Unique Experiences - Edit
From the outside, I’d be shocked if you told me this restaurant is fully vegan. It certainly has its own unique style and atmosphere that cannot be replicated, so it’s truly a joy that the menu is entirely vegan. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a large bar, just like you’d expect from a high quality restaurant. This is a place you could take your non vegan friends to and they wouldn’t even realize they’re eating vegan food.

Always amazing. - Edit
It doesn't matter what time of year or when I come to this restaurant. The food is always impeccable. The service is always impeccable. I love the restaurants atmosphere. The decorum the choices of food and the wonderful bartenders that make your morning great. I had my birthday breakfast here and every time I'm in San Diego I always have breakfast or lunch or some tidbit of food from this restaurant. It's quite amazing. I love it. The food is good and there's nothing that I've ever experienced that wouldn't make me want to come back except that my plate got empty and I wanted more cuz it was just so tasty. But thank you guys for having a great experience

Expensive and disappointing - Edit
Was excited to finally have dinner here. Easy parking, nice atmosphere. Our table for two was tiny, and we were seated nearly shoulder to shoulder with tables on either side (zero conversational privacy). The menu was short and sweet, and pretty spendy. The food ranged from pretty good (side of homemade potato chips) to bad (huckleberry white tea that tasted like raisin water. The jackfruit made a nice pulled bbq, but the sauce was unremarkable and it was served on hard, dry toast that hurt to eat. Our table was so small that our plates were hanging off the edges. Won’t be going back.

Great Find - Edit
We went here for dinner and everything was great. Drinks were great, appetizer was great and our meals were great. Very cool atmosphere and the music was at a good volume where we could still have a conversation.

Fun and cool concept, very good food! - Edit
Love this place and look forward to going back when we are in town. San Diego has so much excellent vegan food. This was really really good, and our mocktails were great. Staff was so nice.

Nice place with a cool vibe and good cocktails. - Edit
The starters were fantastic- especially the seitan skewers. Our mains were a bit hit and miss. I didn’t enjoy my mushroom steaks as the flavours were a bit intense and the veggies not as fresh as I would have expected for the price. My companions really enjoyed their mains though- the gardein and the jackfruit.

Delivery didn’t disappoint - Edit
I have been wanting to try Kindred for years and while in SD this trip I finally just ordered delivery (my friend didn’t want to go). I ordered the BFS. All the reviews said the potatoes were amazing and I concur! I also really liked the biscuit sandwich - super tasty even though it wasn’t fresh out of the kitchen. Wish I could have tried even more but hopefully next time!

Brunch was everything to me - Edit
Even if you aren’t an elder emo or metal head, this place is the truth!
Read moreThe brunch cannot be skipped, under any circumstances. The potatoes with pimento cheese absolutely knocked our socks off. The butterscotch waffle was wonderful.
The benny was also fantastic. Most memorable for me though was the non alcoholic charcoal pineapple drink, lord - so good!
The gluten free options weren’t obvious or denoted so I needed to ask.
Pros: Vast menu, Amazing atmosphere
Cons: Gf options not denoted

Decent overall. - Edit
Had higher hopes given the reviews we read, but food was a little bland/dry and lacking a of flavor. Not a bad experience, but probably wouldn’t return if visiting SD again.

One of my favourite vegan spots ever! - Edit
I was on vacation and had been recommended to visit here. There were so many spots to hit on my list I didn’t expect to go anywhere twice… but I loved it so much I came back on my last night in San Diego! On the first visit I had the Patty Melt which just blew my expectations away & the s’mores sliders for dessert. I expected these to be warm but they came cold and actually really enjoyed them too! On my second visit I tried the Skewers which were great for sharing & the Egg Roll Burger which I can honestly say was one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. The entire vibe of the place is so cool. I can’t wait to visit again and again and again!
