I absolutely love Seabirds. Tons of gluten and dairy free options. Staff is amazing, they're so kind and helpful. I've been here probably 8 times, and each time gets better! Located in the Antimall, very creative energy here. read more

Our experience was great. Friendly and quick service. We weren't sure if the food was going to live up to the hype, but we were really impressed. Clean, vegan and very flavorful. We started with the purple taquitos with guac and jalapeño. My fiancé got the chilaquiles Rojas and I got the chipotle Florentine. I've never been able to eat most of these foods, but the vegan options were not only aesthetically pleasing- they were delicious! Also, highly recommend the peach mojito and the pineapple/pear cider. Both were great. Located in The Lab, this area was unique and eclectic. Highly recommend for vegans/vegetarians new to the area. Has an artsy vibe. We hit up Bootleggers brewery right after, down the walkway. Just a great experience overall. read more

My family was so impressed with Seabirds! We are all vegan and we've been to a lot of vegan restaurants; everything we ordered at Seabirds was amazing. My favorite was the Warm Cauliflower Salad - there were so many levels of flavor in this dish. The tofu was amazing, and the dressing was equally delicious. My daughter ordered the Bibimbap Bowl which has fried kimchi in it and she absolutely loved it. My other daughter got the Breakfast Burrito and she thought everything in it was delicious. My son ordered the Biscuit Bomb and he was concerned it wouldn't be filling but he loved it and said it was plenty of food. We all shared the Chaffle for dessert and omg it was one of the best vegan desserts I've ever had! We will definitely be back; even though it is over an hour and a half away, it is so worth the drive. read more

This place was good too. Lots of normal dishes but they're vegan so you eat normal looking food but it's vegan. Tasted good too. Cool place

Very good, you wouldn't know its vegan. My mom is always looking for a good vegan location and this restaurant hit the mark. We had burrusell sprouts, jackfuitr nachos, Mack and cheese, and toquitos. Everything was so good. The service was quick and friendly. We sat inside and its small but they have an outdoor seating area as well. read more

I love the atmosphere at The Lab and am always happy to go to (always vegan) Seabirds! We started off with the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup. The pesto on the grilled cheese was a great addition & the soup was spot-on. The chickpea masala soup was surprisingly oily. It t was good, but I couldn't figure out why there was so much oil in it. I will def get the grilled cheese tomato soup combo again, but not the chickpea masala. I didn't try the other dishes (see pics), but the beet burger is also on the repeat list. We sat outside. Loved getting to see the beautiful sunset throughout our meal. Service was great. The host, waiter, and server were all friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. read more

The Lab's anti-mall offers so much to see & eat. To add to all that in the far corner, 100% plant based restaurant; Seabirds! A variety of cuisines to select. Perplexed, I listened to my server's recommendations and got the popular Stuffed Shells and to start Purple Taquitos. Stuffed shells are a 5/5 unique, delicious, flavors were all represented. Side kale salad was a bonus gem. Small feedback, larger shells or add another stuffed shell. Purple Taquitos a unique take on taquitos that worked perfectly! Nothing else was needed. My partner got the famous burger which I sampled. It is indeed delicious however, I think the patty needs to be thicker to compensate for the brioche bun thickness. Service was very friendly & helpful. Inside & outdoor sitting with small heaters. Love it all & would love to come back! read more

Okkkkk! Might be my new fave vegan spot! We went for brunch on a Saturday and ordered several things because everything sounded so good and I couldn't decide! We got the breakfast biscuit - so so so good! It was an explosion of flavors. The Brussels were out of this world- def a new favorite. The purple potato taquitos were really good and definitely had a kick to them. The grilled cheese and tomato soup were so so so good!!! The best comfort food! I also had the peach mojito and it was very tasty. Sage was our server and she was AWESOME! She answered allllll of our questions with a smile and was very helpful and sweet. The restaurant is so cute and has ample outdoor seating too! read more

New year, new diet! My boyfriend's trying to transition into being vegan and so of course I got excited and started searching for the best vegan restaurants in OC... Seabirds popped up as the first result on Yelp and I can confirm it makes sense. We couldn't believe everything on the menu is vegan! I love seeing more nuts used as dairy substitutes such as cashews and walnuts. We ordered the Mac & cheese, all three tacos: Battered avocado/ Al pastor jackfruit/ Grilled mushrooms, and stuffed shells that came with kale Caesar salad. Everything was so good like you wouldn't think it was vegan definitely a 10/10! The Mac and cheese was so creamy. While the avo taco tasted just like a fish taco and the seasoning for the mushroom and jackfruit were so spot on! The stuffed shells definitely stuffed me up - it was such a warm and hearty meal. I also enjoyed the kale salad it came with as it was so crunchy and full of texture. Unfortunately, we were too full to try their desserts but we could see from the other tables that they looked really good. The ambiance was very cute and casual with the dimmed lighting. Our servers were very helpful in answering our questions. My bf said this will definitely be his new go to spot! read more

One of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to! The nachos are fantastic and go great with a mint lemonade. Can't wait to come back.

I love this vegan spot! Cheese is so hard to find that is good and vegan, but this place makes it beautifully! The workers are so kind, helpful, patient, and so friendly. It looks like a small place but it holds quite a few people inside and outside (there's heaters outside if it's too cold). There's usually a small wait but it's worth it. All the food is amazing. read more

If you're a person that is vegetarian/vegan, you'd probably like this place a lot and that's why I gave it 5 stars (great service and food was good). However, it's really pricey so personally, because I don't have any dietary restrictions, I won't be returning. FYI: only 1 restroom; parking can be limited (even if you park on The Lab side and walk over) read more

First of all I would love to say that all of the employees are absolutely amazing and sweet. The prices have definitely increased since the last time I've been. Understandable but $5 for a small taco was a little bit much. Also celiacs beware. The food does have a lot of gluten-free options but unfortunately most of the items are cross contaminated. The fryer is shared and so is the cooktop. They are able to clean the cooktop well enough to where the only item that I could eat I did not get a reaction to. However everything else has something that is shared with the fryer. It's more gluten-friendly instead of gluten free. Still definitely delicious read more

Not my first time at seabirds, nor my first time at this location. I'm a huge fan!! Wish there were more locations. No matter what you get on the menu, you won't be disappointed! Food is always fresh and flavorful. Quality ingredients! I just tried their daily special which was the Cali Sally Burrito and it was exactly what I needed. Fried tofu, loaded with veggies, fries, and an amazing chipotle sauce. It was delicious. My all time fav dish is their purple potatoes taquitos! And you must try their poptarts, especially the Ube one is my fav!! Service is always great Prices are reasonable Cute little restaurant Indoor and outdoor seating available read more

Seabirds Kitchen serves delicious vegan food in a cool, casual space. I've visited the original location in Long Beach, and when I saw that they had one in OC, I was excited to visit! This one, located in The LAB anti-mall, fits right in with the eco-friendly and hipster vibe of the plaza. We ordered burnt brussel sprouts, the beets me burger and side salad, fried avocado taco, and the mushroom taco. All of the food was soo good! They were all full of great flavors and textures. Service was friendly, and I liked the putdoor seating that is available in The LAB location. I would definitely return! read more

Updating review based on a recent visit. Tomato soup was so so, pretty much tastes like a thick bowl of pasta sauce. Not really reminiscent of a tomato soup. Brussels sprouts were sopping in oil. Took one bite and was disgusted. Server neither offered to swap them for something else nor comp/discount. Paid full price for yuck , what a waste of time and $ today. read more

Seabirds Kitchen - Tomato Soup (pasta sauce flavor and consistency) - Vegan Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I am not vegetarian and I love this place. The food is flavorful and amazing. I don't enjoy when vegan places that try to make their food look like meat. This restaurant does not do that at all. The ingredients are super fresh and simple. I love sitting in their beautiful patio especially when it's sunny . The low point is probably the service because they seem to be understaffed. I mostly feel bad when I see one person running around trying to take care of everyone by themselves. Obviously, this does not deter me from going back but you have to allow extra time to enjoy your meal. Must try the Purple Taquitos. Be careful, they are super hot! read more

Love this place! Anytime I'm in the area I make sure to stop by for some amazing vegan food.

Flavorful food that always hits a spot! Seabirds has always been a go to for hangouts with family and friends. However, in the past few years, I've been doing more solo trips here, and I've thoroughly enjoyed them. I frequently order is the SoCal taco salad; I love the combination of the corn, the walnut meat and the overall flavors within the salad. It's also a generous portion! You can't go wrong with any of their brunch items either. The patio is perfect for a warm summer or spring day too :) read more

Didn't know it was a vegan/vegetarian spot until I saw the menu, but it was a delightful and delectable surprise :)) Got the Blueberry Mint Lemonade and then a Grilled Mushroom Taco + Beet Burger (which was rated in the top 20 vegan burgers in the US??!) because I was curious and never tried a vegan burger. Taco and fries (plus their dipping sauce) was great; the beet burger was actually pretty good too, the patty being a bit soft but still a flavorful burger. Personally I'm not a fan of the almond butter because it leaves a sweet aftertaste from the burger, but I'm glad I tried it! Service was nice and the inside is really aesthetically designed (boho-y), with outdoor seating - will definitely be back to explore the menu and try their desserts (the Whiskey Peach Crumble sounds sooo good) read more

This is our fav vegan restaurant. The food is always amazing and the staff is always nice. My kids love it too. My younger one happily eats the ABR bowl and it's so healthy. My favorite is the So Cal Taco Salad but there so many yummy things on the menu: purple taquitos, grilled cheese, burnt brussel sprouts, Avo Taco, Beets Me Burger, nachos, etc. I love that they don't use highly processed meat alternatives (ie Beyond Meat, Impossible). We love the outside sitting area with the picnic style tables and massive silk floss tree. My older one always asks to sit outside. I don't usually have an issue with parking since we come in the morning...but it can be harder to find later in the day. read more

This is the place to go for an all vegan menu. I'm not vegan, but I have vegan friends and it's hard to find places to go where we both enjoy the food. A typical restaurant will usually have a few awful vegan choices and most vegan places will have the fake meat stuff which isn't good. Seabirds offers good food in general, and it happens to be vegan. My two favorite dishes are the avocado tacos and biscuit sandwich. Full of flavor. Though while it's really good food, this is a not a healthy meal. Things a generally deep fried or filled with high levels of sodium. Parking is terrible. read more

Wow I am no where near a vegan but I scarfed down my meal here in about 5 minutes it was so good. Everything is plant based and vegan so key that in mind when planning to come here. The wait can be very long on the weekend for brunch, my wait on an early Sunday afternoon was about an hour for a table for 2. They have nice indoor seating plus an outdoor patio area with seating when the weather is gorgeous (it usually is). Great place to bring dogs and sit outdoors. Our server was so nice he brought water bowls for our dogs too. We ordered the purple taquitos, jackfruit nachos, and beets me burger. All were honestly delicious! The taquitos were packed with flavor and had a sauce on them that were just perfect. The nachos included a lot of healthy ingredients such as onion, peppers, black beans, guacamole, and cilantro. The beets burger was sooo impressive and definitely better than any impossible burger I've had elsewhere. As a meat lover, I honestly forgot I was eating a beets burger! I would be remiss to mention that the parking here sucks when it's busy and that's every weekend it seems like. Be prepared to circle for a bit and have to follow people leaving to their cars in order to find parking. The Camp across the street had the same kind of problem. read more

For a vegetarian joint, this place is ALL RIGHT. I love the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The cheese is all vegan but if you didn't tell me I wouldn't have guessed. It might just be like this cheese is slightly meltier than usual Kraft. But delicious nonetheless. The cauliflower ceviche was not at all farty-cauliflower, instead it's a perfect mix of avocado and other fun veggies and made the whole round ball of ceviche pop. The mushroom taco was also pretty good with pickled veggies on top. The whole meal finished very refreshing. But the service needs a little tune up in terms of their outside tables. The decor and ambiance is very chill. Would be back again if not for the mountain of people waiting to squeeze in the always FULL weekend parking lot. read more
