went to long beach and wanted to find something to eat and found this place on apple maps. me and my friend looked for parking for around 15 minutes which caused us to go in at 6:50 (the shop closes at 7) so we felt super bad about being those kinds of people. but when i stepped inside the cashier was so sweet and didn't make me feel like i intruded. the store is big and filled with cute items to buy like kitchen supplies, mugs, snacks, and other items. the cashier said that there's usually a lot that's open for parking but since it was already the evening it might've just closed. i ordered a BLT and a caprese sandwich. both were around $30 in total. i waited outside for my food, it took about under ten minutes. waiting outside was very nice because they share a patio with the mexican restaurant next door and the decor and seating is very decorated. after ten minutes i was brought my food and it was great! my friend said her sandwich was delicious and mine was as well. we're asked if we wanted the sandwiches toasted and with avocado and it definitely was the best part. they aren't greedy with the avocado at all! i found a new gem in long beach and i will be coming back next time! 10/10 service, food, and decor.
For my vegans and my non-vegans who just need a break from meat, this is a cool spot for sandwiches and goodies. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. I also ordered the Lemon Scone to-go. I really think the avocado really complemented the vegan meat in the sandwich. The bread was also a great pairing. The salad tasted very similar to non-vegan Caesar Salad. So that was tasty, as well. Service was great from India. She was super sweet. There's seating outside in the shared front patio of Sugar Taco. There isn't seating inside. However, there are lots of vegan and healthy snacks for purchase inside. There's free shared parking available in the apartment parking right next to the front. You drive in and park on your left side under the Sugar Taco/The Plant Butchers reserved parking signs.
LOCATION - Directly connected to Sugar Taco in Long Beach, The Plant Butchers is in the beginning section of a busy downtown area. Street parking is a little difficult but not too bad. The inside of the deli market is cute, spacious, and clean. Easy for take out or dine in (part of Sugar Taco). FOOD - I ordered the Chicken Parm, a side of Mac & Cheese, and a slice of Carrot Cake for dessert. Every single item is completely plant-based by the way! The Chicken Parm was delicious and flavorful! The breading was crispy but the sandwich itself does come with a lot of tomato sauce and mozzarella so it did become soft quickly. The Mac & Cheese was okay for me but I was told they're revamping the recipe, which is nice to know. For me, the Carrot Cake was the best thing especially to end the meal. It was soft, not overly sweet, had the right amount of walnuts and frosting - it was fantastic! SERVICE - Everyone was so nice and helpful. This is the kind of service you'd want to have everywhere!
This butcher's shop turns meat into veggies?!?! Yup! It's true and you will be so amazed that ! Mind blown! This spot may sway you to become a vegan because at @theplantbutchers , they are butchering vegetables to the point that will fool any crazy carnivore like myself. My Chikin Parmesan Sandwich was fking delicious that charmed me to go for back to back bites. I had no idea veggies transformed could taste this fabulous. My Caesar salad was topped with capers that gave me the zing I needed but wasn't a fan of the dressing. But the carrot cake was so good that my mom took one bite and told me to stop eating it and said it was hers. She is so silly but she didn't let me take anymore bites. Just gotta buy more next time. Parking is easy because you can park at the garage for FREE! Inside the Plant Butchers, they also offer cute retail and snacks item. It's worth checking out!
When you're left saying I can't believe it's vegan that's how you know a vegan place is doing something right and that's exactly what is going on here. I stopped by bumping around downtown Long Beach. The chicken Parmesan sandwich caught my eye and I'm really glad they told me to try it because it was really delicious. Great sauces, great flavor and a great sandwich. I can't believe it's not vegan! Everyone here is really cool. They have a chill vibe, just take sometime to sit outside on the patio and soak It in. I could almost swear it felt 15° cooler in their shady patio. Worth checking out if you're in the area.
Super great aesthetics and amazing food choices It's lent season so we are looking for more vegan options Service was also awesome
I like how spacious it is! The prices are very affordable! I love their delectable sweets! Their cheezes are yummy and the lowest is $5! Another vegan staple in LB. I'm curious as to how their inventory will grow greater and greater!
