Dolores House Co-op, isla-vista-cal

Came here for dinner a few nights, delicious and thoughtful vegan food! But don’t stay too late as they tend to turn off overhead lights and put on funny music.

Went to an open mic here. It ended with everyone getting naked in the ocean? You will probably be asked if you want to take a whiff of the sourdough starter. Here’s a tip: smell it, it’s rude not to. You do NOT want to offend the vegans ;)

very white, privileged take on "community" living, at least toward the end of '23-'24 school year. maybe different now. good vibes only vegan, local farmers take on food justice-- though no involvement/support for the UFW, part of Dolores Huerta's legacy.

Good food, GREAT parking! Someone once or twice told me there were rats in the kitchen but that's a minor detail when the soup du jour has me coming back again and again! All of their food scraps are sustainably composted which gets routinely up-cycled by the local raccoon population, or "locals" as I like to call them hahahah LOL!!

They have an interesting aesthetic to say the least, but don’t be fooled. The food is incredible and service is excellent. They really make you feel at home.
