Super chill vibe-tasty sandwiches

This cozy little place has the chilliest vibe!
Think East Village but way easier on the wallet - it’s Jersey at its most unpretentious!

Blackboard menu with mostly vegan options - there are some vegetarian cheese choices as well.

We had a tempeh Reuben and a TLT (tempeh, lettuce, tomato) - both on whole grain bread ( gluten free options are available as well) - both were excellent!

All soups on the board were vegan - can’t wait to come back and try them!

As much attention was devoted to the eclectic music and magazine selection as the food- very important! Super nice staff who obviously care a lot.

We believe we’ve found our new hangout in Lambertville…

Pros: Nice selection of vegan salads, soups and sandwich, Chill vibe , Fun and funky music and magazine/book collection

Cozy and Delicious

I had not been here in years and it was a delight to be back. The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is friendly. I love the focused menu of smoothies, juices, salads, sandwiches, and soups. Most things can be made vegan. As others are said, you do have to wait for the food to be prepped. It's worth it have something freshly made with healthy ingredients.

We had the vegan reuben, beetnick juice, and bean chili. I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite, they were all so good. I overheard the table next to me raving about two other soup options as well.

There is table seating for about eight people inside. There were also lots of people coming in who ordered ahead and took things to go.

Pros: locally owned, great atmosphere

Quirky

Lots of options that are vegan or can be made vegan. I’ve been twice and enjoy the smoothies & bowls. Sandwiches were takeout and not very plentiful (might be different in person.) Both times service was slow and it wasn’t clear beforehand that it was cash/Venmo only (too much writing everywhere to have seen it.)
Lots going on inside (menu boards everywhere, record collection, magazines, games.)
Expect to wait half an hour for your order. And don’t expect it to be the price that’s listed on the menu. Both times we’ve been here, the price has been more than what’s listed. But this is one of the few vegan-friendly places, so I’ll still support it!

Pros: Vegan options, Yummy, Friendly

Cons: Slow service, Cash only, Prices aren’t accurate

Fantastic spot

Perfect lunch spot! Smoothies were incredible and so many options for vegans. I had a special, The Stretch, a perfect sandwich, it was just the right amount of heat, creaminess and TONS of flavor in every single bite!

Great all-vegetarian spot for juices, smoothies, or lunch

Jess's is one of my favorite places. I only wish they were open for dinner too - sometimes we order sandwiches before they close and then warm them up later. It's a small space with only a couple of tables, but great for take out. I've had the strawberry fields juice, the chocolate cherry smoothie (w/o honey), ginger shot, TLT, tempeh reuben, mandy's meltdown (you can sub vegan cheese on anything). Everything is delicious. They used to only take cash, but they take Venmo now too.

Pros: All vegetarian, most items can be made vegan, Reasonably priced

Cons: Not much seating

Good food

This is a mostly veg place but they do use honey and cheese in a lot of their items. Most of the smoothies have honey but you can ask them to leave it out. You can also sub vegan cheese for any cheese item. I got the TLT sandwich and Go Go Green smoothie and both were amazing. Staff seemed overworked though.

Pros: Healthy food, Many options

Cons: Uses honey and cheese

Their TLT is the best! Great soups, salads, smoothies and juices! If you want some light or something hearty, you’ll be able to find something! Very healthy choices available and mostly vegan options.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great taste, Healthy choices

Cons: Sometimes can be a bit of a wait. Call ahead.

Great Atmosphere, Even Better Food

This cafe is such a blessing and fits perfectly in funky Lambertville. Most of the menu is vegan or could easily be made vegan. Their vegan cheese of choice is Chao, which made me so happy because its daaaamn delicious. I got the reuben and it was truly one of the best Reuben's I've ever had; housemade dressing and on marbled rye *drool*. Other options are quite a few soups, salads and more sandwiches.

Now the atmosphere....ahhhh. The music is a speaker hooked up to a record player with a MASSIVE record collection that covers the entire wall next to the counter. There's a few tables inside and a wonderfully interesting collection of books to look through while your food & drinks are made (The one I found most interesting was The Book of Genesis....in graphic novel form.) Regulars came in and out, greeting each other kindly, herbalism classes and music events posts on the bulletin board...It was just so heartwarming to see this loving community buzzing on a beautiful day.

And yes, cash only and they do indeed take their time preparing your food. Slow food is beautiful, baby! The cafe is seemingly set up so you can enjoy your time while you wait. We will certainly be coming back.

Way more than a juice bar!

The name of the restaurant made me avoid it for a long time -- when I am looking for a meal, I don't just want a smoothie! But one day we decided to stop in anyway and WOW!

My daughter got a (vegan) pesto grilled cheese sandwich that I am still thinking about. There's plenty of variety in terms of hearty meals or quick, light options -- and juice, of course. :)

The service was pretty slow, but the staff were very friendly and it was a pleasant atmosphere to wait in. There were a number of books -- including children's books -- available, plus tons of records to look through.

Pros: delicious food, variety of options, kid-friendly

Cons: slow service, limited seating, misleading name!

Vegan friendly

This is a small place with a food menu that is very accommodating to vegans. They use tempeh in a few menu items and will use the delicious chao vegan cheese in place of any cow cheese upon request. I especially like the vegan grilled cheese with cashew nut pesto.
The juices and smoothies I've tried are great too. A lot of the drinks list honey on the menu- just ask and they'll omit it.

Pros: Good, healthy vegan options, Friendly service

Cons: Very slow service

Good juice and smoothie, not a fan of the atmosphere.

Pro:I got a Strawberry fields juice (carrot, strawberries, I forget what else) and it was good, but not cold. Tip: ask for ice if you want cold juice!

Pro: Fiance got a smoothie- I forgot the name, but it was cocoa and banana and it was so good! Like a dessert.

Pro:The books they have are pretty cool, too.

Con: It took a while to get our smoothies/juice. And the place smelled like something was burnt. I was glad to leave and enjoy my juice on my walk

Pros: Great banana cocoa smoothie

Cons: Long wait (with no line), Employee was okay, but not super nice. , Juice wasn't cold.
