Follow Your Heart ® Natural Foods and Cafe is so much more than its name implies. Yes, you'll find aisles filled with goods, And yes of course, the Cafe is known far and wide as being one of the very finest Vegetarian Restaurants in California (voted one of the 8 best restaurants in California by the Vegetarian Resource Group). But, what makes the Follow Your Heart ® experience so unique is the people...the varied community of Angelinos who have made this place of part of their lives.
Follow Your Heart ® began in 1970. Four friends pooled their limited resources to open a soup and sandwich shop. They realized how fortunate they were to have an opportunity to create a livelihood by doing something they believed in and that was so beneficial to others. Their vegetarian menu attracted like minded folks at first; "hippies" from Topanga Canyon and natural food moms with their kids. Over the years as the menu expanded... their customers did too. Now your're as likely to see families, Hollywood creative types and physical fitness buffs as you are insurance company executives and aerospace engineers.
The restaurant is tucked away in the back of the market, so don't be bashful ...come right on in! The casual wooden decor lends itself to the community feeling that Follow Your Heart ® is so famous for. Patrons may dine at the counter or at a table (inside or out on the patio). The counter is an especially unique part of the cafe experience and many friendships have begun as a result of a chance encounter there.
In addition to the friendly faces you'll find hearty portions of some of the best natural food cuisine anywhere. Our chefs always have something new and tasty on our "specials" board and the legendary home made soups are worth the trip all by themselves. Menu items range from ethnic specialties such as Enchiladas, Wok Stir Fry, Pastas and Spanokopita to traditional vegetarian favorites including three of the best vegie-burgers you will ever chance to meet (eat).
Follow Your Heart's unique breakfast menu includes a variety of tasty pancakes, waffles, fruit and hot cereal. However, don't leave without trying one of our many famous tofu creations such as Tofu Rancheros, Tofu Benedict or Scrambled Tofu served with breakfast potatoes. Customers in the know often drive the distance just to have our Two Bean Hash, served with vegie-sausage. If your timing is right, Friday night is Pizza Night.
