White Springs Café is a family business and was founded by Rotchana Sussman who long envisioned a business centered around creating nutritionally-balanced dishes using organic/non-GMO and wholesome foods for everyone to enjoy -- food for those who want to simply satisfy a craving and for those who want to eat quality foods to maintain or reach their wellness goals. She envisioned a business model that is rooted in kindness, happiness, and fairness and to show that through food and community-giving. She also saw a business that's not just a business, but a happy environment where diverse individuals work together, grow together, and thrive together.
// Vegan & Vegetarian, Thai Food, Take-out And Delivery
Many do not know Thai vegetarian food is very popular back in Thailand. It’s not introduced here in the states but this restaurant has done an amazing job sharing the authentic Thai vegetarian dishes.
Guys, the food here is amazing and the staff are so kind and friendly. The food has a very natural taste similar to when you eat a typical clean plain healthy food but a much much tastier sensation!
Traditional เพชรบุรี
Best Thai food I've ever had. Their burgers are great, too. Best service ever! I highly recommend the Angry Chicken, Pad Kee Mao, and Beyond Burger.
Update: This place just keeps getting better. They did such an amazing job helping cater a Harry Potter Party. Thanks so much!!!
I was visiting nearby for work and needed to inhale a meal before a meeting; I was THAT person by coming in 45min to close. They were very accommodating despite my timing, and I made it out by close but they assured me not to rush. Service was phenomenal, very helpful, and very kind overall. Food was also delicious and I was very impressed with their carrot garnish, had to add.
We found this restaurant through searching vegan near by. Quaint, white building, hole-in-the-wall style “hidden gem.” The service was direct and intimate. Food was very flavorful and light. Delicious Thai food and recommended for anyone out this direction, vegetarian, vegan, and the open minded.
The best to describe this place is: Michelin star quality food meets hole-in-the-wall place that makes you feel like you are home! I have been going to this place for more than a year, and they are food is absolutely amazing - If you are a Tofu fan, please do yourself a favor and try the Garlic Pepper Tofu. Its the best Tofu entree I have eaten.
What makes them truely special though is the people - you instantly feel welcome and everyone just seems so happy to work there. A very intimate, homely experience. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get a taste of top-notch Vegan Thai cuisine.
This is a cute little cafe tucked away on a side street in Arcadia. It is small and there is no indoor seating. You select from the menu as soon as you walk from in the door and then go up to the counter and order and pay. Inside there is a large flat screen TV and the music coming from it is absolutely deafening. Outside there's more of a buffer so you don't hear the music as much but it's still pretty loud. There are two small tables outside with two chairs for each table. So this place definitely could not accommodate a large party or even a midsize party of four three. The menu is large and very diverse. They have Thai food burgers salads soups and some items that you won't find a lot in other vegan restaurants like fried shrimp. Keep in mind that the menu is vegetarian not vegan. They do have egg in some of the dishes and sides like fried eggs. The staff were very friendly and fast. The food came out super quick and was tasty.
I loved this place! I went with my friend and girlfriend and everyone really enjoyed their meal. There were two small tables out front which was nice since we had our dogs. The service was the highlight. They were super friendly!

I love coming here. One of my favorite vegan spots. The ladies (servers) always are so nice and they always make sure you understand what you’re getting if you’re not sure and food is always fresh.
Really delicious Thai food, whether you're specifically looking for vegan or not! Extremely kind and gracious staff.
Great food especially that they serve an all vegetarian dish. The service is excellent! The owner and staff are very nice whenever we order for take out.
Don't show up at 230 with handicap person. Very small place. Cook not happy. I think better suited to take out. Very gracious. Vegan food good

Loved it here. While I do wish there were more seating options , the staff was incredibly generous to my partner and I and the food was great.
Can't give this place enough stars, my partner and I visit once a week and the food and service are always amazing!
Exceptional service and food! What more can you ask for!
Great vegetarian food!

Very cute food place with lovely people running it! Also, the food was delicious ~
The food was really good if you like vegetarian and vegan food. The employees that were working there were amazingly awesome I will definitely go back there again.
Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Come here immediately and feel the love!
OMG!!! This is the BEST Thai food I have ever had!
Everything is fresh, tastes delicious, and beautifully presented.
Must try dishes - Eggplant with Basil, Yellow Curry, and Orange Mushroom.
I am not vegan or vegetarian but this place makes me think twice about that! The food is so delicious, authentic, and most of all fresh!! The service and hospitality was incredible! I am definitely coming back to try more items! Thank you to everyone who works there for making our lunch unforgettable. 😊
Literally one of my favorite places to eat! I fully recommend their Pad Thai. I can't stop getting it since the first time I tried it. Love everything.
This place White Springs Cafe Discriminates, I ordered my food and paid, also left a tip on a to go order. I was asked if I wanted a complimentary Ginger Tea which I said yes. I waited for the tea 5min into me coming in. I was asked to wait outside, and they will bring my food out, so I went to seat in my car, got off about 15 to 20min later to check if my food was ready and it wasn't. I was okay with it, not in a rush, I already know it takes awhile I've been here before. I was just checking I didn't say anything to them just went inside but again they told me to wait outside and again I went to seat in the car...for another 15min, I go check again and wait outside 10 min more, when then I see them calling me in, and then for no reason I was asked not to return, me or my family. I always go by myself and order it to go...I asked them why? And what did I do! 3 ladies were standing beside the register and only the owner was talking I don't know the owner or saw her when I was ordering, I went to check their ig and that's how I know it's the owner, the other 2 were just quite, didn't say a word, when I asked her, what did I do she replied "you know what you did" I said no I don't know!! , I was outside waiting for my food. I was confused and in shock, I repeatedly kept asking her and telling her I didn't do anything!! and to tell me what I did, but she just kept saying, that I knew and honestly I didn't!! I was outside all that time, only the 5min for the Ginger tea. she kept telling me she didn't want me to return and to leave. I couldn't understand I was waiting outside seating in the car!! I am going to reach out to ArcadiaChambers to have them investigate why White Springs Cafe Discriminates!! I also found more people on the Yelp reviews, I guess am not the only one that has been accused of doing absolutely nothing!! For me I was waiting in the car.... THE ONLY THING I KNOW I DID WRONG WAS TO APOLOGIZE TO HER FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT I DID!!! For this for what happened to me I don't recommend this place, I wouldn't want anyone else to go through it! To be accused of not knowing what I or we did that was wrong!!! ......
This restaurant wants to cater to a specific population. It doesn't welcome everyone. They make excuses to not serve whoever they want. Sad. Because food is mediocre at best. Too expensive to justify. The trio of ladies who own this venue do not know the difference between good and bad; it shows in the food they prepare. They serve vegan and chicken dishes. Do not be deceived by their "acting behavioral niceties". You'll be better served and treated at Natalee Thai; naturally, they know they serve meat dishes ans well seasoned.
After TWO YEARS of our family supporting this cafe/restaurant, they suddenly BANNED us from eating there. We weren’t just every now and then customers either, we were REGULARS. Despite their food being pricy and the lack of seating because it’s a small place, we thought the food tasted good so we went to them and always ordered a lot. We even purchased food trays from them for a party before. It would be understandable if we were ever rude but we’ve always tried to be respectful and kind. Our family always complimented them on their food too. We were never overly rowdy or did anything inappropriate.
This happened today when my fam went to go order food to-go because my brother asked us to pick him up something. That’s when they dropped the bomb that we were no longer welcome. When my sister asked for a reason, she was denied one. They said “we should know” what we did. We DON’T and that’s why we’re asking??
For over 2 years we ate and chatted with them without issue and out of nowhere they claim they’re uncomfortable around us and don’t wanna serve us? They refused to give us an explanation and said that we should figure it out. Only when we have and came back with a sincere apology would they consider letting us eat with them again. EXCUSE ME? Nah. Whether they give us a reason or not or it turns out to be a misunderstanding, we won’t be coming back. It has left a sour taste in our mouth. There’s plenty of vegan/vegetarian Thai places out there OR regular Thai places that can make dishes vegan/vegetarian. Seeing two other recent 1 star reviews also has me seeing that they’ve got their own issues to deal with.
My family’s first time eating at White Springs and we are spell bound by their delicious food. Stunning depth of flavor; this is our new go to Thai food. Won’t order any other place. And I am hardly ever moved to write reviews online for anything. This place truly stands out!
Good food. Limited dine-in tables, but have always found a table.
Very expensive $18 plate for a very tiny to-go box. rice is not that expensive but i only got maybe 1/2 cup rice???? very very little food be warned. food taste good but definitely no value for the money due to portions. very stingy...
Nowhere to eat inside; pre-order is recommended because there's only one cook.
I came in to pick up am order and all of the staff were so friendly. They even gave me a complimentary Thai tea for the road. I'll definitely be returning.
Really amazing hearty homemade Thai Vegan/Vegetarian Food! Do come here and try their Crispy Garlic Tofu and Spicy Salmon!
THIS PLACE IS RACIST!!! ALOT OF HOMELESS HANG AROUND THE AREA OF THIS PLACE SOME AFRICAN AMERICANS, ASIAN AND WHITES. IAM AFRICAN AMERICAN AND WAS REFUSED SERVICE FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!! MONEY IN HAND EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! IVE NOTICED THROUGHOUT THE PREVIOUS YEARS I HAVE BEEN COMING THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY RACE AND OTHER HOMELESS RACE BUT THIS IS UNFAIR TO ME SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE !!!!
Nice small eatery. Mainly for take out but with one table for 4 inside the store, and couple tables outside. Friendly and pleasant service. Lots of selections.

The staff and Kitchen are so incredibly helpful and kind. The food is OUTSTANDING. Highly would recommend the green papaya salad, their eggplant dish, the coconut ice cream, and their amazing Thai tea! It’s the kind of place I can tell I will be craving their food on the regular. They have different spice levels and for my first time they were very accommodating and gave me mild for each dish with extra chili on the side. Their chilli is so flavorful, smoky, and of very high quality. I will definitely be back!!!
Fantastic to have a place like this with so many vegetarian and vegan options to choose from! The food was incredibly delicious 😋 we had padseew, green beans with chicken, and rice noodles with mushroom curry. Thai iced tea and a ginger water! It was all amazing. There is limited seating indoor and out. The staff is super friendly!
A wonderful gem of a family owned restaurant in the neighborhood. It's definitely our go to place for delicious vegan meals. All their curries are flavorful, and for spiceness-- the "angry chicken" is wonderful. I appreciate that they really do focus on good ingredients. Great spot to eat outside on sunny days (pretty much every day in LA!), and Karen who is the friendliest server will greet you with a refreshing cup of water infused with pandan leaf. And parking there is always easy to find.
It’s the best Thai vegan place with creative and flavorful dishes, all freshly made . It’s run by a lovely local family . All the staff and the chefs are extremely friendly . We go there often for lunch and dinner and always have wonderful experience .
I ordered a Beyond Burger and it was okay.
But the fries was very spicy… I can not eat spices (black pepper is also spicy for me, but some people think it’s not spicy… anyways), since I have a chronic stomach illness.
I felt pain and I got sick at the moment I ate the spicy French fries.
I won’t buy in this place ever again. It’s just awful to know they serve spicy fries without the customers knowing beforehand.
Please change that and put in the menu…
Good food the Orange Vegan ChickN was a highlight
This is the best vegetarian place in the area! The chicken burger, pad thai, and drinks are always made the same, great way. This restaurant is worth adding to your regular visits. Karen gives amazing service every day.
The best to describe this place is: Michelin star quality food meets hole-in-the-wall place that makes you feel like you are home! I have been going to this place for more than a year, and they are food is absolutely amazing - If you are a Tofu fan, please do yourself a favor and try the Garlic Pepper Tofu.

Our favorite vegan restaurant. Service is amazing and so is the food. We love it here. Our server deserves 10 stars.
The workers surprised me with a yummy vegan coconut ice cream on father's day. It was genuinely a kind gesture. The food is filling but doesn't leave you button popping stuffed. We've been here several times and have really enjoyed everything we've ordered -- my favorites include green curry with chicken protein and the Tom Kha soup with chicken protein. The place is casual dine-in. That means ordering and paying at the counter and waiting for the food to be brought to your table. Two small cute tables outside can be combined for parties of 4; one larger table inside for parties of 4-5 comfortably. No public bathrooms but there is an REI and a 7-11 a block away for emergency kiddo bathroom runs. Overall, it's one of our favorite places to enjoy and support in Arcadia.
Pretty good Thai food, all the dishes you would expect with the right spices.
The food was excellent and Karen was such a big help! The service they offer is top notch! Definitely going back!
Best food ever. Really good service and delicious vegetarian and vegan food
We discovered this sweet little place two weeks ago and went back again last weekend. The selection is great and the flavors phenomenal - we tried several appetizers, the angry chicken, the orange chicken, the yellow and mushroom curries, and two different noodle dishes - all SO GOOD! As a lifelong vegetarian, I am SO happy we discovered this gem!
I had the Angry chicken and the thai iced tea, there was so much flavour to go with the spice in the chicken and the iced tea was a perfect complement to the heat
Incredibly tasty food. Came to the area around a year ago and had dinner at WSC and it left such an impression I had to go back again during my current trip. I was not disappointed. It was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth! Also, if you like it spicy (I do) they will make it to a pretty nice level and even provide extra spice on the side!! This is a keeper. I should have rated a year ago.
Great food good portions and great service. highly recommend.
I was staying at motel 6 in walking distance. This spot was small but packed with friendliness. Also incredibly yummy. The pad Thai was so yummy. I was able to enjoy it outside in the very pleasant evening. They even hooked me up with a dessert. Absolutely coming back whenever I come thru again.
Super delicious vegetarian thai food. I'm a meat eater and I love this place. So flavorful, I don't miss the meat at all. My go-to is to get the Tom Kha soup and add a side of steamed veggies, putting them in the soup. Feels hearty and tastes great!
Fantastic little spot for a multiple array of vegan dishes. They do serve egg as an “option.” All their dishes, entrees, etc are vegan. Cute spot from a good bicycle ride! Stop by!
We found this restaurant through searching vegan near by. Quaint, white building, hole-in-the-wall style “hidden gem.” The service was direct and intimate. Food was very flavorful and light. Delicious Thai food and recommended for anyone out this direction, vegetarian, vegan, and the open minded.
We came two days in our trip for brunch and the woman working was super nice and helpful! We got bowls with tofu and egg and it tasted delicious! Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting.
slow service…!! long wait for take out orders
The friendliest experience I've had in a long time. Delicious food and tea, great service and nice people. Can't wait to come back!
Lovely little gem with friendly staff and great vegan Thai food. We ordered spicy fried rice, pineapple fried rice and the fresh spring rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious! We were given
complimentary ginger iced tea and mango sticky rice for dessert....a wonderful ending to a nice meal.
I cannot recommend this place enough, the pad thai and the pad se eww were absolutely stellar. A great vegetarian/vegan option for those looking for one. The staff also were extremely friendly and covid compliant. Definitely worth your time 🤙
Such delicious food and the staff was so genuinely nice and hospitable! They made us very comfortable and I could tell they cared about the service and their food! I will definitely be back and wow! The soy chicken has soo much flavor!
Foods are well prepared and packed, nice service.
Good vegan food, lots of options. A bit pricy. Lunch portion we had could ha e includes a spring role or miso soup.
Angry chicken and mango sticky rice are must try.
Vegan-licious! :D I enjoyed my vegan` meal with GF rice noodles and topped with thai iced tea with oat milk. it was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly too. 5 gold stars!
Rico y saludable
The food is great and so is the service! Even during Covid, they made my take-out experience pleasant!
White Springs Cafe is an amazing vegan thai option in Arcadia. The staff are phenomenal and full of energy. Their food is delicious beyond belief. This is my favorite place to eat in Arcadia hands down.
Absolutely delicious food. Great people. Can't stop coming back. Love you guys.
Thai vegetarianism is the best.
No loss of delightful flavors.
A happy place to eat or to go.
Great food, great people. Healthy. Delicious. Locally owned business that we all should support. I normally don't post reviews like this, but they really are nice folks here. My favorites are the green curry and eggplant dishes.
Finally got around to trying White Springs Cafe. The food was beyond delicious - it was a good amount of food and flavors were amazing. It was also nice to see them being very cautious with Covid. This will definitely become one of my regular spots I'll visit. If you're reading this and considering giving it a try, do it, you won't regret. = )
Wow, just wow. I went to pick up my order (I was early) and it wasn't ready yet. I asked for an iced coffee while I wait and they gave it to me on the house. Friendliest staff ever. I'll update this after I taste the food.
Edit food is great. Eating here for the second day in a row.
First time trying White Springs Cafe. I called in my to-go order of Fresh rolls, Orange tofu mushroom, and vegan Thai ice tea! Everything was so delicious, great portions (I have leftovers for dinner) and I’m so excited as a vegan to have their vegan/vegetarian food options available! Thank you!!
This place is lit! My mom bought the Pad See Ew, the Fresh Rolls, and the Pa Nang Curry. Everything was incredibly delicious and fresh! We're definitely getting food from there again.
This place is amazing! The pad thai is one of the best I've had. Food is fresh, delicious, and the portions are generous (two meals for me). Also, the staff are so friendly. I have been back twice in the last couple weeks and will definitely be back again.
Wow! Walked in and was greeted with all smiles. Was looking for pad Thai. It’s a new restaurant called white cafe. It’s vegan style. I love tofu. Previously was trendy Thai.
I ordered the pad Thai to go. As I waited they asked me if I would like to try Thai tea or coffee. I accepted a cup o Thai tea. Refreshing while waiting.
The of Thai comes in a bowl container. I got home. Opened it and BAM! It was still piping hot. It was the best pad Thai I had in a very long time. Very flavorful. Can’t forget about that bowl!! that bowl was packed. I could barely finish it. I will be returning for sure and spreading the word.
