Nourish Cafe

"Nourish Cafe has two locations in San Francisco: one in the Inner Richmond, and another at 1030 Hyde Street in Nob Hill. Completely plant-based, the restaurants serve juice, smoothies, bowls, and sandwiches for breakfast and lunch (the Nob Hill location also offers dinner). Just Date, a whole-sugar fruit company run by Bay Area-based M.D. Sylvie Charles, provides the date-based syrup." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"For a place with “nourish” in the name, this vegan spot in the Richmond (a second location is in Nob Hill) delivers plant-based cafe staples that are, surprise surprise, nourishing. The breakfast and lunch spot has some seats but runs an efficient takeout operation, so your move is to get here when you have only ten minutes to scarf down lunch. There are pretty solid spinach wraps stuffed with a garden’s worth of red peppers and cabbage, bowls of tamari, garlic, and paprika-marinated tofu over quinoa or brown rice—they’re leveled up by a range of creamy sauces and dressing, like sriracha miso, or jalapeño cashew mayo. For your drinkable fruit and vegetable fix, a bunch of supergreen, pitaya, and baobab juice smoothies fill the menu." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway, Ricky Rodriguez

"Next time you get hungry while you and your puppy are strutting down the street on a morning walk, stop by Nourish Cafe. The vegan cafe has locations in the Richmond and Nob Hill, both of which have a couple of small-ish tables out on the sidewalk. Grab an acai bowl or a smoothie and enjoy it while you contemplate putting the dog on a plant-based diet, too." - Julia Chen 1
