The Grain Cafe Nutrition Facts

Last updated: May 12, 2026 · How we source & estimate these macros

The Grain Cafe is an organic vegan cafe in Long Beach, California, offering a range of plant-based options for locals and visitors.

Plant-based menus generally require more deliberate ordering to hit protein targets. Tempeh, seitan, edamame, and lentils are typically the highest-protein ingredients per calorie on a vegan menu; jackfruit, mushroom, and most cauliflower preparations are texture proxies that fill out a dish but usually leave a meal lighter on protein by comparison. At a vegan cafe, look for dishes built on legumes (chickpea, black bean, lentil) or wheat-protein analogues (seitan, soy curls), and consider adding a side of edamame or a protein shake to round out the meal.

We haven't yet verified nutrition data for The Grain Cafe's own menu items, so we can't confirm which specific dishes here use these higher-protein ingredients or in what amounts. The guidance above is general information about plant-based cooking, not a measurement of anything The Grain Cafe serves — treat it as a starting point for questions to ask, not a substitute for asking.

Best Macro Pick

Tempeh, seitan, or lentil-based entrée with edamame side (35-40g plant protein).

Watch Out For
