24 Carrots Juice Bar & Cafe

This place has great juice and smoothies. I wouldn’t come here for food though, it’s a little too expensive!

Best vegan/​vegetarian place in Tempe! Everything is great on their menu! However my favorites are the Incrddible Hulk smoothie, their pastries, and jalepeño poppers. You won’t be disappointed with anything though!

I really enjoyed this place. I ordered a carry-​out but the dining was very appealing. Had I not been in a hurry I would have stayed. The Masala Chai (hot) Tea was really yummy. Even for a 100° day. Ordered the zucchini noodle salad but received a zucchini salad. It was still good, just not what I ordered. I tried the gluten free lemon and cookies and cream cupcakes. (I believe both kind were gluten free) For a dollar you can’t beat it. They are soooo great with tea… Just dangerous Bc you can eat a million of them. I also couldn’t help myself and ordere the gluten free carrot cake. OMGGGG it’s so damn good! Everything was so good I don’t even care my order was wrong… I mean I do care but you get it. (Posted a few days after visit)

Sorry but this place has horrific customer service and subpar food. 2 stars because we did finish the food, but wouldn’t come back.
We got the Buddha bowl, cauliflower wrap and carob maca latte. The latte was pretty good, cauliflower wrap was ok– mostly just because it was a bit spicy. The Buddha bowl tasted of nothing. Needed salt and more curry spices.
When we asked to switch for something else, they laxadasically asked us what was wrong with it. Then it took ages for us to get our replacement of a BLT, which was ok. I wouldn’t rush back to have it. Their food is also quite overpriced for the portion size.
I have worked for probably a decade in food/​hospitality and I was extremely disappointed by the service we received. First of all, the guy who served us at the register was the least enthusiastic person I have come across this year. Unfortunately we did tip, and now I wish I could take that back. We asked what was good since it was our first time coming in, he essentially told us to just read the menu.
Secondly, when you aren’t happy with food, it’s not nice to be questioned as if it is our taste buds that are wrong. And then when you ask to switch to another meal, that meal should be expedited. It clearly wasn’t so one of us finished food before the other, not a great experience.
Lastly, when we got our replacement BLT we were given it in a to go box. If I was working and someone did that, I would tell them to put it on a place. It comes across as very rude. I couldn’t wait to leave and actually headed out as I was taking my last bite. Didn’t feel welcomed or like the service was in any way genuine. Maybe this is how you guys roll in Arizona, maybe I’m just used to California. but I just hope this isn’t the best that vegan food gets here.
The guy who seemed to be in charge did admit that the curry sauce wasn’t quite right today– people, this is why managers do line checks and taste sauces daily. Overall I just really felt like no one particularly cared to be there, to cook, to serve, etc.
Unilocal, you let us down.

The Vegan Breakfast burrito is DELICIOUS!
Best vegan dish I’ve had in 6 months of eating Vegan.
So grateful for this place!

Chose the vegan breakfast bowl and WOW do these folks know how to serve up LOVE in a bowl !! They are strong supporters official produce and proud to showcase that to the patrons. The vibe is laid back, cozy, clean and spiritually inviting– while still modest and natural. Prices are very reasonable on the higher side but with due respect– I feel if you want good for you food that tastes like it should — it’s worth it! I can’t wait to turn my loved ones on to this tucked away little Tempe gem

So excited to have found this place. My teenage daughter is vegan and we struggle to find a restaurant she can eat at. We had the apple quinoa and oats for breakfast. Delicious with lots of fruit and oats had great texture. Staff was super friendly too. Can’t wait to try more items on the menu.

Absolutely love, love this place. From great customer service to quality food, there’s nothing to complain about, really. Except maybe I wish there’s membership to this place so I can just eat here every single night. If you are in a mood for an amazing vegan food, this is the place to be. If you’re not really crazy about vegan food, this will make you want to change your diet and just be 24-​Carrots fanatic like me! PS– don’t forget to try their desserts because that will just make your experience even greater.

This place is healthy. I knew that going in and that is what we were looking for. I did not know that it was vegan. I don’t think I would have gone if I had known. Since we had driven out of way to eat here we stayed anyway. Tried two smoothies — Green Peace and Tropic Thunder. I really liked the Green Peace with avocado and spinach. The kids liked the Tropic Thunder — I didn’t get to try it. Also had the buffalo cauliflower wrap… with a regular tortilla and with a gluten free tortilla. It was very tasty and different. Was impressed with the gluten free tortillas until they get hard, then they are hard as a rock. Didn’t care for the hummus… too chunky and thick. The salad was very basic as a side to the sandwich. Tried the Dan Dan Noodles and really liked them, even the fake meat on top. My kids refused to eat the food so I can’t imagine I will be back very often.

Great food, try the nachos! Yes a little pricey, and I get the comments on bitter, but then again they are not adding sugars and creams to hide the flavors, and to be honest I will always pay for good food.

Most amazing vegan vegetarian café! Very clean, very tasty, and the service is off the charts perfect!

This is an all vegan restaurant, which is very appealing to me since I associate myself, more and more lately, as vegan. Plus I don’t eat any dairy products so it’s nice to have good, tasty, and fulfilling meals that I know won’t upset my tummy!
Just a heads up, this place is a little pricey! For an entrée and dessert for one, I got a total of around $ 17! But they really do make delicious food that doesn’t taste «averagely vegan» in the least, so I say it’s worth it every once and a while!
Tonight, I had the Southwest Wrap and a lavender cookie sandwich with strawberry filling. The wrap was a little powerful in its cilantro dressing, which kind of overpowered the dish, unfortunately. Toward the end, I just started scraping off the excess filling and just enjoyed the flavor of the homemade, toasty wrap! The dessert took the cake (pun intended?!) for me! The lavender cookie was much like a scone, with biscuity characteristics, and the strawberry filling was sweetly welcomed. The two together paired very nicely.
All in all, of course I will be back! They do have the best vegan dishes on this side of town, by far. They also offer raw too, which is rare and very appreciated. Try the Raw Tacos! You won’t be disappointed!

I have eaten here a few times. I enjoyed the DanDan noodle bowl. Also we tried the quesadilla w walnut meat. Walnuts are just too bitter to make the dish edible. also the tacos use walnut meat, bitter again. Not edible. They need a way to tone down the bitterness. Try soaking in milk. Then squeeze excess liquid. this has worked for me in past to tone down bitter product. Also the spring rolls were dry inside, good variety of veg lots if carrots, but adding cucumber would bring moisture making it more enjoyable. I had the Vampiro juice w red beets it was great. Next visit they used golden beets. Did not like the flavor. It just didnt work for me. However breakfast is tasty. pancakes were soo good. And my Gardener scramble was delicious! Love the smoky taste of the tofu strips.
I will return get my go to DanDan noodle bowl. The tofu, noodles and zucchini noodles worked well together and just the right amount of spice. Topping it off w peanuts was perfect! The place is clean with a patio and a really cozy corner area with couch and toys for the kiddos. I have to mention the desserts, Fantastic! Gluten free and raw offerings make it guilt free :)

SO GOOD! I was so excited to find out there is a good all-​vegan restaurant here in Tempe! As a new vegan, I’m still learning about all the great types of food there are, and 24 Carrots is a great place to try new things. I took some friends for breakfast and we got the breakfast burrito, Arizona Bowl with cauliflower, and the french toast. Everything was flavorful, fresh, balanced, and DELICIOUS! I am a total caffeine addict, so I also got a soy latte with date caramel– Holy deliciousness! Really rich and decadent. They also do fresh juices and smoothies.
The cashier was really helpful and knowledgeable when I asked him about some of the dishes and their ingredients, and the staff checked in often to make sure we were enjoying our meal.
The limoncello cookie sandwich was amazing as well, we all split it for dessert. A great, casual place to bring friends and have an amazing healthy meal. We will definitely be back!

The raw nori rolls were amazing, light in weight but full of flavor.
The raw zoodles, covered in a delicious sauce, was a larger quantity of food yet still didn’t leave you feeling heavy after eating.
I would recommend this place to family and friends as a must-​try when visiting Phoenix/​Tempe :)

First and foremost I am not a vegan or a vegetarian, but I do eat as healthy as i can. I had 90 minutes to kill on a Friday and I was hungry and I’m slimming down for my Mexico trip in a couple months, this seems perfect for dinner.
Hipster little place, décor and staff. The kid behind the counter, was NO help with the menu telling me «I really haven’t tried much on the menu»…great I’ll have to wing it.
I ordered the jalapeño poppers, jalapeño hummus inside a small red pepper over a giant plate of lettuce. Also the the Tu-​No salad, tuna flavored quinoa over some greens. then I had a green tea. It was good and different for me, I’d come back if I was in the area. I felt a little on the pricey side, my meal was $ 21 for those 3 things.

My friend and I shared the watermelon pizza, jalapeño poppers, and the nachos. The watermelon pizza was by far our favorite thing we ordered, even though it was so simple! It was just watermelon topped with «jalapeño nectar» (I think agave syrup or honey or something), pistachios, and basil. Although for $ 6, I might just try to recreate it at home.
The jalapeño poppers were not my favorite. I know that vegan cheese can’t taste like real cheese, but the texture on this «cheese» was too watery for me.
The nachos were pretty good. I liked that the portion was HUGE (definitely share these) and that they put some inventive stuff on top — like shredded beets! The flavor was a little lacking for me, especially in the beans. I think it needed some salsa or hot sauce to spice it up.
We also both ordered juices. I got the «beet it» juice and thought it was good and refreshing. Not too bitter even though there was no added sugar.
Overall, love the décor and ambiance of this place. The food is unusual and an adventure to try new things, so I’d definitely be back!

Very few times Unilocal has let us down when selecting a new restaurant to try but unfortunately this was one of them. I do not know how this place can have 4 stars! I am beginning to think these reviews are by people that do not know what good food is supposed to taste like.
First of all, both Unilocal and their website states that they open at 8am. They open at 10am. We live in Tucson so we were excited to try this place out on our way to Scottsdale. Not cool that they weren’t open at 8am like stated.
My husband ordered the Vegan Breakfast Burrito and I ordered the My Favorite French Toast. We also ask if the jalapeño poppers are indeed jalapenos (not sure why my husband asked this question but I guess he had a feeling) and we were assured that they used jalapenos. We also ordered a side of the apple Soyrizo hash.
Our food arrives and I wish I had taken a picture of my plate. The description of my French toast reads: Creamy Coconut Custard| Berry Coulis| Cinnamon Sugar Bananas | House Granola Seasonal Fruit Side. Yah right! There was no sign of creamy coconut custard only two slices of barely buttered bread with a smear of berry and an entire whole banana with no cinnamon sugar laid across the dry bread. It had no flavor, the whole banana was weird (should have been at least sliced) and was just not good.
The apple Soyrizo hash was soggy apples, soggy sweet potatoes and soggy white potatoes with no Soyrizo whatsoever. This «hash» had zero flavor and after two bites, I couldn’t force myself to take another bite.
My husband’s burrito while looked like it should taste good was not. He said he didn’t know how they could have all these ingredients and not have any flavor. He ate half of it because he was hungry but the rest of the day his stomach hurt.
The «jalapeño» poppers arrive and it is some sort of mixture on top of quartered red bell peppers! Now I am very allergic to bell peppers so we tell the server that we do not want this dish and since she had taken our order my husband reminded her that he had asked if they were in fact jalapenos. She said «Oh yeah! I’m sorry. I can refund your money» and we took her up on that offer.

I had 24 Carrots a couple of other times after I wrote my first review & I do agree w/​some of the other reviews that it can definitely be a hit or miss. The first time I went it was great, I even had delicious dessert. The second time I went back it was for a pick up & everything was wonderful. The third time, today, I went back & I didn’t like my smoothie, it was overly fruity, and I didn’t like my raw cheesecake, it definitely was not up to my standards, but that’s maybe b/​c I make my own raw cheesecake & can be a little big of a harsher critic. The wait time was not bad, even though they were full. I still want to keep my 5 stars for this place because, again, they are vegan, support local, and use organic whenever possible.
Disclaimer: I do want to say that I could have modified the smoothie b/​c I saw the ingredients prior to ordering, but I didn’t. It being «too fruity» was definitely not on 24 Carrots :-)

There seems to be a new group of employees behind the counter. Customer service was much better, and my food came out fairly fast. I was happy with my grilled cheeze. Love the grilled red onions in it!
I hope they keep this bunch of people working today because it was a much better experience.
I love the almond butter cookies! A+

If you’re looking for healthy, fresh and delicious vegan and/​or raw options, look no further than 24 Carrots.
My first visit here was on Mother’s Day of this year. I got a naked breakfast burrito, sans vegan cheese. It was perfectly seasoned and I was so pleasantly surprised by how fresh the veggies tasted. The breakfast burrito comes with bacon, but my bowl was lacking the veggie bacon. However, I didn’t mention the snafu.
My DD ordered Banana Foster pancakes and she let me taste them. They were… interesting? They had a weird consistency; not pancake-​y at all. We wondered if maybe they were gluten-​free? But again, we didn’t ask. The service was good, and I love that we were given our own personal water pitcher.
I finally went back to try some of the lunch items that I’d been eye-​balling for months.
Smokey BLT club (no T): I got mine with a side of chips and salsa. Very tasty and flavorful, although I am not a fan of their veggie bacon. It’s not firm or crunchy enough for my liking. And I didn’t like the salsa; it’s very tomato-​y, and I don’t like tomatoes (hence my holding the «T» from the BLT). The aioli sauce on the sandwich was bomb though.
Buffalo Cauliflower wrap: I got mine extra spicy, no celery or carrots, but with a side of carrots and hummus. OMG. Let me tell you… Ask and ye shall receive. *waves church fan* That Sriracha was KICKING! I needed the earth and the wind to calm that fire! It was, however, amazingly delicious. Sometimes, a dish is just all heat, and no flavor. But no. The flavor was definitely present, along with that heat. I like hot and spicy foods, so the watering eyes, burning buds, and duck lips trying to such in the air flow to cool my mouth was all good times for me. For kicks, I’ll try it with the normal spice level next time to see how I like it. Excellent dish!
Desserts:
Puddin Pear tart. It was tasty, but not worth the $ 5.50 they charge for the tiny slither they give you.
Black Forest Cake: Yes! Moist, decadent chocolate cake, with a sweet and creamy icing on top and in the middle, topped with a cherry. Divine! Definitely worth the $ 6.25.
Lots of smoothie options (I’ve never tried any of them). 100% vegan, lots of organic and raw options for foods and desserts. Food is always fresh and it’s filling, yet light. They support local farms and businesses. The owner likes to switch up the menu. I like this concept. I keep checking their Facebook page to see when they’ll re-​introduce the meatloaf that I want so badly to try.
A solid 4.5, but I think some things are over priced, and I don’t like the fact that there is still no overhead signage. If you don’t know where you’re going, it’s a pain trying to find it. Oh, and the hours on here are currently wrong. They are currently open 8am-​7pm, Tue-​Sat, and 8am-​2pm on Sundays; closed Mondays. Not sure if the hours will change come winter, so it’s best to call ahead to double check.
