Y'Not Organic

The deliciousness is very consistent, the service is excellent, but the food? Out of this world delectable!!!

This was a healthy vegan restaurant, I had the warm oatmeal and it was awesome. Their ingredients are organic and locally grown.

Excellent vegan food! We got the tacos and BLTA, both were delicious. It’s a good amount of food served with each meal too. I will definitely be back for more!

Awesome shop...try it!! I had the lentil soup and Mexi Bowl...delicious!!! ALL VEGAN

Had an amazing breakfast. Excellent service and clean, healthy, delicious food. Ordered the stuffed avocado, delicious

I love this place. The food is vegan and consciously prepared. Plenty of variety and great deserts. My wife usually gets the avocado toast and whatever thesoup of the day is. I had the BLaTA on sour dough... both excellent. And the chef is a great guy who comes out to check in... a great guy too!

Finally, another place with healthy options! Amazing flavors. So good!

Food was really good. I had a bowl and my wife had the "blt" and we also ordered vanilla cream smoothie. All of it was good and freshly made. The "blt" tasted more like an egg salad sandwich? But it was really good, either way! And the bowl was delicious. It was exactly what I was looking for "nutritious and delicious" I'd say a 4.5 overall, but did 5 stars cuz it won't let u do half stars.

The food is absolutely delicious, several vegan options to eat and drink. Portion sizes are apt. I hope they grow further and they can improve the ambience. For the size of crew they are working with you might have to be patient but the food is worth the wait. 👍👌

The hotel I was staying add had very bad vegan options so searched the area and found Y Not. This is possibly the best vegan restaurant that I have ever been to. Firstly, it was easy to find and park. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The choice of food is perfect with a wide range. Everything is organic and the majority is vegan. They also cater for those who are gluten free. There was so much I wanted to try but I have to comment on the cashew bread putting. You have to try it. It is a 5 hour drive away from where I live but I will choose to take short trips up there because of Y Not. If you are vegan.....you have to try it.

Incredible vegan and gluten free options!! Came here tonight while visiting town & was so blown away we’re going to try to come right back tomorrow. I got the tacos (AMAZING), a smoothie, and the cheesecake. All were so good! Staff was nice and service was so fast.

Vegan cafe in a strip mall location. Notable in that they are one of few vegan food options in Pismo Beach so it's important to support this yummy place! The smoothies and bowls are amazing for breakfast - giving you much better energy for the day ahead than the greasy diner food down by the pier. Also try the chocolate chip cookies made without refined sugar. They are less sweet but somehow more delicious than what you're used to!

Super delicious not over powering taste.

Great organic real food and we loved everything we had including what’s not pictured turmeric latte and vanilla cream smoothie. Highly recommended!

This food is so tasty! My hubby is plant based so I go to a lot of these vegan places and this one is amazing! I got the garden salad and the dressing is magical! My hubby got the burger, I also got a smoothie. Very yummy! What a treat!!!

Love this place! The food, smoothies, and smoothie bowls are the best. Their lentil soups are outstanding! Their portions are perfect, it's really good and filling. I love that I can order a smoothie that is so yummy and dairy and gluten-free.

First time here. So many good choices to choose from. Opted for the shitake pesto on Ezekiel bread and bulgar as a side. Also ordered the CA BLTA with fennel and a beauty tea. Everything was so good. We finished our plates clean! Clean restaurant. Knowledgeable staff. Plenty of free parking. Will definitely be back for some acai bowls

This place is insanely delicious. Also the restaurant building itself is so beautiful. The girl who took my order was very knowledgeable of the ingredients in the food. Try this place out you will not be disappointed!!!! I ordered the burger, my boyfriend ordered the mexi bowl, he hella enjoyed the bowl & he’s not even vegan !

Great Vegan restaurant not far from Pismo beach. Unexpectedly great meal! I still need the name of the company that makes that sourdough bread that they serve.

I ordered the black bean burger for takeout and was impressed by the quick service.. it was ready in just 5 minutes. Alongside the roasted potatoes made a delightful pairing. But the real star of the meal was their spicy salsa. Its must try for anyone who loves a bit of heat.. really took the meal to the next level for me. The price is a bit steep at $17 for the burger but the flavors justify it. Definitely planning a return visit!

I tried Y'not Juice Bar for the first time today, because of a promotional deal I purchased through Local Flavor. I had never heard of the place before, but when I saw that it emphasized healthy vegan food I wanted to give it a try. My expectations were exceeded! The place is very clean and nicely decorated like a lounge. There's quite a variety of seating options to suit your mood & preference: lounge chairs, counter seating, and regular table and chairs. I ordered the burger which is bean based. It came with a side salad, and I chose the snap pea salad with sesame and ginger dressing. When the food arrived I was impressed at the presentation. I was also surprised that the burger was so beet red. I don't really like beets, but I was very pleasantly surprised there was *no* detectable beet flavor. In fact, the vegan burger was absolutely delicious! It included lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, avocado, all served within a sesame seed bun. For dessert I tried the cheesecake and the chocolate torte, which was too much for one person, but I had to use up my $20 certificate and I just brought home leftovers. The cheesecake was based on their house made cashew cheese and topped with fresh puréed blackberries and a blackberry. The chocolate torte was pretty much like the cheesecake, except for the addition of chocolate. Both were excellent desserts, but I think I liked the simplicity of the cheesecake a little better. By all means get the chocolate if you are in the mood for chocolate and something a little richer! Everything, including the sides and dessert tasted very flavorful & fresh. I will definitely be coming back here a lot!

The shakes are amazing. I added banana to their strawberry smoothie and it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The place is pretty much spotless probably one of the cleanest places I've seen in a long time.

So glad we found this place for breakfast and definitely want to try their lunch options! Great food & prices especially for organic. The cashew berry toast on sourdough was delicious! A must to visit in Pismo Beach.

Food was fresh and delicious. I had the Mexican rice bowl I do wish the ratio of rice to veggies was better it was a TON of rice but it still tasted great! Had the brownie bites for dessert also very tasty. Service was welcoming and fast food delivery. Definitely give this little vegan spot a try!

Delicious blueberry acai bowl!! Will definitely be coming back to try some of the other foods! Great dine in experience.

Everything is good here, but especially are the desserts and the smoothies. The Green smoothie is my favorite. They also apparently sell some high quality local wines (the self is in the back). Keep in mind that their cashew milk is not sweet at all, so if you are used to oatmilk or almond milk - ask for some sweetener with your latte.

My husband and I absolutely love this place! The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. Omar, in particular, goes above and beyond — he’s incredibly helpful with recommendations and always makes sure everything is perfect. YNot has truly earned our trust and has become a go-to staple for us!

The cheesecake was very good but I didn't expect it to be so small. I put my fork in for scale. About a third of the size of a regular cheesecake.

All great options for healthy food. You rarely find such places. All organic and good gluten free options. Quality is good. Yes price is bit on a higher side for the break fast. Would've given 5 star had quantity was matching price for organic food. Service was fine, they could do it bit fast

My daughter loved her smoothie bowl, my other daughter had a cup of lentil soup which was a nice sized portion for a cup. I had a pumpkin spice that was a bit to strong and somewhat bland for me. I was really shocked by the service directed at us in particular. The cashier was almost overly sweet to the other patrons (regulars?) but when I ordered she was standoffish and barely looked at me. When the food was served to us, I went out of my way to say thank you and she again, barely acknowledged me nor returned it with a response. Maybe she was having a bad day but the difference between the service towards us and the other patrons was night and day. I dont know what we did or said to warrant the cold shoulder but it was kind of a bummer. 🤷‍♀️

Great vegan food place which is a little expensive and portion size was small. However the staff and owner were very sweet and accommodated my special Jain vegan diet, made me a custom BLT tempeh sandwich. It tasted great

Love coming here for fresh, healthy options. My go to is the avocado toast with gluten free bread and the green smoothie. This order is the tacos and a chocotein and golden green smoothie. I would also highly recommend their lentil soup and their breakfast oatmeal! You can’t go wrong!

Interesting vegan and organic place. First time here, ordered the Chocolatein but they were out of frozen bananas so we had to substitute it with another fruit unfortunately. All of their milk or cream-based items use cashew milk. The smoothies are made in a little enclosure so that only the worker loses their hearing... The bathroom fan vent has more dust on it than my attic! I always wonder if that's the case in a public space what does the kitchen look like???

I think smoothies, fruit bowls would have been the highlights but we ordered burger and tacos. Tacos were pretty good, loved them. But burger was hard to eat. Maybe we're not used to the bread yet. Parking was ample. One of the great place for vegans.

The food is good, but it could be great. For the price being charged, it should be spectacular. The smoothies are great. A touch pricey, but worth it. I had the veggie wrap today. It was decent, healthy and satisfying. But soy sauce in the black beans? All the good ingredients are there, but the flavors weren’t quite working well together. I’ll be back.

Highly overpriced regular food, mostly bland tasting; now considered "fancy " organic vegan food. Most organic sadly is not even organic nowadays. Humanity has lots touch with reality.

Staff were nice and wore masks. Menu is varied. Unfortunately many customers weren’t wearing masks. I made the mistake of getting the tempeh sandwich with jicama slaw. Wasn’t a fan of either. They also have juices. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction within minutes of sipping a green juice to one of the ingredients but it wasn’t their fault. I forgot to ask them not to include the kale. Before my allergic reaction (which required Epi) I did think the taste was good. If I return, I’d obviously get another drink and different meal.

Was excited for this place but their mango turmeric smoothie was 90 percent turmeric and neither of us could eat any of it. When we returned the bowl and told them about this, they just shrugged 😅

I've been getting the Avo toast here for years, and it's so tasty. Recently they have started using ridiculously small bread for the toast - like they are taking a baguette and slicing it lengthwise. Why?!? If you need to raise your prices to be able to provide normal size bread, do it. This is just super disappointing.

I am so sad to say, I was very excited to get the street tacos, and my husband got the lentil soup. Unfortunately, I could have made our meal at home better myself for $5. The lime crema was VERY sour, so overpowering I couldn't finish my taco :( the beans were home cooked but completely unseasoned with no flavor. The lentil soup was blended and showed no signs of lentils, mostly potato. I should have just opened a can of Amy's soup for him. I'm so disappointed 😔
