Unique and Plentiful Vegan Options!

This place is actually so good!! A ton of vegan options of ethnic dishes that you can't normally get vegan and that aren't served at your normal vegan restaurant. We got the vegan chicken lo mein and the vegan pepper steak and both were super flavorful and amazing! Overall, a great place for vegans in an area with not a lot of vegan restaurants/options!

Fantastic meal

Separate vegan menu with delicious and authentic Caribbean options. It took us two visits to catch them open but totally worth it! Texted in our order as the Facebook page suggests. Got a quick response both times (when they were closed and when they were open). Portions were huge and could be shared. We were hungry after two days at the water park with limited options. My husband had no problem finishing off both amazing dishes.

Pros: Unique mock meat options , Flavorful , Large portions

Cons: Hard to know when open

Great food near Great Wolf

You take the kids to Great Wolf lodge and the food there is garbage. Good luck finding veg options you’ll want to eat. Caricom is right across from Great Wolf. Awesome vegan options. Huuuuge portions. A meal is about a couple of lbs. It is big! I got vegan steak tips. Comes with plantains, sautéed veggies, and a huge bed of rice and beans with Caribbean spices. It was yummy and hot - temperature-wise. Yes. They take orders by text.

Pros: Taste, Portions, Order by text

Cons: Not for dine in. Limited seating.

Hidden gem

Delicious food, big portions, decent prices. In both a vegan & cultural options starved area like the Poconos, this place is especially welcome. Had to dock a star due to unreliable opening hours and food availability (today was my first successful trip despite trying a few times) so plan ahead if you visit, spontaneity will not be your friend. Otherwise make sure to hit this spot.

A real pleasant surprise

Had a lovely vegan lasagna, which I don't think I've had anywhere else! Big portions and several options in an area where even beyond burgers have cheese buns. Text your order, give a bit of extra time, and pick up at the window. Food is tasty and filling.

Pros: Several options, Big portions

Cons: Can only order by texting

Delicious, Plentiful Food

We ate here while vacationing in the Delaware Water Gap in July of 2020. I texted my order 20 minutes before arriving and they texted me back with some alternate menu items. I guess a dish I wanted was not available. When we got there, we waited for a short while for our food. It was a little strange but then everything was a little strange emerging from lock-down. The food was plentiful and tasty. I look forward to trying this place again. It's not my choice everyday vegan food as I am not so much into the fake meat, but it is definitely a special occasion treat that shakes up the everyday doldrum.

Pros: Food tastes good., Large portions.

Cons: It just consists of a take-out window., Probably quite high calorie.

Good option

This place, along with Thai Orchard, was a life saver for my weekend at the Poconos. You have to text your order, even though there’s always a guy by the order window. When I placed my order, the person on the other end was very prompt in texting me their menu but took 30mins to tel me they didn’t have what I originally ordered. Once I got my plate, it was worth all the hassle. It was a huge portion and delicious food. I ended up getting the teriyaki chicken. It’s great to have options in such an isolated area

Pros: Big portions

Cons: Slightly expensive, Inconsistent schedule

Always closed

Twice I went to have their food and was looking forward to trying their vegan options. I go out of my way on my way home from work to find they are closed. Both times they were closed though their hours show they should be open. I will never go again. Very inconsiderate.

Sooooo good!

The musics really loud and you have to shout to give your order. There is no where to sit. Take out only. We ordered the chicken bao. Awesome portions. It came with plantains, beans and rice and cabbage. It was very very good. You have to wait about 15 min for vegan order cuz they make it fresh but so worth it. We will come again. I loved the food. It’s really really good.

Pros: Good cookin, Great portions, Made fresh

Cons: Loud music, No seating, Styrofoam containers and non vegan food

Yes! Vegan Caribbean and Jamaican food!

This is the first place I've yet to find that offers vegan Caribbean and Jamaican food! Always wanted to try it so I was very excited and they did not disappoint. There are a bunch of vegan options to choose from. We tried the teriyaki, ginger and lemon chicken dishes and the food was SO GOOD! Great service too. Highly recommend. You can pay with a credit card now as well.

Pros: Lots of options, great food and service!

Cons: None

Vegan options in the Poconos!

Somehow we never noticed Caribbean Spices when we lived in the area. Vegan Beef and Broccoli and Vegan Ginger Chicken were both great - perfect for a cold winter night. The service was friendly and food was perfect. Earlier reviews said cash only, but it seems they take cards now (best check in advance).

Pros: Friendly staff, Large portions, Great food

Cons: Making a left out of the parking lot is tricky

Most Vegan Options In the Area

By far the most vegan options available. Take out only, cash only. Mostly Caribbean, plus a teriyaki option or two. The owner/chef is vegan, and one of the nicest people you'll meet in the Poconos/Stroudsburg area.

Pros: Most Vegan Options In the Area

Cons: Take Out Only, Cash Only
