Higher Taste, Plant-Based - Vegan restaurant in Long Beach - 340 1/2 E 4th St, USA

I came here a few years ago and it was good, and I just went back and it was even better than I remember. Their homemade vegan burger patty is delicious, the staff was super nice, and the vibe is welcoming. Looking forward to coming back soon!

I absolutely love this vegan cafe! The food is fantastic (especially the avocado jalapeño cheeseburger), but more than that, their cookies are SO GOOD. I’ve literally never had such good cookies, what to speak of vegan cookies. They also seem to have recently updated the ambiance inside and it’s really welcoming and peaceful.

The orange chicken burger and the chicken tenders were the BEST vegan chicken I have ever tasted!!! Atmosphere was nice, although a little too warm. Staff was friendly and helpful. All around great vegan restaurant!

This place is great! It was really warm inside, they should add a fan or two to the floor. My burger and salad were awesome, and the ginger mint lemonade was fantastic. I scarfed down the food fast but enjoyed every bite. I have the chipotle ahimsa burger, I highly recommend it. The dressing for the salad was awesome too! Next time I go I will try the desserts. The store is split in two, a dessert side and savory food side. The décor is great with love plants abundant. The staff is super nice and helpful. The restroom was clean, the store was clean and organic feeling. I’d definitely give this place a try if you were on the fence. I went back recently and they've added some tasty things to the menu. Nashville Hot sandwich is 10/10!

Loved their food. We ordered Avocado Jalapeno Cheeseburger with split pea soup, Orange Chik'n Burger with French Fries and chocolate shake. The Avocado Jalapeno Cheeseburger was just yummy, made with their freshly made house-patty. Service was good. Polite and friendly. No complaints. Beautiful ambience with lots of indoor plants. It was very refreshing. However, they don’t have recycling bins and they could replace plastics with compostable/biodegradable plastics or paper products. We have just one planet, and it is on the verge of dying. Wish more people were mindful about the waste pollution.

Came here to try a new place and liked it! The food was good and it didn’t feel very heavy which I really enjoyed, the house-made patty was delicious and the tahini ginger dressing that comes with the side salad was very lovely! I will definitely come here again but my only thing to say is that more friendly staff interaction would make the experience much more enjoyable!!

I visited Ahimsa for an early dinner. I have passed it a few times but this was my first visit. When I walked in it had a very relaxed atmosphere, more like a café than restaurant. There were a few guests but no one to welcome me or anyone at the desk to take an order. When the server arrived she was friendly and helpful, I asked for recommendations and she was extremely engaging. On recommendation, I ordered the Spicy Ranch Chick'n Burger with sweet potato fries. I was told the order would take 20 minutes. I took a seat and waited. The tables were all covered in crumbs, the floors needed sweeping and there was a filthy rag on the floor under the table. It took 35 minutes for my food to arrive with no explanation. The food was well presented and I was looking forward to it. When I did take a bite, it was luke warm at best and the fries were cold. This was disappointing given how long I had waited. However, the burger had a good texture and it was well filled with cabbage and Jalapeños. The burger was lacking heat given that it was meant to spicy and the louisiana hot sauce was lacking flavour. The sweet potato fries were well seasoned and well cooked but again were cold. Overall I am disappointed although it wouldn't take much to turn this from 3 to 5 stars. Thank you.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If you know what the phrase "whole foods plant-based" means and/or you just want to find a place that serves actual-food-with-nutrients (and not a vegan-chemicals version of your favorite junk/comfort food), then HTPB is your spot, hands down! The interior space is now even more beautiful than ever (filled with light n plants!), the staff is as rock solid, polite and helpful as ever, and it's always easy to park nearby. I am literally never disappointed when I eat here, pretty sure won't be either! Pro-Tip: the peanut butter cookie is a work of culinary art... treat y'self, eh?
