This is my new favorite San Diego restaurant! It has delicious, organic, healthy, vegan food and such a beautiful atmosphere! I love the outdoor seating as well as the charming interior design. They have an excellent lunch special that comes with a little bit of everything. Great place to go on a date or just get food to go or dine alone. Lots of parking, easy to find, and a great location!

I had the buffet, & it was superb! I love the bird salt & pepper shakers on the tables too, as well as the lovely patio dining area, & let’s not forget Martin, who was a kind & gracious host! Thank you, Martin! I will be back soon!

Love it! My new favorite spot! Such a variety including some options with locally sourced eggs and cheese.
Super food, well served ,in a very pleasant atmosphere 👍😎
Wow! What a find! Great food, atmosphere and friendly service. A huge selection of vegan food, this 100 percent plant-based eatery is surely one for your address book. We had their coconut bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato on toasted sourdough which came with their tomato bisque soup. Delightful! I added the kombucha - orange and passion fruit beverage to which an alcohol of choice can be added. Large vegan wine selection, too. While street parking can be challenging on weekends, it's worth the effort. This place has my highest recommendation!
It's a 3.5 stars overall. We ordered a salad and sandwich/soup combo. While tasty, I would not able to say that the food was amazing or exceptional. The outdoor patio is cool and the corridor to the restaurant makes this a quiet and calm place to eat. The food quality is good. Value for money = 3
Martin and Green Door Cafe have a special place in my heart!
The entire experience is lovely at this restaurant. They have creative menu items, a cozy indoor space and a charming courtyard. I highly recommend their desserts, pasta dish, and afternoon tea — you really can’t go wrong with the offering of vegan delights here!
They also have live music on Sunday afternoons.
It was really cute and the food was pretty good. We only went for happy hour and had some drinks and tapas. Place was quiet but the patio is super nice with shade and lots of plants. The service was wonderful and we played pool and darts inside which was fun.
It was cool for a first time visit. I was the only customer there at 7pm on a Saturday which was odd. Especially for this area. The food was good. I had the Bombay Burger on the pancake crust(forgot the name of it)and liked it. The cheesecake was excellent! I'll come back soon and try something else out. Thanks for the good experience. Thanks for being vegan😁
We had the Pesto Panini and the Full Tank sandwich. Both plates had a cup of Tomato Basil soup with them. Such wonderful and fresh amazing food with fabulous service. Green Door is a very special little cafe with great ambiance. Thank you Martin.
Free wifi, comfy outdoor seating for studying / coffee date. Very pricey, price doesn’t match taste of food. Food is good , they’re French toast is very yummy. I got the lasagne (22$) not worth it for the price. They could bring down prices. Overall the service is great !
Best vegan food! Yum 10/10 recommend everything is so delicious I love the salads that come with most entrees too! Soooo good I cannot recommend this place enough. Also lovely people working here, great service, great food, great location. We were in La Jolla on vacation and came here to eat almost everyday and the food was amazing every time.
Super underrated vegan restaurant with AMAZING food. I was originally going to get some food from Trilogy, right nextdoor, but happened to read the menu out front on my way there an decided to try Green Door instead. Best decision ever!
I got the Bombay bomb burger with a side caesar salad. Hands down the best vegan burger I've had and the home fries are to die for, they are covered with herby goodness! The caesar was fresh, perfectly dressed, and had such a great creamy flavor. To end it all, I got the ultimate carrot cake for dessert, it was moist and flavorful but not too heavy. My partner and I split everything and it came out to a little less than $40 after tip.
It was totally empty when I ate there (~3:30 on a Wednesday) which made me kind of sad because it was the best food. And such a cute little court yard plus and indoor space to in, you order at the counter and get to choose where you sit. I will definitely be back the next time I'm hankering for a nice vegan meal out, I have to try the lasagna!!
Do yourself a big favor. Eat here ASAP.
Martin is a great chef, genius, vegan and GF local produce and absolutely stunning food NOT to mention he is totally environmentally friendly. Prices are amazing for the quality and care that goes into his food.
The place is cute and has natural lights and plants around.
This is a one of a kind restaurant experience.
