Immigrant Café

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. If I lived here, I would be a regular!

Great vegan food

Just ate at Avo in Carlsbad, Ca. Wow! All home made sauces just delicious food. I had the Avo bowl and my husband had the Fiesta bowl, both were really good. Don’t forget a cookie before you go.

HAPPY with Happy Cow!

The Happy Cow App is so handy for finding your way around where ever you are, to delicious vegan food! It makes navigating the restaurant world so much easier and friendlier for someone who wants to make compassionate choices. I don’t know what I would do without it!

Great for travel

I’m going to Lisbon soon and this app has been so handy to plan where I can get vegan eats.

Difficult to search in a different city

This app used to work perfectly, but now I can’t seem to search in a city not near me.

Great resource!

This is a wonderful resource for folks who might be traveling to an unfamiliar area, or for people looking to try a new spot that they didn’t even know was in their community! I would give it five stars, but for the fact that you constantly have to double check hours, as the real ones often don’t match what’s on the app.

Great but needs some work

I have used this app countless times to find vegan options in areas where it would otherwise be challenging, but one thing needs improvement. It is very annoying to look for a place to go to lunch only to be swarmed with places that are preorder, delivery or take out only. Please add an option to filter for dine in only. Otherwise, outstanding app.

Life saver

This app is a life saver especially for someone like me. A vegan that does a lot of traveling and eating out.

Been using this app for patients and myself

I have sent almost 3 decades of patients all over the world to eat healthy. It’s the best out there, even in more remote areas. A ++

Could be better

In conjunction with Google maps, this is great. My main complain is that if you submit a carnist restaurant listing, it takes literally months for them to publish it. This is fine for large cities like NYC, LA, Boston, etc since there is an abundance of vegan places there so who cares about eating at carnist places? But in tiny towns it’s crucial to have listings like that published fast, because the options are usually very limited, so it’s good to know if you can go somewhere or if you have to

Great app!

We just spent 4 weeks in Europe. This app helped us find marvelous food in out of the way places. We enjoyed the adventure of discovering delicious vegan restaurants. From burgers to elegant meals. The downside was that we would walk to a restaurant just to find out they were no longer open. At times we used Google to find foods and restaurants that should have been listed in Happy Cow. Overall, we love Happy Cow, because it is so universal! Thank you, Happy Cow!

Great place for vegan and gluten free food

It’s often hard to find gluten free food even when I’m a vegan place. Kalbi has both!! Their vegan and gf tacos are delicious and I believe anyone would like them. I live in another city but have eaten here several times when visiting. I’ve made it a regular stop and am already looking forward to eating there again!

Best App!

I love this app. It is a quick and easy way to find either vegan, vegetarian, or veg friendly places near by to eat at. I have found some amazing places with this app all over the United States.

Use it all the time

Where ever we go we use Happy Cow to find a place to eat. Also good for when we are with a group of mixed eaters and need to find a place for everyone to enjoy. Love it!

Good resource

App is a great resource for finding information on options available at the restaurant. A few tweaks to the interface would make it easier to use. I personally don't agree with limiting 5-star ratings only to restaurants that are 100% vegan or vegetarian as this results in a misleading rating ; the rating should be based on actual service, options, and quality of food not based on what else they have that patrons won't be ordering.

Best food app for vegans

The only good app I really trust for vegan food recommendations! Love being able to see reviews from other vegans who have already checked out restaurants in the area you are going. Use it every single time I travel!

So useful

Great app for vegan eating

Literally a life saver!

Whether local where I live or when I travel, Happy Cow is my go-to source for sustenance to save me time and frustration when seeking vegan foods. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have this resource!!!

Word minimum

Love the app, don’t appreciate the word minimum. I just want to say “try the vegan chicken sandwich” and leave my review. I just end up deleting my review when it won’t submit.

Great for travelers

I depend on HappyCow to find restaurants when I travel. Very usual in a new city. We have done great finds. I live the historical record of our visits. Nice to see what I ordered previous visits. My only complaint, takes several (3-4) minutes my phone to respond when I click “add photo.”

Southern CA

Very helpful. Many options.

Great app but it hasn’t worked in months

This app used to work consistently for years but hasn’t in months. It never loads results for any location, from any location, whether if I’m on wifi or not. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled so many times. Everything loads except for results so I just stopped using it all together.

Excellent app!

Happy Cow is the best app, especially when travelling.

Japan

We are in Japan from Tokyo to Kyoto and the Happy Cow app has saved us!! Spot on and delicious choices. Arigato Gozaimasu!

No landscape layout for iPad

I use the app. It’s pretty useful overall. But it’s useless on the iPad, as the display is sideways. People mostly use iPads in landscape mode. Please add a layout to support this.

Wonderful app but how do we redeem points?

I have enough points to gift this app to a friend but it’s not clear how I would go about that. Love this app for many reasons but some of the functions are not intuitive!

BawseQueen

I love the app and have used it traveling out of the country. Sometimes it is disappointing to goto places that are not truly vegan. Otherwise this is my goto especially when I travel.

Best App 4 Vegan & Vegetarians

I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life and found this app about 10 years ago. It is the absolute best app. I use it whenever I travel to find the best vegan restaurants. I’m on my second year of becoming vegan and this app helped me transition. I’ve loved almost every place I’ve tried. This community has great taste in restaurants and pretty much only post 4 and 5 star restaurants. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to eat healthier!

Filters could be improved

I really love this app so much! The only thing is I wish there was a way to denote which non-restaurant places (coffee shops, bakeries, etc) do not have meat. The fully vegetarian places seem to be in the same category as the "some vegetarian options" places. This adds a lot of extra detective work for someone who only goes to fully vegetarian or vegan places.

Handy

I like using this app when traveling, but I wish it had a whole foods plant based designation, and not just vegan.

Great resource with dumb rating rules

I love having the resource but the rating system is bad. If a place isn’t fully vegan it can only get a 4 star. Why punish people for trying? If a place is fully vegan, it has to get a two star minimum. I had the worst meal of my life and couldn’t give it one star. This leads to misrepresented ratings and bad experiences. A better practice would be to allow people to rating places fairly and add a gold cow or something for full vegan places that you can filter on if you so desire. These places c

Helpful Plant Based App!

Easy to navigate app that helps us find good eats on the road and around our neighborhood.

Like yelp for vegetarians

This makes finding food a snap! I love using it when I travel-even where there are fewer options, im still able to eat great! Veggies unite!

Helpful but rating system is misleading

You can only give dedicated vegan restaurants five stars. I think this is misleading. We had an unforgettable meal at a restaurant that also serves animal products. The cover of the menu advertised vegan options, which were extensive. The staff was knowledgeable. And we were able to eat outside with our dogs. I would hate to discourage vegans from patronizing such establishments if they only see four stars. We need to bring these restaurants our business so they continue to see the benefit of ca

Purple Cow Hot Springs

The service is was great, the Beyond Burger comes plain with lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions on the side. Mustard and ketchup are provided in the table, but you can add Mayo if you want. The Soy Shakes were outstanding! We all had strawberry, and it did not disappoint!! Wish they would come to Mississippi!!

Yelp for Vegans

This app is a life saver as I’ve traveled but even just locally, it’s been so amazing to have a reference to find new vegan spots and support the community 💚

Lifesaver!

No matter where I travel, I can count on this app to find great vegan food. So grateful! I’ve found amazing vegan restaurants and options in Switzerland, Austria, France, Japan, and the US.

Helpful but…

There’s restaurants in the strictly vegan section that clearly serve meat. There needs to be a better way to weed out these places. Unless they’re paying to be featured on the app. If that’s the case, then it’s hypocritical to have an app like this.

My go to travel app

I use the happy cow app whenever we’re traveling ; it’s a great app & has helped me find some awesome vegan restaurants that I otherwise would not have known about 🌻

Falls city pub at Ohiopyle state park

Several vegetarian and vegan options with great service and awesome beer selection. Great to place to unwind after hiking or rafting.

Amazing ressource

This app is priceless! Thank you thank you! Helping save so many lives, and feeding others ♥️

So convenient!!

This makes finding vegan food ANYWHERE so easy and accessible! Love you Happy Cow!!

Convenient

Whenever I travel I immediately use this app and always find amazing vegan spots!💚

Good food, cool bar

Tried the cheeseburger and fries, very tasty. Forgot to ask what the patty was made from, tasted meaty, was kind of crumbling and messy but very tasty, exactly what you want from a pub style cheeseburger.

So Useful!

I have been Vegan for nearly 10 months now, and this app makes my transition to plant based eating so much easier. Thank you!
