Swami's Cafe - Piatti

This is an easy casual gathering place with outdoor seating for a burrito, loaded acai bowl or smoothie. The only thing about it is that behind the scenes it does not seam that clean. This is not something I like to see. Parking is tough.

The Swami's salad is my absolute favorite. It is so good I wind up getting that and not trying other great looking options. The acai bowl is also quite amazing. There are several vegan options. The Oceanside restaurant is my favorite of the 3.

The restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian options such as veggie burritos, fruit salads, and avocado toast upon request. They also have whole grain pancakes with fruit available for cheat days. The place can get crowded at times, but the food is delicious. Visualizza piatti

good breakfast / brunch place and they do not need to avoid when vegan. they have many vegan options. we really enjoy the avocado toast and açaí dishes. they can make hamburger, sandwiches and packed vegan. eating is a little expensive, but good business will make sure.

I tried an açaí bowl at this restaurant and it wasn't one of my favorites, but my friends really enjoyed it. I wouldn't recommend the watermelon juice as it tasted mostly like water with just a hint of sweetness. The view was very nice, but the bathrooms were not very clean. Updated review as of July 1, 2022.

It was obvious our tofu scramble was cooked on the same grill as the meat and cheese. The cook did not know what to do w the tofu, no seasoning added. The fresh juices, their only saving grace, was served in a plastic cup...? They seem to cater to the meat-eating tourist crowd. Not feeling the Swami Yogi Love here. Visualizza piatti

I have been a regular at this restaurant for years. I enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, outdoor seating, and the fact that it's located across from the beach. They offer a variety of options including coffee, smoothies, acai bowls, breakfast, and lunch. The staff is very friendly and the food is always good. I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately, since it's not fully vegetarian or vegan, that option is not available on Happy Cow.

I had read about this place on HappyCow and decided to stop in on a past trip to San Diego (with a stop in Encinitas). Here's my Swami's Cafe review. While the menu is both non-veg and veg, there are enough choices for the ovo-lacto vegetarian customer, and few for vegans. Mostly casual American and Californian-Mexican type of cuisine omelettes, pancakes, burritos, salads, sandwiches, and a few main plates like a tofu curry dish. We ordered our food at the counter and the waitress brought it to our table. The inside is very small and a bit dim, but there is an outdoor patio with a fountain. And it's located a block from the ocean, so there is a nice breeze. The only complaint we had was that...

The Acai Bowl (sub soy milk) is great and it is completely addictive! I crave it! But since they hiked the price all the way up to $7.95, I just don't eat it very often. If it were only about a buck cheaper, I'd be at Swami's all the time! That extra buck adds up fast! The falafel is terrible...definitely skip it. Its the powdered-from-a-box kind. The smoothies are great and I def suggest the Tropical Storm. I won't ever order their hot food items again b/c the long-time manager swore to me that the Spinach Tofu (a former fave of mine) was vegan. But when I got home and opened up the to-go box, I found several pieces of chicken in my vegan dish! YUCK! I felt really sick The patio would be ni... Visualizza piatti
