Higher Taste, Plant-Based

I would have given 5 stars if only the rice in my bowl wasn't just one big piece of stiky rice all together. Amazing smoothie, Vietnamese spring roll so good and fresh ingredients overall. Service not so fast but very sweet employee and polite :) Also, I feel it would be more sustainable using washable ceramic plates for dine-in as can be reused rather than the paper ones that, yes more sustainable, but will be thrown away and that's a lot of waste! And maybe choose straw without plastic wrap. Just a feedback! not part of my review.

I stopped by today for an açaí bowl. It was very tasty! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They easily accommodated a couple additions to my bowl. Excellent experience overall!

These are some of the best açaí bowls out there. Every time I come to this spot, I get great service and delicious food with great ingredients. Highly recommend.

This is my first visit to Higher Taste through my daughter's guidance. It was a rainy Thursday around lunch hour. The place was empty and there was only one lady behind the counter smiling at us. She gave us a warm greeting and showed us the menu on the counter, then patiently wait for us browsing before ordering. I ordered the jalapeno burger and a side of sweet potato fries. I considered the portion for the fries quite generous. They were slightly more salty to my taste but still great. The burger patty has a slight smokey taste. I have been a vegetarian for decades and I am not going to compare it with a real burger. I am willing to say I will take this any day over a Beyond burger patty. My lunch mate had a Thai Temple Bowl. I took a bit of the Thai peanut dressing for tasting and I say it has a good balance between the sweetness and nutty taste. Prices are quite reasonable given the recent bout of inflation and higher prices. Parking is paid street parking so it is a good opportunity to dispose of some of your quarters, and add to your daily step counts. As for recycling, I do not see separate bins, but they are using paper plates and bowls. I was studying and living in Long Beach decades ago. It is a delight to find this place as a tourist now. I definitely would recommend this place to my friends - vegetarians or not.

Bright and sunny. I used their community table for my working lunch. Quiet, friendly, and seriously, stunningly delicious food. I had the Hemp kale bowl with black beans. Amazingly smooth blend, with 2 servings of a fantastic sause. Macrame artist was crafting while I was there. Im returning!
