John's Garden Cafe - Malibu

The sandwiches are made with fresh and healthy ingredients. The flavors are a bit muted.

I have lived in Malibu for 23 years and have seen the evolution of John's Garden. The restaurant always maintains high standards in their food quality. They used to have a fresh market attached to the sandwich shop, but it seems like they had to let it go due to rent increases. The vegan options at John's Garden have expanded, offering a variety of vegan burgers and wraps along with veganaise. They used to serve raw vegan cheesecakes, but I am not sure if they still do. While the sandwiches may be a bit pricey, they are worth it as the portions are generous and they don't hold back on the avocado. Moreover, they have a wide selection of vegan snacks and drinks, as well as a very friendly staff!

After reading positive reviews on HappyCow, I have visited John's Garden Cafe multiple times. The cafe and store are situated within a bustling shopping plaza. Customers order their food at the counter and can enjoy their meal outside in the courtyard. The menu mainly consists of fast food items such as burgers and sandwiches. My go-to choices are usually the veggie burger or veggie sandwiches. While vegan options are limited, the staff is willing to accommodate requests. This cafe is a convenient stop when in the Malibu area or passing through.

The sandwiches are made from fresh and nutritious ingredients, but they may lack some flavor.

John's Garden offers the best tuna sandwich you'll ever taste! Despite being located in the same shopping center as Nobu, the staff behind the counter are friendly and inviting. It's common to see a line that stretches throughout the entire store.
