THE
OASIS OF RIVERSIDE
By Melissa Valder
Oasis Vegetarian Café is a small, family-owned restaurant in the heart of the In- land Empire that’s been serving their community healthy, accessible, plant-based cuisine even before it was cool. Admittedly, from the outside it doesn’t look like much more than an old-school snack shack, but on the inside it’s got an enormous
amount of heart and soul. Behind that order window, challenges have been faced, dreams have been built and rebuilt, arguments have been had, won, and lost, hugs have been given, and memories have been made. Today, over 20 years later, the feeling of family is stronger than ever.
