The BBQ ranch burger

Hi guys! I want to give a review for the Vegan Ranch BBQ burger🍔 that I got today @chickpeaandolive which is located in Whole Foods Market at 238 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn. Why! Because the vegan burger 🍔 is that Good. This is my 2nd time I had the Vegan Ranch BBQ burger! Last weekend was the 1st time I ever tried this Burger but I decided not to write the review b/c I didn't take photos of the vegan ranch BBQ burger I ordered @chickpeaandolive at the same location & opted to go food shopping then after I put the groceries in the back of the car & I decided to eat the burger in the car on the way home b/c I didn't want the burger to get any colder & lose it's taste! This wasn't the case in taste wise! This had to be 1 of the Best vegan burgers if not the Best vegan burger I ever eaten👌🏻! I remember the woman saying when she handed me the burger, Enjoy it! And that I did😋! I told that same woman today that burger was the Best burger I ever had! The accolade I'm giving for the taste of that Ranch BBQ burger is EXCELLENT! This photo you see is of the Ranch BBQ burger with fries is from today & I worried a little if was I was going to like it that much again! It tasted EXCELLENT!!! The fries were great too! Give IT A TRY👍🏻!!! #veganfoodlovers #vegan #vegansofig #plantbase #plantbased #chickpeaandolive #chickpeaandolivebrooklyn #love #cruelyfree #cruelfreefood #cruelfree #brooklyn #newyorkcity #newyork #queens #veganlovers #veganloversfoods ...YOU CAN FINE ME ON YOUTUBE😀 I DO OTHER REVIEWS OF VEGAN FOOD!

Jackfruit BBQ is bomb

I had the jackfruit BBQ sandwich here and it was amazing! Definitely more of a junk food vegan place but it is so worth it. I normally don't like horseradish but actually loved the aoli. The sandwich was giant and filling. I like how they have a lot of different options other than your basic veggie burger or health food fare. I also love that this is in whole foods because it is very convenient to grab while you shop! You can put in an order and then pay when you check out with your groceries. Would definitely recommend for a quick meal to go.

Pros: Big portions, Quick

Cons: Not super healthy

The Best

I’m obsessed with Chickpea & Olive. I live a few blocks down from the Whole Foods they are in, so I go way more than I should. The buffalo chicken fried tofu sandwich is hands down my favorite thing, but everything else is delicious too. They have an awesome cheesesteak made from jackfruit, and their nacho fries are killer. They make all of their own sauces, and everything is always fresh. If you’re looking for something hearty and packed with flavor, definitely go here.

Pros: All vegan duh, Fresh ingredients and amazing flavors, Super friendly staff

Can’t wait to try EVERYTHING!

I visited the Smorgasburg kiosk in Williamsburg and ordered the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich. It was one of the best jackfruit sandwiches I have ever eaten!! From bun to toppings to the Jackfruit itself it was delicious! The staff was amazing friendly and kind. I will be visiting again to try everything else on the menu!!

Pros: Flavor and freshness , Nice staff , Creativity

delicious vegan food

This place is a small kiosk in whole foods. Lots of amazing options - I had the Philly cheesesteak style baguette with jackfruit, chicken style with a delicious mayo style sauce. Really good food!

Inside Whole Foods aprox 20 ft from front doors

Wish there was a huge sign with arrow over here VEGANS!!!! Fries very salty and I confess I love that especially on a hot day like today. Delicious dipping sauce.


Great vegan burgers and very generous portions!

I like the containers which look eco friendly and it makes it easy to bring home what you don't.


Very nice kind staff member and I like it but there's a bathroom in whole foods I can wash my hands

Pros: staff

Chickpea, O I LOVE YOU !

Fav ! Fav ! Fav !
If the world only knew how much I love chickpeas & how much I love olives. Lol. So right from there, this place caught my attention & hadn't got rid of me since. I've been a loyal customer to there 3rd Ave Whole Foods location & now with them moving to the Whole Foods in Williamsburg, I've followed them & I'm still in love. I bring friends there all the time to try this greatness. My first time tasting the food at this magical place was summer '16 @ Smorgasburg in Williamsburg where I had my first BBQ Jackfruit burger ever. & because of you guys, I learned what a jackfruit was, I went & got some of my own & create meals with it all the time. Next I had my first beet burger ever. Tried vegan cheese for the first time & so many other things because of the sweetest workers ever. Kim is a DARLING. Everyone on the team in fact & I wish I knew everyone's names but I love you guys, the food, the locations. I CANT WAIT TIL YOU GUYS OPEN UP A STORE BECAUSE I WILL BE THERE FRONT & CENTER WITH A LINE OF FRIENDS WAITING TO SUPPORT YOU GUYS. Thank you for everything.

Beets don't kale my vibe

Delicious, Organic, vegan, mostly locally sourced, affordable. Pleasantly surprising, Excellent vegan find at Brooklyn's weekly Smorgasburg event at Prospect Park. So much to choose from. Decided on a salad & it did not disappoint. Topping a bed of fresh romaine & green leaf lettuces was a homemade beet Patty, heirloom tomatoes, hickory smoke eggplant bacon, vegan cheddar, pickles drizzled with homemade ranch. Beet Patty was just right moist, held together well. The eggplant bacon was well seasoned, thickly sliced and just crisp enough to provide a good texture contrast to the patty. Companion had the pulled BBQ jackfruit sandwich, & enjoyed the texture and flavor, this being their first time trying jackfruit.
Offers catering, and serves at popups throughout Brooklyn. Will seek them out on my next visit to the area; definitely worth a return trip.
Now open inside Brooklyn's Whole Foods Market! So glad for brick/mortar location. Noshed on the Oyster Mushroom Po'boy sandwich, with a side of truffle fries. Oyster Mushrooms​ lightly battered, deep fried, deliciously crispy, light, not at all greasy; hand cut fries sprinkled with truffle salt nice accompaniment. Very filing.

Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious food, Good variety, filling, affordable

Cons: none

Good burgers

They have 3 different burgers that are served either on a bun ($12) or w/ salad ($10). I tried two different ones and they were both very good. Service could be more friendly/helpful

Pros: good food, cheap by nyc standards

Cons: okay service, but not top notch

Great Find At Smorgasburg

This spot is a welcome vegan presence in the carnist orgy of Williamsburg eats. I loved the beet sliders, and I'm looking forward to trying more. They do catering, too!

Pros: Delicious, Healthy, Fun

Cons: Seasonal, Few GF Options
