as well as treats brought to your room. Nice people, great service.  | 2008-10-27 |
| Central Vegetarian Cuisine | It's great that there is now a veg restaurant in Alameda. The menu is very much like Golden Lotus in Oakland. Everything is not vegan, so you need to be sure to specify if you want vegan.Food was very good, except for the Black China cake, which was very stale. So be sure to ask if the cake if fresh that day before you buy it.  | 2008-05-09 |
| Cha-Ya | It's so nice to eat lunch in an all vegan restaurant! I'd recommend all the dishes I tried: the avocado roll was very good; the tempura was excellent, not oily like some others I've had, and it comes with rice and a really good soup as a first course; the ice cream sundae was a great end to a very enjoyable meal.  | 2008-01-30 |
| New World Vegan | Everything I've had here has been good. They have a large selection of vegan dishes. I especially like their variety of vegan desserts.  | 2008-01-27 |
| Sol Food | This place is really good. The Vegetariano platter is very tasty and nicely presented. Next time I'll try the vegan coconut pudding.  | 2007-10-04 |
| Bangkok Thai Express | The menu includes many items that are vegan or can be made vegan. Lunch specials are very reasonably priced and include two vegan options (garlic veggies and pad thai - no egg). The food is excellent, the staff pleasant and friendly.  | 2007-08-30 |
| Pizza Plaza | I thought the pizza was excellent. We tried the pesto veggie and the chick-fu. Both were very tasty. We gave the edge to chick-fu because of the sun dried tomatoes. The crust is whole grain with perfect texture, the pesto sauce was great, and there were lots of toppings with not too much cheese, which is best on a vegan pizza. I'd rate them 5+. The cheesecake was excellent, too.  | 2007-08-26 |
| Golden Lotus | I still say this is the best vegan restaurant in the East Bay. I can't believe it has fallen out of the top ten. New discovery: Teriyaki "Chicken" served on a bed of fresh spinach. All dishes are great. Favorites: too many to list; try the carmelized chicken.  | 2006-09-03 |
| Manzanita Restaurant | Really enjoyed the Sat. buffet. Greens were excellent, as well as the other vegetable dish. The rice patties with gravy were very tasty, salad mix was good with great dressing. Friendly people, too.  | 2005-11-23 |
| Animal Place | The tour was great, and the up-close interaction with the animals was something we rarely have a chance to do. I highly recommend it.  | 2005-08-07 |
| BayLeaf Cafe | The wraps are wonderful-tasty and filling. They have specials you can taste if not sure what you want. Desserts include Maggie Mudd ice cream. Nice touch - AR/veg books to read while you wait.  | 2005-07-28 |
| Hobee's | Breakfast includes all you can eat oatmeal. Many great vegan toppings to add, including coconut, nuts, dried fruit. Too bad the baked goods are not vegan. Also on menu - tofu scramble.  | 2005-07-28 |
| Gelateria Naia | This is a great place when you want a real treat. The gelato is wonderful: creamy and delicious. Everything is presented beautifully- fresh fruit or nuts on top of each flavor to show what's in it.  | 2005-04-11 |
| Fellini | Saturday Brunch: Great vegan selection. Menu states all vegan dishes prepared in "vegan-only" pans. Owner really wants vegan clientele. Ranked 4 only because not vegan-only restaurant, otherwise 5!  | 2005-03-20 |
| Sparks | I went to Sparks for my second time on Sunday for brunch. The benedict was great. My sister had the blueberry pancakes, which were yummy. We took home a peanut butter bar - don't miss those!  | 2004-08-23 |
| Whole Foods Market | This is my favorite place to shop, for the great vegan food and for people watching. Great selection of vegan and organic foods. Expensive.  | 2004-05-13 |
| Lucky Creation | Taro fish is really good. Restaurant is very small, but the people are friendly. I enjoyed it.  | 2004-05-10 |
| Alameda Natural Grocery | For a small store, they have lots of vegan items. Unfortunately, there is also a fish market inside the same building, so be ready to hold your nose.  | 2004-05-10 |
