    Too unfortunately the studio cafe is going to be one that I do not recommend to a lot of folks visiting. It's VERY expensive. There are a few snack / convenience store items at this spot but everything is pricy. The sandwiches taste like they're days old... the white claw was $14 (I think you can get a 12-pack cheaper than this)... I KNOW it is a theme park but still... a little outrageous. There was no one in here when we ventured in which is why it does get some stars. I like a place to myself - why not. The staff members seemed a bit aloof... I did enjoy the despicable me / minion cotton candy though... it was delicious and really adorable but boy was it pricy. I think I mentioned this but the rest of the park is way less expensive. $$$ for sure. Only come here if you have to... I think they should transform this place into something else. It also isn't themed too well considering what is around it especially with Super Mario World right next door. I hope they can re-theme... glad to have experienced it though!

    Great grab and go cafe! Set up like a market, this cafe has prepackaged and prepared foods (pizza, sandwiches, salads, chicken, fruit, veggies, cute desserts, etc.) and drinks. Simply grab what you want and head to the registers. Seating was located outside in an area shared with Panda Express. My friend and I visited the park for Halloween Horror Nights and were looking for a place in the park that had something for vegetarians (me). We stumbled across this cafe and didn't have to look any further. The restaurant wasn't crowded and there was plenty of seating available. The selection wasn't huge but it was perfect for me... Veggie Bahn Mi sandwiche and a fruit cup! My friend had the pizza and a White Claw Hard Seltzer. Surprisingly, the food was great! My sandwich was not soggy as I feared it might be. It was actually better than some Banh Mis I've had at Vietnamese restaurants! The pickled carrots really made the sandwich. Pricing was standard for the park. Customer service was friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back.

    Roasted Turkey leg at the Studio Cafe

    When Universal Studios is ridiculously crowded and there's no restaurant with an available seat, a fairly quick choice for a light meal is Studio Cafe. There's a limited selection of hot and cold items, different beverages and desserts; it's ridiculously overpriced but the quality of the food is fairly good for a non-sit-down restaurant. I'm a fan of the giant roasted Turkey leg, even though I don't often finish it; it's fun to eat-makes you connect with your inner barbarian.

    Tofu dish-the only Vegan dish in the Park
    Mirna E.

    This is located next to the Transformer Ride in the lower lot. No lines- you just grab what you want and pay. I noticed the upper lots had significantly longer lines for food. They have sandwiches, salads, sliced fruit cups, chocolate covered strawberries and more! They also sell mini bottles of wine. There are tables outside to the rear of the cafe where you can enjoy your food. They have the only vegan dish I have found in the park- a peanut Thai noodle dish. Which was tasty and filling. It came with watermelon slices and kimchi. Sure, as a vegan you might be able to find a couple side dishes in other parts of the park such as French Fries from the Krusty Burger and Corn on the Cob from the Three Broomsticks, but this is the only place you will find a satisfying meal as a vegan. Universal Studios- please add more vegan options to your menu!!! Great place for healthier food alternatives and considerably less packed than the upper lot!!!

Decided to try a few different items on the menu. We started with the Muay Thai Wing Kicks, which were absolutely amazing--perfectly crispy soy chicken wings with a great lemongrass flavor and topped with crispy basil. (Side note: we took the sauce home because it was so good lol) We also ordered the Tom Kah Kai soup which had that perfect hot-and-sour coconut broth flavor i always look for. Followed by the Pad Thai with tofu. All of the Asian dishes were so good. My husband went a different route and ordered the Burrito from their "Little Mexico" section. It comes with minced soy chicken, brown rice, black beans and cashew cheese. He thought it was just okay compared to other items we ordered. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We noticed their take out was busier than dine in because i counted no less than 8 drivers plus another 3-4 pickup orders came in while we were there. And we were there pretty late.

    My friend was craving ramen and found RedWhite because of its high Yelp ratings, which sounded good…read moreto me. What he apparently did not notice during this research phase was one fairly major detail: the entire restaurant is vegan. Once he realized it, there was a definite moment of hesitation. I was more in the camp of, "Well, you brought us here. We're committed now." Thankfully, his accidental vegan ramen selection turned out to be a very good one. The space is compact and dimly lit, with dark walls, simple wood tables, and a warm glow throughout. It was packed when we went, which gave the room a lively energy, but it still felt cozy rather than chaotic. Once the bowls arrived, any skepticism disappeared pretty quickly. The broth was much richer and more flavorful than either of us expected, with that creamy, savory quality you want from a comforting bowl of ramen. We both finished ours. I had the No. 9 Truffle Salt Ramen and added fried dumplings to mine. The dumplings gave the bowl a nice crispy contrast, and the truffle flavor came through without overpowering everything else. The funniest part is that neither of us walked in specifically looking for vegan ramen. We just wanted a good bowl of ramen, and that's exactly what we got. Parking is available in the shared plaza lot, but keep in mind those spaces are shared with the neighboring businesses. Street parking is another option if the lot is full. My friend may not have realized he was taking us for vegan ramen, but I'm giving him full credit for the accidental discovery.

    The staff is friendly, service is fast, and the whole menu is vegan. Although some may consider…read morethis to be a unique dining experience, and probably intended for our fellow vegetarians and vegans, unfortunately this restaurant is not for me. I am not vegan, nor am I opposed to trying new vegan spots, but this one was doing the most. The menu is so simple, yet so elaborate with the different flavored soups you can choose. I tried the No. 8 red hot miso signature ramen bowl. Signature ramen bowls came with corn, dumpling, arugula, ginger tofu scramble, noodles, and crispy onion. I think warm arugula was not for me, and the tofu scramble was way too much since the broth was already so rich. The signature priced at $23. The broth is very thick, heavy, and overpowering. The broth is so rich and thick that I could not even finish the bowl without getting so tired of it halfway. The flavors were very interesting. There was a smoky hint and smell throughout the restaurant, and I was not the biggest fan of it. Once the bowl of ramen is ready, they put this glass lid on time and wait a certain time until they walk it out. My cousin tried the mac and cheese, and that was delicious. The truffle taste is very present and lingered the entire night - forewarning. Inside the restaurant was unique house music playing loudly and it was dark. It was giving mysterious dining. For presentation and creativity, this place gets a 10/10. I do not think I will be returning. Additional suggestion: having meat alternative options to add to the bowl. Parking is terrible in the small plaza and it is difficult to find parking on Ventura Blvd.

Leonor's has been a staple in our lives for a reason--you can genuinely feel the decades of love, dedication, and heart that this family puts into every single dish. Since 1988, they've been serving up the absolute best vegetarian and vegan Mexican food in Los Angeles. ​Everything on the menu is bursting with authentic, delicious flavor without ever needing meat. You walk through the doors and immediately feel like part of their family. It's warm, welcoming, nourishing, and a true neighborhood treasure. Thank you to the incredible family behind Leonor's for feeding our hearts and souls for nearly 40 years! We love you guys!

    In honor of National Son's Day, I took my vegan son to one of his favorite spots for lunch:…read moreLeonors, a cozy Mexican spot that serves a large menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Occupying the inside corner of a tiny commercial nook near Moorpark & Whitsett, it's a warm and welcoming restaurant with a very friendly and accommodating staff. Each table has a handmade wooden caddie for condiments, and the walls are filled with colorful artwork honoring Mexico and its famous icons (the wall by our table had a variety of paintings of artist Frida Khalo). As mentioned, there are bunches of dishes to choose from on the menu, all of them vegetarian, and most able to be made vegan. My son ordered the Vegan Cheese Empanada, and the Cheese Enchilada Dinner Plate. The empanada was quite large -- more like what you'd expect of an Italian Calzone, not that there's anything wrong with that. The dough was browned but soft (clearly baked, not fried), and was generously filled with vegan cheese. A side of hot sauce was a fiery blend of tomato, vinegar and peppers, and packed a serious punch. The Cheese Enchilada Plate was also a hefty portion: 2 large enchiladas dressed with plenty of fresh veggies and sliced avocado, served with house-made black beans and an earthy, nutty rendition of rice. Since I don't care for the taste of vegan cheese, I only sampled the rice and beans, but I will tell you they were terrific. These beans are slow-stewed with veggies and spices, leading to a deep, rewarding flavor; the rice is also made with care, blending several grains together and having a pleasing al dente texture a kin to risotto. Between the charming staff, the cozy atmosphere and the clean-tasting, homemade food, Leonors really is a great place to grab a casual meal you can feel good about eating while supporting a small business that deserves to thrive.

Love all the pink balanced by the green plants. Lots of drink options yet we stuck to an Americano and tea. Although we aren't vegan, we were pleased with the food options. The "ham and cheese" croissant was delicious. The avocado toast was probably one of the best I've had. Sweetness of the avo paired with the acidic tart of the pickled onions along with the capers, topped w tagine made for a scrumptious breaky.

    Tried out Coffee and Plants this weekend and honestly the vibe here is really cool…read more They actually sell plants in the shop too, and everything drink wise is 100% plant based, which is such a unique concept. The space itself feels really nice, the kind of spot you could bring a book, host a book club, or just settle in to study for a while. The floral wall and overall aesthetic make it feel like a little oasis. As for the drinks, we got the Superglow Latte and a seasonal pumpkin latte with pumpkin cold foam. Unfortunately the coffee itself just wasn't that good, I'd rate it around a 2/5. Honestly comparable to the Capital One Cafe coffee in terms of quality, and I was hoping for more given how much thought clearly went into the space. That said, the barista was really nice and helpful, and the vibe alone makes it worth a visit. I'm giving this a 3/5 overall, mainly for the atmosphere rather than the coffee itself. If this review helped, a thumbs up is always appreciated

    I want to start by saying, that my wife and I give every vegan place a shot, as there are so few…read moreleft. That being said, We were in NoHo, and saw "The Vegan & More" in Studio City, so we made a detour, and decided to give this establishment a try. The address for this place is simple, however, when you look for the marquee that reads "The Vegan & More" you don't see it. What you do see is at the same address (and they happen to have a Yelp Page for that restaurant too BTW) is the Jumpin Java Kitchen, which has been there since 1995! As you can see from the photos, this place that first attracted us to come, is not a full blown restaurant, nor a pop-up (that we also passed on this a.m.) but a page from the menu from another restaurant. To me, this is what one would call BAIT AND SWITCH. Now let's get on to what was ordered.. My wife ordered the Vegan Egg Scramble.. and mind you, the photo that they showcase both on Yelp and Google, is FAR FROM what they served. The key to this dish is the vegan egg... not the veggies... .and you can see from our posted photos, from this a.m. there's barely anything there... which is why my wife didn't eat it. Now there are a few things that really bug me here... 1. The Vegan & More should not have a page on Yelp,a and Yes, I am going to complain, as when we arrived at the address, there's absolutely NOTHING there to say we were in the right place, other than the address. Also when we asked the server, he confirmed they have Vegan Options.. Not once was the name "Vegan & More" mentioned! 2. Portions, what you advertise from your photos, IS NOT what you serve. Forget about the overabundant of "home potatoes" that costs you nothing, but the very key of the meal, for a vegan to eat, you barely put anything on... yet while your photos show otherwise... 3. When the server asked if we wanted a box, and we refused, you would think the owner would be notified that the meal hasn't be touched... but no.. nothing. We got the check, paid WAY TOO MUCH for barely anything... Did I eat, yes, was it good, it was ok... but that's not why we were here... A new Vegan Restaurant in Studio City is what brought us here... However, FULL TRANSPARENCY is needed! Don't say one thing, and be something else... not even a mention to rebranding, nothing... Jumpin Java Kitchen IS what is where you would expect to find The Vegan & More"... Beware....!!!!

Did not check on us at all even when we motioned to them. We waited and waited for the check and 3 different servers asked how the food was. We said it's was not good and we're obviously unhappy. No one made any attempt to converse with us or offer anything other than the bill. $70 for bad service, weird attitudes and bland food.
