Lovin' Spoonfuls Vegan Restaurant and Bakery

I haven't eaten meat since 2003, went Vegan in 2005, and I've eaten out at a lot of different vegan comfort food establishments. This one is nice. It has a modern, clean atmosphere rather than the dodgy diners you often find in the comfort space. My party of three ate outside. The server, who was also the baker, was exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was spot on. My potato cakes had that cheesy chile warmth that you'd demand from a potato cake. I had their soup of the day as well, which was a corn chowder. It was lovely, with perfectly cooked potato and carrot chunks and the garnish must have been just thrown in at the last second because it was delicate and flavorful. My aunt and uncle had the Route 66 burger and some kind of waffle sandwich respectively, which I had to snap a quick picture of because it was gone the next time I looked up from my plate. My uncle is an omnivore and I'm sure he recommended this place to me. I am pleased to live only a few minutes away. I'll be back.

I am sincerely impressed with the chicken dinner that I had. The portions were actually impressive and matched the price point for the dish. The vegan chicken was super tender and perfectly crunchy on the outside, and the vegetable were just the chefs kiss. The brown sauce didn't need any additional salt, and the mashed potatoes were cooked to perfection. Absolutely zero complaints. Even the side salad had an impressive salad dressing. That doesn't normally stand out, but it did this time! The price matched the portions and the flavor. I left a happy customer!

We were excited to Uber here and enjoy some vegan food. Overall (and I hate saying this) the food was pretty meh. My daughter got kids chicken nuggets which were just warmed up gardein chunks. My buffalo wrap needed extra buffalo as it has almost no flavor. Service was amazing and friendly. Menu had a big selection which was nice. Not sure we would go again.

We've been going to Lovin' Spoonfuls since they first opened and we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary there. This is a great place for vegan comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff.

The portions are huge. The chicken breast pasta was good, but I couldn’t even eat half of it. Also tried fried pickles — sounds weird, but they were actually pretty good

I was so looking forward to this meal being delicious and it was not. The woman explaining the meals to me and what everyone enjoys getting was very kind. It's just the taste was lacking for me. However the cookie was delicious! As I always state, this was my experience. Try for yourself and you may think differently. I didn't even really eat it and threw it away. I hate wasting money...ugh! When it's busy, it's hard to find parking in the plaza.

I like that you can order whatever and not have to ask if it's vegan. The Philly cheese steak was filling and tasty. The blueberry basil drink was refreshing. The pumpkin bread was thick and sweet with sugar crystals, really good. I wanna keep coming back to try everything.

Lovin' Spoonfuls is one of my favorite Vegan Restaurants, I have been going here for years. I like their burgers, and occasionally an entree and their Bakery is amazing The outside seating out front is dog friendly Amazing for take out or dine in

I ordered vegan tacos. There were three on the plate...tasty, with cheese, sour cream, salsa, and tofu. Enjoyable but more than anything, the service was good. From what I understand, the team member at the cashier station is a long time employee. Loving Spoonfuls is fortunate to have this employee. The ins and outs of the different items we were considering were shared in an attentive and personable manner. We chose to eat outside where the seating was adequate, decor okay but nothing special. I would describe the inside in that same manner, even though we were only inside to order. But truthfully , who cares when the food and service is good.

I've tried a couple things from here that I really liked years ago, but I did not particularly love it this time. Though the service was great, I was not as pleased with my meal. I ordered an Orange creamsicle smoothie, excited to be able to down it since I usually avoid that much dairy. I think I picked the wrong flavor because it was much too subtle and tasted primarily like, soy milk (I think that was the taste). The fried chicken Alfredo was impressive with perfect crisp to the breading and a "fried chicken" texture that really was bad at all (and I'm a self proclaimed meat lover!) the breading however was really very nutty.. it would have been nice to have some seasoning flavors. The dish I felt was also stingy with the sauce. My husband felt his meal was okay. I did get baked treats as well and though I liked the cookie, the stand out was the strawberry shortcake cupcake! It had actual strawberry filling and was Soo good! Their fries are pretty good here. I still want to come back and try more smoothie flavors as well as the brunch!

Been here 2 times now. Loved the food the first time, came back to try their chicken & waffles. Looks unwhelming but turned out tasty. Very casual, order at the counter, self serve water. Plenty of tables. Friendly service. Highly recommend if in Tucson for yummy vegan foods!

Some of the best vegan food you'll find anywhere! We had the chicken dinner and it was fabulous. Their prices are excellent and they have such a great variety of dishes. Ambiance not so great though. I do think they really need to update their dining area as it's looking pretty run down.

This is the most amazing vegan restaurant that I have been to in Tucson. Everything is made in house. That includes their ketchup and ranch dressing. Their food is so flavorful. However, their service cannot be beat anywhere. Wonderful people. Such a relaxing environment - I will be going there a lot in the future.

What a gem here in Tucson, AZ! Fully vegan, and the staff, sizes, and quality is amazing. They use buckwheat which is a great gluten free alternative instead of always rice or corn. The desserts are a bit sweet for me and the maple syrup size is huge (even though I definitely can finish that whole thing)! It is so worth the $$$ and everything has tasted amazing so far. The gluten free pancakes and the gluten free deluxe french toast are warm and filling. The toppings could have been a bit more as mine had no strawberries on the french toast but would still order again as is! The only downside is they use plastic containers to-go and it would be awesome to see a compostable alternative (or even just the option) on platforms like DoorDash to select! The servers are extremely knowledgeable on ingredients and other fully vegan restaurants in the area, and the energy of this restaurant is very high vibrational - just wish more people knew about it! Greatly recommend and will absolutely be back! 102024

I ordered the tempeh rueben with a potato salad. I loved the flavor and the vegan cheese in the sandwich was nice and gooey. The potato salad was light but filling. It was my first time here and I will definitely be back! Very cute and earthy vibe inside and lots to pick from. Great customer service too! My food was ordered to go and it was out in a jiffy.

Lovin' Spoonfuls still is serving up great vegan (and often gluten free) comfort food, but it feels like more care is being given to the space and food. When I went in this week, the place was spotless. I was greeted warmly by the team member working the counter. My meal came out quickly. The thin fries were crisp and had been cooked in fresh oil, and the hummus sandwich on GF bread was accompanied by a fresh, flavorful tomato, cucumber slices, and leaf lettuce. The desserts here always have been sublime, and the gluten free peanut butter chocolate cake was no exception. It's rich, though, so I got to enjoy some the next day. I'll be back with the fam when we want to go out for some tasty comfort food.

Southwestern Breakfast Burrito. A 10/10. When I heard Tofu Scramble I got nervous. The only other time I had a tofu scramble was at this other place and it was gross. Hence my concern. The cashier person explained how they did it, and she answered all my questions l. I went for it. I was impressed. It comes with potatoes on the side, yummy. The scramble is tofu with special spices, soy chorizo and green chilies. The dish has a lot food. You shouldn't eat it all. It comes wrapped in a vegan flour tortilla. Unfortunately, I never got that, but it wasn't a major loss. Nor did I get the salsa. But I'm sure if I asked it would have been delivered. The dish comes with vegan sour cream, which tasted like sour cream. I ordered a guacamole on the side. I loved the flavor, but it had ice crystals in it. My spouse went with the old Pueblo burrito. It was massive. Lots of black beans and rice. She didn't like that it automatically had sour cream in it. Had we been here before, she would ask removal. Oh we ordered and then took home the cauliflower wings with bbq sauce. We thought there will be six. A mountain appeared instead. We will be back..I want to try the Fried Vegan Chicken.

We came from out of town and were really craving a vegan breakfast so we found this place. It was just "ok". I mean, we were hungry so we ate it all, but, my partner's biscuit was a little doey. My partner said he'd rate it a 6 out of 10. My tofu scramble was better than his biscuits and gravy. The hashbrowns were nicely done, and the cheese on the tofu was quite good. I give my dish an 8 out of 10. The service was a little slow, but that's ok. The person at the counter did their job, but there wasn't a lot of friendliness, just doing their job. Because our trip was a short one, we won't be able to come back, and we probably won't (not to be unkind) because there are other places we want to try out.

I have been a loyal patron of this establishment for nearly two years, and it has become my top choice in Tucson. The quality of the food is exceptional, consistently exceeding expectations, and the customer service is outstanding. Every visit is a pleasure, and I am always impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, who make you feel right at home. My only challenge here is choosing what to order, as I have several favorites on the menu. For those seeking hearty, satisfying comfort food without guilt, this is the perfect destination. The portions are generous, and the food is always fulfilling. This remains one of my favorite places in Tucson.

Love the flavorful and healthy food in a quiet and quaint environment. There is something for everybody with the variety. I enjoyed the bean, corn, and vegan sour creme burrito with the deliciously mild salsa.

I tried Lovin Spoonfuls for the first time yesterday. I had their BBQ beef nachos. I had been craving nachos for forever and these hit the spot. I am excited to go back and try some of their other items.

We love this place. Honestly when we first tried them years ago, we weren't in love with their food and so after going another time or two we stopped going. Through social media i saw something changed whether management or ownership or something. We eventually tried them again and it's 10/10 non-stop. Breakfast lunch dinner and dessert, we've had several things from all of them and it's been just out of this world for us. We also get all our cakes catered by them. Personal faves, breakfast burrito, chicken Alfredo with a side of marinara, and any cake

Fabulous chicken dinner and buffalo chicken sandwich. I'd hold the lettuce tomato in the bun sandwich, a little soggy due to steam, I guess. I ordered via DoorDash and had no problem with door dash. I've used them a couple of times. Not sure what the company is like when something goes wrong but I had no problem, it was smooth, a bit delayed delivery. oh and I did have to go out in parking lot and find them one time because they couldn't find my door when I wasn't feeling well. but the job they do is difficult and I've not had any major problem with the delivery drivers this far. Anyway, go for items on menus at lovin spoonful most liked and you can't go wrong!

Was here again today. Just as good as the first time. I would prefer extra gravy on the lentil loaf but that's something that's easy to ask for. Food I've had and cookies here have been great!

I love Lovin'. This place has been a staple in my life and even as it's undergone changes, each new iteration is just as great. The new breakfast sandwiches are bomb! We loved the tempeh bacon sandwich with chipotle mayo. And the new iced coffees are delish! The pumpkin spice has a natural taste and doesn't take super artificial like most do. The service is excellent as always and the patio is nice and clean. Perfect time of year to sit out there!

We recently tried the Cauliflower Wings, and oh my, are they delicious! If the word pizazz can be used to describe food, it should be used now. For something like cauliflower to have this kind of flavor coaxed out of it--well done! We appreciated the help at the counter with descriptions and decisions. Very friendly and helpful people made us feel welcome. We came at a time when it wasn't peak, so had a nice leisurely meal in a space where we could actually hear each other. Lovely experience and we look forward to coming back to try some other menu items.

Food was delicious. I tried one of their wraps and fried mushrooms. I would come back the next time I visit. The attendant was really nice. She asked about my food. Their creamer was delicious too. My favorite were the mushrooms.

I was planning to visit my family in Tucson (mid February 2023) and I was looking for some good vegan restaurants to treat my parents to lunch together with my kids. I found this place on Happy Cow app to have good reviews so we decided to give it a go. My mom and I ordered the Sesame "Chicken" salad, my daughter had the Spaghetti and "Meatballs," my son enjoyed the "Chicken" Nuggets and fries, we all shared a bit of their super delicious Grilled "Cheese" on sourdough bread. My kids enjoyed the Little Debbie vegan version of their Chocolate Cupcakes and my Mom and I enjoyed sharing a bowl of their house made vanilla ice cream for dessert. C'est magnifique! I haven't been to many vegan restaurants but this place has made its way to the top of my list. The salads were fresh and the sesame dijon dressing was the perfect compliment to the faux chicken (I believe was tempeh). Normally, I am not a big fan of tempeh but I liked the way they prepared it here. This restaurant is nestled in a strip mall with good amount of parking near the university. The staff were kind and helpful in answering all of my questions. This place is family friendly as they have board games and card games for the kids to play.

I finally was able to stop and try this place out today. Menu was pretty good. They have alot of options and some great sweets, especially for a vegan place. The service was pretty good. The prices were a little expensive, but I guess the norm for vegan food. The most important part was the food itself. I had the old pueblo burrito. It was amazing! Some kind of vegan sour cream made it especially delicious. The little side salad of mixed greens was nothing to write home about, but the burrito itself was great. My companion had the artuga salad. Atleast that's what I think it was called. It didn't look very good, but she definitely didn't have any complaints. She also got some French fries and they were right up there with anyone else's good fries. I can see myself returning to this place regularly.

Lovin' Spoonfuls catered my wedding and it was absolutely perfect and everything I ever wanted. Michelle made us enchiladas that were delicious and Ashley made us a beautiful cake with three different flavors. It was a work of art. These two worked hard and I'm so grateful they came through for us. Thank you. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into making sure this day was the most special day of our lives

Lovin' Spoonfuls is a great for a casual 100% plant-based meal. They have indoor and outdoor dining and are family owned. There are a range of menu items but so far I've only tried their burgers. I'm not vegan and the house made soy was fantastic, the burgers have good texture and flavor. Their service took quite a while since it was busy, not sure if that's a regular occurrence but if you're in a hurry it might be worth opting for take out.

WOW. I am not a vegan, or vegetarian or anything like that but my bestie is and has pretty intense dietary restrictions. We like to go to places where she can order whatever she wants on the menu (without fear of cross contamination) and she picked this spot for a recent birthday lunch. She said she has been coming here for years, but had not been back since it had changed ownership some years back. Super cute inside, you walk up and order, get a number then find a seat and wait for your food. I order the daily special - patty melt w/fries and she had a rice/veggie bowl. The food came out hot and delicious with hearty portions. I must say that patty melt was beyond good. I mean how in the world was I eating a vegan patty melt?!? She loved her rice bowl which looked super tasty. Now, the dessert selection at the counter was OFF THE CHARTS. I did not go for it... how I had the will power was shocking. Everything looked so amazing. Whoever was back in that kitchen whipping up this food was seriously on point with their skills.

Good food and service. It was a bit busy this evening so it took more time that usual to receive the meal but it was not that bad since I'm assuming is only one person working the kitchen. I like the burger I ordered and my husband had the chicken dinner. I would definitely go back for another meal. Nice ambiance.

Amazing vegan junk food! I wish they had healthier options but great choice when you want to indulge. The buffalo chicken sandwich is 10/10

I mean if you like vegan food. To be fair I tried the vegan burger and it fell short. It was mushy so it was softer than the toppings and that makes for a bad burger experience. However, my wife had the cheesteak and it was delicious, I'll go back for that in a heartbeat. The table next to us has the cauliflower wings and I was instantly jealous. The ambience, well it's like a fast food joint but quieter. Would go again, for wings and the cheesesteak!

Was on business trip and found this wonderful place. Very clean. So good that I went back twice while in town! Fresh; not too salty; great service! I would definitely go back again!

There's so many delicious vegan options here - it's always hard for me to decide what to order. I decided to try something new and got Sweet and Sour Cauliflower wings and Chipotle Fries (not pictured) The cauliflower wings were sooooo good! Nice crispness and not too soggy from the sauce. The fries were a bit underwhelming. It's just fries with chipotle seasoning. For some reason I was assuming it was going to have chipotle sauce and onions and good stuff but that's what I get for assuming and not asking The fries were still good though! Service was very friendly and accommodating. I will be back to try a new dish

This is one of my fave places to eat locally. 100% vegan, amazing staff, great service and delicious foods. It's like a diner for vegans and I love it. They have bathrooms open for use, games for entertainment and so many vegan options including a large list of desserts. Bring your own container to support less waste, purchase. Local art piece or post card. Kid friendly! Grab take out or dine in... such a great place.

I made a stop at the restaurant today with a co-worker who's a regular there. I'm a total foodie so of course I'll try vegan stuff. I ordered the falafel plate and a supersized oatmeal cookie with cream filling. The Falafel had alot of flavor(I think a little overcooked? I'm not a falafel regular so you can decide from the picture) and tahini sauce was perfect. The salad and hummus were also very flavorful and fresh. I was super full afterwards! The service was good but it did seem to take a while to get our order for some reason. The server was very nice and courteous and had good interactions with other customers. The atmosphere was like a hippie/chic type of thing with lots of plants and there were a few families with their kids having lunch too to it was a good place for anyone to check out. My plate was $13 and the cookie was over $5 I think!

We used using Lovin' Spoonfuls to cater my mother-in-law's 70th birthday. Several of our guests were vegan so the options they provided exactly what we were looking for. We ordered the vegan spaghetti with meatballs, garlic bread, cauliflower wings and mushrooms. Not only was the food incredibly delicious :) but the service was impeccable and they were able to deliver everything, which also arrived fresh (even the fried dishes were crispy upon arrival). We also had a few of the vegan and gluten free cupcakes, which were also delicious. Juan and David were awesome and very attentive to all of our questions and needs leading up to the party. In fact, everyone I spoke with was so kind and friendly. I will definitely order from this place again for any of our vegan catering needs, and I am excited to check out their storefront next time I am in town.

Love lovin Spoonfuls! They are so nice there! Great service! Michelle is so nice and accommodating! We have been there a few times and she recognized us and made us feel so welcomed! The space is welcoming and casual/ comfortable! And the food!! The food is so so good! I've loved everything I've gotten! As a vegetarian of 16 years I give it a thumbs up!

Food , service and ambiance poor. Cleanliness not great. Tempeh bacon BLT served on barely toasted bread, minimal amount of tempeh which was stone cold, sub standard bread, minimal salad. I did like the cashew nut loaf and mashed potatoes but they were heavy and more than retro. Falafel ok, not great, same bagged salad. Bad, musty smell in restaurant, minimal AC. No apology for inedible BLT though they did provide a credit( or said they would. Go two doors down to Flower Child with lots of vegan choices.

Every time I have gone to Lovin Spoonfuls I have enjoyed the delicious food! Awesome variety of great vegan dishes. My brother is not vegan, but he has loved the food there!

I am so blown away! This is not the first time I've ordered baked goods from here, but it is the first time I've ordered ELVIS cupcakes!!! Banana & chocolate chip cake with peanut butter frosting!!! If I ever meet the baker, I am going to give her the biggest hug! Also, the staff is always so pleasant and accommodating!!! Highly recommended!!!

The nut loaf entree was bad. It didn't hold any shape. It and the mash potatoes and the mushroom gravy all had the same weird texture. The mixed veggies were too overcooked. My dish took 30 min to come out and was lukewarm and cold in other spots. It just looked unappetizing. Grill the nut loaf and get something to hold it together and give it a crunchy exterior. Maybe gravy on the side so you can see it better. It all was clumped together like a pile of wet dog food. Vegans deserve better looking food with good textures. Oh and when you're not busy why does it take 30 minutes?

I had the Garlic & Mushroom burger with a side of fries. Burger was good but now my stomach really hurts? And the fries were like cardboard. Totally flavorless and unsalted. I don't think this place is really worth the cost but I'm not giving up on it.

Super friendly service and great vegan menu. They were very glad to modify the burrito to be an open-face sandwich. Burrito was fresh and tasty. Fries were not hot which is important to me so I wouldn't order again. In fact my friend ordered out the next day and the potato salad was delicious (much small portion when you order to go). Solid choice if you're looking for a vegan menu

I want this place to become a chain! Please come up to MN. The best American Vegan food we have ever had! We ate here twice on our trip to Tucson - so tasty and fresh! The menu is HUGE - we could eat here every day for weeks and still not be able to try it all. So many delicious vegan shake flavors. We had the coffee, matcha and strawberry - all perfect On our first visit we had brunch: deluxe french toast with all the fixins and the breakfast burrito. It is so hard to find good breakfast options for vegans and this was absolutely the best I've ever had. You couldn't tell anything was vegan for the french toast and the burrito was just to die for. Crispy bacon and the added cheese we opted for was amazing. Our second visit we got the chicken dinner meal and barbecue beef sandwich. The dinner meal was so. much. food. I couldn't finish the veggie part but the chicken, potatoes and gravy were spot. on. Sometimes vegan savory food is too salty but this was all perfect Bravo. I wish you were in MN!!

This is the first vegan place I've tried. It took a while to get our food, but it was flavorful and well cooked. I got the sweet and sour veggie bowl. The service was so friendly--some of the nicest restaurant workers I've interacted with in Tucson. The cashier was very energetic and sweet to our daughter. After we ate, the owner (I think?) came and talked to us and that was a nice touch. I'm a big meat eater, but I'm glad I tried it.

I attended the Yelp elite here and found the space to be extremely cute and inviting. I ordered the wildcat burger for my hubby and I got the old Pueblo burrito. Service is pretty good, I'm assuming bc there was a special plus the elite event that their kitchen was backed up and that's why food was much longer wait than expected. The wildcat had a great flavor to it...the fries tho, not so great. The old pueblo burrito was a fatty one, and the flour tortilla was unexpectedly the mvp of the whole thing. Side salad was meh, so I'd probably go for something different next time. To be completely transparent the food was good for being a vegan restaurant, but I just moved here from Portland where vegan up there is on a whole other level...so where this wasn't the worst meal I've had since I've been here, I can't say I'm blown away. Again extremely spoiled with the ever growing vegan options that were available in the pnw, so my standards of a vegan restaurant are pretty high given my history of food exploration. I'm giving this restaurant a 4 out of 5 bc their servers were extremely pleasant and that's so important imo. Would I come back here? Not anytime soon. And when I do come back, I'll stay away from the fries and the side salad.

Love this place! Excellent service, very clean, and the food is AMAZING!!!! We always bring leftovers home with us because the portions are so generous (justifying the prices). They make wonderful dressings too which we love to bring home and make salads during the week topped with Lovin'Spoonfuls yummy stuff! Thank you for all you do to support the veganism!

Came here for breakfast over the weekend. I got the French toast deluxe. I didn't find the actual piece of the French toast to be sweet but all the fixings made it sweet. It was really good. The whipped cream was sooooo good. The food did take a while to come but they were pretty busy.

This place has soooo many vegan baked goods! My eyes were wide trying to take in a they had. They had giant brownies, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies decorated for Valentine's day, oatmeal cream pie, carrot cake, and more that I can't remember! I tried the oatmeal cream pie which was good, the cream portion was super sweet and I believe the cookies also had a chocolate coating inside. The rice and beans burrito is HUGE, my husband couldn't even finish the whole thing in one sitting and he almost always finishes his food.

I had the breakfast burrito which was so delicious! I was super impressed with how well cooked the potatoes were inside. They had the perfect amount of seasoning and garlic! The "eggs" were great too, similar texture, but all round, the burrito was filling and great tasting!

Love the variety of vegan options, and the Caesar with sietin was good. My friend loves their cauliflower wings, but the pita was a bit hard.

Gluten free!! Y'all, the Deluxe French Toast is outta this world! Strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, banana, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and syrup!! So good, filling, and perfectly portioned. You can ask to have less toppings or take toppings off. Purified water is easily accessible, ordering is easy, customer service is excellent, restrooms are clean, parking is ample.

I came here after hiking in the mountains and it was a great pick me up. I wanted something on Easter that wasn't $75 dollars for breakfast food and this place was perfect. The traditional breakfast burrito has tofu eggs and tempeh bacon which I haven't had in forever and it was so good. The cupcake was the perfect dessert for an Easter Day. There are so many other menu options, I hope to be back.
