San Diego is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Diego follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I've always walked by Grains and finally stopped in to try lunch on a Friday afternoon. I tried one of the chef's specials pad krapow with chicken and it was so delicious! I think they just started serving meat and used to be a fully vegan restaurant. Staff is friendly. Would highly recommend!

A charming vegan spot with the most delightful yellow-toned interior—it instantly lifted my mood. The atmosphere felt warm, playful, and thoughtfully designed. Every dish I ordered was genuinely delicious, and even the coffee, which I hadn’t expected much from, turned out to be surprisingly excellent. If you visit, you simply must try the garlic butter mushroom toast—it was absolutely outstanding and easily the highlight of the meal.

Yummy. Each dish was super tasty. The Panang curry was fantastic with the mock chicken. The chicken looks like real chicken and tricked my boyfriend. He knew this place was vegan but didn’t believe it cuz it looked like torn breasts we would have normally. Cute decor, bright, a little chilly which was nice. Tea, coffee, beers, cocktails. We didn’t try brunch but will be back.

Went to the pre soft opening of Grains on Adams ave. Saw the post from friends on IG. We had the a few of the new items and it was delicious. It’s the weekend menu for now brunch 12-3 pm. Not sure if it will be all day menu in the future.great quaint spot friendly environment, chill spot. Will definitely return. We usually go to Madi but I can say the wait is much less and the foods and drinks are above par.

First time here. Very pleased with the atmosphere and the timing of our arrival. Started getting busy after we arrived the menu has so many choices and they list everything on the menu including allergenic food and gluten-free options. You will not be disappointed. Save the flavor and also make sure to get one of their signature drinks. It will be a place to remember. ✨️👌🏾💯
