I cannot sing enough praises for the staff and the food and drinks at Kindred. I have been there four times now, and every time I am exceedingly more impressed with how awesome and friendly all the servers are and with how absolutely phenomenal all the food is. I highly recommend the palm hearts flatbread, the barbecue jackfruit sandwich, the Soul Crush entree, and the On Toast breakfast bread. I've been vegan for a few years now, and have had a chance to explore quite a few vegan restaurants. Kindred is by far my favorite out of anywhere I've been so far. Not only is it amazing vegan food, but it's just amazing food in general. Plus the vibe and the decor is just awesome, everything is so beautifully designed and the ambiance is that perfect mix of dressy and casual so you can show up in shorts and a t-shirt OR evening wear and neither one will make you feel out of place. Even if I wasn't vegan, this place would be a go to for me. It already is a go to whenever we're in town. Open a location in LA, please! I would be your first customer!!
A bit slow but everything s was perfect ! The food is amazing, i recommend The beet risotto. The seitan was really The best i have ever eaten, The cheese was so food and the cheesecake OMG ! Perfect !
Some friends and I had my birthday dinner here last night and it was my first experience here. I can say unequivocally that it was the best dining experience I’ve had and although I was the only vegan in the group everyone loved it! Excellent service, food, and drinks! It’s my new fave place...I’ll be back!
One of the best vegan restaurants in the country!! Had their brunch while visiting SD and was blown away. Extremely friendly staff and best decor for a restaurant I have ever seen.
Heard many great things about this place. I was still; however, not prepared for the reality of the awesomeness which is Kindred. Fiancé and I had out 1st anniversary brunch here and were more than pleased with every aspect of this place. Food, staff, atmosphere, clientele, neighborhood, food (did I say that already?), etc. Will definitely be returning to this establishment.
Fantastic selection of vegan food and very impressive bar assortment too! I am always appreciative of a dedicated section on a beverage menu for whiskey and scotch :) I love the subtle creativity in the artwork/design of the building and the the staff were all lovely. I would definitely go here again!

Who would have thought that heavy metal, Satanism and Vegans would pair so nicely together! Wow! This place was amazeballs! Food was beyond delicious! Server was really nice. People watching was epic! I will most definitely be back. This now tops my favorite place to eat. My only complaint and it's not really that much of a complaint is that I wish it were a tad bit warmer in there. Was very open so outside joins inside which was great but I was cold. Had the Soul Crush plate. Devine! And the shish kabob appetizers were heavenly!
The food is rad and super tasty...not healthy vegan but defintetly RAD VEGAN! This is a great place to take non vegan pals that you’d like to introduce “vegan food” to.
Food was amazing i enjoyed every bit. To start I got the skewers (Derrricious) and the Soul crushed for my main meal. However when I looked around I realized that none of these people listen to Metal (Hipsters) perhaps it was the time of day but don't expect to start a conversation on the subject with someone. Would I go back? Hell yes! The food is that damn good and I truly enjoyed my visit.
We finally made it up to Kindred after having gotten the recommendation months ago. We went for brunch and loved it. My husband had the biscuits with mushroom gravy and I had Hashes for the Mashes because SOY CURLS people. (An Oregon must have) Great Modern Times coffee, too. We loved everything about the place. Even sat under the giant wolf head. Can’t wait to go back to try the dinner and cocktail menu.
Visiting San Diego every couple months this place is always my first and last destination. Beautiful back bar and amazing cocktails. Staff and staff music picks are always choice
I was blown away by how delicious the food was at Kindred. you know a restaurants going to be good when they can do their vegetables correctly. I’m not a vegan, but I have to say everything was super delicious.
They also have Steakhouse Sundays For the whole month of November you can now enjoy premium Chunk Foods whole steaks
I literally couldn’t believe that these steaks were 100% plant based. They were so juicy and tender and packed full of flavor! Topped with lemon thyme butter and paired with creamy mashed potatoes and asparagus to create the perfect vegan steak experience.
.
Probably in my top three for best espresso martinis in San Diego, if you like chocolate and salt you HAVE to try their espresso martini. Everything we had was spectacular, definitely a favorite spot for cocktails especially waiting for Italian next door. Can't wait to come back!
This is a gorgeous location with great service and a fun set of food. The food is pricey, with portion sizes that vary from certainly shareable to single serving, without much indication on the menu, but the menu is seasonal and the flavors are fantastic and fun and product good quality. The service was attentive and helpful. Cocktails are innovative and reasonably priced, so try a cocktail hour here!
Contrary to some recent reviews, I felt the service was good. In fact, we unknowingly walked in just as brunch was closing and the hostesses spoke to the bartender to made sure we were still able to order food! Rating 4 stars since the food & drink was mediocre.
Absolutely loved the food here! If I lived in San Diego it would a regular hang out and I would bring all my friends! We started with the Gloom and Bloom fried mushrooms with this great dill sauce. Then we both had egg roll burger. It has all the ingredients of an egg roll along with the crispy shell and a chili aoli sauce. On a beyond burger. We finished with pumpkin roll for dessert but needed to share because dinner was filling. Funky place heavy metal style music and cool decor. Staff super friendly and helpful. We didn't have drinks but heard people getting interesting drinks.
This is my go-to spot anytime I'm in San diego. It's so good and everyone I bring here falls in love with it. The atmosphere is great and service is wonderful but the food and drinks are next level. They change the menu seasonally so it's always fun to try the new menu.
I went with a couple folks recently and we tried probably half the menu. Literally everything we got was delicious! My favorite was the egg roll burger but all the dishes were a hit. Would also highly recommend the carbonara, Caesar with chicken escalope, and charred remains. The Caesar is my favorite vegan Caesar I've found anywhere.
Creme brulee, garlic knots, Mac n cheese, and impossible skewers were really yummy too. The potatoes were really good but everything else was on another level so they seemed more standard by comparison.
Took myself out on a little date night and let me tell ya, the grilled cheese with the added patty and tomato soup paired with a glass of red wine 😮💨 I was in heaven for the 13 minutes it took me to enjoy this meal 😂 super friendly people, the staff has fun with what they do. Recommend this spot for a date night dinner something low key 👌🏽 sabbath playing in the background is a nice touch. Friendly with your dietary restrictions is a plus.
We visited with a group of friends and tried about different 10 cocktails between us all. We loved the goth/darker vibe and energetic atmosphere (very lively and fun), and the cocktails overall were decent and very well priced. I enjoyed all the combinations they put together, which tend to lean more tiki given all the flavourful fruits, but my one comment is that I found the drinks on the sweeter side. I prefer more tarte drinks, so this is my personal opinion. All said, I still recommend this place and enjoyed my experience—would recommend to others.

So freaking good. My partner is a cook and so we love trying new vegan places. This one blew us away, and has been the highlight of our trip (food wise). Every bit of the food is perfectly thought out. Between the melt in your mouth apples, to the just crisped bun, each texture compliments each other perfectly. The pancakes were so light but thick, and the butterscotch bourbon my goodness!! Even the gravy on the burger was being stellar, you don't need extra condiments. In fact you can happily eat the pancakes without syrup, but we wanted to try both and were glad we did. Go in expecting a great many flavours, but actually sir and savour them. The chefs here really think our their menu, this isn't your basic vegan food place. This is an experience of food.
Bonus is, the heavy metal music playing and the cute little gothic touches just make it so fun to look around and enjoy the atmosphere.
We are very much looking forward to going back since they change their menu seasonally. Go in and just enjoy, tip the staff and thank the chefs for their stellar work.
Wow! A must for any vegan. Whether you drink (it’s a bar) or not, this food is amazing! This is one of those places that a non-vegan would absolutely love and never know anything is vegan too. Staff was so nice, attentive, and gave great recommendations. If I’m ever back in San Diego, I’m coming back.

My first ever vegan bar experience definitely set the bar very high! My best friend and I stopped by after work for appetizers and refreshing drinks and this place didn’t disappoint. From the vibes, the amazing drinks, the lovely staff, and the tasty food, I’ll definitely be visiting again to try the entire menu.
There’s such a diverse drink menu - ranging from tastefully crafted cocktails to complex mock tails that will treat the DDs with something other than water. We loved our drink choices and I can definitely have five more of the Rainbow Warrior (responsibly of course).
In terms of food, we really weren’t expecting to be full after the two appetizers. I absolutely loved the Hearts of Artichoke flatbread moment. Texturally and flavor wise, the appetizer is a must order! Don’t forget to squeeze a lime over it :) The Skewers were such an adventurous choice for us and it left me genuinely mind blown. Words can’t even describe the flavor bomb you’d experience in your mouth. It’s definitely something you’d need to share as you might get tired of the texture!
Kindred was amazing. My wife is a vegetarian and loved the food here. The drinks were also beyond yummy.
It's my favorite restaurant hands down. Incredible creative seasonal menu, so there's a new surprise every time you go here. I'm vegetarian and alcohol free, so to find a restaurant where I can eat the entire menu and have plenty of options for drinks is a true wish fulfilled. They know exactly how to prepare meat substitutes. They're the best at it (seriously, try the seitan chimichurri skewers they currently have, you won't miss meat ever again).
Between the food, the aesthetic, and the service, you will be missing out if you don't come here. The best waitstaff at the prettiest classy punk restaurant. You're virtually walking into a different and better reality.
Also, Kiss of Steel. The best mocktail whether you're at brunch or on a date, it'll be your best friend.
I just love this place. I love the vibe the menu and the drinks. Their vegan menu is awesome always, my top favorite is the vegan Caesar salad and eating while sitting in the bar with some good craft beer. This is my second favorite Vegan restaurant in San Diego.
One of my favorite all around vegan restaurants in San Diego. Fantastic for a date night as they have excellent cocktails, and even better food. It's all vegan and if you're a fan of seitan, their skewers are insanely good. Wonderful texture and flavor. 💚🌱
If you’re looking for a cocktail bar with unique cocktails, absolutely go here! If you’re looking for the best vegan food you’ve ever had, go here! If you’re looking for the chillest most satisfying atmosphere, go here :)
Fantastic drinks and food. We had the late night menu and loved everything. The cosmo knots are a must try! Good vibes and unique theme as well.
Absolutely amazing. Such a great vibe and delicious vegan food. Everyone should go here

I had just come from visiting the parent company’s newest themed bar, Mothership, when I decided to head over here for a bite to eat.
While I knew Mothership was a vegan bar, I was surprised to learn that their older sister spot was one as well.
And you wouldn’t be able to tell really until you got inside to order. The drinks are pretty good though many on the sweet side they were still quite balanced and fresh.
The food itself was alright. I’m glad we’re all making strides in vegan cuisine but I still felt I was eating something I could pick up at the frozen food section at your local market. Tasty but not quite there yet.
Still the ambience and design of this place is gorgeous which is a mix of heavy metal and French boulangerie, or like the Italian Bottega Louis in DTLA.
As it is a corporately owned spot, they have a full menu of merchandise as well which includes some really nice mug ware if you’re into collecting what many call tiki mugs these days.
Overall I was impressed with this spot as well as where it’s situated in the city. You’d imagine it would be somewhere closer to downtown SD (like Craft & Commerce) but I’m glad it wasn’t.
I also really dig how they use old fantasy novels as their receipt holders.
