Yarin LAugust 10, 2015AMAZING!!! The unchicken salad is so good, the chickpea fries are great if you like falafel ;) friendly staff, nice and clean place, one of my favs in upper west 🏆
Angie V.August 6, 2014Found this place looking for dessert. I thought it would be a little bakery-cafe but was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a restaurant as well! Will definitely be back for a sit-down dinner soon
Just tried the pot pie on their dinner specials menu. It is soo good especially on a cold winter night!
Sam AnthonyDecember 26, 2017Great food in a cute, casual, yet romantic setting. Tons of baked goods including an incredible winter treat: egg nog cinnamon roll. Went with an omnivore who loved everything!
Ask for the breakfast menu which is the best deal here-- I order the quinoa porridge or tofu scramble. Fried seitan panini and raspberry spelt bars are my fave items. Service can be very spacey.
Favorite vegan/vegetarian spot hands down. Desserts are phenomenal. Try the key lime pie and cheesecake! I get the chickpea fries every time. Food is so good that I once visited three times in a week
Jabeen LalaniDecember 19, 2016Cute place. I had the Thai curry, although not what I expected, I enjoyed it, nonetheless. Wide selection of smoothies and juices. Next time I visit, I would like to try the burger. 🍔😊
Giulia MusioMarch 26, 2015Staff is friendly and helpful. The food is very good and I love the environment. We had the chocolate ganache cake for dessert thanks to the reviews here and it was awesome.
Sheila FretwellDecember 16, 2016Delicious, healthy plant based food served in a warm neighborhood Cafe atmosphere. This is probably my favorite restaurant in the entire world. Try the carrot cake!
Laurie TomatoOctober 29, 2021The vegetable sushi was absolutely delicious. The nachos were also wonderful - filled with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, beans and guacamole. They were satisfying and filling but not heavy or greasy.
Amazing place! My favorite vegan place in NYC. Tasty food, original menu and outstanding service.
Jenipher BrodyApril 12, 2014Got the French horn mushroom sandwich and the fried seitan sandwiches. Both very good! The mushroom one had more flavor to me though. My husband liked them both equally. :)
Jaycob BurnsJanuary 21, 2015The food is interesting and good. I'm always amused to see what vegan places manage to concoct. I had vegan chicken fingers, and they were delicious.
Bruce C.February 4, 2014Chickpea Fries are a treat you can't pass up-but beware! They are VERY filling. Plan to share-and let those bad boys cool down when they get to the table, or you'll go home with a few less tastebuds!
EffigiaMay 7, 2016Roasted veggies especially the pumpkin!Delicious carrot cake, one of the best I have tried!Also nice teas and good coffee.
Saba NekoMay 27, 2016Meat eater here and I really enjoy everything I've eaten at this restaurant. Desserts are excellent too - try the strawberry shortcake
KateFebruary 7, 2016Great vegan restaurant even for the non-vegan! We had the Shanghai dumplings, fluffy quinoa salas, and the key lime pie.
CRUZiiiEJanuary 24, 2017Pumpkin lentil soup, acai smoothie and mini brownie were all very good! Looking forward to exploring more.
vegansaurusDecember 28, 2013Dude, those chickpea fries. They are the jam! And the portion is hefty, you will get your fill of chickpea fries. Decent dinner, great lunch.
Nick PetrisOctober 3, 2014The chili & cornbread was just what I hoped it would be! I'm not vegan so I wish there was butter but I can survive without it.
BaturalpMay 11, 2019This place makes great vegan/vegetarian food. They are filling and yummy. Make sure you try chickpea fries!
Emily HaennyFebruary 14, 2015Get the seitan medallion panini! The pesto is delicious and I love the cashew cheese on it. Also, the chocolate cake is amazing.
First time? Get the PFC "chicken" meal, a gingerade, and finish the night with chocolate cookie sandwich. And grab a half-price baked good for breakfast the next day!- The Corcoran GroupJuly 30, 2011Non-vegans do not fear, this eatery makes delicious food that carnivores still like. We recommend the chick pea fries or the chocolate ganache cake – made with silken tofu
Try the Vegan Cheeseburger - Alright omnivores, bring it on! This is a handful of a #vegan #cheeseburger with layers, #secretsauce, #daiya, and more! #ohmyyum
Monday LisaJanuary 23, 2015The pan seared French horn mushroom panini is a must. Fresh light and just damn tasty. (And I'm a carnivore.)
FionaDecember 29, 2016Delicious food and super friendly staff, we'll definitely be going here again during our trip
justin AstafanousJuly 27, 2013The veggies are so fresh and perfectly done here! Key Lime Pie for dessert! 😊
URGE MiamiMarch 8, 2011Great vegan food across the board. Broccoli soup, roasted veggies, jicama, quinoa salad all winners. Great service food came out in no time and I'll be back often.
Charlotte ChanJune 14, 2016Reasonably priced for its quality! Best deserts that actually taste a lot better than the non-vegan ones.
Valerie PetrovOctober 10, 2014Delish vegan fare! I had the coconut Thai soup with a side of two roasted veggies: loved it!
Yvette WestApril 9, 2011I love this restaurant not one bad thing on the menu and love their raw roll! How I wish they had a sister restaurant on the UES, I would be there all day!
I AmosFebruary 26, 2013Yes, the chickpea fries are delicious. But also, the tempeh avocado sandwich, and also also also the carrot cake.
BenFebruary 1, 2015Some of the best vegetarian food in the city, wonderful waitstaff, flavorful food. Go there for brunch.
Rachel SheppardAugust 11, 2014The Peace Bowl with pumpkin, eggplant, and kale is my favorite. Also, try the carrot cake!
Heather WilsonJuly 1, 2013Probably the best vegan restaurant I've been to!!! The chickpea fries and the cheesecake are must haves!!
The mushroom focaccia sandwich is great; have them add avocado for even more deliciousness.
Aditi LuthraSeptember 17, 2017Loved the tiramisu dessert, though rich. The dumplings were absolutely to die for
HolidayJanuary 23, 2015For vegetable lovers! Amazing healthy food and fast service. A new favorite - big time.
Kristi EvansJuly 25, 2011Impressively delicious vegan food! I love meat but if I didn't, I'd eat here every day. Quinoa salad & shanghai-style dumplings. Yum!
Connor SpahnMarch 16, 2014Get the chick pea fries and the vegan cheese burger (if they have it). They will change your life!!!!
