Peace Pies

It's so rare to find raw vegan food, let alone it be done well. They have out done themselves here. We were SO impressed. My partner and I got the tacos and the mushroom stroganoff. Every bite was insanely good. We finished up with a twix bar and took some of the kale chips and other desserts to go. Definitely have to stop by here and will be coming back next time we're back in town.

Very cute little venue with delicious food. We showed up and there was no wait. Service was very friendly and answered any questions we may have had about ingredients and dietary restrictions. We had the Mediterranean Sampler, Bruschetta, Mango Curry Wrap, Mushroom Stroganoff, and the Nori Nirvana between three of us and we were so pleased with every dish that came out!

If you’re looking for a unique and healthy dining experience, Peace Pies Raw Food Cafe is IT! Blink and you’ll miss it so watch for the rainbow sign out front. The cafe is tucked slightly back on Voltaire and is an absolute hidden gem. I tried the Cashew and Parmesan Kale Chips which were outstanding. Perfect crunch then they literally melt in your mouth. The sweet treats are fantastic as well. So many cool options that I need to come back to try more. What really sets this place apart is the vibe and the atmosphere. Theres a small Indoor seating area but do yourself a favor and opt for the “garden”, an outdoor oasis of growing passion fruit and tropical wonder. Will definitely be back for more! #rawfood #healthy #snacks #cafe #eclectic #special #oceanbeach #kale #avocado #handcrafted #garden

The portions here are pretty darn big! It was just two of us and we couldn't finish our three plates. We were just passing through, so we couldn't take the leftovers to go, unfortunately. So, I'd start with 1 entree to share and add on as needed because portions are large. Also, I find raw food to be VERY filling, and I didn't feel like eating the rest of the day after our meal. For anyone unfamiliar with what RAW, GF, VEGAN entails, you will primarily be consuming plants and nuts/seeds. They are soaked, dehydrated, and prepared in ways to create sauces, "bread" and taco shells and such without the need for heat-cooking. Here, they take a truly exquisite and artful way of meal design and presentation. I've been vegan for 6+ years, so the plant-filled meal was not surprising to me, but I know the completely cold temperature of the food was off-putting for my partner. They didn't really feel satisfied after eating. Most people are used to warm, cooked food, so I would recommend going here on a warm summer day for a fresh meal! Pricing is around $15-20 per entree. They do offer a 4% cash discount. If dining in, they do bring your food out to you, but it's up to you to get your own cutlery and napkins and put your dishes away. Beverages are few here. You won't find any unhealthy soda machines. Instead, there's bottled juices or smoothies and complimentary water. In the photos are the Noble nachos, Voltaire street tacos (which were actually too similar to the nachos), and (the special of the day) a pulled pork sammie. The blueberry pop-tart I got to go was amazing! As a v + gf eater, I haven't had a decent pop-tart in forever! While raw, it was still very delicious! The filling was A+! UPDATE: I've been here a few times since my original review and enjoy trying something new each time I go. Always flavorful, and you can feel the loving energy that goes into the food. I also recommend picking up a bag of their addictive kale chips or treating yourself to a raw dessert!

Exceptional raw vegan food!! I got the kale mushroom stroganoff (it is more filling than you think) and also the rainbow salad with tahini dressing. Really cheap price for the high quality. The guy that took my order was SO NICE too. Don’t miss this place!!!

Absolutely love it 😍 I got Mediterranean wrap and tea💚 the prep was quick and very tasty! Highly recommend this place!

This was my first time visiting Peace Pies, and it completely lived up to what I expected. The food was fresh, flavorful, and very filling — everything tasted thoughtfully made and full of life. The service truly stood out. Chaaya was our host and helped us choose the best food for us, taking the time to explain the menu and make great recommendations. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was relaxed and positive, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about their food and their guests. I’ll definitely be coming back 🌱✨ 2nd time and this place keeps going with great flavors!

Great vegan place. Enjoyed the cheesy kale chips and healthy wrap. Gotta go back and try more.

This place is amazing! A true raw vegan cafe that has ridiculously delicious food, friendly staff, and a chill a$$ vibe. A friend and I visited recently for a healthy wholesome meal. We tried a few of their menu items, and we were not disappointed. We started with the chips (cucumbers) and guacamole and avocado sunseed toast. Entrees: the bliss burger and the daily special carnitas (mushrooms) fajita burrito (coconut tortilla). Drinks: chocolate milkyway and horchata shakes. We left with a Twix bar and a hostess cupcake for dessert. Again, I was not disappointed at all. If you're in the OB/Point Loma area, I definitely recommend stopping in for some good eats.

Hidden gem with delicious wraps and outdoor seating Looking for a healthy and delicious meal after a long week? This place definitely hit the spot! It has a cozy indoor area and a beautiful outdoor seating option, which I highly recommend. Parking is available on the street nearby, and there are plenty of good food options in the area. Must-try dishes: * Mango curry wrap (the MVP! The sauce is amazing) * Luna tuna wrap (very good) * Peaceful pizza (unique but delicious) * Strawberry milkshake (very good) I loved the food so much that I ended up buying their recipe book! They have a variety of options to explore, so I'll definitely be back to try more.

My favorite spot in San Diego! My diet is primarily raw vegan, and this place is so very special. My partner eats all types of food but is equally excited and fulfilled coming here with me. The employees are the absolute sweetest, so humble and kind and grounded, the food is filling and flavorful and fabulous (and so so healthy!), and the jungle porch at the Voltaire location feels like Eden. We LOVE the mushroom quesadillas! Took home leftovers to my partners parents who eat way more mainstream cooked food and they loved it too! You wouldn’t even know how it’s so uniquely prepared. Their desserts are so rich and filling, their coconut water is the best I’ve ever tasted, and we always get extra snacks and meals to go. We live in New Mexico but are always sure to pop in here at least once when we visit San Diego. We have the recipe book and make as much as we can at home - but it’s always better at the restaurant! Their presentation is so beautiful and honestly we are full and satisfied just sharing one dish. Pictured is our shared meals of mushroom quesadillas (with the taco walnut meat) and the falafel wrap. YUM. We love you peace pies!

Peace Pies in Ocean Beach is a raw food paradise! I tried the raw lasagna, and it was absolutely delicious—layered with fresh, flavorful ingredients that made every bite a delight. I also had a durian smoothie, which was so creamy and unique, and I couldn’t leave without taking home a Butterfinger bar and a slice of lemon blueberry cheesecake. Both were to die for—rich, satisfying, and all guilt-free! Everything here is not only delicious but incredibly healthy, and it’s clear they put so much care into every dish. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal or grab some goodies to go. If you’re into raw, vegan, or just great food, Peace Pies is a must-visit! I'll definitely be back for more!

This place blows me away every time! Best restaurant in the world to me! We are from London and visit San Diego often. We absolutely love eating here in their cute little garden. My first choice off the menu would be the raw quesadilla - incredible flavours! The desserts are to die for! This time I purchased both of their cookery books to make raw food while recovering from surgery in Mexico. WOW I couldn’t believe I could make raw food taste like that. The owner is so kind to share so many of his best recipes! I can’t wait to be back in San Diego to come back to piece pies. I just wish we had something like this closer to us! You guys are the best! An inspiration to us all to eat healthy and with love x

JP and team— thank you. The care, attention to detail and experience makes this team true, raw food artisans. No matter what your food lifestyle choices, I recommend Peace Pies to 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦. Can't get better than raw living foods! Just take a look at the pictures... the colours, vibrancy of the dishes, hearty portions, beautiful presentation and wonderful plant pairings... it's my absolute favourite place in San Diego. I'm looking forward to their second location re-opening in Encintas so I can visit more often. Some things worth mentioning: They have a special that changes sometimes every two days, maybe every week or even a couple weeks. Not on the regular menu, sometimes the special is posted to their Instagram and usually costs $17. Favourite specials: crab cakes, thai kelp noodles & chkn tenders. Favourite regular menu items: maca cup, mushroom stroganoff & luna tuna wrap. Most filling: burger, pizza & mushroom stroganoff. For dining-in: Outdoor and inside seating available, but limited. Humble and cozy surroundings, the outdoor patio seating is really lush with plants and fun hidden trinkets. Half service, half self-service. You order at the counter. They bring it out to you, but you grab napkins/utensils inside and also clean your plate and place it in a tub. If you manage to get a parking place, I hope you enjoy these handcrafted, life-giving delights 🍰🌱

My first raw food experience, and I'll absolutely be back! The joy of eating without restrictions was overwhelming in a good way. I ordered the lasagna and my friends ordered the "fish" taco special and "milk" shakes that were so creamy and delicious. We all loved everything and the chef even spoke to us about how each of our dishes were made. They also sell Jem almond butter. The Salted Caramel is a must try! The dining space is small and that was a bit of an issue, but it was cozy like eating at a friend's house which I enjoyed. I can't wait to try something new when I return.

This is an amazing restaurant for a vegan food. The restaurant is fully raw and is the only other raw place in the Southland. The only other one is in Los Angeles. Both locations in San Diego have a great atmosphere. The goodies at the register shelves and cooler cases are worth it alone. There is no other place you can get both kale chips and wonderful raw deserts like the twix bars and awesome cakes. The menu has wonderful dishes plus the specials listed at the register.

I love the food at Peace Pies! Whenever I’m in San Diego, it’s one of my go-to spots. On my last visit, I had the Rainbow Salad, which was packed with fresh, colorful vegetables and a delicious dressing. I topped it with some kale chips — perfection. We also shared the avocado toast, which was also very good. Highly recommend

The food was AMAZING! They were super accommodating about other allergies I had and helped me find something I could eat. The people are so kind and again the food was great we had the quesadilla, the lasagna, and tiramisu (best I have ever had) as well as some samosas that were so good I could have eaten 10. Definitely stop by this place.

We are fortunate to have these folks who make raw food taste so good. I can vouch that they adhere to the raw organic principles of Dr. Norman Walker. I've gone 95-100% raw foodist for well over a year now, visiting multiple times per week, and every week I'm surprised with a new Special or dessert. I've never felt better eating raw foods and can pretty much eat all I want without gaining weight. I've never eaten more desserts in my life. I'm so thankful for the whole crew here since making raw food at home taste great is a LOT of hard work. If you are up for it, go all in, and get the raw fooding books sold in store and start making some things yourself which is very rewarding for me. When I want a break from the hard work of "baking", I just go in for a meal and appreciate them doing all the hard work.

Delicious and very healthy completely vegan food. Only down side is that this place is very expensive two items and a smoothie were $55. Quality ingredients and preparation come at a price. Location and environment is one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating at.
