La Jenelle Natural Cafe

Update (June '24): been here a few times, 100% recommend! Super friendly service and some of the best vegan food I've had, made with lots of wholesome and homemade ingredients 🌱

The burger was really delicious, and I'm looking forward to trying other items next chance I get 🙏🏻

🍃🌱Guilt free, delicious Vegan & Organic Cafe🍃🌱
The burrito was very well balanced with it's flavor. A hint of chili pepper, and packed with spices. It was extremely refreshing. I only wish there was a chili sauce to go with it. Regardless, still delicious and fresh.

Craig and Xochitl got themselves a nice little cafe. Stop by for some flavorful vegan, and organic food.

Food so good we went back about 4 times! Absolutely get the bagel (North Jetty Baguette) and the Wet Burrito if you go - phenomenal. And the people in there are wonderful too.

Lovely little quiet plant based restaurant with pretty outdoor seating. Had a lovely salad and kombucha. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop back

Really good food and great service! I have Ciliac disease and was able to eat gluten-free safely. My husband is a meat eater and he really enjoyed the vegan burrito also. The gluten-free muffins were soooooo good!

Great vegan real food! Definitely give these guys a try if you're in the area! :)

Stumbled on this place, we’re not vegetarian but we are gluten free. Got the Nachos and split them. Those things were ridiculously good, staff was awesome. We’ll be back again!

Adore this little hidden gem by Silver Strand beach. Their whole menu is plant based and they offer a majority of gluten free options. One of my favorite spots and I recommend it to everyone. They make their own mylk in house and it pairs so perfectly well with their coffee that it’s sweet enough to not need a sweetener. Craig and Xotchil thank you so much for the wonderful food and conversations!

Healthy, perfectly seasoned and really delicious lunch here (anacapa salad, and their burrito). Owners seem like great people too who make everything with a lot of care. Highly recommended.

Stopped by to pick up a take-out order on our way up to Santa Barbara. Looking for a spot with vegan/plant-based options and was pleasantly pleased to find this place. Probably one of the best vegan Caesar salads I've ever had, perfectly crisp, great blend of greens, dressing is great, love the toppings, especially the crispy chickpeas. The nachos were perfect, great sauce, wonderfully balanced. What a gem of a place. Highly recommend.

La Jenelle is amazing!! I loved the Mexicali Bowl, the flavors and textures were absolutely perfect. I could eat it every day. More than that, Sochi went absolutely above and beyond to take care of me and my partner, who has a nut allergy. We were happy to just get something for me and go elsewhere to pick up his lunch (he’s an omnivore), but Sochi made him a special dish and went over each ingredient to make sure he felt confident that nothing had cross-contamination from the cashew products they have in their kitchen. We really felt the love!

We tried the nachos and the pulled 'pork' sandwich. The flavor is rich and well balanced. Would come back.

Was looking forward to going here for the first time as someone who’s vegan/plant-based. Super impressed, and it met every expectation. Everyone in my party was satisfied and happy with their meals, incredibly favorable, and the staff was super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Thank you so much for an awesome meal, adding this to my list of go-tos! (Going to remember to add photos the next time, too. Was too excited to eat it last time.)

excellent “home made” vegan food. delicious & healthy. so happy this gem is in our area — we love the jackfruit ‘pulled pork’ sandwich and can’t get enough of the nachos!! YUM!

I am not vegan, vegetarian or gluten free - you don't have to be to love this place. I just wanted to give it a go so had their soup of the day - cauliflower - one of the best soups I have ever had. Can't wait to go back next time we are in town. And just an FYI, this is my first online review of anything. The soup was so good I just felt compelled!

Wow, such an amazing restaurant. Not only the best vegan food I’ve ever had, but just some of the best food in general. Everything we’ve ordered and tried has been incredible. Recently we got the burger and pulled ‘porc’ sandwich, both were amazing.

Wow. I was really impressed! The food was amazing. I got the burger. The customer service was spectacular. The owner gave us a sample of the nacho cheese and it was so cheesy. I can’t wait to try more items on the menu.

Refreshing, guilt free. I’m visiting from Phoenix, and my brother and I ate most of our meals here this week. I’m not vegan or gluten free, but everything is so delicious and well curated by hand it doesn’t make a difference. Absolutely recommend to anyone. Thank you for the delightful experience!

I had personally never eaten vegetarian and neither had my family member that lives here but we gave it a whirl and it was fabulous. This will be a regular place for us. The owners are wonderful it is a very clean establishment and the food is worth every cent!!! Enjoy!

Initially, I had reservations about this new spot. Then I had the La Jennelle Burger and it was sublime. The best black bean burger I have ever had. I actually didn't eat it until hours later and it was STILL scrumptious. I will be back!!!
