Yummy. Each dish was super tasty. The Panang curry was fantastic with the mock chicken. The chicken looks like real chicken and tricked my boyfriend. He knew this place was vegan but didn’t believe it cuz it looked like torn breasts we would have normally. Cute decor, bright, a little chilly which was nice. Tea, coffee, beers, cocktails. We didn’t try brunch but will be back.

A charming vegan spot with the most delightful yellow-toned interior, it instantly lifted my mood. The atmosphere felt warm, playful, and thoughtfully designed. Every dish I ordered was genuinely delicious, and even the coffee, which I hadn’t expected much from, turned out to be surprisingly excellent. If you visit, you simply must try the garlic butter mushroom toast, it was absolutely outstanding

I've always walked by Grains and finally stopped in to try lunch on a Friday afternoon. I tried one of the chef's specials pad krapow with chicken and it was so delicious! I think they just started serving meat and used to be a fully vegan restaurant. Staff is friendly. Would highly recommend!

First time here. Very pleased with the atmosphere and the timing of our arrival. Started getting busy after we arrived the menu has so many choices and they list everything on the menu including allergenic food and gluten-free options. You will not be disappointed. Save the flavor and also make sure to get one of their signature drinks. It will be a place to remember. ✨️👌🏾💯

Very long day working the Kaiser strike 🪧 how restorative a visit here is! I did not realize it was Vegan until arrival. The reviews were so strong I was on a fast track. Vegans know how to balance sources of protein. Just be open minded about that and give it a whirl. You will not only survive but indeed THRIVE. Thanks Grains!!
