Souley Vegan: A Delicious Vegan Experience in Oakland

Yas yasss and more yas. I've been wanting to go here for years and finally got to go on a Sunday for brunch. We arrived before the big crowds came in. Completely overwhelmed, even with just the brunch menu. Everything from brunch to their full menu will make your mouth water. We got a big spread and shared, mostly. Hard to share when everything is so good. My fried chickun and waffle was bomb. Yum crispy and well seasoned. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: MOVED TO OAKLAND JACK LONDON SQUARE OPENING END OF MARCH 2025!! Sadly, I did not catch the owner's name. However , I will say her food is delightful! Tonight I enjoyed the chicken fried steak with the sides of Mashed potatoes and colored greens with a corn bread that comes with the meal. It comes with three sides however and corn bread. Josh is a treat in himself that made my night. I am impressed. I hope this place brings many smiles to many people like it did to mine. I will be back! Went back and again everything was delicious! Honestly, everything here is so delicious I am truly blown away! MAC AND CHEESE IS GARLICKY, YUM! Since stopping eating meat, I have from slim time to time missed burgers, I was raised a carnivore, anyway may have been just the night that I went and received my burger from here but I thought without a doubt, I was sinking My teeth into a mc double from mcdonald's. I was so blown away with happiness oh my, I do not know a single person that has eaten meat that does not enjoy a mc double from mcdonald's. This is no put down whatsoever! However, that was only 2 of my bites of my burger that tasted without a doubt, 100% identical and the authentic taste of this tottaly vegan burger in itself is genuinely delightful. I really meant no harm in my comment.It was honestly such a nostalgic feeling that brought me so much joy, I really hope you all take the best from this.

We were there Saturday for the "soft opening". The new location at 101 Broadway is very nice, the trains going by on The Embarcadero add a little extra to the location! Since it was the first day open they had to work through a lot with the new everything. There are too many tables in the front bar area to make seating more than 2 people at a 4-6 person table comfortable. Some of the Menu items were not available but, we were informed by the host soon after the order went in and we ordered something else. Another difference is the menu and payment are all electronic (QR Code at your table). Bring your smart phone and plastic or payment App. Also, it would be nice to have the Staff familiar with the WiFi and password available to the customers? As a suggestion to the owners, perhaps they could have a printed menu and cash payment options?

The food and space are even better than before. I’m really happy they’re back in a new but close location.

Heard about the soft opening and I’m here for it! Love the new menu!! Had the Pray 4 Me burger that beat Bobby Flay and I can see why. It comes with tastiest fries. Love the little bit of cole slaw in the burger. It’s very balanced. It’s hard to stop eating the fries. Also ordered the Brussels Sprouts and it was expertly done. Very fresh and delicious. This new spot is so chic. I love the period details. Long bar. I can see this place quickly become the new “it” / destination spot.

Everything was sensational!!! This is my new favorite spot. I got the ain’t gator Poe boy with fries, greens and the Mac and cheese and it was so good I forgot to take a picture. I also got the strawberry ginger drink but I forgot to take a picture. The pecan cake and the lemon cake were on point. The owner was there and she was super nice and so was the rest of the staff. I’ll be telling everyone I know that didn’t already know to go here. Thank you!!! Added more pictures, I took some of the fam there and they loved it.

New spot in Martinez. Came with friends and was pleasantly surprised. Limited menu but full of flavor. Treat yourself to the hot water cornbread. Servic seemed a tad slow and some items were missing from orders. After several reminders the missing portions were promised.
