Definitely an experience which is worth going at least once! We got here on a Sunday evening around 530 and were seated right away. We were helped by the staff a lot and they were attentive and always smiled. We really enjoyed the "scallops" and the non-alcoholic drinks. The food was more "tapas" style where it's mostly meant to be shared. The room is a bit dark and has that tavern environment feeling which is the theme they are going for. It's actually a pretty good family date or family night spot since you can have cool looking drinks without the alcohol. read more

I'm always searching for new vegan places to visit & this place is the newest vegan restaurant in the Alhambra area I ordered the bone marrow & two drinks (Uppies & Quarantine Heart). I've never had bone marrow before so I didn't have any reference for how similar it tasted to animal bone marrow however, it was tasty, the texture is how I would imagine the animal version to be. The drinks were very nice to the pallet. Overall I think this place is cute and I'm looking forward to coming back to try other drinks and their newer food items that will soon be added to the menu. read more

All time favorite place to be. First of all, love the warm and welcoming, attentive, thoughtful, kind, owners proud with tremendous love, pride, and solidarity with and for our interwoven Indigenous, Asian, Filipinx, women, LGBTQ+, and disabled communities. Appreciate the all around built in and automatic accessibility of this place including a vegan and gluten free dinner menu with sober drinks and desserts with Arleo and Amber attentive to our dietary sensitivities, restrictions, and allergies. Adore the Indigenous art throughout and the feminist, trans, and queer pride nights such as a Steven Universe drag night. Thankful for gender neutral and wheel chair friendly space, parking lot, dining, and restroom. Above all, wow, delicious entrees and drinks all around especially craving their lechon, adobo, with rice, asparagus, green beans, and dirt coupe chocolate coconut dessert. Will need to try Kare Kare and Tacos next time. The most magical place when my friends performed their live music here to karaoke. Hands down, the best couple reflecting commitment to extraordinary dining, food, ambiance and the deepest love for our communities dreaming and enacting worlds of peace. Maraming Salamat! Many Thanks! Totes a disability justice for us by us space of infinite possibilities. read more

After having a meet up with my fellow Yelp elites, I stayed to have more food and watch the comedy show. Food Service did take a while because there were several large tables who ordered food before me. I ordered the Bone Marrow ($16) which was one king oyster mushroom sliced in half from the top. On top of the mushroom they had pickled red onion, Cajun sauce, veggies, and balsamic sauce. I ordered the Dirt Coupe ($10) for dessert. It was a dark chocolate mousse made from coconut with crumbled Oreos on top. Tbh, food was okay. Food came in a very small portion, and is very expensive. I probably will only come back just for the drinks and the concept of this place, but may eat somewhere else before coming here. Owners are very nice people. Gratuity is already included with your purchase, but if you would like, you can give more. read more

Omg this was one of my favorite dining experiences ever?! The whole concept is so mission driven and well executed. The ambience is immersive and detailed. There was a live Dj the night we were there in addition to floating candles which made it feel cozy, intimate, hip and classy all at the same time. The service is so personalized and attentive. The owner / servers stopped by to explain the mission of the restaurant and to check in with us multiple times. It was my friends birthday and they brought a lovely dessert with candle and spoon shovels (so cute!) for all of us to share. I loved chatting with the owner and learning about the innovation behind the food and the restaurants story. The food was so creative and delicious, just like the drinks! The buttered scallops were really good (although maybe just a tad sour - too much wine?), as were the bone marrow (both vegetarian). Calarmari was also so well seasoned and fried with mushrooms that really tasted like calamari. They also have health elixirs as drinks and I got the turmeric one which had a refreshing zing to it. All the drinks are well crafted and unlike anything found elsewhere. So fun! Everything together just makes this place such a gem and one of my top dining experiences ever. You can really tell the thought that went into everything they do. In addition to being alcohol free, gluten free, vegetarian friendly, they're also anti-tip! The couple that opened the restaurant also has a personal story behind why they opened the restaurant and it was so nice to hear it from them directly while we were there. I really admire all the love and creativity that went into everything. Highly recommend. Also did I mention the restaurant name is a pun? (Free spirited & their spirits are alcohol free). Love it. read more

This place does everything right. They're family friendly, child-free-persons friendly, gluten-free friendly, vegan friendly, friendly friendly, sober-life friendly, Tip-free friendly, ect. They're a little hard to find, located on a one way street around main / freemont, accessible by the fork on huntington dr. There's a small lot with about 20 spaces maybe? It's a great place to grab a drink and hang out. They've got great bar foods and great drinks. Did I mention it was great? Everything they serve is non-alcoholic. not even trace amounts found in any of the ingredients they use. Drier than my ex's.... heart. Drier than that boring zoom meeting you had the other day. but their drinks are so JUICY. They have plenty of vegan options as well. Tip is priced into the menu so no need to worry about that but you'll want to. Place is nice and dimly lit like any bar would be. They were playing some EDM that I was very much into. Service was excellent as Arleo and Amber are super nice and friendly. They're so fun to talk to and they're so great at what they do. Their recipes are delicious and innovative. Alright The food. and of course, the drink. I got the Scooter SSR, Tough Tide, Calamari-free calimari, Soil dirt thing, and my friend got the Quarantine Heart. The scooter SSR was mind blowing on first sip. I couldn't figure out what it tasted like but finally, it came to me.... A brown sugar boba milk tea. tastes exactly like that. How? I don't know. You can substitute the kombucha for tonic or martenellis or... idk prob anything they have, i don't think amber would say no. but I really enjoyed it with the apple cider. You don't even really taste it. The agar boba is so good. I swear they should be targeting the boba crowd. The Calamari was rings of mushrooms, battered, deep fried, and served with a house made bannana ketchup horseradish sauce. All made from scratch I believe. Love the sauce. The Tough Tide was even more mindblowing-ier the torched cinnamon really just imparted such a pleasant aromatic touch to the drink and I couldn't stop smiling. Idk why. Definitely fun to puff on the cinnamon stick afterwards... or even keep as a souvenir. idk i'm a hoarder don't listen to me. they have board games, they're gonna make a dance floor... idk what else do you want. just get over here. read more

This new restaurant has taken over the space of the old Caramba location. They've retained the original dark interior which gives it a nice vibe. We had bought a Groupon deal that offers a specialty drink and a special popcorn. The owners who are a couple take great pride in the vegan food they offer and will explain in detail how and why the food is made in it's special way. The drinks are really good and I actually was waiting for a buzz to come but everything is non alcoholic. read more

the first non-alcoholic bar i've tried. honestly the mocktails we ordered just ok but the food was pretty good! definitely will be back to try the other drinks since there were so many options to choose from. the hongo asado street tacos live rent free in my head! we were able to order this without onion and garlic but just had to wait a little longer for the preparation. they were so good we wanted to order another plate bone marrow - the portion was smaller than i expected but it is definitely an interesting concept! caramelized carrots - very toddler friendly, these were so delicious!! pasta - ordered this without garlic and it was pretty standard small parking lot in the back it's in a quieter part of alhambra read more

Came here with my wife to celebrate my birthday. It was a very welcoming experience as Amber greeted us and made sure we were comfortable and she answered all questions we had about the menu. She was attentive and a really great conversationalist, sharing about her story in starting this business and also recommendations on board games. That topic came up because they have a shelf of board games (from UNO to Connect 4 to JENGA and even Ticket to Ride). The vibe was very chill and the drinks were delicious and flavorful. We had the vegan calamari and we couldn't get enough of it, especially the aoli dipping sauce and the banana ketchup. The black garlic pasta (we got truffles added to it) was so full of flavor and definitely one of my favorites off the menu. The chocolate mousse dessert is sugar-free and it was a great dish to cap off our night. Overall, this is a great environment. Amber and her husband Arleo were very attentive and made sure we had a good time. We definitely will come back. Also, I highly recommend going to their site to read their story and the description for the drinks. They definitely put in the effort to use the best ingredients in their craft. read more

Free Spirited is truly a gem! The food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. I feared that a restaurant so "allergen" friendly would sacrifice taste, but I was so wrong! Their menu is crafted with intention and quality ingredients. With some carnivorous options as well! The drinks are artisanal and delicious! Sober craft cocktails have never been more enticing. The owners take genuine care of their guests and their establishment. The atmosphere is inviting and delivers a true bar experience. 10/10 RECOMMEND! read more

Second time to free spirited and it is hard to beat the ambience, warmth, and deliciousness of this place. They are super inclusive of all dietary restrictions. We went plant based recently and dined like kings here. The couple that owns this restaurant and so inviting, knowledgeable and kind. - black garlic pasta was so delicious, they recommended we get it with the truffles next time - sinigang: a sour Filipino soup with delicious taro and tofu skin. Very unique and flavorful - endive salad cups: a must get. The tastiest way to eat vegetables - tofu Kare kare: a repeat for us. So good. - dirt coupe: perfectly sweet and creamy - crafter hours drink - sweet and refreshing!! Can't wait til our next time there! read more

Non-alcoholic bar in the SGV with a wide menu of gluten-free and vegan options. There is a free parking lot on the side of the building. Building has plenty of seating and seating at the bar. Had available board games such as Jenga, Uno, and Mahjong (with the table!) Amber and Arleo are the co-owners of the place, and we had the honor of meeting them during our visit. They both also make the food and drinks and are amazing hosts. They explained the menu in detail and we had lovely conversations on the side. We got the -Quarantine Heart: Amazing pineapple drink that tasted like a pina colada with coconut -Scooter SSR: Drink that somehow tasted like a milk tea dessert despite not having any tea and fruit flavors -Tough Tide: Amber brought out a blowtouch to light the cinnamon stick in front of us, added an extra smoky flavor to the drink -Dirt Coupe: Mousse like pudding with chocolate and coconut flavors, excellent -Calamari: Talked to the owners and they make the ketchup in house Overall a wonderful place with a great mission for recovering drinkers or for people who don't want to drink alcohol in general. Would definitely return back for their events and just to chill. Note: They accept card and are open to all ages, not just 21 and over. read more

We visited because I was really curious about the vegan, Filipino dishes. We had the adobo (one vegan and another with chicken) - both were delicious. The owners were very friendly and hospitable. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

I live in the area and to find an incredible restaurant + mocktail bar so close to my home makes me feel proud to live in the 626. I don't drink but I love to relax with friends in environments where I can hear the conversation. Free Spirited is that speakeasy vibe. Such a cute bar and the drinks are fantastic. My favorite drink was the Very Magical Cat. It was absolutely refreshing and it tasted like lychee. My partner and I got to connect with the co-owner who is behind the magical craft of the foods and drinks. The co-owners are so welcoming, educational, and inspiring. Every item is made with quality ingredients. They put a lot of effort into crafting the perfect meals and drinks. I loved the drinks and dessert we tried here and I look so forward to coming back again for their food options! Such a down-to-Earth space with multiple events happening throughout the week. I've raved to all my friends about this place. And I just love how they teach us that you can enjoy a night out with loved ones without alcohol. So aligned with my values! read more

Free Spirited - The Dirt Coupe (dark chocolate mousse) - Gluten-Free Near Me - Alhambra, California

See all

This bar/restaurant is a vibe. And that's the highest compliment I give a place. In an era of corporately-owned and cookie cutter establishments, unique places like Free Spirited draw me in. But let's get down to brass tacks and discuss the experience. The space used to be a classic restaurant and Free Spirited has kept much of the same spirit of the decor. It has nice comfy booths around the perimeter and a little small lounge area to the right of the entrance next to the bar. They have games like Jenga and Uno, and even a small dance floor that the owners made use of adorably. The service by the owner Amber was attentive and excellent, and we had a good time hearing a little more about the menu. Good energy. There's a drink menu and a food menu. The food menu is a really interesting and varied set of dishes that include appetizers like Guac and hummus, as well as main dishes like Chicken Picatta and Black Garlic Pasta. I had the Picatta, while my friend had the Filipino Adobo. Amber recommended I mix the rice, greens, and chicken all together to really get that sauce in there and she was absolutely correct. Fantastic flavor. The Filipino Adobo was perhaps even better! (I sort of picked at my friend's plate a few times, sorry B). It was tender and perfectly seasoned. Since I no longer drink (since Jan '22), I was really looking forward to the zero-alcohol drink menu. I tried three drinks, and I have to say, my only regret is that I could not try them all. I started out with the Moon and the Stars which was citrus forward with a nice luxardo cherry. Sweet, and great presentation. I also tried the Quarantine Heart, which was a little sweet for my tastes, but very well made (It's their most popular drink and I can see why, since it tastes great, but as a former Whiskey and Mezcal drinker, I prefer some bitter or bite). But my favorite cocktail, the Green Moissanite was the "Pièce de résistance." It had a very complex flavor profile that combined citrus, cucumber, and an herbal layer that really made the drink. It had a flavor bite reminiscent of a liquored cocktail. I think if you're a former cocktail enthusiast, this is the one. Overall, I absolutely loved the place. I'm happy that hometown of Alhambra has a new happening spot! read more

Free Spirited - The left is the "Uppies" and the right is the "All my best" - Gluten-Free Near Me - Alhambra, California

I don't drink alcohol so I love the idea of a sober cocktail lounge where I can come and drink with my friends. All drinks are alcohol free, but they taste amazing! We got the LED RGB QT (lime, sparkling yerba mate, cucumber, apple, turmeric, beet, grenadine, blue spirulina), Very Magical Cat (roasted grain spirit, passionfruit, rosewater, vanilla, butterfly pea tea), and All My Best (spiced molasses spirit, beet, apple, honey ginger, turmeric, crystallized ginger, black pepper). My friends also tried the Quarantine Heart, Scooter SSR, and Firepit Nights. And, because this is alcohol free, my friends were able to bring their kids and their kids could drink everything too! They also serve some delicious food, all of which is gluten free. The chicken piccata was super flavorful and the "bone marrow" was such a creative and unique take, being made from oyster mushrooms! Even the kids loved the black garlic pasta. The owners, Amber (head chef) and Arleo (bartender) are the best hosts ever! They were so warm, friendly, and accommodating. They really took good care of us. The lounge also has board games that you can play too. This is a great place for a date night, night out with friends, or with the family. read more

The food and drinks here were incredible. Delicious and so unique. We got there around 4pm and it was not too busy, and I believe the co-owner was our server. She explained all the detail and thought they put into their drinks and food, and it was really impressive. And we could tell the difference in the taste, which was not only delicious but very unique blends of flavors. We LOVED the hapa popcorn, the endive salad scoops, the hongo asado tacos, and the tofu kare kare. For drinks we loved the quarantine heart. The All My Best was great, very ginger forward, and we liked we liked the maple carrots. THANK YOU Free Spirited for an incredible night of great food and atmosphere. read more

Food sucks, the drinks sucks even more. It's use to be called carambas they had bomb drinks for happy hour time. Ambiance: It's exactly how the old owner had it and the new business doesn't match it's ambiance in my opinion. Won't be back. Thank you. read more

This is a very special place. My son is in recovery and I've been wanting to take him here to see how he would feel about socializing in a bar environment that was specifically designed for people who can't touch alcohol but miss the associations. I was worried it might trigger him and I think he was too, but everything turned out great. The moment he walked in the door, I could see that he was comfortable there and really loved the interior, from the booths to the retro velvet paintings. He was excited about all the drink options, which were described by the owner/server Arleo so that my son understood each drink's special qualities in a way that met his needs. The drinks were great. My son chose Green Moissanite and X-ed Out, which had a bitter bite that he found very satisfying. I had All My Best and enjoyed its healthy ginger and beet zip. We shared a plate of vegan Bone "Marrow"--made from mushrooms--and their Filipino Chicken Adobo. Everything was delicious and obviously made with care. We were there on a Saturday night and it was busy, but we were treated so well--service was great and we never felt rushed. Prices are very reasonable considering that they include both tax and tip. We'll definitely be back. Kudos to Amber and Arleo, the talented married owners, who make this place work so well for a community that's definitely been underserved. read more

HOLY WOW!!! I am blown away with what I just ate. Being Celiac, it's hard to find a place where I can eat EVERYTHING!!! And not only is it safe, but it's amazing!!! Don't stress that it's 90% vegan, it's incredibly satisfying. I had the Bone Marrow, Calamari, and Sauteed Green Beans. And washed it down with the Scooter SSR craft cocktail (alcohol free). It was all vegan, but when it's this good .. WHO CARES!!! The bone marrow is a signature dish. It's delicious, and filled with umami. And with a little addition of the sauce from the green beans, it graduates to EPIC! The green beans are wonderful, and the sauce is sip worthy. The Calamari blew me away. It's made from mushrooms, but has the taste and texture of real calamari. Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! And the cocktail was perfect. Perfect taste, texture and heart. If your celiac, vegan, both or neither... You have to try Free Spirited. You won't regret it. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Delicious food in an ambience as refreshing as their spirit free craft cocktails, with outstanding friendly service. We ordered several of their appetizers, including the "bone marrow," the Sweet Sauteed Green Beans, and the Buttered "Scallops." Our personal favorite was the sweet sautéed green beans that had a sauce that was to die for. Hot tip - drizzle the sauce on the "bone marrow" for a culinary explosion. My wife and I got the Marina Fettuccine and the black garlic pasta. Both were outstanding. You just can't beat homemade noodles. The dirt coupe and rice pudding were delicious ways to round out the lovely meal. The owners were extremely attentive, friendly, and provided exceptional service. You can tell that they care deeply about their craft and our exceedingly thoughtful in everything that they do. You know a place is good when your picky pregnant wife approves. We will absolutely be coming back. read more

Presented with an amazing amuse bouche that I asked Arleo what is in this crème fraiche and surprisingly VEGAN! After munching on my app and second cocktail I was happy to see more guests come in and also treated warmly. Arleo took the time to explain the menu to them and even introduced his wife/partner to me. You can really tell they put their heart and soul in this place. 10/10 would recommend even if you have no dietary restrictions or allergies!!! read more

I'll start off by immediately saying that this is my new favorite local spot! Just for a little background, I've never been a drinker; I've gotten drunk once in my life and it wasn't for me, so I feel as if Free Spirited gets me! I've had a number of dishes here and they haven't disappointed! Here are a few favorites of mine: - Popcorn: I've had both the Hapa and BBQ popcorn and they are a delicious mix of salty and sweet! Personally, I prefer the Hapa, but you can't go wrong with either. - Guacamole: Fresh and delicious, this may be the best Guac I've ever had. I'm not sure what it is about it, but it tastes so refreshing and perfectly complements the chips. - "Bone Marrow": I've never had real bone marrow before, so I can't compare to the non-vegan version, but I found it very tasty, and I don't usually like mushrooms (which is what the substitute is based on)! - Street Tacos: Very flavorful, one of the best vegan dishes I've ever had (and again, I don't like mushrooms usually)! - Black Garlic Pasta: I just love pasta. So delicious. I've never had Black Garlic before, but now I know I'm a fan! - Dirt Coupe: A nice meal ender, not overly sweet, but great for a treat. Overall, I am very impressed with all the different flavors and unique culinary experiences offered at Free Spirited! I feel like I'm experiencing something new or originally reworked with each dish I try. As for drinks, I haven't had as many, but I have really liked what I've had so far: - Quarantine Heart: Definitely my favorite so far. Like a sweet nectar. Tastes classy and fun. - Uppies!!!!: My close second-favorite (maybe tied for first). Super tasty caffeinated drink. Tastes unique from other coffee drinks to me. Even though I love Quarantine Heart, I can see myself getting this one often! - Tough Tide: A nice balanced drink, not too sweet, with a nice tropical flavor. If you're not into the sweeter drinks, this one is a great choice! Moving on to the lounge itself, I absolutely love the vibe and décor. It feels like a historic establishment with many stories in the walls. I love the old, storied paintings and classy touches around the bar area. The whole seating area just feels so warm and cozy, like a tavern found in a fantasy world. Speaking of fantasy, this is also a very board game-friendly establishment and I can't wait to play some Gloomhaven, Forgotten Waters, Telestrations, and more here! They have a selection of games you can borrow and play as well! The people working there are also exceptionally welcoming and friendly, looking to provide you with the best experience possible. The owners are around often and you can tell they are putting their heart and soul into this place; it is abundantly clear that this is their dream and they will do anything to make it a success. Overall, I think this is a wonderful new establishment that I imagine I'll visit often. I have been very impressed with the food, drink, décor, and service and think it's a perfect place for people looking for a non-alcoholic, vegan-friendly lounge. read more

Dining partner and I have a lot of dietary restrictions, and it was great to find a place where having your needs catered to was an integral part of the food experience. Our server was super attentive and gave us a lot of recommendations / ingredient substitution options. I also loved their no-waste philosophy. The no-meat lechon dish is something we are coming back to try -- suuper crispy and flavorful! And we both enjoyed our alcohol-free cocktails. I got something with "cat" in the name that I thoroughly enjoyed as a former sugary cocktail lover, and my partner (who used to really enjoy whiskey before he gave up alcohol) was pleasantly surprised at how similar his roasted grain cocktail was compared to the real thing. Speakeasy vibe and board games were just a plus on top of all that. read more

We came here to try a bunch of the interesting alcohol free cocktails as well as some desserts and the vegan bone marrow. First I just want to say Amber was such a great host and server and had a great friendly upbeat attitude as well as lots of information about the menu items and suggestions for what we might like. I love that they have lots of vegan options and will just about modify anything to suit your dietary needs. Of the drinks we got the rgb led qt was not great, the uppies was just ok, and the crafter hours and quarantine heart were really good. We got desserts first cause we didn't mind having whatever was ready first come out quick, we were hungry! The dirt coupe was really good, and diabetic friendly. Tasted like chocolate with a hint of coconut and was nice and creamy and decadent with no weird flavor. The rice pudding was also excellent. The rice was not mushy and it had a berry compote and some raisins and tasted fresh and not overly sweet. Our last dish was the vegan bone marrow which was very interesting. Obviously you usually can't eat the whole bone but since they're mushroom based you can in this case and they were actually really good. The inside is pretty and the lighting was cozy and on the darker side. Table and chairs were clean and the wall art was beautiful. Overall a very good experience that we could recommend to anyone that wants flexible dining and alcohol free drinks. read more

I dropped by on Monday to check out one of the only 5 alcohol free bars in California! I don't frequent bars and didn't know what to expect. I was extremely impressed with the atmosphere, service, and mission of Free Spirited. They opened this bar to help those fighting addiction and for victims of drunk driving. The owners have personal stories to share and I was extremely moved with what the bar valued. I don't drink alcohol much so I'm extremely happy that this space exists. The owners are very community centered and want to make this space into a community space with free events. I love that they have vegan, gluten free, and shell fish free options. They serve alcohol free drinks, food, and coffee! They also upcycle their food and barely waste any food. They are very conscious about composting as well. Please drop by and support their business! read more

This is Alhambra's hidden gem! My wife & I absolutely love this place. It's honestly one of our favorite spots. They have vegan, gluten free food & they are food allergy conscious. We don't drink so we were so excited when we discovered this place is not only alcohol free, but provides vegan options for us! There are so many reasons why we love this place. First off, their food is just so fresh & healthy. They do such a great job with their flavors & it's all made from scratch. Their meals are quality made--far from fast food, so expect a fine dining experience vs. greasy oily finger food. It's a perfect spot for vegans to hangout with their meat eater friends since they have a lot of variety on their menu. They serve Filipino inspired food & have vegan options for it--which is so rare to find. The ambiance of the place has such a fun vibe & vintage feeling to it. We go to sing karaoke & play board games. Anytime we have friends visiting us, we bring them here because we love the vibe of this place. We love their customer service. They are very thoughtful. Any time we have questions about what drinks to try out, they know exactly what to offer. We come here so often that we ended up celebrating our birthday here & got to reserve the whole place for our friends & family! TOTALLY worth it! You would need to contact the owners ahead of time on their Instagram & coordinate the details. The owners are incredibly kind, giving, & understanding when it came to figuring out the details for our party, so we highly recommend. We became really great friends with the owners. Amber & Arleo run the whole restaurant. They put a lot of love & thought in their menu & it shows. We love this place. Thank you both for creating such a special restaurant in our community. read more

Yummy popcorn and beautiful drinks! Tasty mushrooms too. Overall, a good experience.

Super cute owners who go out of their way to make the experience special and personal. We really enjoyed our alcohol free "bar" visit!

The restaurant was cozy and beautiful. Had very chill vibes. Of you come with friends that liek board games there's a whole stash, cards/uno/meme games and there was a safe throwing are game with dummy axes. Very fun to take a date. The food was fresh and hot! As soemoen who hates cold or lukewarm food, thsi was a comfort. Get the chicken picatta. And the Adobe tacos. Honorable mention for the bine marrow (for the mushroom lovers) For the real fun review, the non alcoholic drinks. We tried 3 of them. 1. Scooter SSR. Yeeesss creamy and sweet with a bit of spice. If you like coconut and pineapple, this is your drink. 2. Very Magical Cat :So refreshing!!!! Passionfruit with a bit of vanilla and light light floral. This one was downed so fast. If you're an Instagram girlie or like pretty drinks, get this. 3. X-ed out: For those who crave something alcoholic but don't want the buzz, this is your drink. Smoky, spicy, complex. Definitely going back. Making it a personal mission to try all the drinks. The service, was kind and heartwarming. They made sure to check on us often if we needed anything. The owners have been in since January , and are very friendly and honest. Felt comfortable the entire time. Go for a fun time with friends or a cute date night!!! read more

I've been here twice so far, I really love the positive atmosphere of this spot. One of the most impressive things about Free Spirited is how much of the ingredients that make each dish are made in house. I can't imagine how much effort that must take, especially with the wide ranging menu. I loved the vegan Kare Kare, it's super comforting. The vegan bone marrow is another favorite of mine. I like their mocktails too, definitely really nice to have a good complex drink to sip on while I chat. The service is really great, you get the sense that they just want to share their culinary art with you. It's everything great about a lounge, good nutritious food, cute drinks, a spot to chat with friends, without worrying about having a headache later. read more

We had the scallop, bone marrow, chips and queso, croquette roulette, black garlic pasta, and Kara Kara -everything was flavorful but my favorite were the scallops. Drinks were delicious -I had the Very Magical Cat - such a refreshing drink. They also have games and the service was great, what a gem we found - we will be back! read more

Thank you for being in Alhambra! The owners are welcoming and super friendly. Try the Hapa popcorn! It's delicious I ordered a mocktail and a non-alcoholic beer - I preferred the beer because that's my preference. Next time, I'm trying the food!
