This restaurant has been open since 1980, a year before I was born, making it an early birthday gift for me. I love that they have been focusing on health-promoting food since before I became vegan in 1996. I recently visited this place, which is now my favorite, as I have been living in South Bay since 2019. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I suggest starting with an appetizer, the vegan cheese was particularly impressive. The food has a homemade quality that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The restaurant offers a beautiful view near the beach. Just be aware that they only accept cash. I could happily eat here ev...
We have eaten here a few times but revisited recently. This restaurant has been around since the 1980s so must be doing something right but I agree with some of the other reviewers. Sometimes the food can seem tasteless and I think in general it’s quite heavy. Everybody is laid back and the service/ambiance are adequate but not outstanding. It’s not fully vegan and they do serve dairy cheese and eggs in some dishes. I hate that they use plastic straws. It’s definitely worth a try and they do have vegan desserts.
I believe menu says all can be made vegan, some options have real cheese. Love the range of choices, we decided to try the chili and cornbread. Cornbread was a little dry and chili was lacking depth of flavor but I would come back to try another dish! Minimal outside seating too. Also, waitstaff had to “chase us down” after we paid via Venmo (we waited after paying and nobody came back out for a while so we left) to confirm the purchase which was kind of uncomfortable.
A nice place for lunch. We had the chilli burger which was very tasty. Nice that it comes with steamed veggies instead of chips as we really fancied something healthy. Nice friendly waiting staff. Near hermosa beach so a nice location to wander over if having a beach day.

I have been dining at The Spot for years and have never been let down. It is one of my preferred restaurants in the area. Recently, I placed a takeout order and picked it up on my way home. The portions are large - usually one order is enough to provide two meals for me.
The spot is a classic and I would eat here every day if I could. Their savory sauce, herb vinaigrette, and bread are the best. They even offer a cookbook. Updated from previous review on 2019-10-05
There are plenty of options to choose from at this restaurant, but the standout for me was the dessert menu. It was a noticeable improvement from my last visit in September 2022.
Really cute restaurant. I had high expectations for the food but was disappointed. The apple cider is good.

The Spot rocks! I’m a big fan of the breakfasts and desserts, but it’s all great. I like to sit outside.
Menu describes what is gluten free. Savory sauce is similar to the tofu sauce at green temple.
