BEST vegan food we have had in all of USA!!! - Edit
We had a delicious pasta with olives and a brown rice dish with mushrooms, beans and salad. It was simply heaven! Real whole foods prepared with love, no fast food crap. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very vivid and nice. It was the best vegan food we have had in the US so far and have tried many vegan places! Right next door is a new vegan treat place that opened and belongs to this one. We got the best cheese cake and vegan ice cram there!

Tasty and delicious for the soul - Edit
Kind person assisted me. Kale soup was delicious! I was a little early for the more substantive dishes that would be ready at 11am. But they all sounded good and I went next door to the other part of the business to eat, zucchini bar.

Love this place. - Edit
It’s a bit pricey but really good and 100% vegan. Also the next door place has amazing vegan desserts. I see people complaining about the food being “bland”, but I eat a no-SOS diet at home and find most restaurant food extremely salty and oily to the point where sometimes it’s hard to finish the plate. Not here. This food is perfect. Not too salty, never too oily. If you love vegan junk food then yeah maybe this place isn’t for you.

Vegan in a food desert - Edit
I’m all about paying for quality but the price for food here is HIGH for a fast casual spot with no indoor seating.
Read moreAs other reviews have pointed out, they do run out of food here like a whole hour before they close so I suggest you call before you venture that way, especially if you aren’t nearby.
The service is never friendly. Their very short with you on the phone and in person.
I appreciate the vegan option in otherwise what would be a food desert. There are literally NO OTHER options like this in this neighborhood. With that said I don’t really think it caters to the demographic in the neighborhood as all dishes run you up $16. A smoothie and some food will easily cost you $30 .
I’ve been here a few times, last time I went food was bland, I don’t think I’ll be back.

Customer service/food - Edit
So second time coming to this place... never again... why? Well customer service is key to any establishment and this place seems to lack this. Especially with the chef, i walked smiled and greeted them and i got a sideways look 👀... anyways stated my name he slams the bag on the counter and tells me my cost. Not a thank you come again NOTHING...I thought let’s give them another try and order again. The food I ordered was the walnut tacos, very bland actually zero flavor at all, the tacos shells tasted old.. not as crunchy as one should be. I hope they improve or work on customer service, because they are key players in a under served community where food like this should be there top priority.

It’s just ok - Edit
This is a decent spot, however if I’m being honest it’s over priced & I’ve been plant based for over 4 years now; it’s lacking flavor for the most part. The narrative of “its more expensive b/c it’s healthy” is wearing thin at this point. They are located in the “hood”, so you’d think the prices would be a tad lower to entice more folks from the neighborhood, but no. I like the spot, buuuut It’s kind of overrated tbh.
Read morePros: Not processed, Made fresh seemingly , Service fairly friendly

Good Food Good Vibes - Edit
The food was amazing, had the kamut pasta with mushrooms. The mushrooms were TOO good. The staff was so nice and friendly too. Don’t live too far from Newark but it was my first time going here, it was during COVID so it was empty just pick up. Had a nice convo with the staff though.

Never Disappoints - Edit
I am a travel nurse from Georgia and I have eaten here 8-10 times and the food is fantastic!! The Ivory Teff soup the Chef makes is the best soup I have ever eaten! It is only served once per week (usually Friday or Saturday). Every other option I’ve eaten was great as well. It is pricey but you can eat twice on what you are given.

Changing tasty menu - Edit
They always have tasty options. They're in business with The Zucchini Bar next door (also vegan). When I went, they had 4 menu options, 1 of which was also gluten free.

Really good dish - Edit
Limited menu with four daily specials. If you love mushrooms you care to the right place. I however do not. But they replaced the shrooms with a quinoa fried strip that was incredible. Had the noodle dish which is served cold. Lots of flavor. Nice guys

Butternut squash pancakes 10/10 - Edit
Pancakes were so good & worth the wait. If you’re driving a distance to get there, call first to confirm their daily menu items/inventory bc the menu changes & sometimes they run out of pre-made foods.

Delicious! - Edit
Stopped over in Jersey for a layover and found this spot via HappyCow — I got the pasta salad and it was delicious 😍😍. I also went next door to their Zucchini Bar and ordered a walnut/caramel chocolate brownie and that was Amazing!! Leaving today and which I ordered 2😫. I also ordered some black beans and walnut Tacos for my plane ride (I tried them too and they were bomb). Lovely staff and ambiance , will be back when I’m next in Jersey!!!

Ran out of everything - Edit
They ran out of food when I was there. Also, the connected vegan business next door ran out, too. Not sure how you run out of everything at a restaurant.

Glad I Finally Made It - Edit
I had seen this restaurant here on Happy Cow for awhile and I finally had a chance to go. Nice people. Love supporting other Vegans of Color. Food is good and flavorful. If you are looking for faster service order the daily special. It is a small restaurant so things do take longer. I do want to come back for brunch.
Read morePros: Fresh food, Flavorful, Community vibe
Cons: Need time to get orders that are not on special, Not a lot of seating

Good - Edit
I got the blueberry mojito smoothie. Not what I expected but still good. Came on taco Tuesday and was told that the special ended at 2, but that wasn’t advertised. Regardless, everything my friends got they enjoyed.
