Vegetarian Restaurants and Stuff in San Diego

As a vegan living in San Diego I've developed a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of local vegetarian restaurants for dining out, or where to buy produce to eat in.

Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants in San Diego 

Jyoti Bihanga
In Normal Heights
Standard veggie food, which isn't common in San Diego. All vegetarian and vegan menu. Try the "Neat Loaf".
Ranchos Cocina Mexican and Vegetarian Cuisine
In North Park and Ocean Beach
A huge menu of Mexican favorites, not all vegetarian. Try the soy chorizo burrito.
Pokez
In East Village
Great Mexican food, not all vegetarian, funkier and smaller than Ranchos. Try the tofu fajitas.
Sipz
In Clairemont and Sorrento Valley
Asian Fusion, mostly vegan, all vegetarian, try the "Chicken" with Basil.
Vegan Zone
In Pacific Beach
Asian Fusion/Thai, all vegan. Try the Buddha's Delight.

Buying Produce in San Diego 

Henry's Marketplace
All over SD
A big produce section in every store, always some fantastic produce specials. A smaller organic section.
Ocean Beach People's Organic Foods Co op
In Ocean Beach
If you live anywhere OB you have to try People's! Tons of great organic, and no stinky fish or meat counter.
Whole Foods Market
In Hillcreat and La Jolla
The national chain has some fantastic eats for vegetarians. Pricey, but top notch stuff!
Jimbo's ...Naturally!
In Carlsbad, Del Mar Heights, Escondido
If you are up in North County you have to try Jimbos. It's a lot like Whole Foods.
Windmill Farms
In Del Cerro
A lot like Henry's, but just one store - not a chain. If you are near SDSU try Windmill. I live near this store, so I go there once or twice a week.
SD Farmers Markets
All over SD
If you live near a farmers market these are great to add to your shopping schedule. Some of the best are Hillcrest, Ocean Beach, and La Jolla.

Other Veg Things in SD 

All Vegan
In University Heights
How great is this! A store just for Vegan stuff like shoes, accessories, belts, slogan t-shirts, candles, chocolate, and more.
Stephanie's Bakery
In Ocean Beach (near the OB Coop)
A great bakery with vegan strudel and cakes. Also now making vegan pizza and sandwiches.
Southern California Vegan Restaurant Map
This is my own map of vegan eateries in Southern California. I started with San Diego, but added a few of my favorites up in LA. It's pretty complete for the San Diego locations.
San Diego Vegetarian Restaurant Map
This is my own map of Vegetarian Restaurants in San Diego. Most of these are not just vegetarian, so it's a good "survival map" especailly if you are eating with non-veggies.
