    Tuna sandwich
    Yurie H.

    Cute cafe with tasty vegan food. We came here for lunch on a weekday. Decently packed for a weekday. We were seated inside, interior is dark and cozy, They have various vegan salad, sandwiches, and mains. I got the tuna sandwich and my hubby got the truffle burger. We also shared the key lime pie. Tuna sandwich (8/10)-texture wise very similar to tuna loved the capers salad in side was refreshing. Truffle burger(6/10)-mushroom flavor was good but the bread was a bit stale Key lime pie (11/10)-can't believe this is vegan! Very creamy but also light at the same time. Would get this again! Overall service is fast and food is light. Would love to come try for dinner again.

    Cute name and vegan place in Old town Tustin. I had the "chicken" panini with side salad it was delicious. The fennel pizza was very good as well. Peanut butter torte was a rich treat to wrap up a good meal. Friendly waitress. Plenty of seating inside and out.

    Delicious, intimidate spot for vegan dinner. Stopped since our dear Plot is no more. Found street parking no problem, seated right away, and shared a pizza. Definitely adding it to our list for when we are in the area.

    The best vegan restaurant in OC, and maybe even in all of the surrounding counties! This is a scratch vegan kitchen with everything made in house without using any animal products at all. No not even honey is used up in here, but somehow they're able to make their sweets taste sweet, and I mean the right kind of sweet! There are a good amount of different types of items from ramen, to pizza, and both are really good, but their panini sandwiches are my favorite! The meat substitutes pretty much taste just like deli sliced ham. And their Key Lime Pie is amazing! I don't know how they make that whipped cream, but they were able to make it taste just like the real thing! A definite must to finish your meal!

    Truffle burger and double vanilla latte

    Honestly...I have only tried the truffle burger here every single time I am here...and it's absolutely perfect. I am not vegan so I order it for the wonderful flavor and texture. The side salad is a nice touch, and their double vanilla bean latte is quite good. I am not sure if I will ever venture out and try their other menu items...because the truffle burger is sooooo good!

    5-stars for dedicated focus on vegan offerings as well as staff; 4-stars for different / inconsistent menus for lunch vs dinner and inconsistent pacing Husband and I have come on multiple occasions. Pizza photo from our first visit b/c we love veg pizza options at BLAH in Normal Heights. Also the 'bello panini. Vegetarian doesn't mean tasteless. It's healthy and flavorful. Only one location, so no economies of scale to bring down overall costs (and your prices). Last fall we enjoyed nice ambiance, whether on the patio (before major road construction) or indoors (eclectic decor handsomely grounded in wood & tile setting) with an indie playlist. Also much as I'd like to loiter here, don't think of it as a coffeehouse type of cafe. It's designed for people to enjoy one another's company, food and drink. Bonus: option for people with friends who eat halal.

    Great food I came for the first time with my sister and niece. I really enjoyed it.

    Seriously one of the best Vegan spots in OC!! I stopped by the other day with my friends who is Vegan and tho I have been to Vegan places before, Im not a Vegan myself. Of course this doesnt mean I dont enjoy Vegan food! On the contrary I think their flavor and the options you get here are superb. My friend ordered a mushroom panini, the roasted cauliflower and roasted strong beans to share. They were DELICIOUS. I have no idea what the sauce they added to the string beans had but OMG they were phenomenal. The service was really friendly, I had a Vanilla Latte which I truly enjoyed. I lesrned they made this w soymilk and u would never even know they did it tasted so creamy and full. Im really looking forward to going back soon. They have a really nice i side decor and the pattio area has a little fountain. Truly enjoyable and really great prices too! Public parking is available across the st!

    Panini Poulet
    Jennifer H.

    The food quality here is so good, and the meat alternatives are all so convincing that I would not be able to tell that they are vegan. I tried the Panini Poulet, which was so balanced and delicious, with the pickled carrots and daikon providing the perfect crunch and acidity to the sandwich. Loved the side salad that came with it, especially the candied walnuts. Enjoyed the ambiance and outside seating as well, but had to take off a star because someone in my party got their food over half an hour after everyone else.

    I love taking my lady friend here when she's in town. Even though I'm not Vegan I love the food. Everyone here is so nice.

    BLT sandwich with tomatoes and vegan bacon.

    Located in Tustin on Main Street is Freesoulcaffe. Standing on the sidewalk, facing the establishment, it was a wonderful view. You see, the building is covered in bricks and had an opening in the entryway that I found lovely. I opted for sitting outside as the weather was nice and so was the outdoor decor. I ordered the BLT sandwich that came highly suggested by the waiter. All I can say is, love is the most nutritional ingredient and love was all in the details. The lettuce was crisp and the vegan bacon was nice. Next time, I look forward to trying their salads and soups that are soy free. Perhaps even one of their specialty pizzas. Everyone was ever so friendly and the service was wonderful. "Light a fire in you that the world cannot put out!"

    Truffle Burger
    Christie T.

    Absolutely DELICIOUS! We came in a Monday afternoon for a late lunch. The place wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly, served iced waters and placed our orders in less than 10 minutes. Once we ordered, it did not take long for our food to be delivered. Service was definitely friendly and efficient. SUPERB! Truffle Burger: 4/5 Burger was very hearty. The truffle was very good and the aiola sauce was the chef's kiss. I wish it came with fries, but the mixed greens salad side was definitely the healthier option. Panini Portobello: 5/5 Sourdough bread was lightly toasted, crunchy, and a little chewy. The filling (artichoke, portobello, sun dried tomatoes, etc) was so good. My favorite dish on the menu! Cafe Granita: 5/5 It was creamy and icy and absolutely refreshing! This was perfect for an afternoon drink on a sunny day. The espresso flavor was not too strong. It was not too sweet. It was truly the perfect combination of sweetness and boldness (from the espresso). We are coming back again to try other items on the menu!

I went on a Tuesday morning and luckily only had to wait about 10 minutes. We got the mango matcha and blueberry matcha. Both were good, but I didn't adjust the sweetness and felt like the fruit flavors overpowered the matcha. The flavors themselves were really good though, especially since they use house-made syrups. I'd probably go for the plain matcha next time to actually get a better sense of the matcha itself, or ask them to tone down the sweetness/flavor. One thing I did appreciate is that the staff were really nice and offered to make adjustments if I wasn't happy with the drink. The parking lot is pretty small and gets crowded, so it can be a little hectic. Overall, not a bad matcha at all, but I'm not sure it completely lived up to the hype for me.

Your price of admission gets you either a drink or French macaron. I went with my kids and we tried each others and all were delicious. The cat cafe itself is easy to reserve and pay ahead. It is very organized. When you get there the cat cafe is clean and there are many places to sit and the cats are spread out. The only thing I'd improve on is to give some of the cats the special collars (like they have at other cat cafe's) to let us know if the cats aren't friendly. There were 2 cats in particular that were kind of scary trying to pick fights and scratch both other cats and humans. Also my best tip is to wear disposable socks you are cool with throwing away since you have to take off your shoes and your socks get all cat hair and dirty.

Rumi was wonderful with the kids, the snacks were cute (albeit pretty limited for the price--a small tea sandwich, a small cupcake, some cinnamon goldfish), they had a little dance session, and then did photos. Overall a cute experience for the kids. That said, I got a lavender latte and it was difficult to finish. The foam was like a salted caramel, which clashed with the lavender's liquid portion of the drink. There were a lot of lavender petals on top, which looked nice, but were bitter to taste. The latte portion actually tasted ok after I grabbed a straw so that I could drink it without the foam, but the foam and toppings just really threw the drink off. For $7, I expect harmonious flavors as well as an aesthetic look. I'd definitely bring my kid back for another Tots event, but I'd not get the lavender latte again.

I'll definitely be back for another honey vanilla latte!

    First, for those newer to OC, a little history lesson about Kean…read more Kean was founded by coffee pioneer Martin Diedrich and his wife Karen. Martin Diedrich is the original founder of Diedrich Coffee, which was sold to Starbucks in 2006, and opening the Tustin location marked a return to the exact site of his very first full-scale Diedrich Coffee coffeehouse. So when you come to Kean, you are coming to a special place that is tied to the history of coffee in The O.C. Needless to say the coffee is roasted in-house and is excellent. I always buy an oatmilk latte here, and the coffee taste is deep and aromatic. Definitely one of the best in Orange County for the pure quality of its coffee. For Orange County, the location has a nice community vibe. Eclectic mix of tables, but there aren't always enough of them, so it always seems packed. Staff are always extremely nice. Appreciating the history, great coffee, and community feel is one thing, but you should know in advance that they do not offer wifi here. That is my only complaint and the only reason this gets a 5 and not a 4 star. I suppose if they want to maintain a certain vibe they don't want people working there, but I would be happy even with a one-hour time limit on wifi usage.
