Oasis Vegetarian Cafe in Riverside

Let me start off by saying that when I tried this place about 9years ago it wasn’t good. I moved to Portland, OR for those 9 years and came back. My sis and I decided to give them another chance. And OMG! I am so glad I did. What I had was so delicious and super healthy, it changed my perspective about them. I’ve tried their burger with the Oasis patty, mushrooms, and turmeric aioli. As well as their chickn burger, taquitos de papa and jackfruit. I always make it a combo with their baked potato wedges and ginger spritz. For dessert my go to is their chocolate cake. So if you’re in the La Sierra Riverside area, don’t hesitate to check them out!

A Gem at some place we never expected, just happened to be here Nice food, vegan / vegetarian but reasonable price compared to other places. We found rarely seen Jackfruit here. And many items that you dont find in a vegetarian restaurant in the US. Great food, great place, great people. Attached store is also great!!Hope more people go here to keep this place running

A wonderful eatery with a robust selection of healthy and insanely delicious vegan food. The bowls and tacos are my go-to. The pupusas and burgers are also incredible. Honestly its hard to choose because the menu is so extensive, and they always have a bunch of additional specialsFor most dishes you can choose your protein: grilled tofu, seitan carnitas, pulled jackfruit, Just Egg or a veg burger. All the proteins are homemade, so even for someone like me who is not big on meat substitutes, the seitan carnitas and pulled jackfruit taste like real food.Thankfully, Oasis went 100% vegan in 2021 after serving eggs and dairy for many years. They now use all plant-based cheese and creams.The food here rivals the best of LAs plant-based foodie spots. I live 25 minutes away and I make a point of stopping here whenever Im in the area.My experience with the burritos is that theyre kinda small.The seating atmosphere is a very casual cafe style, nothing fancy. Bring layers, it can be cold and the indoor seating area is not well heated either.Oasis is attached to La Sierra Natural Foods but is a totally separate business. When Im there I usually stop in to La Sierra which is great for bulk goods, plant-based meats, and lots of specialty vegan items that are hard to find elsewhere. Their produce section never seems very good.

The food is incredible the staff is super friendly. As a bonus the Girl who took my last order had really really pretty 😍 eyes and a sweet voice ( she was wearing a mask unfortunately but I can only imagine) ok back to the review. The food is delicious they are now 100 % vegan. Every thing on the menu is delicious. O have tried their bowls and their soups and their jackfruit tacos they are super yummy

I drove from Highland to visit this place and IMHO it was not worth the 45 minute drive. I love health food stores so I really enjoyed the fact that they are attached to La Sierra Health Foods. I ordered a jack stack aka jack fruit nachos, they were really bland. The jack fruit had no seasoning, the plate made for a nice picture but that’s it.The wait was quite excessive especially considering the fact that we were the only ones there. Thankfully I was able to pass the time in the health food store. Call ahead orders are accepted and apparently an absolute necessity. I’d certainly have to be in the area to patronize this place again.They offer indoor and outdoor seating along with plenty of parking.

This place is phenomenal. First, it’s located in a quiet little sleepy corner of riverside that is so peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of parking. The staff is very polite and although service was slow, I understand that’s not the norm so didn’t take stars off. It’s clean with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. It has a big menu with good variety, and I want to try everything on the menu. The food is AMAZING. I had a bowl and it was super fresh and tasty - their tofu is killer. I also had the corn which was very yummy. Oh, and the vanilla vegan ice cream sandwich, forget about it! So good! Overall it was a great value and I will definitely be back.

This was my second time coming to the Oasis Vegetarian Cafe and this time I brought a friend with me and this was her first time coming. I got the taco jackfruit bowl and she got the regular jackfruit bowl and the food was so delicious, tasty and the perfect amount of spiciness that we both really enjoyed. The person at the cash register Bianca (I believe that’s her name), was so patient with me as I asked her all the questions about their food and she explained to me that basically everything they make is 100% made from scratch which I was really happy to learn. She has great customer service as well as the woman who brought our food to us as we dined in. I’m so happy I discovered this place and my friend and I plan on coming back here in a week or 2 and to have this little tradition of eating their delicious food. The ice cream sandwich they have is also another lovely treat that we really enjoyed as well for dessert. My friend and I were thoroughly satisfied with everything and that’s a huge thanks to the staff at Oasis Vegetarian Cafe. Thanks for sharing your amazing food to the public. :)

Excellent customer service & the food is phenomenal 🔥 🔥 🔥 I will definitely be back 😋 thanks so much !! I almost killed the whole taco bowl I can’t stop eating it

Amazing food!! 🤤⭐ This was a local cafe we decided to check out visiting Riverside next to an amazing health market. The food is incredibly delicious, we tried a lot because everything sounded so good! Potato taquitos were crispy and soft. Our salads were soo so good with jackfruit and the avocado ginger dressing was to die for! Also quite filling! The pupusa and plantains were pretty good too. Thank you for your delicious food!! 🙏🏼

**IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO ORDER, JUST TELL THEM WHAT YOU LIKE** They have great recommendations!That carnitas-loaded quesadilla was 💣 🔥 🔥. Vegetarian but the carnitas texture was on point. The veggie’s they put inside that crispy tortilla paired perfectly with the sauce and cheese. I tried the veggie cheese, had them make sure it was extra melted and they did. The citrus slaw added a twang of lime I had to keep going back for. My moms burrito she couldn’t stop eating. Normally she takes two bites and she is full. They do have indoor and outdoor seating. The girl at the window had great suggestions that helped me decide what to get and she was friendly, doing her job wonderfully.
