The only thing I'd improve on is to give some of the cats the special collars (like they have at other cat cafe's) to let us know if the cats aren't friendly. There were 2 cats in particular that were kind of scary trying to pick fights and scratch both other cats and humans. Also my best tip is to wear disposable socks you are cool with throwing away since you have to take off your shoes and your socks get all cat hair and dirty.

As you enter, greetings from staff echo from the counter. Do you check out the shop or grab a drink and browse? Whatever you do, do not skip the banana cold foam on your drink if you love banana! The hospitality here is evident the moment you walk in. Staff were ready to take our order, answer questions and even checked to see if our drinks were to our liking. Think fashionable design meets European charm for the interior atmosphere, right down to the plates. Morning Lavender offers table seating as well as booths and can accommodate large parties for events. Now for the good stuff- let's talk an Iced Mocha with extra chocolate and an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The Mocha with extra chocolate was indulgent and velvety with the espresso seamlessly intertwined. A decadent treat to enjoy as the morning started to warm up into the afternoon. Just a suggestion for those who enjoy the richer side of coffee and espresso. A dash of a bit more cream would've added that refined richness. The star of the morning was definitely the Iced Chia Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The description of cold cream hardly captures and embodies what this Banana Cold Foam really is. Think lusciously thick banana smoothie topping off your drink. Impossibly creamy and bursting with ripe banana. Crowning the drink sat a slice of banana bathed on one side in a caramelized sauce similar to crème brûlée. Crunchy peanuts generously scattered on top, making an irresistible contrast in texture. This drink was truly an exceptional culinary experience. I will be back again and again for the Banana Cold Foam.

I went to this cute little café with my husband last Saturday night and the place was packed! I didn't know they take reservations because I could not get a seat inside. The person at the counter told me that the party of 20+ people who took over the whole space just gave notice a few days in advance that they were coming, so they had to make accommodations. There were not even seats at the windows. Though it felt kind of chilly out, they did have heaters and the outside ambiance with candles were romantic. So we didn't mind. We were even lucky to get a seat right next to the beautifully lighted fountain (mind you that the outside seating was full as well). I ordered a Freesoul Salad which consisted of garbanzo beans, Kalamata olives, organic grape tomatoes, hearts of palm, and vegan feta cheese. The salad was a very generous portion which I cannot finish alone. It came with a wonderfully toasted side of batard bread and vegan butter. Now, the vegan feta cheese was amazing and I cannot believe vegan cheese can taste so good, without the overpowering and artificial taste like other vegan cheese available in the market. I had to ask one of the server where I can buy this if it was at all possible. The server told me that the vegan feta was made in-house in which they soak the blanched almond overnight and then mix it with rosemary, thyme, lemon juice and seasoning and baked them over very low heat. Wow, that explains the amazing, natural flavors and exceptional quality of food. I do some cooking myself and believe me, blanched almond or any forms of nuts used to make vegan cheese are very expensive ingredients. My husband had a Panini Caprese (hummus and pesto spread with roasted yellow and red peppers, sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, Roma tomatoes, and organic baby spinach). This Panini was huge and came with a wonderfully dressed organic baby spinach salad with Kalamata olives, super sweet grape tomatoes and candied pecan. I took a bite out of his Panini and I got to tell you, this was the best (vegan or not) Panini I've had in a long time. Very high quality and organic ingredients do make a huge difference in the wholesomeness of our meal. For dessert, we both shared a pumpkin pecan cake with sour cream ganache. The pumpkin cake was super moist and the flavor blended perfectly well with the chocolate ganache. Thanks to a friend of ours who have been raving about this place, the drive from LA was so worth it... great night, great food and great ambiance. This spot is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to visit the next time we're in the OC. read more

My sister told us to check this business out, so we did. It's in Old Town Tustin, and we were able to park at a lot nearby, but you can also park on the street if you're lucky. The restaurant itself is quite nice--modern, open, and friendly. If you want to dine outdoors, there's also a terrace. I got my mom the soup of the day, which was mushroom. It was simple to choose since she likes soup. I chose the usual size, and there was a lot of food (they also had a half size). My mom is quite picky, and if she doesn't like anything, you'll know right away. At first, the soup didn't appear so great, but she ate the whole bowl, which says all you need to know. I got the chicken panini and shared it with my mom. It had a salad on the side. And to be honest, it tasted extremely wonderful even if it wasn't "real" chicken. I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference if I hadn't known it was vegan. I ordered an iced coffee for myself and a ginger apple drink for my mom. She seemed to like it. That iced coffee was really good; it was almost like a slushy and was quite refreshing. We went there with some friends, and it seemed like everyone liked their dinner. One of my friends got a hamburger. The patties certainly looked extremely... vegan-y (not sure if that's a legitimate term, but you get the idea). You could tell it wasn't meat. She felt it was simply alright, but after eating a piece of her mom's Caprese panini, she stated it was much better than her own. Then it was time for dessert, and sure, we ordered four of them. It's apparent that this gang loves sweets. We had red velvet cake, peanut butter cheesecake, key lime pie, and coconut cake. I really liked the key lime pie and the coconut cake. The dessert servings are little, but not too small. They're just right for sharing at the table. The service was wonderful. You sit down, and a waiter or waitress approaches to collect your order. The guy who assisted us was incredibly kind and paid attention to us the whole time we ate. My sister told me they had great pizzas, but I guess you can't get them till after 5 p.m. Would I go back? I'm not a vegan at all, but the meal was very excellent. I don't think I'd be a regular, but I may come back at least once more just to sample those pizzas. read more

Today, my husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Free Soul Caffé, a delightful restaurant that prides itself on its all-vegan menu. This was actually our second visit to the establishment, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed. The standout feature of Free Soul Caffé is undoubtedly the delicious and fresh food they offer. Every item we tried was bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. One dish that particularly stood out was the Panini Caprese, accompanied by a side salad. The spring mix salad, topped with a couple of walnuts, provided a refreshing and light accompaniment to the savory panini. The combination was simply delightful. However, the highlight of our meal came in the form of their homemade ice cream sandwich for dessert. I cannot stress enough how amazing this treat was. I wholeheartedly recommend it and believe it deserves to be a featured item on their menu. The ice cream sandwich was an absolute indulgence that left us craving for more. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the texture was perfect. It was undoubtedly a memorable and must-try dessert at Free Soul Caffé. In terms of ambiance, we opted to sit on their outdoor patio, which provided a pleasant and tranquil setting for our meal. The restaurant offers ample seating both indoors and outdoors, ensuring that customers have comfortable options. Moreover, the customer service at Free Soul Caffé was exceptional. The staff was extremely friendly and created a welcoming environment that made us feel right at home. The overall atmosphere was quiet and conducive to all occasions, whether you're dining alone or with a large group. Additionally, finding parking in the neighborhood was hassle-free, adding to the convenience of visiting the café. I highly recommend giving Free Soul Caffé a try. We will certainly be back whenever we find ourselves in the area, and I encourage you to experience the culinary delights this café has to offer. read more

My parents and I went out to dinner at this newly renovated vegan restaurant in Tustin earlier tonight. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the foods were outstanding to say the least. We had been here many times before, and not once were we ever disappointed with the place, the food, the service, its staff or management. So most, if not all, of the negative reviews that I've read here are completely unfair and downright untrue. We absolutely love Freesoul's new look. It just seems even classier and more elegant, while still keeping its usual charming, romantic, cozy and warm ambiance. This restaurant is simply awesome and, in my honest estimation, one of the very best in Southern California. We ordered a Panini Frittata (vegan scrambled egg sandwich), Freesoulini and Marinara pastas. Those were our main course. For appetizers, we had Sautéed Green Beans & Charred Brussels Sprouts. Our palates were utmost grateful for the foods were way beyond our expectation. Everything was so tasty and satisfying. As vegans, we're absolutely grateful that this lovely restaurant exists at all, let alone it being so close to where we all live. It offers exceptional vegan dishes at such affordable prices. Even if you were a non-vegan, I'm certain that you would enjoy the food here just as much as any other places. Freesoulcaffe is easily one of my most favorite restaurants. Period. Every time I have guests from out-of-town, I always take them here. It's a sure place that they would enjoy not only the super yummy vegan food, but also the beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. read more

Atmosphere cool hip with a touch of rustic!! Food average not super flavorful nor creative but all vegan. I have had definitely better places. We had the soup decent it was carrot lentil, fettuccine little dry not as saucy and creamy as it should, gnocchi was good and fluffy and delicious mushrooms. Panini good not super flavorful had the tomatoes with a pesto I think it was okay. I had an off menu vietnamese drink they stated it was strong but tasted like crap. it would be something you give someone who has had food poisoning and needs to drink this to continue getting the toxic food out of system, it's that bad!!! I sent it back but they charged me for it, this just makes me know they are not a good restaurant that shows exceptional customer service, they don't even say sorry she said told you so. I said you told me snip it of the drink and said it was good, well I rather drink Chlorine lol. I don't think they really described how it would taste like but it was the worst drink I have ever had close to a durian shake comparison!!! Would i come back, not at all!!!

This cozy place offered up some good stuff. It wasn't the typical walk in walk out cafe spot. Also the desserts all looked good, but I limited this trip to two. This is the rundown Earth Salad: 4 - the salad was fresh and light. topped with artichoke, which i love, made it even better. Portabello mushroom Soup: 4 - this soup was thick and full of mushrooms. it was good, but wish it had a bit more flavor to it, but that's the nature of mushrooms as their flavor isn't intense. also note that the soup was HUGE. Pumpkin Pie: 3 - the crust was crunchy, and the pie soft and nutty. there wasn't much pumpkin flavor to it though which could be because of it's small size. Green Tea Cupcake: 5 - this was insanely good and better than i expected. i didn't even want to order this originally but was convinced and was worth it. cake was moist, frosting was sweet, the nuts were a nice crunch read more

I love coming here. My family and I come here about 1-2 times a month. I love there new "egg" sandwich (not sure what the actual name is but just ask the cashier for it). It tastes really good. My husband and kids love the BLT sandwich and their mushroom and butternut soup. I don't understand why people are complaining on yelp about not being able to study here. Don't come here if you are planning on studying- the library is down the street. Just because it's called a "caffe", it doesn't mean you should buy a cup of coffee and nurse it for 4 hours while you work on your computer (even if there is no one else in the place). It is a cafe/restaurant where you order food and drinks, sit down, enjoy your meal, socialize for a bit and go home. They DO serve food so I would imagine that others might want to sit down and enjoy their meal too. Enjoy!! read more

Food: I've worked by Freesoulcaffe since they opened in this location. I tried them many moons ago when their menu was still small and being developed. It's been years since I've tried them again (only because I'm not a huge sweets/coffee person). Now they they have a full menu, that's vegan to boot, I had to try! Came with my cousin for lunch and was not disappointed! I got the truffle burger and it was delicious. Granted this isn't like one of those burgers where you think you're eating meat. Regardless though, the truffle mushroom melody with a bouncy bun and light salad on the side was perfect, filling and delicious. Definitely looking to make this a more routine lunch stop! Service: Our server was attentive and very friendly. The space was clean and very cutely decorated! Perfect for lunch outside on a summers day! read more

Freesoul Cafe is hands down the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to! Every single item on the menu is crafted with organic, high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the love and care in each bite. From savory mains to decadent desserts, everything is absolutely delicious. Whether you're vegan or not, you'll be blown away by the flavors, textures, and creativity in their dishes. It's clear that they prioritize both health and taste, which is so rare to find. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed brunch, lunch with friends, or a cozy solo moment with a latte and dessert. If you're in the Tustin area (or even if you're not), do yourself a favor and visit Freesoul Cafe. It's a true sanctuary for anyone who loves good food and conscious living. read more

My friend and I each ordered one drink. The patio section was mostly full, but there were only 2 people inside. We were meeting to talk about a book we were writing. We each had a notebook out and a pen to jot down notes. Nothing else. About 30 min later, after we finished our drinks, a waiter came out and asked if we wanted something else. Planning on leaving soon, we said no. "Oh, well if you are not going to order anything else, I'm going to have to ask you to leave." "But we did buy something." "Yes, but we have a no studying policy." "We aren't studying. We are talking." "You have to order something else, or you have to leave." I don't care how good the treats are; kicking out customers for just talking is absolutely uncalled for. Never going there again! read more

Pleasant place, cheap beer and friendly team. What is to not like We were there to look at some soccer on a thursday night and it absolutely was not-too crowded, but there were some truly loud talkers and folks screaming as they performed LCR (cube game)... I love LCR, but don't need to have somebody screaming in my own ear for 30-minutes right about this. But, their jukebox (frozen in time at 1974) performed all kinds of classic rock from the sixties around 1974 was a nice diversion from the screaming going on. Maybe I am just getting too old Anyhow, can come back and definitely try the hamburger that everybody brags about. CASH ONLY... so leave the Platinum AmEx at home (besides, who plays LCR using a creditcard anyhow) Cheers! read more

What a disappointment for a place that projects itself as being spiritual. (1) The new BENCH seating is like a prison, Who's idea was that? (2) Rude and indifferent employees. (3) The prices keep going up and the portions keep shrinking. They used to serve a piece of bread THREE times what they now serve (when the first opened). (4) The Vietnamese owners have soon learned the meaning of "American Greed" - and GREED is NOT good for business. (5) No sides. No substitutes. No tickie, No shirtee. No good review. Some PHO dives on Bolsa Avenue are better run. Wake up! read more

Just tried their Potato Pizza tonight and it was really good. Their crust was chewy and light which I appreciate. If my friend did not recommend me getting this pizza, I would have never thought potato can taste so good on a pizza. Besides the potato, it had feta and rosemary which gives it such nice aroma. BTW: the staff at the counter mentioned that Freesoul may be coming out with their signature vegan burger soon... and a few more pizzas too. Now this gives me something to look forward to. read more

The Atlantic Sandwich was out of this world tasty. If you like tuna sandwiches, this is definitely a must have. The ice coffee was excellent. The ambiance inside is loft-brick style chic - very well designed. They have a wide range of teas and coffees, and outstanding bake goods. My wife and I loved the carrot soup - it taste like chicken noodle soup - you all should have some. Can't wait to come back to try a new dish. The staff is super friendly and helpful. read more

When I don't have time to cook for my family, I always take them to Freesoul. I love the foods here. Everything is fresh and healthy. i usually order the BLT, freesoulini pasta and potato pizza. I have tried many restaurant even ones in LA, but nothing could compare to this. The waiter and waitress at this place are so polite. They always say "thank you" and "have a nice day". I like how the owner remodel the place. The environment is warm, quiet, and very relaxing. read more

Freesoulcaffe is a very good casual restaurant serving plant based food. Most menu items are tasty, but small portioned. This makes makes it somewhat expensive for big eaters to leave feeling satisfied. I usually order at least two entriees but many may find a single entree spot on. I particularly like their pastas, burgers, and the portobello panini. They have indoor and outdoor seating and an attentive staff. read more

We had a wonderful experience! The service was friendly, and the environment was lovely, especially the outdoor seating. I had the Hatch Burger, which had just the right amount of spice. The agave lemonade was lightly sweet and refreshing. The pizza had a yummy, fluffy crust, and the gnocchi was pillowy and absolutely delicious. Overall, everyone in our group was happy with their meal. Highly recommend! read more

First of all I am a meat eater. I love steaks, chops, ribs, roasts and especially prime rib. However I came across this place on Yelp and decided to try it with a coworker and his friend. It was very good! I had the pseudo-chicken Alfredo and it was delicious. The mushroom soup was also awesome. I'll have to bring back the family next time. The service was also excellent. read more

Got the breakfast sandwich and it was pretty good! I'm personally not vegan and don't eat vegan food regularly. But it was still good. Recommend the sandwich! Food was good but kind of on the exoensive side for a sandwich bc it was around $12-13. Also, they seem to not like us staying for lil long after we finished eating (perhaps just how I felt) read more

We always order the beer-battered tacos, purple taquitos, and the Brussels sprouts--they're all incredible. The jackfruit is top-notch and absolutely shines in the nachos. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is what keeps me coming back. The outdoor patio is beautiful, the indoor décor is warm and inviting, and the whole restaurant feels like a welcoming community rather than just somewhere to eat. The staff deserves a special shout-out. Tanner is hardworking, creative, hilarious, and somehow manages to make every visit more fun while providing excellent service.

Since it's a vegetarian restaurant, I was excited to give it a try, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. We ordered three different tacos, and they were all delicious. My absolute favorite was the Beer Battered Avocado Taco. It was packed with flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside, and the creamy avocado inside made every bite amazing. If no one told me it was vegetarian, I probably wouldn't have even noticed because it was that satisfying. We also tried their house-made Fig Vanilla Iced Tea, which was so refreshing and unique. It paired perfectly with the tacos and was a great choice for a warm California afternoon. To start, we ordered the chips and guacamole, which were fresh, light, and the perfect snack while waiting for our food. Everything tasted fresh and made with quality ingredients. We sat outside under the large umbrellas, and the outdoor seating area had such a relaxing atmosphere. It almost felt like we were having a little picnic while enjoying the beautiful weather and people watching around The LAB. The service was also fantastic. Our server was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or just looking to try something different, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

ELLIE'S TABLE had a 4.5 star rating and when I looked at pictures of the shop and drinks, it looked promising. That was my mistake -- the one time I go off of just pictures and not read the reviews. I did not realize that this was a shop located in an office building. That was what tipped me off that I probably wouldn't be enjoying what I ordered. I got an iced earl grey latte, which I didn't end up finishing because it was just okay. So much open space outside and the interior is nice. It's probably a great option if you work in the building, but if you're coming just for food/coffee, might not be worth it. It's hard to find and there's no parking right in front. Service was okay. I was the only one there and I let them know I was picking up an order and the guy couldn't find the order. He had to ask his co-worker, but the drink was right behind him.

The cookies also looked good since I was there early and saw them coming out of the oven. The poke nachos were good. I liked the chips they used and it wasn't fishy.

You get to choose a variety of toppings and two sauces. I got tzatziki and hummus which tied all the flavors together. The tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled beets and cabbage I chose as toppings were all fresh and added brightness to the meal. Pita Wrap- This is a hefty and filling wrap! We got ours with chicken shwarma and it was loaded with your choice of ingredients and sauce. The meat was out of this world in taste. Every bite is truly a delight! Za'atar Fries- I could snack on these all day. The fries were perfectly crispy and served hot and fresh.

You're going to pay sit down restaurant prices while eating out of paper plates. $20 chicken kebab plus tax and tips - that is the exact same price as at Panini Kabob Grill. The pricing point is kind of a stretch for work lunch hour meals. I'm not sure that too many people are going to be willing to pay $25 for their lunches but the quality of food seems to be on point and that is rare around the downtown area where most restaurants serve burgers, fries, and all sort of deep fried dishes. For that price, honestly, my bigger beef was eating out of paper plates. Chipotle does this, but their meals are a lot more generous and cheaper. I think you should definitely give this place a try at least once and then decide whether to come back by yourself. The food was good.
