“ Rare vegan spot making really tasty food. A gem for us to find so much of our favourite food vegan. Spot is clean and comfortable to eat there, staff were super nice ! Highly recommend the Philly cheesesteak ”
“ Nice 'fast' food but with lots of healthy options and lots of variety. It was fun to have a plate of lots of different things and to pay by weight. Also lots of cakes available (the bread pudding was delicious and perfectly moist / not too sweet) ”
“ I was very skeptical meeting here for lunch, because of the vegetarian menu. But I was happy to discover every dish I sampled to be delicious, even the faux jerked chicken I ordered, with mashed potatoes and plantain. I will definitely be coming back to eat at this place. Oh yeah, the pinapple-banana smoothie was fantastic. ”
“ So so so yummy and one of my favorite vegan restaurants ever. Would go so often if I lived closer. ”
“ The food here is everything!! Best vegan “meat” in nyc. Perfectly spiced and the texture is perfect. It won’t get rubbery like other vegan food spots. Recently started getting juices and smoothies here too!! And oh my god, the juice guy is a genius! I’ve just been telling him one or two ingredients I’m feeling and he says he knows exactly what to make and then makes magic. Highly recommend ”
“ I never leave restaurant reviews. This has to the exception. The food is delicious!!!.. I got the jerk chicken, greens, mash potatoes, and eggplant fitters... everything delicious!!!... definitely my new to go spot ”
“ Amazing hot Buffet vegan comfort soul food! Super tasty and spice was on point (quite often the season of vegan food could get over spicy). As the food goes by weight, be a prescriptive with the amount of food you want to try. Staff is friendly and there are so many sweet and smoothie options. Definitely will get back as the “chicken” jerk and drumstick were so good. There is a park close by that is a great option to eat besides space inside the store. I got a carrot cake and a juice to go and check was about 21. ”
“ Incredible vegan food! Open early to get hot savory food by the pound or a salad bar or order off the menu. Amazing taste, texture, and spice and a wide assortment of items and flavors available from the hot bar. Mushroom and soy based protein options. Bread pudding was also delicious and super moist. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back on a future trip. ”
