About Oasis Vegetarian Cafe

Vegetarian and vegan food

Oasis Vegetarian Cafe Description

We believe in serving food that we would feed our children. That’s why, when we opened Oasis Vegetarian Café in 1996, we vowed to provide our community with delicious, accessible, plant-based food. Being family-owned, we believe in operating a thriving business with integrity. Our driving force is love - for service and for good food. For over 20 years, we’ve watched our family, our community, and our business grow and evolve. Now more than ever, our mission is clear, and we believe it is vital to the health of our community.

Oasis is re-launching! We need our community's support to make much needed improvements and optimize our customer experience.

Why change?

Oasis has been a favorite for over 20 years. Why change? Put simply, times change. Information changes, as do the studies and findings that determine what truly nourishes us and helps us thrive. We felt compelled to change our menu because we realized that improvements could be made in quality and consciousness. In recent years, we’ve discovered that highly processed veggie meats, GMO ingredients, and conventionally-grown vegetables can be detrimental to our family, and our customer’s health. We couldn’t possibly continue doing honest business knowing this. That’s when we decided to upgrade our menu to items we make ourselves; that way, we know EXACTLY what they’re made of! Now, we know we are serving you wholesome, healthy, and fresh plant-based cuisine. We make everything from scratch in-house, daily. We’ve requested that our suppliers bring us produce daily, so we can promise our customers the best and freshest ingredients possible. Everything is sourced with integrity and is non-GMO, organic when possible, and some ingredients are even sourced right in our very own neighborhood! So. . . why change? Well, how couldn’t we?

How have we changed?

Specifically, how have we changed? Previously, our menu was a plethora of Central-American classics, burgers, burritos, and a variety of drinks. We offered a variety of veggie meat substitutes that are created in factories and boast a long list of unpronounceable ingredients. We offered fried foods that you can get at any old fast-food joint like onion rings and fries. We made lots of things in house, but outsourced quite a bit of product. Although people loved our old menu, we struggled in our small kitchen to keep up with the vast menu and deeply knew that we could do and serve better.

We‚Äôve changed our menu to be systemised and streamlined, yet customizable and fun. Customers select their vessel, so-to-speak, whether it be a bowl, burrito, salad, burger, or tacos, then, step-by-step, select the protein, veggie, and sauce to top it off. Our customers can find their favorite combination inspired-by their old-menu favorite or select a new combination every time they visit! Now, every option in every category is homemade. Our classic vegan steak, now named ‚Äúcarnitas, ‚ÄĚ has always been a favorite, our eggs are organic, our tofu is hand-marinated, non-GMO, and organic, and our Oasis Patty is our signature gluten-free veggie patty. Each of our veggie selections are delicious and our four new sauces are incredible. From our hearty and savory Red Pepper Sauce to our light and fresh Maple Herb Vinaigrette, we‚Äôve got a sauce to fit every palate.

Instead of pre-combined dishes like our ‚ÄúSteak Burger‚ÄĚ or ‚ÄúPortobello Wrap, ‚ÄĚ our customers can now build their own favorites with our Garlic Herb Mushrooms or Carnitas. Since our menu is more streamlined, we can now focus on bringing out delicious and fresh flavors. The energy and resources we spent on fried foods and pre-made products is now redirected to preparing fresh ingredients like herbs, veggies, and fruits. Even our drinks and smoothies are made with whole fruits and veggies and sweetened naturally. Food preparation time has increased, but it‚Äôs worth it! As time goes on, wait times will decrease because of the simplified and streamlined menu.

Long-time customers will notice a streamlined approach to our prices as well. $9 for a dish and $13 for a meal may seem different from what they’re accustomed to, but if they value our improvements and their health (and consider the average prices for a meal WITHOUT integrity in the area) they’ll realize that it simply makes sense. And, to avoid a picket line, we’ve kept some long-time favorite items like pupusas, tamales, and corn dog with that magic yellow sauce on a Classics menu.

Oh, and our homemade hot sauce isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

We are vegan and this is the best place in town to come. Probably the best place place in the Inland Empire to come. The food is fresh creative, and delicious! We Love Oasis and especially the owner's who make you feel like you're part of their family. There are also some great buys at the market next door. Yay Oasis Cafe!

This place is Da Bomb!!!!! We are visiting from out of state and found this little cafe via a quick google search on local vegan restaurants. The food was so good yesterday we went back again tonight. Yesterday I had the Vegan Steak Burger, which was amazing! The flavor and texture was excellent. My wife had a veggie juice and salad and my 2 teenage boys had an Oasis burrito (black beans and rice) and a homestyle (breakfast) burrito. Tonight I tried the Vegan Steak Burrito. Again - amazing!!! It was huge and very filling. My son tried a Vegan breakfast burrito. He has never had tofu scramble eggs and he said it tasted just like the real thing. The prices were great too. Highly recommended - 5 stars! By the way I've been a vegan for all of 12 days and will be heading back there tomorrow :)

The taco plate was totally amazing and the service was wonderful.... I shopped in the store when I was done eating and bought some amazing organic produce at unbelievable prices... My only regret is that this Cafe is so far away but I will be back.....

Super yummy, filling too! I have to eat gluten free, dairy free, and tomato free... They were able to do it and I didn't have any cross contamination issues either. (I do make sure I tell them how important it is for me)

My boyfriend recently found this place, after living in the area for 2 years and I honestly loved it. According to the staff, which are very welcoming and friendly said they had change the menu. I tried the 2 tacos with tofu, vegetables, avocado ginger dressing and on the side basil corn with a hot green tea. At first I was like two tacos doesn't seem enough but I couldn't even finish the second taco. I will be back because they have other dishes I need to try.

If you’re anywhere near Riverside CA, this is must place to eat! Great food and great service.

If your tired of the same o'l choices when it comes to vegan options go to Oasis restaurant in riverside. This place is totally my favorite go to vegan food in the IE. Great tasting , delicious fresh and healthy food. Great service as well. They also have a market on-site that has great prices on organic products and foods as well.

I'm not one to leave reviews but I have to for these guys! My boyfriend and I have been vegan for half a year now and it's really hard to find a good place that serves DELICIOUS vegan options here in the Inland Empire. I randomly found this place while I was in the area and glad we stopped by. All the employees there and so friendly and welcoming. Everything we've tried has been mind blowing! Everyone we've recommended this place to has loved it as well! Thanks for the great service, see you guys next week! Lol

I love the food at Oasis Vegetarian Cafe...even my non-vegan friends really like the food too! In fact, one of my friends just mentioned that we should go back again. Guess it's time for a girls lunch day! See you next week! :)

I love eating here. My favorite order is the organic egg tacos with garlic herb mushrooms and aioli turmeric sauce. With a side of plantains and vegan cream sauce. AMAZING. If you can handle potent ginger, try the Ginger Lemonade Spritz. Sooo good. If not, you might get the Hibiscus Iced Tea, or a smoothie. I'm not a vegetarian, but still I love eating here. So many interesting flavors and tastes.

I had the jackfruit burrito with the turmeric aioli and it was awesome! It had a great flavor and it was very filling! I recommend this place because it has awesome vegan choices and because it’s great to support the small business!

I am a new vegetarian and I love this place. Jacked fruit tacos are excellent and the Carnitas yummy would recommend this wonderful little cafe to anyone trying to eat healthier.

Great, healthy restaurant in a nice area of town. Great community feel. The food was awesome! I can't wait to go back and try more food combos! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone, vegan, vegetarian, or otherwise.

Great food, Friendly staff! I like the "Design Your Meal" menu. The burritos are awesome, Ginger Lemon Spritz and Fried Plantains on the side. I've tried most of the menu by now, always Delicious, Filling & Wholesome. We usually order our food and do a little shopping in the market until they call our name. Thanks!

Great food, & excellent family like service! So refreshing to have all vegan options it can be hard in the I.E. My hubby & kids love the pupusa's. I love everything! ūüėČ

As always I had an excellent time! Great service with friendly faces. Absolutely delicious vegan food, with many options. It's so relieving to not have to worry if the meal will be vegan. It always is. It's so cool to be overwhelmed with choices! Love oasis! I have a truly great time, every time.

Amazing food and always very kind and friendly staff. We travel from Lake Elsinore to eat here at least once a week. We would absolutely love if you all would open a place closer to us. My favorite is the Jackfruit Burrito with Garlic Mushrooms and Vegan cream. The portions are huge and the taste is amazing. Best Burrito ever. My husband ordered the carnitas ( seitan? ) burrito with roasted veggies and red pepper sauce and it was equally amazing in taste and texture. We love Oasis and we will keep coming back. <3 Thank you for providing great tasting healthy options for the the public. <3

Absolutely delicious food...very impressed with its preparation, quality, flavor, and presentation. Super nice owners, too--my daughter and I enjoyed chatting with you!

This was my first time here. I have been a vegan for only 2 weeks, so I was excited to try a local vegetarian restaurant.



When I stepped up to the window, the cashier was extremely helpful explaining the menu. I ordered the Oasis Patty Burger with Garlic Herb Mushrooms and Avocado Ginger. Every veggie burger I have had in the past has been either so-so or YUCK! This burger was absolutely wonderful!! The burger was flavorful and juicy. It reminded me of when I used to eat a Mushroom Swiss Burger made from beef.



The food and service was impeccable. The only reason why I can't give them 5 stars is because of how they processed the payment of my food. The cashier couldn't swipe my debit card. She told me that they were having trouble with the scanner, so she would have to manually enter it. On the back of my debit card it reads, "See ID." There are so many credit card scams out there! I would expect this business to ensure that their staff ask for ID, especially when they have to manually enter in my debit card information and the words "See ID" is on the back of the card. Next time, I will just bring cash.
