lil’ Vegerie: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

lil’ Vegerie is a 100% vegan restaurant in Redondo Beach, and you can eat anything on its menu. The owners say so on their own site: “Everything on our menu is vegan, gluten-free and soy-free.” If you’re a vegetarian traveling with a vegan, or the other way around, you won’t have to negotiate here.

You’ll find the shop at 800 South Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 6A. You can order ahead for pickup or delivery on the shop’s Square page. OpenStreetMap contributors tag the spot as takeaway only, so don’t plan on a long sit-down meal.

What to order

Bowls are the center of the menu, and every full-size bowl costs $18. Start with the Philly Cheesesteak, which the cooks build from portobello strips, roasted peppers and onions, smokey cashew cheddar, and a potato hash. On the Cauliflower Shawarma, you get herbed chickpeas, cucumber, peppers and onions, quinoa, and tzatziki. Order the BBQ Jackfruit bowl and you’ll get lemon garlic broccoli, roasted carrots, sautéed kale, and potato hash.

Want something closer to the sea? The cooks serve Jackfruit Crab Cakes with quinoa pilaf, mango salsa, slaw, and Cajun aioli. For the Ahi Beet Poke, they marinate beets in sesame and nori and set them over wild rice with cucumber, carrots, and shredded greens.

Three burrito bowls sit in their own group, each over Mexican rice with pico, guacamole, and chipotle cashew crema. You pick between the Mushroom Carne Asada (portobellos marinated in guajillo chile, cilantro, lime, and garlic), the Tex Mex with BBQ jackfruit, and the Seven Layer Slayer. That last bowl gets you creamy chickpeas, black beans, and potato hash.

Toasts, salads, and soup

Every toast costs $12, and the kitchen serves each one on local gluten-free country bread. You can get Avocado and Heirlooms, a Chickpea Tuna Toast, a Carrot Lox Toast with cashew cream cheese and capers, or a BBQ Jackfruit Toast. Salads cost $17. On the B.L.T.A., you get coco bacon the cooks make from coconut chips with maple and paprika, plus tomato and avocado. Pick the Chickpea Tuna salad if you want a cucumber and bell pepper relish.

Two soups cost $10 each: the Three Bean Chili (lentils, black beans, and pintos) and the Tuscan White Bean with braised kale. Kids’ potato bowls cost $9.50. For dessert, you get two $4 cups: a Dark Chocolate Ganache, plus a Blueberry Cheesecake topped with lavender and pistachio. The owners make both desserts with cashews.

Drinks

You can pick from three pressed juices at $10 each: a Green Juice (spinach, arugula, honeydew, and apple), a Watermelon with aloe, mint, and lime, and a Ginger Lemonade with turmeric and black pepper. Agua frescas cost $5.50, in Hibiscus, Strawberry Dragon Fruit, or Mandarin.

The kitchen

Since the whole kitchen is vegan, you don’t have to worry about cross-contact with meat or dairy. Allergies are another matter. The owners warn that many recipes contain nuts such as cashews, and they ask you to flag an allergy when you order. They cook with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil, and they keep canola and cottonseed oil out of the kitchen.

Practical notes

The owners list hours of 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Third-party listings disagree on those hours, so call (310) 504-0236 before your visit. We read the live menu and the Square order page on November 11, 2026, found same-day delivery slots, and saw no closure notice.

Budget about $18 for a bowl and $10 for a juice, which puts a full lunch near $28 before tax.

If you only order one thing, make it the Philly Cheesesteak bowl, the dish that shows off the cashew cheddar the cooks make for the whole menu.
