Very tasty niche vegan restaurant in Proctor. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I can imagine this place would be my eat-out sanctuary if so. I had the burger and side salad. It was impressively delicious. I would choose this over meat in a blind test! Menu is very diverse which made it very hard to decide. The prices are understandable for all of the homemade components with high quality ingredients, but this will be more of a sporadic treat vs a regular stop in my week
I am celiac and always looking for a restaurant where I won't get sick after. What an awesome place and the food is incredibly delicious! I'm going to bring my gluten free daughter here soon!
Remarkable place. Excellent food, excellent service, food so good you can't tell it's gluten free! Started with the buffalo wings & hibiscus juice. (Cauliflower) wings smelled and tasted amazing. Had the Italian garden pizza with garlic drizzle & chickun alfredo pasta. All food was on point! You won't be sorry you tried it. Note: the food is super filling.
Only got the smores cheesecake and was disappointed in the size of it paid 10$ for the slice and I already have smaller hands so I just think for the price I should have gotten a little more. The actual cheesecake was good I'm not vegan but I am dairy free and hate when you can tell that something is dairy free, this tasted like normal cheesecake and was delicious. The marshmallows on top were not the best and had a weird grainy texture and very sugary taste but weren't awful. And the crust was good but fell apart very easily.
We stopped by to eat at Viva because we were running errands and needed a place to eat. The food was really good - it was not greasy or oily, and the menu was pretty extensive. We initially asked for a children's menu when we got seated, but was told there wasn't one. Then, our server told us there was a children's cheese pizza (not listed on the menu) which we ordered for our kid. There isn't much of a kid's menu here other than the plain cheese pizza, so if you go with kids, the options are limited for them. The pickle pizza we had was amazing, and I highly recommend it - especially if you're a pickle lover. It's very rich, and surprisingly a good combination with the cheese on the pizza! It was baked perfectly. Viva also has an amazing raw entree, the enchilada (or was it a lasagna? It was the only raw entree), which my partner enjoyed very much. I also recommend that highly! I took off a star because of the lack of a children's menu, and the high cost. It was close to $100 for 2 adults and 1 child. Otherwise, it's a great place to stop by, maybe once in a blue moon due to the prices.
Pure love. The food was delicious, and they had an unfiltered beer. It's a great vegan restaurant. The pizza was small but tasty. The service is good, very friendly and helpfull staff.
Update as I have gone back. The nachos supreme are definitely worth the extra price compared to the regular nachos. I will come back just for the nachos. The mushroom melt was also stellar. So happy to have so many vegan options here in tacoma.
I enjoy the food here but it's just gotten way way way too expensive. I certainly can't afford to come here much more than a couple of times a year because I just can't justify the value for the money. Maybe I'd feel differently if I were a celiac vegan, but I'm not, I'm a vegan who can eat gluten so there are much better-value choices around. Today I had the Grickle pizza and a lemon bar. The Grickle pizza was pretty good but the cheese had sort of a funny taste (nooch? I definitely prefer cashew cheese on pizza). The lemon bar was delicious and I think they have really great baked goods in general. On previous visits here, I've had their taco special and also their nachos, and I liked it but didn't love it -- I'm not sure Mexican food is their strong suit. I've also had their alfredo and enjoyed it. Atmosphere-wise, it's bright and clean and welcoming. Service was great. I would come here more often if they lowered their prices a bit.
The best vegan restaurant in Tacoma! Oh how I love raw vegan but not only that they have the comfort foods like nachos, Mac & cheese, mushroom dip, cauliflower wings. And if the entrees aren't enough check out their decadent display of desserts. From raw cheesecake, cookies, hummingbird cake, chocolate truffle cake, peanut butter bars. Service is very attentive! They're quick & friendly. Ambiance is good for large groups or intimate dates. A must try for vegans, plant based, flexitarians, carnivores, everyone!
