- foodMy experience at this restaurant was exceptional. Not only was the food healthy and delicious, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate an unusual request. I asked if I could purchase the wheatgrass directly, rather than having it prepared as a shot, to help with my dog's digestive issues due to a tumor.
- FoodThe raw section - wow. (Always a good sign when there’s a raw section.)
- chilidelicious chili and other delights which is the only cuisine I tend to get
- vegan foodMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the spectacular vegan food. They offer many delicious healthy options, alongside some less healthy choices for those craving standard brunch fare like waffles and pancakes.
- 1/2 Nekked Burrito1/2 Nekked Burrito - corn tortilla option. Delicious and healthy.
- Nekked BurritoNekked Burrito reminded us that food need not be overcomplicated
- Sem SandwichIt offers a very natural raw food experience, focusing on vegan options without artificial meats, which I appreciated. I tried the 1/2 Nekked Burrito, Jungle Style Acai Bowl, and the Sem Sandwich, and I'm eager to try their entire menu! The service style is more of a grab-and-go setup, so don't expect formal table service.
- acai bowlsThis place has good acai bowls.
- menuIt's one of the best vegan spots in SF, a small independent business with a cool neighborhood vibe. The portobello tacos are an absolute must-try; honestly, everything on the menu is exceptional. I also noted that Housemade Chili was recommended.

Frequently criticized
- burritoWe got a burrito too. wasn’t good
- ingredientsdefinitely not all ingredients were added
- Fake Cheez-en SauceMy experience at Judahlicious was fantastic! I tried the Vegan Crunchwrap without the Fake Cheez-en Sauce and it was so good that I got seconds, and if I had worse self-control, probably thirds. The tortillas themselves are so good, I'd go there just for them!
- Mexican vegan foodif you want good Mexican vegan food you’re probably better off at chipotle
- Sunset smoothiethe Sunset smoothie, which has bananas, strawberry, date, raspberry, acerola, and lemon but the smoothie's consistency was off

- chill spotAnother chill spot to hang out
- cozy corner restaurantEverything is vegetarian and they also had a lot of raw vegan options. It's a cozy corner restaurant for a quick lunch. It's also in a cute neighborhood with a lot of cafes and right by the beach, so the vibe was really good too.

- atmosphereSometimes too crowded inside to stay and eat
- ambience insidethe ambience inside could be better
- first impressionfirst impression was bad
- interiorsThere were plenty of options with smoothies, juices, and desserts. However, the place has only 3 small tables and very basic interiors, so a lot can be done to make it more appealing. The service was excellent (5/5), but the atmosphere was rated 4/5, suggesting room for enhancement.

So, is it worth your hard-earned cash? While some find the main dishes and overall experience to offer fair prices and good value, be wary of add-ons and desserts, which can quickly inflate your bill. If you stick to the main menu and manage expectations, you might find it reasonably priced, but don't expect every item to feel like a steal.

Healthy Vegan Spot with Mixed Results
This is a very healthy, completely vegan place. We got the acai waffle and a smoothie. The waffle was very tasty, but the acai ice cream wasn't quite to our liking.
We let the shake thaw a bit because it was too cold, but then it was okay. It's unusual and good that many items are gluten-free. The staff was also very friendly.

Absolutely Divine Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was so, so good! I would HIGHLY recommend it. The service was lovely, and the crunchwrap is divine!
Honestly, it's the best I've tasted; I even took one to go. My family also really enjoyed the house-made chili, waffle with açai, and the brownie. If you are gluten-free or vegan, this place has such good food, you can't even tell it's made with alternatives!

Judahlicious? Just Delicious!
My experience at Judahlicious was fantastic! I tried the Vegan Crunchwrap without the Fake Cheez-en Sauce and it was so good that I got seconds, and if I had worse self-control, probably thirds. The tortillas themselves are so good, I'd go there just for them!
