Roxanne’s Cafe

I can’t speak more highly of Roxanne and her food. It’s delicious, it’s healthy and it is made with quality ingredients. I work in Avila but regularly made nonsensical lunch trips downtown in the name of Roxanne’s Ro’ Boats and juice. I would take big, shameless bites of a dining partner’s Grain Bowl (that egg, THAT RICE BLEND). Eating at Roxanne’s is like eating out of someone’s kitchen, someone who cares enough to make everything from scratch and I couldn’t recommend it more!

Roxanne and Alyssa catered the most amazing birthday dinner I could have ever imagined!
Yummy stuffed mushrooms, chili rellenos, an excellent salad, and German Chocolate cake better than my own!
They were flexible, fun and sweet!

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch, on the rustic, but relaxing, Zen-​like patio, at Roxanne’s this weekend. I am vegan, but I had my older parents, carnivorous husband, and 10 year old son (who eats far healthier than most adults or kids) along, too. The rice bowl and kitchen sink salad were both amazing! The egg sandwich is a great option for traditionalists, including a yummy choice of bread used. Service was amazing and Roxanne, herself, was happy to customize the order, after overhearing all the questions we had during the ordering process. I wish Roxanne all the very best, here’s a vote for those local businesses we love to see succeed despite the presence of the big guys.

This place is awesome. They use fantastic ingredients and everything I’ve had has been delicious. They are conscious of allergies and very kind/​accommodating. If you want fresh, delicious food with high quality ingredients, go to Roxanne’s :)

Oh this place is wonderful. Vegan/​vegetarian fair and very friendly staff. Limited menu and hours, and it may take a little longer than you expect, but it’s because they make great food. Delicious and healthy. They also have a cute patio area to sit and enjoy. A wonderful little gem of a spot. I’m so grateful this place is in SLO and I hope they are around for a very long time!

Friendly staff and cute location. Simple and clean menu. They offer a juice of the day and a few smoothies and they have a small lunch menu. *side note* Behind/​attached to a yoga studio and mostly street parking. Kind of a tricky location if you don’t know what to look for.

SUPER healthy, feel good food in a sublime little garden with the kindest staff you could ask for. Even in SLO, the «Lay Back» Capital of the World, it’s not always easy to find vegan fare, usually a something or other with something left off. Roxanne’s offers a mix of vegetarian and vegan choices that are so fresh and «clean» you just know they were prepared with great care, if not Zen like focus. We shared Ro Boys, large romaine lettuce leaves loaded with vegetables a hint of fresh orange, cashew chez and, the black rice bowl with 5 ingredients from a list of a dozen, both were perfection. Staff is knowledgeable, kombucha on tap ROCKS, atmosphere embraces. Don’t miss the bread store around the corner for some killer sourdough. We’ll be back!

I love this one-​of-​a-​kind vegetarian café for it’s colorful garden patio setting, friendly staff and sweet little cloth napkins but what really does it for me is the FOOD! It’s one of the only places that I can trust I am getting a truly high-​quality nourishing meal. I’ve seen Roxanne a couple times at the early morning farmer’s market collecting all the fresh, local, seasonal veggies that inspire her fun and creative menu. I work downtown, so I will often call in for take-​out. I usually call a bit ahead of the lunch hour because the patio is always busy when I go in and I know her team works with a modest kitchen. My all-​time favorites are the Ro’boats; large crispy romaine leaves, amazing cashew spread, mango, avocado, etc., absolutely brilliant. Her sandwiches are lovely and usually have some incredibly special twist that makes it impossible to recreate at home. This is real food people, packed with a variety of nutrition sources and always delicious. The ambiance is a happy bonus.

Nice atmosphere and smoothies but the food left us wanting more. The portions were small and the food itself was bland. Staff was very friendly and the ingredients were fresh. I wish they added a few more spices to give their food that extra kick it needs.

Today I had the pleasure of eating at Roxanne’s café. I took my fiancée and walking into the patio you’re instantly put at ease. Tucked behind Smiling Dog Yoga studio the patio is filled with acetic furnishings, succulents, and wind-​chimes. The organic menu is written on colorful chalk boards and are easy to navigate. We ordered a rice bowl and veggie tacos served in romaine leaves. Both dishes were tasteful and filling. The staff including Roxanne — the owner Chef — we’re welcoming & helpful. This is our new favorite patio spot to grab healthy eats and take in a great view of Madonna mountain.

Was in SLO on business again and had to stop by Roxanne’s. She hit another home run with her California Confusion sandwich… avocado, egg, kimchee, and more. After I left, I honestly thought about turning back for another sandwich. This place has become a mandatory stop whenever I am in town. Treat yo self!

WOWZERS… incredibly tasty, healthy and flat out awesome. Minty Kisses smoothie will change your life.

Good stuff

Very, very good vegetarian food. Light and fresh. Don’t expect a big menu or a fancy setting. Relaxed «zen like» environment.

Stopped by, ordered the Thai Curry Soup. After sitting down, I was told it would be a long time till ready (I arrived just before noon).
Changed order to Quinoa Bowl, over 20 min later still waiting for meal to arrive. Hard to make work on a lunch break I am afraid.
Flavors were not as I remembered. Lots of Quinoa. Kale & Broccoli in small amounts. Not much flavor, no spice. Just not feeling it today.

Ok, so happy to have found this delicious eatery so close to my office. It is behind the Yoga studio on S. Higuera enter on Archer for parking. it is tiny but has wonderful food. Roxanne makes everything from scratch, I had the brown rice bowl with a choice of 4 items, I chose avocado, Swiss chard, green beans and feta cheese, she makes this delicious tahini dressing? I think that is what it was. they have a special soup and a special sandwich and a everything salad. it takes a lot to impress me but this is well worth a visit, this gal is very talented and sweet. I can’t wait to go back. I love supporting young entrepreneurs that are doing something they love. Their beautiful patio is a wonderful environment for your lunch. thank you Roxanne.

I’m not a vegetarian, but if I had Roxanne’s food everyday I could probably become one! Just had the Thai Curry soup, absolutely amazing! The ingredients were fresh, healthy and tasty! Also had the Ro’ Boats and a Chocolate smoothie. The Ro’ Boats were as usual, delicious and filled with mango and vegetables. The chocolate smoothie was perfectly yummy!
The food here has a unique combination of fresh, healthy and flavorful!

This place was beyond lovely. I didn’t have huge expectations given the modest patio and little kitchen that you practically walk right up to to order. We ordered the brunch, which if I recall correctly was a choice of one or two things — very simple selection. It wasn’t a problem because our breakfast was incredible. I didn’t know scrambled eggs had the potential to be so flavorful, fruit so fresh and delicious, and home-​style potatoes so perfectly prepared. My husband and I also split a chocolate banana smoothie which, although on the small side, was healthy and delicious. Our service was excellent as well. This place is a hidden gem, with quality organic food, and a very very modest price tag. I highly recommend.

Wholesome and tasty foods and drinks within a peaceful and lovely space. The servers are friendly and engaging and leave one to enjoy one’s meal in ease. Although the menu is limited it has good choices.

Loved it. Small place with an ordering window and seating in the patio behind the yoga studio. We had a subtle curry soup, a «mixed stuff in lettuce cups» and toasted garden loaf broad from next door. It was a little chilly, given the weather, but it was fine. Half of the seats are under cover.
It took a while for the food to come out – it’s a one person kitchen – but we were there to kick back. this isn’t fast food, or a regular in and out type of restaurant. come and relax.
Also check out the bakery next door – super tasty.
