Tried the Italian as well as the mushroom bomblette. Both were fantastic. Decent portion size and came with a good little salad. The ambiance here is impeccable and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. This was my favorite out of 4 vegan restaurants visited so far in Playa del Carmen. Plan to be back soon! read more

The Pitted Date - Mushroom bomblette Italian bomblette - Vegan Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

I came on two occasions and both I enjoyed. This is a vegan place. The products are high quality And the composition of plates is intelligent. I've ordered the fruit bowl, tempura cauliflower tacos, and falafel pita. The fruit in the bowl is fairly fresh. It's a basic fruit bowl. The tempura cauliflower tacos have outstanding thick tortillas, fresh avocado, well executed tempura cauliflower, and fresh pickled cabbage. The balance of flavors makes for a genuinely good tack. The falafel pita was also quite good. The falafel had a crisp bite and smooth savory chick pea interior. The fries that are included are fresh, crisp on the bite, and smooth on the inside. read more

There's a reason this place is 5 stars. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Playa Del Carmen. They take vegan to a whole different level! Everything I've ordered here has hit the spot. The food, service, quality, price- all perfect. The parking is always easy and it's walking distance to the beach. Their outdoor seating is so quaint and relaxing. Their pancakes are to die for. I highly recommend everyone visit. I can't reiterate this enough- everything here is amazing. read more

I met a chick in Tulum prior to coming to Playa Del Carmen. She said vegan options were hard to find. I guess she didn't know The Pitted Date existed. It looks like a former retail store turned restaurant.. Indoor and Outdoor seating.. Table service.. I wasn't sure about table service because the one guy working in front was laid back, aloof but nice. I didn't even think it was more than a juice bar with some snacks around the counter but they have a full on menu. On the pricey side at that.. I didn't love what I had. It was ok. Ok enough to come back and try other things but also-- meh. read more

Great menu - amazing food - amazing juice! I would not recommend to matcha latte, the one I got was very bitter. My guess is they are brewing the matcha at temperature that is too high and burning the tea. read more

A great spot for foodies and vegans. They have so many options if you look at their menu. I was overwhelmed with the number of choices. It has such cute decorations such as succulents and quotes in the store. Came here with my friends that don't eat meat and they really enjoyed what they had to offer. The cashier is really nice too and took their time with the food. I got a latte, açaí bowl, and huevos rancheros and I was not disappointed. I was really full at the end and the food was quite colorful. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to not eat meat or dairy products. read more

Probably one of the highlights of this Mexico trip. All the food that we tried here was so good. All are very delicious. If I could eat here everyday I think I would. My favorite was the side of potatoes. I don't know what you guys did to those potatoes but they are yummy af! Would definitely recommend to a friend. When I come back in the future, I will definitely visit here again. I wish you guys are closer to me. read more

This place is DELICIOUS! They have such a variety of options for food and drinks. They have such a cute ambiance in here and they even have straws made from avocado seeds. They serve breakfast and lunch here. I ordered the panini and the cinnamon French toast and they were so good and how they plate the food is so artsy! Definitely recommend when visiting playa Del Carmen as a vegan read more

Nice vegan place in playa! We were visiting playa for a day and had lunch here. The service was great, they were all so nice and helpful. There is wifi and they follow Covid safety procedures. I had the bagelwich and it was super delicious and filling. I couldn't even finish it because it also came with a side of potatoes. Their "chorizo" on it seemed so real and the dish was just overall really full of flavor. My friend got the chilaquiles which was also good and the potions were big! We also ordered the indigo smoothie and some coffee. Everything was reasonably priced, I was satisfied with my experience here and would definitely recommend it to others! read more

Five stars. It's great because it's vegan but it doesn't taste like vegan food. I've gotten the panini and am pretty much addicted to their bagelwich (vegan chorizo and egg). It's a good place to sit and work or people watch. The staff is incredibly nice and attentive. They make your coffee just the way you like it. I think I could probably live here if they'd let me. I pretty much eat here almost every day. read more

As things slowly start to open back up in Playa Del Carmen decided to try some more vegan friendly options & came across The Pitted Date. Like most restaurants they have restricted sitting areas to maintain social distancing. Even better they offer a decent amount of outdoor seating. TPD offers menus in both English & Spanish & the staff is bilingual. They are one of the restaurants here that do accept cards. Unfortunately on my two stops here they didn't have any jackfruit :( but do not let they deter you as they offer many other options. On my first stop I ordered the Beyond Burger with Sweet Potato Fries (came out like chips). The burger was amazing, you could barely tell it wasn't meat & it was cooked & seasoned to perfection. The Sweet Potato Fries weren't that great. I could barely taste anything sweet about it. I am not sure the ketchup used but it was not Heinz but still pretty good. On my second stop here I ordered the Roasted Tomato soup with Grilled Cheese. The soup was very rich in flavor but I would have been fine with just a small size. The grilled cheese tho...it did not stand a chance. A great stop here in PDC. read more

So this place has been my favorite every time I visit playa! I also used to live there (up until 2017) and frequented all the time. I guess somewhere in between 2017 and 2022 they closed then reopened and changed the whole menu which is a little sad because everything on the previous menu was amazing. Now I don't really see many things that sound appealing. I did however love the chorizo sandwich and the iced hibiscus latte this time around. I would definitely go back and recommend this to vegans and non-vegans! I went 3 out of the 6 days I was in playa read more

Went to breakfast here today and the food was the best I have had in playa. I cannot eat eggs, so finding a vegan breakfast with an egg substitute was hard because a lot of places with vegan options were really vegetarian and actually included eggs on their breakfast menus. I had the avocado toast with an added egg on it and it was phenomenal. The people I was with can eat eggs and don't prefer plant based, but could not stop talking about how fantastic the food was. One had a burrito and the other had the savory crepe. One of the workers even told me where I could by the egg substitute to make my own breakfasts while visiting! A little bit of a wait for the food, but absolutely worth it. read more

The Pitted Date - Avocado toast with an added "egg". - Vegan Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

My friend in Texas told me this is her favorite vegan restaurant in the world, so naturally I had to try it...twice lol. The first time I got the gluten free version of the bagelwich, which was delicious! The "egg" and peppers and sauce were all perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the potatoes and (what I assume was) homemade ketchup were a perfect compliment (potatoes weren't overly salty and the ketchup wasn't overly sweet). I was fairly ravenous, so I followed this up with a gluten free grilled cheeze (which was good) and a slice of the gluten free chocolate cake (decadently rich, which I was in the mood for). The next morning I went back and got a soy mocha (quite tasty), the Blissed Out Blue smoothie with protein powder (genuinely phenomenal), and the Waffles á la Choco Monkey. The waffles were a bit dense, but this is my first time having gluten free waffles, so I'm not sure how they compare to other comparable dishes. The flavor was solid, and I would get them again, although I would probably try the crepes first if I came back. The service was excellent, as the staff was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. I debated between 4 and 5 stars, but since I would honestly recommend this place to any friends, vegan or not, I decided on 5 stars. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! read more

Yooooo while you're in PDC soaking up the hot sun rays and margaritas, The Pitted Date is the SPOT to go to! Ample outdoor seating and such amazingggggggg food. I thoroughly enjoyed every single item I had here. Especially the sandwich with bechamel sauce, v-cheese and tasty plant-based ingredients seasoned to perfection and topped with some kind of light-crispy thin wafer that added a wonderful texture. If I could eat here every day I easily would. Literally everything here is fantastic, right down to the fresh smoothies and milkshakes (that aren't overly surgary like American shakes). Only thing I wish they had is booze, because who doesn't love a good margarita while in Mexico? read more

We found this gem on Happy Cow and visited two times while in Playa. Being vegan, and one of us gluten free, is challenging while traveling so we almost always cook at our accommodations. But after finding TPD it's safe to say that will change the next time we are here! My cappuccino and my daughter's matcha latte were lovely and the smoothies are perfection (even the chakra names!) the Yellow one was to die for! I had huevos rancheros which was both delicious and beautiful and the Caesar salad. Both amazing. On our second visit we had the Indigo And Blue smoothies (YUM!) the breakfast burrito and the spinach omelette. There really wasn't one bad thing about this place. Seriously yummy and the presentation is just beautiful. If you have the chance, EAT HERE, pronto! read more

The plfood is okay, the service was terrible. I ordered a iced latte with almond milk, As I began to drink it the later became sour and the bottom began to separate. Who I assume is the owner came by and asked about the latte and I explained that it was sour and he noted that it was likely that the almond milk got too hot during the preparation and began to separate. Understandable, however, I saw him speaking to the baristas but they made no attempt the fix the latte or take it off the bill. It's one thing to serve a beverage that is inedible, it's another to acknowledge it and not offer a remake or take it off the bill. read more

Not sure why this place has so many positive reviews... I've been to both locations now. Food is always mediocre. This location, however, wins laziest, worst, slowest service in Playa (that's super bad, btw...service is slow everywhere in town ). Also annoying that their menu literally says breakfast all day long, but they say they can't do any of the breakfast options later in the day. Hate to drop a lower star rating for a vegan place, but there are a ton of other great vegan places with amazing staff to visit in town. I'd try them instead (Ta'Consciente anyone?). read more

I give pitted date. 2 stars because it's vegan, however it is very expensive, and the portions are tiny. I ordered tacos, a Caesar salad, and soup. The tacos didn't have much inside of them, they were about $7.00 dollars for 3 of them. Lots of tortilla dough, not much filling, no salsa unless u ask. The salad came in a bowl that was half full. Salad is so cheap, and it isn't even organic, so why not fill the bowl, for 7.00....salad not worth it. The soup was 5.00 for a small, and outrageously expensive price, for a tiny bowl. The food is okay, nothing innovative. Won't be back until portions are larger. read more

We went back the day after and she was there again, but nicer. The food was great so we didn't complain, and we went back after that. read more

Went to all of them, and this is THE BEST vegan spot in Playa del Carmen, hands down. The best vegan meal I've had in my life, and it was a breakfast bagel.

We had a late lunch on the patio and it hit the spot like nothing we'd had all week.
