    Love this place, it offers an amazing vibe with quality food. The place is vegan and they have plenty of good food options to choose from, tried their burrito bowl and loved it. The staff is nice and the service is great, would definitely come back.

    This place is AMAZING. All their food is crafted with such care, bursting with exciting flavor. Come here for a farm-to-table feel, and a great culinary adventure. Great place to meet up with friends for dinner too, as they have outdoor fire pits and heat lamps. We were cozy even in the heart of winter. Get anything on the menu! It was all fantastic. The cauliflower wings were a table favorite for us!

    We were looking forward to trying this restaurant. My son had been here before and said it was good. We came when my son was in town as a treat. We were very disappointed. They are trying too hard to be like a regular restaurant. There are a lot of deep fried foods on the menu many of them geared to mimic chicken, beef or fish. The food was bland. I was looking for a dish that stood on it's own, not one that was supposed to taste like meat. In addition the service was awful. They only had 2 servers to cover the entire restaurant, which was completely full. The server never came back to our table to check on us to see if we needed anything. It took what seemed like forever to get our check and just as long to pay for our food. Definitely do not recommend this restaurant.

    Completely disappointed with the food taste. It took them 35 minutes to sit us down. They said 30 minutes wait and after hearing them seat down parties of two without reservation we went to the hostess and she sat us immediately. She was obviously making mistakes with the list and waiting time. We were disappointed with the menu. It is limited and repetitive, basically the same thing but in a bowl or a tortilla. Ended up getting nachos and a breakfast bowl, both were just plain. Tasteless. We’re not going back to this place and I do not recommend it. We ordered a brownie Sunday and it seemed like they used ROTTEN coconut milk, it was bitter and horrible tasting. We didn’t finish it. The coconut beer was awesome, they would do better just sticking to the brewery.

    I've had Take Out as well as Dine-In. Every time is an exquisite experience!! 👌🏽 💕🙏🏽😴😫🙌🏽😰 Their Menu has great varieties of items to enjoy. They're Vegan 🍃 and no matter what you order; Your body will Appreciate it!! On this particular review; I posted my Brazilian Bowl that I had ordered for take out!! The video doesn't do it much justice!! You have to see it, try it and smell it in person to understand why I'm kind of Obsessed w/ it. ** I happen to work across the st from it, and I promise, I need to find another job far from Sage Bistro because this scrumptious temptation is getting the best of me!! I'm literally OBSESSED!! 😫💕

    A nice, happening vegan restaurant. I've gone twice. Each time has been good—plenty of options. A little pricey, but I think justifiable with the portions & atmosphere. The food is good; so far haven't had anything outstanding. I was so happy about the lasagna since I've only had a handful of times since I went vegan. Many drink options, alcoholic & none alcohol. Service has been okay. Restrooms are a little tricky since they don't have their own. It's shared restrooms with the other businesses.

    Great place to try if you are vegan or vegetarian. They have quite extensive menu and drinks menu as well. The esthetic outside as well as interior is on point. Great place to meet up with friends or just hang over the weekend. Ordered miso bowl and it came with two sauces. The food they serve is quality and healthy. Definitely worth spending money just for the vibe and healthy dishes.

    Delicious , yes veggies are delicious !, plus a good beer and you have a great spot for after work meals , and celebrations . Love the nachos, noodle salad and orange bowl . Didn’t care for the mole bowl but that’s might be because it was a bit bland for my taste. Overall a great meals that leave me bloated , left me full and probably will help me stay regular :)

  • 5/5 Timothy M. 7 months ago on Google
    Everything on the menu looked good. Went with the sausage and onion pizza and Refresher to drink. Also tried the seasonal veggie curry-at first i was hoping it had more zucchini/squash/peppers but it was still excellent.

  • 5/5 M. R. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent first time experience here! So nice to find an upscale all vegan restaurant that feels like a date night destination. All the food was great, the atmosphere was very pleasant and our server Matthew was friendly and helpful with recommendations. I highly recommend the fried artichoke appetizer and farmer's lemonade! So so good. I really enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli, which was totally different than anything I've ever had. Very unique, flavorful and filling. Definitely would love to come back and try everything on the menu. Even my non-vegan partner really enjoyed it. A must try place! (Just be aware that that there are upscale prices as well.)

    This is the second location I’ve been too. I’ve tried something different every time and everything has been really really really good so far. This time it was the lasagna and the eggplant Parmesan, both were great. Also got one of the wellness shots which was really good too. Good costumer service, food was served fast even though it was relatively busy. Thanks again for a really good experience.

  • 5/5 Cor B. 11 months ago on Google
    Being Vegan this place is really good. Have been to the Echo park location and decided to try Pasadena next. We just shared a bunch of appetizers.. Stand outs were the 3 wing platter, Jackfruit Stuffed Avocado, Esquites, and Fried Artichoke Hearts. Unfortunately the Pozole Rojo was bland at this location. Tried it at Echo park and it was really good so maybe different cook different tastes.. also they served it with lettuce on the side this time which was a first. Overall great experience will come back.

  • 5/5 LaKaya B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my second time eating at Sage. Both times everything has been delicious, and hot. The vibe and staff have been great. Sorry I forgot pics of my entrées. I’ve eaten the Mole Bowl and Wild Blueberry Pancakes both were excellent!

  • 5/5 Mark L. 8 months ago on Google
    I am very happy to have a whole restaurant which provides 100% vegan alternatives to classic American grub. I brought regular meat-eaters with me and they left happy and impressed. Personally I was happy with the breakfast burrito though I could do with far less salt. I plan to come back to try other dishes.

  • 5/5 Jen L. 7 months ago on Google
    We enjoyed the food here very much and loved walking around town afterward. It’s located in a cute courtyard and our friends were able to bring their fur babies because they had plenty of outdoor seating. Service was great and the gelato looked very legit. They didn’t have the large mounts with nuclear color gelatos- it looked very tasty. There were plenty of vegan options here and healthy choices too with lots of fresh squeezed juices.

    In Pasadena, California, for the day. Tried Sage Plant Based Bistro. The food is off the chain, and the portions are massive. All had great flavors and arrived at the table hot. Just try it. Take your wallet and some cash. Trust me, you're gonna need it. Mac and cheese, califlower wings to start. The wife had a Miso Rainbow bowl, and the adult child had a Brazilian bowl. I tried the Cali avacado Pesto Burger as our main dishes. The dessert was next. We shared a brownie sundae and peanut butter chocolate cake. I topped it off with a hot apple cider to drink. It was all good. Just take a big appetite and enjoy fresh, locally grown food. Watch the video they have playing. Support this restaurant if you can.

    We had a brunch time this Sunday and we really enjoyed the savory dishes. We are not used to eat vegan and we were not disappointed. My favorite dish was the 3 wings platter!

  • 4/5 Coy T. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the concept, design and most of the flavors but execution was a bit off. Most dishes were too salty. Buffalo cauliflower was delicious and cooked well. Farm pizza ingredients were fresh but the dough was soft and undercooked. Loaded nachos were too salty and the chips were stale. Even my $10 beer was flat. Wait was 40 min and highly recommend checking in on Yelp. Had to wait outside in the scorching sun. Service was friendly. Restrooms are a hassle to go upstairs.

  • 4/5 Christina S. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here after several reviews raved about their gluten free food. I have to admit, I was excited to try it and it mostly lived up to the hype. Anytime I can get friend gluten free food it's a win, but I was disappointed that the "wings" tasted slightly freezer burned and were a tad soggy so I ate around those parts. My coconut milk latte was way sweeter than anticipated which wasn't my favorite. The service was really good and the locations is so cute. They do validate your parking if you are in certain lots like the schoolhouse garage.

  • 5/5 Evelyn N. 2 years ago on Google
    Got us a oat latte and a 24k oat charcoal latte. The 24k oak charcoal latte was a hit. It is different. Just enough sweet, but not overwhelm to kill the coffee taste. Staff was patiently explained their drink A+. A must visit location

  • 4/5 May K. 1 year ago on Google
    What we ordered? Baja Avocado Tacos, Eggplant Barbacoa Tacos, and Brazilian Bowl. I treated the girls on my team to lunch here last month. We sat outside on the patio which was quiet and not busy when we arrived. The food was fresh and arrived quick. This restaurant is all vegan and has a variety of options to choose from. We ordered tacos and a bowl. The tacos were a bit messy and were easier to eat with a fork. The portions are large and definitely left us feeling full! I plan on coming back soon and trying some of their other options. There is so much to choose from and it is amazing it is all plant based!

  • 4/5 Annette G. 2 years ago on Google
    The cauliflower wings were delicious. The burrito was good. I didn't think is worth $18 or whatever it was that I paid. I have eaten here before. I should have picked something else from the menu this day. The tacos were ok.

  • 5/5 Erica T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service. The service was friendly the food was good. I'm not vegan or vegetarian and I must say the food was great! A must try is the mac and cheese. It was so creamy and good! I had the lasagna and the spicy margarita. I will for sure come back.

  • 5/5 Joni H. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow!!! Plant based deliciousness that does not disappoint. We popped in for happy hour and left super full and happy. The loaded nachos (try the mole!) and buffalo cauliflower were excellent. The drinks and beers were great too.

  • 5/5 Diana D. 1 year ago on Google
    Gourmet vegan food. I loved the gluten free sweet potato pancakes. My daughter had the breakfast tacos. Pretty outdoor dining patio. Definitely recommended. Couple nights ago my daughter had the potato /broccoli ravioli she said was super good and I had substituted due to food allergies and loved the quinoa black bean bowl. Pretty darn good!

  • 5/5 Barry G. 2 years ago on Google
    On the road, hard to get good vegan sometimes. This little gem tucked back in the alley was a great delight! I got the Florentine and it was the perfect breakfast. Well, I'm actually on Eastern time so it was second breakfast. Delicious food, excellent service. Parking might be a challenge, I parked in the"commercial loading only 24 hours" zone because it was Sunday and everybody else was parking there too. Next time I'm in LA I will definitely be back.

    Great food, great atmosphere. Didn't know you could do so much with plants.

  • 4/5 Jose V. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the first time visiting and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I really enjoyed my Cali Avocado Pesto Vegan burger, it's a Tempeh burger with avocado, tomato, onion, arugula, garlic aioli and pesto on a whole wheat bun. My wife got the Taco Salad. She enjoyed it, but the jalapenos made it really spicy. Every day of the week is a different alcohol special for the summer. If you want something different or just trying to increase your diet with a healthy meal or two, then definitely put this on your list of places to eat.

  • 3/5 Ana M. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst service ive ever experienced. Hot day monday noon stood by the door for 10 minutes and we had to yell hello for someone to come and greet us. We sat at the table no one came to put cup for us so we can drink water. We had to ask for it. Asked for a certain drinks and they hd no info to give us. We had to show a picture from yelp. The champagne they got us had no bubbles it sat out for along time and we had to ask for another one. The food was good the interior is cool.

  • 5/5 Julie M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing I had the Buffalo wings and I had this Delicious pasta with plenty of Vegetables I love the taste. From the waiters to the whole staff it was a wonderful experience I give this more than a 5 star rating if I could! P.S. I had their Vacation ice cream and glazed donut. Both delicious! Smiles all around!

  • 4/5 Zavier H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very tasty food at this restaurant. So glad that they are all plant based so you can pretty much order anything. Their brunch was very delicious. Only feedback would be if they could offer more sides for brunch and of the sides listed weren't as great as the main meal was. Staff is extra friendly and were able to answer all my questions about the menu. Very pretty outdoor dinning court yard that was very scenic as you eat. Overall great place to try out.

  • 3/5 Chef C. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower platter, the ban might sandwich, the burger, one of the veggies pizzas & a $16 tiny full of ice mint & pineapple Margarita. The food was good overall but the server was giggly & absolutely clueless. Service was rather slow. Fun location with a lady dj outside. They really need better service.
