If you're a vegetarian this place is fantastic. As a carnivore I do enjoy the fake Reuben. I make sure I'm very hungry before I go and I enjoy the vegetarian food. Desserts are divine

Big fan of Dharma's for years for the mellow vibe, spacious eatery, and delicious healthier food. Favorite is the Indian curry and the Kitcheree. Bo Thai is fave of my spouse. Both are gluten-free vegan.

Anytime I visit Santa Cruz. I have to go to my favorite restaurant and get vegan gluten-free chicken chow mein and sit by my favorite indoor plant. 💕🦋

i absolutely love this restaurant! They have such a wide variety of dishes, and what I really appreciate is how well informed the cashiers are they always know exactly what each dish contains. And if they’re unsure, they double check with a detailed ingredients list, which I find so thoughtful. There are so many vegan and no onion/no garlic options available, which is perfect for my dietary needs. The staff at the register are incredibly kind and sweet just the best service all around. Highly recommend!

Great veggie restaurant with loads of healthy food options. I added avocado and artichokes to my salad, and a tea and my order came close to being $40. You order at the register then sit and wait for your name to be called, and you pick it up at the counter. Amazing art on the wall, and super cool plants trailing the wall. The salad was enough for two portions; I took the rest to go (containers are placed out for you to grab). There is a station for you to place your tray and dishes. Great vibe, casual ambiance.

Highly recommend! We had the vegan BBQ sandwhich and it was better than real meat! The food is absolutely amazing and priced accurately for location and quality vegan food. Their vegan cake is beyond incredible and the staff is so sweet. We were having a really rough day as a family member passed away and the man at check out was so kind he gave us a piece of cake and it absolutely made our day. I would go back just because of that kindness!

I've only ordered thru door dash but this is my favorite place in Santa Cruz for a quick and healthy meal. The steamed vegetables are like none other with veggies of every color and perfectly steamed. The spring rolls are huge, fresh and delicious.

A unique spot with healthy vegetarian and vegan food options. Dinner felt like a nice hug for myself: healthy food in a well-frequented spot with a friendly hippy vibe. It's worth checking out, the only other restaurants I've tried that are similar to it are all in the East Bay. Very family friendly (I appreciated that a few staff came over with dinosaur toys when my kids were having a meltdown) and the dining area is extremely large so there's plenty of spots to choose from. Best dish was the soup and salad. The breakfast burrito was good too, as long as you're a fan of baked potato.

My favourite restaurant in the US so far!! And that happens when the freshest ingredients meet world class recipes and are served beautifully in a great ambiance! The portion sizes are large, so make sure you have enough appetite to do justice to the portion size and it's amazing taste! I would eat here everyday if i lived here. Nice patio eating too. Even after stuffing yourself full, you won't feel uncomfortable or bloated. That speaks a lot about the quality of ingredients, spices and sauces. They really care about their customers! Primarily vegan food with some dairy options.

Delicious food, cafe-style. The menu is vast and has items for folks whatever your​ craving of the day is. Definitely great for vegetarians. I had a BBQ seitan sandwich and a veggie BLT and was not disappointed. Bread could've been crispier on the BLT, but the flavors were on-point! The BBQ sandwich was saucy and absolutely delicious, I highly recommend it. Prices are reasonable​, especially for the portion size. If you're on the fence on whether to come, think if it as an unpretentious Cafe Gratitude and head on over.

Vegan / Vegetarian cafe with a variety of great dishes. Food: Tried the Portobello Artichoke Sandwich, the serving was huge, seasoned perfect and went well with chips and salsa. The Breakfast Burrito was also massive and very tasty. Service: Order fast food style at the counter then wait for your food to be called out. Food comes out in about 20 minutes. Ambiance: Place is massive. Lots of seating inside but limited outside.

You order at the register and pick up your food at the counter when ready. Bus you own tables. Food is very good, and in VERY large quantities. Either go in extremely hungry, split an order, or expect to have leftovers. Carryout containers are easily accessible at a counter near the exit door.

Huge selection of veg entrees and appetizers. Lots of seating, food 🍲 ready for pick up fairly quickly, good tasting, workers friendly and keep up the cleanliness. Plenty of parking, good prices.

I would have to say that I’ve been getting a tostada salad for years. It started at about I believe $14 if not cheaper, this is all I ever get there. I’ve just paid $25. I would not care about it but the quality of it and the portion has decreased tremendously. I am very disappointed with my lunch today.

This is my second or third time back in a very long time. I remembered why I don't come here often and it's not only because it's far. The food is blasé, bland, meh. I got the Nuclear Bluff sandwich. Seems to be soy curls cooked in tomato sauce. The sandwich doesn't hold together well and is messy to eat. They cheese helped the soy curls stay put. The bread was a little stale. It tasted okay. It better with hot sauce. The salad was wilted and already going bad, orange at the edges. The tomato slices were fresh however. I had asked for vegan cheese instead of regular cheese which they accommodated. But they forgot to switch out the vinaigrette dressing which has honey. Not a huge loss, as it dissuaded me from eating rotting salad. Next time I'm looking for places to eat in the area, I hope I remember this.

This place used be really good in the 80s and 90s. And their portions were very generous. And their prices were very reasonable. But now the quality and portion size is poor, and the cost is ridiculously high. Won't be back.

What kind of restaurant is this? You have to order your own food and pick up your own food. They don't bring your food out to your table ; Then what's the whole point of tipping if basically I have to do it all ? Keep in mind the trades are heavy and im kind of short. I don't appreciate how some restaurant like this get away with things like that. I don't work here to be doing there jobs. The food wasn't even good neither. I would definitely not come back here again.

This was an absolute joke. I ordered two quesadillas for $27 to go and what I got was two flimsy taco shells with melted cheese inside and a pile of shredded lettuce. That’s not a quesadilla—that’s lazy, insulting, and straight-up robbery. You seriously charged full price for something I could’ve thrown together at home for $3.50 in five minutes. Complete waste of money and a total ripoff. I won’t be coming back, and I’ll make sure others know to avoid this place too.

Dharma's was located in a nice area and the decor was nice. However, I wouldn't recommend going to this restaurant. The food was not good at all. We ordered Brahma Burger, which was dry, and the Indian curry, which was not Indian at all. The Indian curry had maple syrup, which wasn't even listed in the ingredients on the menu. When I talked to the restaurant about this concern, I was told that they put maple syrup in everything and this is how they have been cooking for years. They were very much unwilling to do anything about it. It was disheartening to get this kind of response. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.
