What an all-around exceptional experience, start to finish. While visiting my parents from Michigan, we stopped for a bite and will definitely be going back whenever I'm in town (and they'll certainly be returning without me!). Despite receiving only curbside service (current circumstances required as much), I felt valued and considered. Our server, a gentle yet boisterous man from across the pond, provided excellent suggestions, pairings, and even a parting gift for my flight home (which he ran through the rain to provide!). I would be back for the food alone, but the service really sold it!

An abundance of delicious, fresh, organic, locally sourced, plant based, vegetarian, and vegan offerings prepared and served by a gracious team in a peaceful, serene, and beautifully appointed creative space - it is our favorite eatery near the sea where we bring our family & friends from around the world to love, honor, and nourish body, heart, and mind. A short stroll from the ocean is another bonus - we often pick up an order and picnic on the beach :-)

My most favorite place on earth I've been eating there for over 15 years and have tried EVERYTHING, the owners (I wont say their names because today I forgot to ask them if it would be ok) are the most gentle and beautiful people you could ever hope to know and I'm blessed to be able to call them dear friends. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

My absolute favorite place if your looking for a relaxing lunch/dinner in a beautiful temple. It brings such a positive vibe to any gathering or even a solo meal . I come here at least once a week and the tofu sauce is amazing. Must I add they have the best almond/macadamia nut chocolate cake with all organic ingridience that will melt any chocolate lovers soul!!

FIRST IMPRESSIONCame here for lunch on a Saturday around 1230 PM. You can decide between outside seating in the front, back patio or inside. Since it was a bit chilly out, I opted for the outside front patio that had fresh air and some sunshine. I work indoors everyday so I usually decide to sit outside, it's my yelp motto!THE GRUBTheir whole menu sounds pretty appetizing, and I've been craving more of a plant based diet lately. The waitress was very kind (she never mentioned her name but she had long dark hair), and she told me the special of the day was the tamales. YESSS I have been craving tamales! I had a small cup of the split pea soup to start, which was nice and hot and very good! The soup also came with a hefty slice of walnut bread that they apparently make in-store. The tamales arrived and it was a pretty large portion so I immediately asked for a small box to pack some of it away. The tamales are open faced and have black beans and guac, and some with a side of some cooked veggies in a delicious sauce! Loved the side dish.I'll be back to try more for sure!

My very favorite vegetarian/vegan restaurant since 2005. The food is amazing. The broccoli tastes like no other. That being said, I will not return. February 2018:I was in the middle of a very exciting and busy day. I was feeling wonderful and it was a gorgeous day. I quickly ordered garden veggies with tofu sauce and an avocado sandwich. It was close to the time when the restaurant closes to prepare for evening meals. I was right in between my hair being done and spa facial, had just enough time for a quick bite. I took my food to go and decided to sit at the table outside the restaurant to have a quick bite of delicious veggies. I was then approached by the owner and scolded for eating out of the togo box outside in front of the restaurant. I was feeling embarrassed and ashamed. I apologized, quickly gathered my food and left. It actually bothered me so much, I had no appetite and the food was wasted. I really pondered on this for a long while, wanting to understand the situation. I want to apologize for offending the owner, that was not my intention. I feel the tone of the scolding could have been different as to where I would not have felt so awful. I have patronized the Green Temple for 13 years, it is with very mixed feelings that I shant return.

I have been trying to mix in more veggie and vegan meals during the week when I go out so always on the lookout for great spots.Really loved the Green Temple! Very cool and unique vibe eating in their outdoor courtyard. Really loved the peaceful, relaxed vibe of the place.I had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Will for sure be back to try more dishes.
Feedback:
Great option for vegan diners. The vibe in The Green Temple stands out from any restaurant in the area. You eat on patio style tables while sitting on comfy cushion (not on the floor) which makes the whole experience feel like I am eating at someones house. The food is great, the nachos and tofu steamers are my favorite while my friend swears by there soup. The service can be frustratingly slow but overall doesn't ruin the experience that The Green Temple provides.
Feedback:
Food was just ok. Definitely not worth the price. Not many good vegan options, but lots of options if you eat eggs and cheese. The mashed potatoes would have probably been better if there wasn't so much pepper in them. They really should call them pepper mashed potatoes since I would say at least an eighth of what was in the mashed potatoes was pepper. You could see the flakes all over it and that's almost all I could taste.
