Delicious - Edit
The burger was excellent - the burger along with the toppings was a delicious combo! Sides were tasty. They change. Had a cabbage side which is now my favorite cabbage dish. Unfortunately, I live out of state. Would be a regular if I lived closer.

authentic Jamaica and Rastafarian tasty healthy vegan food - Edit
I recently went to Kale Cafe in Daytona w/ my friend. We each ordered the vegan combo plate that comes w/ one main ting & three sides. For the main ting there were four options: seitan, tofu, mushrooms, or chana masala. There were eight side tings to choose from.
Read moreMe & my friend both opted for the Coconut Jerk Seitan w/ eggplant, broiled potatoes, rice & peas, and I had the vegan Mac & Cheese while he opted for the cabbage.
We split a kale salad & shared a Jamaican vegan beef patty. The meal was hearty, flavorful & satisfying. I especially loved the Coconut Jerk Seitan w/ eggplant and the Vegan Mac & Cheese.
The vegan cheese is made in house from potatoes, coconut milk, & nutritional yeast.
The Kale Salad was nice to get some greens plus had a flavorful dressing that had accents of lemon. The Jamaican vegan beef patty shouldn't be missed as this was a unique treat.
Although our lunch was very satisfying we decided to split some vegan sweet bread for desert that was made w/ blueberries & peanut butter.
The owner Camille stopped by our table. She was very kind & appreciated her hospitality making us feel welcome. Her & her husband are both longtime vegans.
They are from Jamaica & are Rastafarian so the food at their restaurant is Ital. Ital means Vital. It is an essentially whole foods plant based vegan diet. The food here is both flavorful & healthy which we both appreciated.
Besides the vegan combo plate the menu has much to offer. There are half a dozen smoothies. Half a dozen fresh juices. All the drinks can be had in three different sizes. The food here is Non-GMO & organic as much as possible. Everything here is 100 percent vegan!
There is the Raw plate for raw vegans. For light eaters or children there is the light eater plate that is one main ting & one side. For fans of veggie burgers they offer a made in house organic veggie burger. There is a brunch offered every Saturday.
Will be sure to return next time I am in the area. Don't miss the all you can eat vegan buffet the last Sunday of every month from 11am to 3pm.
Pros: authentic Jamaica and Rastafarian vegan food, tasty and healthy, kind hospitality
Cons: too much choice...haha

We do not recommend this cafe if you have somewhere to be. - Edit
We put in for a mobile order through Yelp / Grub Hub an hour before we arrived. They didn’t know what I was talking about, and I had to show them the order on my phone. They hadn’t paid attention to slips coming in but had a DoorDash order ready before ours. We had to wait another half hour for our order. The family was nice. The server didn’t apologize, even after they were out of something we’d ordered. We really enjoyed the vegan chicken sandwich. We ordered the Big Ras but didn’t get the vegan cheese or vegan bacon on it. The cinnamon roll and smoothie were great.
Read morePros: Yummy
Cons: Looong wait, Don’t know how to handle mobile order via Yelp , No apology for tardiness or missing item

So Delicious - Edit
I got the Chickenless Agave Sandwich and Plantains and my husband got the Buffalo Seitan Sandwich. Everything was delicious!! My sandwich reminded me of the honey mustard chicken sandwich from Wendy’s only elevated with sautéed onions and mushrooms with kale and tomato. My husband’s tasted like a light airy buffalo falafel and it was spongy and delicious. Plus, you can’t go wrong with plantains. I’ll be eating here more often for sure, and cannot wait to try more menu items.

LOVE THIS PLACE - Edit
I adore Kale Cafe as this place introduced me to delicious tasting vegan food even before I was vegan. The family is adorable and full of love. The father even knows me by name. You almost always see their children which brightens my day, they will say hello, help check you out with the iPad or just make silly faces. One of my favorite parts of going. The mother bakes treats that are also for sale and help conquer my sweet tooth.
Read moreWeeknights the burgers are super cheap and just as delicious as full price.
Would eat a full pan of BBQ seitan if I could.
Jerk mushrooms are incredibly spicy.

Pros: weeknight burger deal, 100% vegan , Baked goods
Cons: Smoothie prices are very high, Woman at counter is not nice, Could switch up options more often

Delicious Food, Friendly Staff - Edit
I ordered the smothered seitan with marinated kale, rice and beans, and cucumber salad, and a papaya chia smoothie. The sauce used for the kale was spectacular. The food took some time to arrive because of some mishaps, but they were kind enough to offer complementary sides. I would 100% come here again. They had a brunch buffet going on while I was there, and I overheard the staff say that the buffets may become a weekly thing.

Worth the drive! - Edit
I live 2 hours away so I don’t make it here very often but I look forward to it for the whole drive! Stopped on my road trip to get a veggie burger (it was as amazing as I remember) and a delicious veggie value meal & breakfast meal to go for my road trip to NC. Can’t wait to go back!

Mac n sheese, just do it! - Edit
The veggie burger, mac and sheese, and kale salad were the bomb. Please get all 3 then thank me later. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was the wait, we got there around 3pm and the wait was almost an hour. We were sitting outside due to covid, and luckily it was breezy. My mom and I talked about that mac n sheese for the next 2 days as we tried a couple vegan restaurants over my vacation to the state. Maybe call ahead to order instead of waiting there. They also let you sample whatever sides you'd like to before ordering them.

Great Food, Better Experience - Edit
I came right before closing and had one of the best experiences from the two women behind the counter. I came in with dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating walking me through all of the options and creating some very memorable ones. I left with a box full of delicious food and a smile on my face. I drive up and down the east coast for business fairly often and this was a delight to my day. Highly recommended.

Best Seitan Ever - Edit
So glad I came to Kale Cafe!! Such a chill Carribean themed cafe with delicious and affordably priced juices and smoothies. The staff is so friendly and let's you sample any of the side dishes. I got the best seitan sandwich I've ever had here!! Was not expecting that. Everything is delicious and flavorful and made with love

Vegan Love - Edit
Kale Cafe is our dream come true: we felt like we were at a family gathering, smelling all the enticingly seasoned, completely healthy vegan Caribbean foods as we slipped in the door, people chatting and laughing, with kids all around.. Then, we found we could not only sample, but have a value plate of favorites from the menu! The flavors: zounds!! We'll make this reunion as often as we can (we'd like them to adopt us)! Seriously, we take our time to make our own extremely amazing-tasting dishes, so when we find a place that serves food as good and as healthy as ours, we just want to move in.
Read morePros: All vegan, healthy, super well-flavored, Knowledgeable, helpful, happy staff
Cons: Trouble hearing over music when ordering
