What People Are Saying About The Plant Cafe Organic

If there is a 'hood outside the Mission suitable for an all-organic, mostly vegetarian, spirulina-selling cafe to be successful, it's among the Marina's high concentration of beautiful people and pilates studios. A sunny sidewalk patio makes a primo destination for stroller-pushing young moms in yoga pants and post-jog dog walkers, but the interior is filled with a motley crew of families, young couples and health-conscious singletons. Eat-in diners can choose from protein-packed smoothies, myriad veggie burgers, rice bowls and vegan baked goods; for people on the go (or on the way to Lamaze…

best place for fresh organic food
by pogstar
I kept hearing about this place but it's in the Marina so it took awhile for me to get there. Now I wish there was one closer to me because I have no choice but to travel there repeatedly. It has a modern yet casual atmosphere--good place to sit down and enjoy eating great food (sort of a garden meets a Swedish wood sauna). If you like fresh local food as an ingredient in almost every item on the menu, you need to check this place out. They offer beautiful salads and allow you to have your own created with local organic farm produce. If you don't mind paying a bit, they have delicious organic juices made for you as you wait (this can take awhile so don't go there in peak hours if you want a quick juice to go). The appetizers and entrees range from Californian to Asian in style. If you want a hamburger don't go. They only offer free range organic chicken, shrimp and wild sustainable fish - the fresh halibut with seasonal vegetables and grains is amazing. If you care about where what you eat comes from, like the idea of fresh seasonal ingredients and don't want to spend a tonne, this is your place. Oh, and they also have scrumptious home made desserts and a good selection of local organic wines and beer. I give lettus 5 stars for being the best new discovery I've made in years!
- Pros: great prices and access to fresh local organic food, delicious and diverse menu, sustainable
- Cons: crowded, parking, wait

Could almost go vegan if everything tasted like this!

This place is amazing and worth every penny! I can't recommend the California Veggy Burger enough. I go during the week because the weekends can have LONG lines out the door.

Lettus deliciousness
by kckraft
If you are looking for a yummy and healthy place for a meal head to Lettus. The restaurant hosts a large selection of food all made with organic ingredients. The restaurant itself is a gorgeous and very organic space with wood pannels along the walls and an open floorplan. I would bet anything on the menu will leave you fully satisfied so order as you please. If you're in a rush the long line often goes to the door, but if you have the time its worth the wait!
