Linden Organic

I stopped by Linden Organic because they are an all organic, vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free cafe and I've wanted to check them out for awhile now. There are a couple tables inside (2) so it is small but it's more of a grab and go, which is what I intended on doing anyways. They have a lot of good stuff - including coffee (but I already had mine this morning) so I opted for the:

Mindful Matcha Smoothie
Chocolate donut
Snickers bar

Tasty stuff and friendly.

5 stars for being vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. But sadly, the rest didn’t live up. Very pretty, photogenic food, but we were super bummed with the rest.

My açaí bowl was large and beautiful, but had chunks of ice in it and tasted watered down. The crunchy wafers were very hard, and i just couldn’t figure out how to approach eating it. Had to eat the toppings separately and still a bunch landed in my lap. Based on the flavor and texture, I’m guessing the protein powder I ordered didn’t get added. All in all, $18.50 for this was not worth it.

The spring roll was 90% lettuce. Very watery dressing, so hard to use as a dip. Hard rice paper, probably from sitting in the cooler a while.

Unable to get the Moroccan Salad since most everything is premade and available in the cooler, so can’t be modified.

The tuna sandwich was beautiful but incredibly messy and hard to eat with very thin bread that didn’t hold together. Also mostly lettuce. So not filling. Didn’t have zucchini, and asked for extra “tuna” instead but doesn’t look like that happened.

Avocado toast was pretty and piled with avo. Again very thin bread made it hard to eat. But this was probably the one item that was more substantial (no lettuce or ice fillers.) That said, it still wasn’t a meal, so at $16 was a bit lacking.

I also found it weird that ingredients weren’t listed on things. None of the packaged foods, or on baked goods in the display case. Chose not to get any since asking questions for every item felt like a lot.

Tiny indoor space with limited seating. No outdoor seats.

Sadly, I won’t be back. Not worth the value:cost:flavor ratios. But, I won’t ever give less than 5 stars to a vegan place, in support of offering plant based foods! However, I think non-vegans would be very disappointed here and would leave hungry.

The waffles were good! They were really filling! And they actually tasted good! They didn’t hurt my stomach after I ate them, which is really saying something because I know it’s really hard to make vegan waffles! And I was surprised that it came with so much extra fruit! It was $16, but I think it was well worth it! Also, I decided to try their vegan donuts! To be honest, they don’t taste that good. But I know it’s really, really hard to make vegan donuts! Actually, you can barely find any places that make vegan donuts because they’re so difficult to make! I only tasted one other vegan donut from a different restaurant, and it tasted like they put heavy sugar inside of the donuts, which was extremely unhealthy. This one has a little bit of sugar… You can kind of taste it, but it’s not extreme! But, it just doesn’t really taste that good to me. But again, you know, it’s extremely hard to make vegan donuts, at least from what I’m seeing around! Which is why places don’t make vegan donuts! But nevertheless, the main thing was the waffles! The waffles tasted good! The waffles tasted really good! I wish this place was closer to my house because I would go here all the time when I run out of food to eat! But this place is 50 minutes away from my house, so I’m only going to come here a few other times. But yeah, this place is really good! At least their waffles are!

P.S. The waffles are $16 & the donuts are $6 each! But again! The waffles are really what I came for! They are really good and filling!

Loved the Mint chip smoothie! I admit I'm a mint flavor junkie, so it was totally worth it; the perfectly balanced amount of mint and cacao nibs, and almond milk made this shake nutrient dense. Other smoothies we tried were Blueberry and AWAKE! Definitely a spot I'd revisit for vegan gluten free/dairy free treats as well. The protein cookie dough ball and chocolate chip cookie are wonderful and filling treats with healthy proteins and nutrients.

This was my first time here! I was so excited to find a restaurant that is organic and so delicious.Definitely will be coming back!

If you’re in the Gilbert area and looking for a delicious smoothie or refreshing juice, this is the spot! We stopped there multiple times during a trip and loved their fresh juices, smoothies, and snacks.

Popped in here due to an event close-by, and it's the cutest place ever! Amazing presentation also, and the flavor of the Smoothies and treats (I tried both!) was *SO* amazing!

This is our first visit and I am very impressed!! The associates are very kind and are accommodating. The smoothies are amazingly delicious 😋. We treated ourselves to the Protein Cookie Dough and the Turtle Bar. Also very delicious. Thank you!!

Really great bowls and love the ginger turmeric latte! A little too pricey for us to go ALL the time like we’d want to ($14-16+ per bowl) but really great nonetheless... My fave is the PB&J bowl! Yum!

Was in town for the week and searched for a plant based eatery near me. Cute shop with great fresh options, baked goods and great customer service. Owner recommended the Macca smoothie which was super tasty and also had the avocado toast. Will definitely be stopping by again 😊

I daydream about these smoothies constantly and I'm always wondering in my head when I can make it back here. The fruit always tastes so ripe and flavorful and the smoothies are always so beautiful! My husband loved the fresh juices. I had the coconut pudding for the first time the other day and now I'll dream about that too. So delicious!

Love, love, love this place!! Hidden gem in Gilbert that I discovered and beyond thrilled. They did an excellent job with a cake order. Super nice folks there! The mint chip smoothie bowl is my new favorite.

My boyfriend and I love this vegan place! We ordered a maca smoothie bowl with a protein cookie dough ball on top, a raw snickers bar, chocolate cheesecake, and a turtle bar and it was all soo delicious and it’s even better that it’s plant based and organic! My boyfriend isn’t vegan but he absolutely loved the treats we got from here. I am vegan and I have a huge sweet tooth so if you’re like me this place is the place to go to satisfy your cravings! They have a huge variety of healthy treats as well as other food items and juices. We drove 35 minutes to come here and I already plan to come back again next week!! Please go support this awesome business!! 💚🌱

Super cute shop that is accommodating, friendly, attentive, and the raw vegan options are good for anyone wanting to incorporate comfort food that happens to be healthy. My go to’s: cinnamon roll, donut, kale chips. Seasonal items: blueberry tart, coconut bliss. I drive all the way from Uptown for their treats

They're a small place in Gilbert. Great selection of juices to select from. They also have other dessert items. This is a jewel of a place to visit. Plant based, vegan food.

Love this place. I just wish it was a little more affordable. It’s a splurge, but a splurge I can feel good about. Everything they make tastes amazing. Literally.

Linden Organic is my go-to place to eat when I want something healthy, fresh, and delicious. I have tried so many different items and I have never had something that I didn't love. The fact that everything is vegan makes it so easy to order for people with specific dietary needs which can be really difficult with some restaurants. I usually do delivery and everything arrives quickly and even looks beautiful!! Love this place so much!!!

I wish I had time to take photos of my food. I ordered the Waffle and it was quite delicious. It’s hard to find gluten-free options that don’t taste like cardboard. I will say the maple syrup and coconut cream that is served with the dish helps marry the flavors together. I’m also a big fan of the fresh organic fruit, cacao nibs and fresh mint that’s served with the waffle. I didn’t see a ton of people waiting to order so I immediately assumed the garnishes wouldn’t be as fresh but I was dead wrong. I will definitely be back and I absolutely recommend!

Hands down the best vegan/raw vegan food in town! Taste was incredible, huge portions, fresh, filling, friendly service, and a clean environment. The heirloom tomato toast was to die for. And the smoothie bowl was the best I've had. Definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Amazing!!!! Had the "tuna" sandwich and it was soooo good. I came back another day and had the heirloom tomato toast, which was devine. It came with two lemon slices so I sprinkled some juice on it and the world stopped turning for a blissful moment as I transcended time and space. It's the closest thing I've had to a bagel with lox since shifting to veganism.

Can't wait to come back to try their desserts and smoothies. Everything is so beautifully presented and prepared. My toast even had edible flowers on it. 🥰 Feels so gourmet! What an incredible hidden gem.
