Wonderful brunch experience. Even though the line to order went out the door, it moves fast, and there is a ton of seating inside. Great coffee drinks, and a fun menu with a Burmese twist, including house-made gluten-free pastry options. I had the Big Breakfast Plate -- excellent. All the servers were kind, helpful and polite. Highly recommended.

A MUST! we come here every time we visit Ojai. The food is fantastic. It tastes fresh and is bursting with flavor. Some of our faves are mushroom goat cheese tacos, breakftast burrito, avocado toast with chickpeas. Oh the pizzas are really great too. They have plenty of gluten free, vegan options in both the savory dishes and sweets. I cancelled my reservation at an expensive restaurant in town to go to this place one last time before we left town.

If you have a nut allergy, do not go here. I have a severe tree nut allergy and ordered the souk salad. If you look at all the other items on their menu, you'll see they mark items if they're gluten free, spicy, etc. I am aware that vegan restaurants will use nut substitutes, but in every other restaurant I have been to -- they will always, always note if there are nuts in a menu item. After all, it is one of the most common allergies in the world. The souk salad did not have any indication of nuts; one particular ingredient was called 'herb cheese.' So, I thought things were all good, until I had a few bites and went into anaphylactic shock. As I was in the bathroom, my friends spoke with the cashier. They found out the 'herb cheese' was entirely made of cashews (tree nut), and the cashier was quite slack about it. My friends were the ones who asked her, "Aren't you going to give her (me) a new salad?" And that's when the cashier got on that. I was in their bathroom for several hours before going to the hospital (yes I should've gone sooner, but I have never experienced an allergic reaction this severe, so I didn't know.) I also passed out on the sidewalk outside their restaurant, and when I came to, I went inside to inform the cashier that I passed out and puked outside due to a reaction to their food, they didn't do anything about it. There was one kind worker who, at the tail end of my experience, said "Hey, the previous workers didn't treat you very well. Let's give you your money back." As for my ER experience, thanks to my insurance, I *only* had to pay a $415 for my co-pay, epipen, and medication. I have never written a Google review in my life, but here we are. I have no deep resentment toward Hip Vegan or the workers there. But, their menu was wrong, I could have died, and they were arguably complacent about that...and I had to pay quite a bit of money for it all at the end of the day. It was a lovely restaurant and great environment, but yeah. Don't go here if you have a nut allergy.

The cauliflower tacos are delicious! They’re vegan and gluten-free. We also loved the vegan caesar salad, the kids’ rice bowl, and the poke bowl. In addition to cocktails, beer, and wine, there are a few nonalcoholic selections (I liked the cherry lime fizz). Next time I’m in town I’ll be back to eat more cauliflower tacos!

I would recommend that the staff become more educated on what meats and ingredients are actually gluten free or not, it's important. The girl who took my order did not know which then made me order safer which ended up meaning ordering less which means they also lost out on more money. So I make this recommendation to educate your employees not only for the well-being of your customers, but for your business as well. The gluten free tortilla there is super tasty. I ordered the Power burrito and wasn't asked if I wanted pinto or black beans or Mexican rice or brown rice- so if you have a preference, be sure to speak towards it because you may not get prompted and forget to say something like I did.
