in 2026... 🥂 healthy is the new good time.
so many of our guests are stepping into the new year with lighter, clearer intentions, including enjoying less alcohol. at The Plot, our zero-proof menu makes that shift feel exciting, elevated and totally celebratory. Think botanical teas, citrus, herbs, and house-made syrups crafted into layered, grown-up sips that don’t feel like a compromise.
a few favorites returning for 2026 resolutions:
Anda Kawa
mint tea, almond & lime with cinnamon and orange peel
Chamoy Sour
tart, spicy, deeply satisfying
Squirt Gun
sparkling grapefruit with a playful charcoal salt rim
Cosmic Calm
a dreamy, NA take on a cosmo
because feeling good shouldn’t feel boring, and pleasure absolutely belongs in your wellness journey.
and since our food celebrates plant proteins, nuts & seeds, fruits, vegetables and heart-healthy oils, it naturally aligns with what nutrition experts call the “portfolio diet”, a way of eating linked with supporting heart and whole-body health.
so let’s celebrate the year ahead with joy, intention and food that loves you back, on NYE and beyond.
2025 - THAT’S A WRAP!!!
So much love to our incredible team, friends, families, partners, and all of YOU! Cheers to eating what you grow, celebrating local, minimizing waste, bending boundaries, doing cool shit with plants, making food unbelievably delicious, and giving back more than we take!
More to look forward to in the new year, and we can’t wait to see you there! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ❤️

introducing The Plot Garden Project 🌱 growing change together
okay this one is going to make us cry but in a really good way. we are so so excited to introduce The Plot Garden Project, a living extension of The Plot’s mission to grow a healthier, more connected community.
what started as a small restaurant with a big dream has blossomed into a regenerative urban garden space where we teach, grow, and nourish, right here in South Oceanside. through hands-on education, events and storytelling, we’re showing how healthy soil leads to healthy food, and how food connects us all.
we’ve come a long way since opening The Plot just weeks before the world shut down (pandemic circa 2019), but this next chapter is about growing beyond our walls. with your support, we can expand our garden, amplify our reach, and continue inspiring change, one seed, one plate, one person at a time.
if this mission speaks to you, we welcome your support. whether through donations, partnerships, or simply spreading the word. together, we can grow something truly transformative. 💚
