    So Cal Crunch Wrap
    Benzer V.

    Been on a vegan-food binge lately and decided to give this place a try with my coworker. First of all, love the simple and artistic layout of the outdoor seating, we had a lovely view of the sunset. We started off with the fries and roasted brusselsprouts, a great suggestion from Tanner, our server. I ordered a Passionfruit Tea and added their agave sweetener, I loved how delicate the agave was and the tea was super refreshing. In terms of main dish I went with the So Cal Crunchwrap, and it was so light, but delicious! My coworker ended up ordering the Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese and it was also delightful with how gentle the tomato flavor was with the sandwiches. Tanner made such a great impression (and jokes too!) for my first time here, I'm def returning when I get the chance.

    I was craving something fresh and light, I can't even put into words how good it is. You all just have to go in and try it for yourselves!

    Love Love this place!! How in the world is this a vegan only restaurant! Ha! Not only is the food absolutely delish but the staff is always so friendly! I need them to open a location on the East coast :D Y'all already know, I'll be back! LOL

    Butternut enchiladas- shiitake mushrooms, spinach and butternut squash filling

    I loved this place. There's something for everyone. The purple potato rolled taquitos were perfectly crispy. The butternut enchiladas were super good. The Mac n cheese was good (not my personal fave) but my daughter who is a Mac n cheese connoisseur loved it. Tanner was our server and he was awesome -poetic and comedic!

    Some people have a preconceived distaste for vegan/vegetarian food... admittedly myself included (at times). Shame one me. The food here is amazing. The flavors of my Warm Cauliflower Salad - phenomenal. Roasted cauliflower has yet to fail me anywhere and my salad was so fresh and SAVORY. It was also huge so I took leftovers. Surprisingly still a delicious salad the next day. Tofu, arugula, lots of nuts and chili oil, pickled peppers, roasted cauliflower... yum. Grilled Mushroom Taco - I had higher expectations for but it was OK. My friends got the Taquitos... amazing as well. I will be ordering that next time! All the dishes are surprisingly very filling. I've heard about this place often and now I understand why. Portions are generous and the ambiance of every business at the Lab is charming. They servers gave us cookies and scones on the house as we were dining here the end of the night which was so sweet! 10/10.

    Porque Maria
    Holly K.

    I love Seabird's and am glad it's still around. Grilled Cheese & Tomato soup is an OG favorite of mine. I remember coming maybe 10 or so years ago, newly vegan, trying the grilled cheese- and having to stop and ask a staff member if Seabird's was fully vegan (I was worried the grilled cheese had dairy cheese because it was so mouthwateringly delicious)- it was and still is fully vegan. 10/10 recommend the grilled cheese!!! I got an email about The Porque Maria being a weekend special this weekend only so had to try it! Sadly I was disappointed. The arugula overpowered the rest of the features I was looking forward to. I wouldn't get it again. My fiance got the BBQ Burger and enjoyed it, a was pleasantly surprised by the battered red onions inside! I had a bite too, yum! We opted for outside seating since we were hoping for sun, but the patio was mostly shady at the time of day we went. Our server kindly turned the heater on for us and even let us move closer to it. I hope to keep coming back to Seabird's for a really long time!

    Breakfast Burrito and tacos (one of each)
    Nina W.

    Parking lot is kinda poorly designed but the area is pretty cool. Dog friendly outdoor dining! I tried each of the 3 tacos: Beer battered Avo taco, adobo taco and the grilled mushroom taco. The Avo taco is definitely the best!! It's so good and the flavors are perfect. The adobo taco is second and the grilled mushroom was ok. My husband ordered the burrito from the brunch menu and he thought it was pretty good for being vegan. He's not a vegan fan and he didn't mind it. The burrito is heavy on the seasoning though. We also got the lake show mocktail. Pretty but NOT worth the $10. Spend it on food. Would recommend to try!

    The food here is quite flavorless and bland but definitely appears to be healthy choices. We tried the Korean bowl and the pesto pasta. I really love the atmosphere and the outdoor patio seating here - however likely wouldn't return just due to the food aspect

    Jackfruit Nachos
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located in the lab anti mall in Costa Mesa - parking available in lot though can be hard to find during busier hours - indoor and outdoor seating available - we walked in on a weekend evening though it was filled so might be a good idea to make a reservation - food served relatively quickly - ambiance good for a semi casual meal MENU - global inspired small bites and entrees - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - jackfruit nachos (8/10): corn chips topped with black beans, adobo style jackfruit, chipotle sour cream, almond cotija, and salsa. This was listed under the big plates section of the menu and the portion size did not disappoint. It could be shared between a few people as a larger starter or eaten as an entree for one. The flavors worked well together as many of them had a Mexican influence. I requested to add the walnut chorizo which was nice to make the dish slightly heartier. The one thing that i wish they had added was a dollop of guacamole. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The menu selection is diverse for both dinner and brunch.

    So Cal Taco Salad, Mac & Cheese 2.0
    Madison O.

    Hands down the best vegan food I've ever tried! Literally every single dish was tasty and fresh. Our favorites were the BBQ burger and avocado taco :) lots of seating was available (however we did come on a Thursday) and we enjoyed sitting outside on the cute picnic tables they had. The server was friendly and quick with the service. I will definitely be coming back here!

    Beets Me Burger
    Sara Z.

    If all vegan food was this good, it would be really easy to be vegan! Unfortunately the Long Beach location closed, so when we have the chance and happen to be in the area we try and make a stop here. The food is all really good and they have beautiful presentation. I recommend all the food we got (Beets Me Burger, Zippy Fries, Purple Taquitos, and the Butternut Squash Enchiladas) and while not necessarily cheap, I still feel like their prices are very reasonable. They present their food so well that it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. The staff is personable and they really make coming here an enjoyable experience. Seabirds is located in a super cool and unique shopping center with other fun little shops to check out. There's a pretty big parking lot, but it still gets busy but we've never had trouble finding a space.

    Purple taquitos, tomato soup, pure Joy. Devoured the grilled cheese too quickly to document (oops).,
    Korbi K.

    Seabirds has still got it. Hands down one of my favorite vegan restaurants -- and honestly, one of my favorite restaurants in all of Orange County. Beyond the standouts I mentioned in my last review, you absolutely can't go wrong with the Caesar salad (add the grilled tofu), the adobo jackfruit taco, or the SoCal Crunch Wrap. Ermagherd. I genuinely drool just thinking about this place. And did I mention the tomato soup and grilled cheese? Or the avocado-based chocolate mousse? Because I should have. Both are next-level. At this point, consider me officially addicted.

    Purple Taquitos Grilled Mushroom Taco
    Jerline H.

    On a Tuesday afternoon at 6pm, my friend and I walked right in. The outside was bright without being ostentatiously sunny, and perfectly weathered - not too hot, not too cold. There were folks indoors, presumably trying to escape the rays of sun that we too were trying to avoid by sitting on the same side of the bench outside. Our waiter was delightful and helpful and efficient. Nook had sadly closed at 6pm so the first order of business was some caffeine. The matcha strawberry with oat milk did not disappoint. We also loved the purple potato taquito, the mushroom taco, socal crunch wrap, and the chaffle. I was impressed with the burst of flavor in each bite. I would get all of these options again, but seeing how delicious these were I am intrigued by the rest of the menu. When my friend suggested Seabirds, I was not enthused by the vegan label but I figured I was due for some veggies in my diet. Boy was I glad we gave this restaurant a try. I'll be back!
