Food tastes great. Finally find a place that I can enjoy the food and buy my ingredients and snakes and not feel guilty.

I have come here for the past year here and there. I am a vegetarian and I think that the food really is top-notch. Great place for vegans too. The service is also great. The lady who works cashier is super warm and kind. They have a station of baked Taiwanese treats ranging from savory to sweet! Low price too. Everything here is organic and vegetarian. So the price may be a little more to reflect that. But the quality here is outstanding. Their high-quality is tangible in their atmosphere. read more

I've been ordering to‑go from Heartland Café for a while now, and it never disappoints. It's awesome to have a spot like this in Walnut with really flavorful plant‑based dishes that don't feel heavy or greasy. The staff is always warm and friendly, and you can tell the food is made with quality ingredients. My go‑to is their Mapo Tofu to‑go. It's not really spicy and comes with veggies and rice. I also appreciate the organic and wholesome vibe of the store. They sell many Asian organic and nutritious products. Highly recommend stopping by or ordering to‑go if you're in the area! read more

Nice staff. Place is a food mart. Very clean. I got to go so not a lot of experience. Food tasted okay for vegetarian food read more

Heartland Cafe & Mart - Menu as of Jan 24, 2026 - Vegetarian Near Me - Walnut, California

Namo amitabha，thanks for the tasty meal. We love the best vegan food from heartland. read more

One of the very few places we can have some healthy food outside... @heartland_organic_cafe_mart it's all vegan and cooked really well. We've been here a few times and enjoyed everything there. We had a stir fried mushroom rice plate this time and some soup noodles. It left us feeling so full of good nutrition. Lovely quiet ambience to eat in. Bought an odd green drink as we left and it was soooo good! It was a lovely mildly sweet dessert to end off a nutritious meal. read more

Heartland Cafe & Mart - 6. Teriyaki Organic King Oyster Mushroom Rice Set Meal - Vegetarian Near Me - Walnut, California

Went here to browse all the organic, non-gmo, vegan options at the mart. There were so many items, frozen, ready to eat, dry goods, canned goods. I decided just to come back again soon to check out the aisles I didn't get to. I didn't order anything from the Cafe this time. Everything is vegan/vegetarian and organic. I will definitely be back! This quick visit, I purchased a box of single serve packets of milk tea. Just add water! I also got some ginger tea for my dad. The workers were very friendly, welcoming, and ready to answer any questions. read more

Heartland Cafe & Mart - Dark prune juice - Vegetarian Near Me - Walnut, California

Heartland Cafe & Mart is an organic vegetarian food store and restaurant. Conveniently located on Pierre road toward valley next to Walnut High School. Party of two adults and two kids entered the store. Seating is limited; estimated around 20. There is no server, we order our vegetarian dishes at the back. The lady in the back at check out counter is very friendly and offer free snack samples to our kids. Vegetarian food all tastes great providing that you like mushroom, tofu, soy based, and plant based ingredients. We order one Oden. Tri-cup rice, Zha Jiang noodle ( dry noodle mixed ). Flavors are to the point and not too salty and greasy. Once you ordered, they will deliver to your table but everything is in box. It's good for to go. Overall the restaurant and store is clean, modern, and welcoming. We will be back shopping organic food products and eat lunch. read more

It's more like 3.5 but I rounded up due to affordable pricing. The item I typically get is the vegan braised soup. I'm not sure why the soup is so oily, but if they can improve on that, it'll be awesome. Also, some umami is missing from the broth. I always feel like I need some type of condiment either like red vinegar, white pepper or something to enhance the flavor. It's got potential.. I feel like something is just missing. But the soy meat is SO GOOD!! it has the perfect texture and flavor. read more

Heartland Cafe & Mart - Thanksgiving Meal - Vegetarian Near Me - Walnut, California

This quaint little market/food service place has been here for a long time! I haven't been in over 12 to 15 years so I wanted to stop by again! I can't recall what it used to look like but I do recall that it wasn't as nicely laid out as before....and now they have indoor seating for those who want to buy the food here and eat there.... I used to get stuff to go only.... Since I don't eat meat it is a really good place for me to grab a quick bite for my short lunch breaks that I take.... They have food they can cook or stuff that is already prepared.... I personally like their Radish Cakes and Cabbage Dumpling....it's ready to go... I will come back every once in awhile now for a quick lunch bite.... read more

Every time i come back i see that this place has faltered even more. Maybe today was a fluke but the people working the store seemed misinformed and distracted. I ordered the noodle soup which they were out of, and it wasn't until I drove there that they told me they were out. Then I ordered a rice noodle which was listed for $8.99 but was charged $10.99 for it. When I asked about it, the lady said the prices listed were outdated and needed to be updated..... Not sure how you can provide a menu with prices yet not follow those prices?? Anyways, the older lady (cashier) was eating food while helping me, and walked away eating her food while she explained the difference in price. read more

Summary: 5 stars for tasty and healthy Chinese vegan/vegetarian food, good service *** Super mom and pop Chinese grocery store located in a quiet commercial lot. The owners are friendly and bilingual. They sell vegan/vegetarian bread, rice milk drinks, cold side dishes, hot meals, snacks, fake meat, etc. You pay at the front, and you can choose to dine in. There is limited seating for parties of 2-4 inside. The dining area is small, but aesthetic. You bus your own table; trash can located near the door. I ate here once four years ago. My impression of Heartland was yummy, not too salty, and not too oily. Lots of vegan/vegetarian restaurants actually aren't healthy with the abundance of fried components, but this place tasted light and clean. I was happy to find that this was still the case. Service was great years ago; an owner came by offering drink samples. Today, they offered chocolate samples at the register. They were out of straws, but one of them came to our table and helped cut our drink lid off. She later found a paper straw and dropped it off. We were done with the drink by then, but it's the thought that counts! The only negative was that there was some sort of photo shoot going on. Perhaps social media footage? The production staff took up most of the entrance and dining area, which made the space cramped. I think they should have closed indoor dining. We wouldn't have minded taking our food to-go, as it was already packaged for such. However, I'm sure we were just unlucky with the timing today. DRINKS ORDERED - Black Sesame Rice Milk ($4.29). Just alright, but consistency is not too thick. You can taste the sesame, and it's not too sweet. - Organic Rice Milk with Almond. Tastes like ground up barley. - Grass Jelly. Refreshing and slightly minty. - Moringa and Chia Seed Rice Milk. Earthy, with texture from the gelatinized chia. FOOD ORDERED - Cabbage Dumpling ($3.25). Vegan half-moon shaped dumpling as large as a big empanada. The skin was chewy and perfect thickness. Inside was stuffed with a loose filling of chopped glass noodle, cabbage, and bean curd. The seasoning was very light, almost bland but not quite. It was served room temp, a little cold. Though it tasted good, it would have been better warmed up. - Double Spices Bean Curd ($5.95). This cold side dish was too salty for me without rice, but I thought the diced bean curd had a good chewy texture. Red and green chili peppers added some freshness in contrast with the pickled dry radish. - Lunch set from 2019 ($8-9). I recalled the portion being large enough to take home. The rice was chewy, and the veggie fish was good and crispy with an actual fishy flavor. - Bean Curd Bun Rice lunch set ($12.99). It's actually 2 sheets of braised bean curd, not a bun. The bean curd sheets were juicy from soaking up the sauce, which had light notes of soy sauce, black bean, medicinal herbal flavor, and vinegar. There was a thinly sliced medley of bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, and fake shredded pork that also tasted like the sauce. Lightly steamed or blanched broccoli lined the sides of the container. The multigrain rice was chewy, and the side of stir fried/boiled veggies (red and green cabbage, zucchini, corn, wood ear mushroom, fake fish ball, broccoli) was surprisingly umami. I appreciated that the sauces for each lunch set entree and vegetable side were not thickened with corn starch. (Sometimes I just get tired of that cooking style.) - Tri-cup Basil Chicken Rice lunch set ($12.99). The sauce tasted of ginger and soy, and not much of basil. While this wasn't the typical three cups chicken flavor, the fake meat had a deep roasted flavor. Meaty mushrooms stems and bell peppers were also included. My bf and I also took home some leftovers to stretch into a second meal. read more

Literally the best vegetarian food I ever tasted . I am not a vegetarian but I come here for their lunch often It's so tasty and doesn't make me sluggish after meal. I think probably because all their ingredients are organic. I feel so healthy when I eat here The staff and owners are super friendly. The owner greets all the customers whenever I am in the store 10/10 would recommend read more

I sometimes buy the lunch bento or just individual orders of their special , the food is always good never disappointed me!

We got the Hainan chicken, the purple rice oil rice, the honey smoked duck and the cream of pumpkin soup ! Omg the chicks was so good for a second I really thought they made a mistake and used real chicken the purple oil rice is their regular item and this is first time I tried it , I am so happy I got it , the duck also was yummy with smoked flavor , I especially love the pumpkin soup , I need to find out if they would make this on regular days ! We loved our thanksgivings meal read more

Really good market for vegetarian and vegan snacks, food, and prepared items. Didn't seem busy but looked like a lot of people pre order or have phone orders. People were kind and polite. They did mentioned that they strive for organic and a lot of the sourcing and partnerships they have with products sold don't use pesticides albeit not with the organic label. Call ahead to make sure what you want, because the supply chain makes it tough for them to supply what you might exactly need. read more

Unlike other vegetarian restaurants, this place offers healthy food. It's not oily at all. Lots of vegetarian places will imitate the taste or the shape of meat to attract vegetarians, but it's unnecessary to me. I rather have the original food taste. Love the bento lunch deals and a variety of options. One main entree with side veggies and rice/noodle. Not a large portion but definitely enough for one person. read more

Good neighborhood vegetarian mart and restaurant. They have bentos tuesdays and fridays.

I went in around 1:30pm on a Saturday, was fairly empty, ordered Okonomiyaki which is vegan and Oden which is vegetarian. Okonomiyaki was so-so tasting, fried pancake with cabbage and tiny bits of mushrooms. I wish it had the dried laver or seaweed on the top like the ones in Japan bed there was not any. I probably would not order again, but it is interesting to try. The Oden has some vegetarian Phish cakes, phish balls, tofu and Daikon. The clear broth is really blend, like warm salt water, could use more daikon or kelp in it. Dish is light and Good for a chilly day. Definitely recommend visiting this place if you want vegan groceries like frozen plant based shrimp, vegan sausages or vegan meats. They also carry a variety of organic vegetables which is a huge plus! I recommend trying the chilled plum drink that comes in the bottle, so refreshing and tasty, not too sweet, tartness comes through just nice. Pleasant experience, staffs are all really sweet and friendly. read more

Like a Taiwanese Whole Foods, A high quality family run vegetarian grocery mart+ hot food bar. Fond reminders of the Japanese or Taiwanese marts in Asia where I grew up. My family's vegan so we have been coming for almost 2 decades, yep I feel old but this store has carried me through high school tennis and medical school board exams. Some of this brain food includes: Vegan sushi bento Golden tofu, veggie fish, cabbage, brown rice bento cold noodles with peanut and sesame sauce and veggie ham: more veggies would be good Meatless jerky Brown rice puffs Pistachio wafers Algae and seaweed cold dish: chewy texture but could use more vegetables Green bean drink: a bit too sweet Recently, I wanted to treat my parents who love this place, I ordered an oden, cabbage and leek dumpling pockets, mapo tofu, curry chicken and braised noodle soup. The staff actually packaged everything beautifully and when we waited outside staff actually carried everything and brought them outside (social distancing at its finest). The quality and service have always been consistent. Their hot food section is generally healthy, with some options that are more processed like the oden. I wish there are entrees options with more vegetables, even without rice is fine. There's a lot of baked goods and right now it's the Taro Mooncakes, finally a yummy and not deathly sweet mooncake! There's also a savory Mochi taro chunk and scallion pancake/pizza pie. Their attention to quality of the grocery product is excellent! Large selection of veggies, vegan hotpot ingredients, basses, sauces. What stands out is that they hand packaged and meticulously label everything so it all feels very personal. Vegan tempura, calamari, shrimp made of konjac plant one of my favorites Veggie ham and other processed meat contain milk They source a lot of snacks from an organic Taiwanese company Leezen, but there are definitely snacks like corn puffs which I've had in China as a child haha, not on the same level of health as the overall brand. read more

Drove out of my way here. Arrived about an hour before close and couldn't order off the menu. I was able to purchase what the lady called "tempura", which was already made. It was packed in a box for me and room temperature. Didn't like one of the vegetables in the tempura, but I did like the texture and flavor. It was very reminiscent of fish cake. I also purchased a bag of soy pork floss, which was good and will probably last me forever. Tried going there a second time on Christmas Eve. Tried to order at 3:50 and they said they stop serving food at 4:00. read more
